Recruiting Football Talk VII

Nico checks the most boxes (skill, arm talent, athleticism, accuracy) of any QB we’ve ever signed.

I can’t wait to see him progress

Peyton over everybody tho

What intrigues me the most about Nico is how down to earth he is reported to be. All these coaches and experts and teammates repeatedly say he is grounded and a good teammate etc. Gonna be a fun guy to root for.

 

[DD4ME]

Yes

 

[peaygolf]

Marcel Reed, im kind of impressed so far.

Happy for him. Father is a great man.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Lol...it sounds like you keep talking yourself into higher and higher expectations within a few seconds...hell you'll be saying we are dropping 65+ on them by the time the game starts..24-28-32-34...40+

38-41 is being conservative. Likely 48

 

[85SugarVol]

Nico Nico Nico!

We’re going to be saying why was he sitting the bench soon.

But our optimism for next season will be through the roof.

Go Vols

Nico could come out and throw for 500 yards and the same cast of characters would maintain that playing Joe was the “right thing” to do lol.

Will one of you nice fellas post that Shane Beamer at the microphone looking down and flinching gif and insert Nico’s face in it?? Much appreciated.

Vols by fiddy. Just say it. LFG!

Ridge of the roof or forget it.

Ole Piss wanted to pay him more than TN would esp after he did the same thing last year.

Thanks! Guess they felt like me. I didn’t even care he wanted to leave this year.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Well, I've never actually watched Iowa this season (astute analysis follows ), but if the "expertly disguised zone coverage" described above actually is their strength then maybe it will be more difficult to disguise against those extra wide receiver splits.

In any case, I do believe that Heupel's extreme tempo offense is hard to prepare for, so just getting lined up fast enough may be Iowa's defensive weakness this weekend.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I think I would go
Manning
Clausen
Nico
Bray

I think Nico might end up on top, but damn that is a lot of pressure. I think of Manning's career when people start anointing him. Really really good, but no rings.

Rings are team trophies. If LSU’s QB can win the Heisman with 3 losses then nobody should ever talk about Peyton any more.

 

[drylo]

The future’s so bright… ah, y’all know the rest.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Rings are team trophies. If LSU’s QB can win the Heisman with 3 losses then nobody should ever talk about Peyton any more.

Peyton couldn’t beat UF and Clausen beat UF twice in the swamp are some of the dumbest things. People need to realize football is a team sport that needs all 22 players and the coaching staff to be successful.

[pismonque]

Ugh. I was at that damn game. Dodgers didn't give up but couldn't overcome Lynn's abysmal inning.

 

[knoxvol52]

I see SEC is off to a stellar start in Bowl season.....

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Over or under 225 passing yards for Nico against Iowa.

Over.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

CJH wouldn't let a 6th year Senior QB call audibles, he isn't going to let a Freshmen QB either...

So yes ,Nico will be looking towards sidelines as much as Joe did...

Doubtful with the headset installed. Shouldn’t have to look to sideline as much.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Might see us throw more slants and hot routes over the middle with Nico. Seemed like we stayed outside of the hashes almost entirely with Joe.

Joe kept himself outside the hashes. Plenty of open routes inside the hashes with Joe that he just didn’t throw.

 

[volbeast33]

FSU couldn’t score more than 16 against Louisville and this rando named Miller Moss now has 6 TD passes against the Cardinals lol.

not the same team…. Louisville had 11 players opt out of the bowl game.

 

[knoxvol52]

FSU couldn’t score more than 16 against Louisville and this rando named Miller Moss now has 6 TD passes against the Cardinals lol.

4* Pro Style Quarterback , perfect fit to Lincoln Riley's offense....

Reason why 5* Malachi Nelson hit the Portal...

 

[knoxvol52]

Peyton couldn’t beat UF and Clausen beat UF twice in the swamp are some of the dumbest things. People need to realize football is a team sport that needs all 22 players and the coaching staff to be successful.

ESPN talked Woodson up to Media, voting wasn't even close won by almost 300 votes...Peyton done himself no favors by having a mediocre SEC Championship game vs Auburn...

Woodson was going to win because the Country wanted him too...everybody but Tennessee fans...

 

[you]

Hooker and Joe seem really similar to me in that regard. I personally think the OL taking a step back and Joe just being an average QB instead of really good was more the problem. Those two issues compound each other.

I didn’t see that in Hooker. He was serious and appeared to care more.

 

[knoxvol52]

Moss was the 76th ranked overall player in the country and has been in college since ‘21.

Brock Glenn was the 481st ranked player in the country and was in HS last year.

Say what you want about Lincoln Riley and his pathetic defenses...

The guy stacks Quarterbacks like firewood ...
