Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[apevol]

The more I read the more I feel Nico’s camp sorely misread the landscape and underestimated the weight their actions carried. The kid had the keys to this city. Now he’s gonna have the keys to his lambo and that might be it.

its like hea been studying at the Kanye West School of PR

Stayley has butter fingers, and the qbs looked shaky in 7on7, we definitely need a qb to compete for qb1 in the portal, as well as a wr or 2

You got all of this in about 45 minutes?

Just from watching this he 7on7 and typed this after the first couple of drives of the scrimmage

Madden is at Arkansas

So Nico gonna walk on at Arkansas, thus avoiding the in sec transfer rule since not on scholarship. Then start for them this season, in the game against us in Knoxville. Holy hell that environment would be so metal.

Nico about to be blackballed. Other coaches are going to band together and make an example out of him. Couldn't have picked a worse time to try and pull this stunt, never mind the time in the football cycle which is the absolute worst transfer window for a QB who wants to be a starter.

 

[Adam Sandler]

I don’t know why any top school would take him at this point. He’s proven he only cares about his interests first, not the school or team. And he’s proven to be average at best, with some flashes of excellence. Nico’s not worth it.

Like the usc qb that ended up at Boise and not getting the starting job

Cam looking good in spring game

For real. The guy had 2 years to learn the system here and they still had to dumb it down for him. Now he thinks he's gonna transfer to another school and master their system before the fall?

I honestly had no idea nico was this dumb.

Nico's Dad:

"Son, for your next interview the game plan is to wear a black hood. Please do your pre-reads of the reporters as this is clearly your strength."

everyone point and laugh

What if this was all crafted by a school that Nico’s crew was talking to and now they’re driving his NIL value down so they can get him for a bargain?

“More games being played off the field than on.”

Wow. So glad we are GangGang on the socials

Maybe everyone just chill. Didn't know the full story a day ago. Probably don't now. Can we not just chill and reflect down the road?

The whole story is that our overpaid starting QB bailed on the last day of spring practice. Unless it comes out that we reneged on a commitment (which has not been suggested by anyone) it's 100% on the kid who didn't think $2+M was enough for his decent-ish performance. We have every right to be mad and they deserve every bit of bad press it brings them. Don't like it? Honor the deal you committed to.

He’s from California. I doubt he gives a **** about Tennessee or Knoxville at all. I don’t think any of that mattered to him. Paycheck does, though.

Oh fine, since no one else said it…GMac looked night and day better than Merk, granted there’s a ton of moving pieces there, but that’s my thoughts after the game

I was more excited about GMac than I was Nico or Merk. I’d love to see us hand him the reigns. He’s a pretty classy guy, which also helps.

I'm pretty sure we know the full story now. There's no other way to spin it. His family is greedy as hell, and their son is an average QB

 

[Christian Lowe]

Reminds me of this story in reverse about how the business of sports is very two faced

 

[JCVol00]

Chills man

 

[Adam Sandler]

He might want to fake an injury and not be able to go that day

 

[Adam Sandler]

Agree. I’m hearing it was actually the team leaders that put nail in coffin for Nico. In the end, I believe a net positive, and cautionary tail for some of the players on the team. This will be a good thing for the squad.

This makes me feel a bit better

 

[JCP201]

I was thinking about Lanning-- Oregon has always been our sister school. I can always root for them, unless they are playing us.

 

[SugarCC]

I don't know what kind of pan-pacific bullsh!t power play Nico tried playing; but, it's scorched earth on him by literally everyone.

 

[CABVOL]

THIS.

We lost our starting qb because someone leaked a rumor of a contract negotiation.

It doesn’t get any more fragile than that. Can’t believe we continue to fumble the bag and the management of our undeniably most important program.

No. We lost our starting QB bc he and his camp was shopping him around and was trying to hold UT hostage to force the 4m. The only thing fumbled was from Nico’s camp; along with the Taxes for Dummies book apparently.
