Vols QB Commit Iamaleavea Punches Ticket to Elite 11 Finals, Talks Peer Recruiting Efforts and More

The Elite 11 tours across the country, including an upcoming stop in Los Angeles, but a congested schedule led Iamaleava back to the Volunteer State to compete for his spot in the finals.

"Honestly, schedule's just busy and this is a free weekend we had open so we were like, might as well do it in the hometown," he said of competing in Nashville. "So, we decided to come home to Tennessee. For the LA one, I think I got volleyball that weekend, so I decided to come out here."

Iamaleava and Tate have had several opportunities to connect since first meeting at the Vanderbilt game in November, and the relationship between the two has flourished since.

"It's grown heavy," Iamaleava said of this. "The first time I met him was the Vanderbilt game. We kicked it off right there, we wasn't real close then, but I'd say after that we linked again in Cali 7-on-7 tourney, so I got to see him again and that's where we really clicked before we went to Tennessee. After we went to Tennessee, that's when we already had that bond and everything. Now we continue to build, we facetime every now and then. I feel good about Carnell."
The message from Iamaleava to the nation's top receiver is to the point.

"I just pitch to him the opportunity we have at Tennessee," he said of this. "I think a lot of other colleges are already well-established, you know the Bamas and Georgias that already have national championships, and I think Tennessee we have the opportunity to build a class and hopefully bring a championship back. I bring that to him, and the city of Knoxville, I love Knoxville. Tennessee, I love Tennessee. I bring up the people to him. He loves the fans, he's seen the fans and how they are. So overall, it's really the opportunity we have."

We’re trading an away game for a practical home venue in important recruiting territory.

We play in a practical home venue in Nashville every other year.

As far as the fan base in middle TN, I think it's save to say we own that territory about as much as what is possible.

Getting in roads with the private Nashville schools and the Murfreesboro high schools... Sure. But I don't see how yet another game in that sorry ass stadium (I can say it as a Titans fan) is gonna help.

Mom said that before she met Jack, she'd never seen an innie penis before. She thought he was just a girl.

“Memorial (Day) weekend I’ll be back with a lot of other top guys I’m trying to bring,” said Iamaleava, who’s ranked by 247Sports as the No. 3 overall prospect and No. 3 quarterback in the 2023 class. “I know Francis is going to be back, going to be here Memorial weekend. I just talked to him. I’m just continuing to build this class, and it’s going well.”

Iamaleava said he has been in contact with “a lot of guys out there.” Four-star wide receiver Carnell Tate, another IMG Academy standout who’s a top-50 prospect nationally, is among the other coveted players Iamaleava has been recruiting for Tennessee. Tate returned to Knoxville over the weekend after the Vols hosted him on an official visit the weekend of April 9, when Iamaleava spent time with him.

“Obviously, one guy is Carnell,” Iamaleava said Sunday afternoon, listing some of the players he’s recruiting. “He’s up here right now. … Carnell, Francis — those two guys. (Five-star cornerback) Tony Mitchell, definitely one of the guys. Tausili Akana — he’s from Utah, outside ‘backer — definitely a guy.

“There’s a lot of guys out there that I can’t name right now. They’re all in my contacts and stuff. I call them every time. But there’s a lot of guys out there.”

SEC Network still sucks. Even during the daytime, they clutter their channel with Paul Fineblast. instead of SEC game or film. Where are the tennis, games, track meets, and other ladies and mens sports? They are almost as useless as teats on a boar hog.
