Connor Vaughn Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Honestly, what a great move by the Tennessee brass. This kid really thought he had any kind of leverage…. 2

jkates Posted April 12 Posted April 12 This kid and his handlers overplayed their hand. Right move by Heupel. 6
Glass Joe Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Here’s the interesting dynamic of the Nico situation for me. He’s being represented by his uncle (Cord Landers) and he tried the tactic of holding out of practice to force a better NIL deal. However, on the other side, Tennessee football has Jimmy Sexton (most powerful agent in college football) as both a huge program donor and a member of the Board of Trustees of the university. It’s like mortal combat of the agents here 😀. It is also telling that Nico / Uncle Cord are trying to pull this during the Spring portal when some of the deepest pockets programs in college football (SEC schools) can NOT even bid for Nico and have him eligible to play for them in the fall. That really trims down the list of programs that can pay big money for Nico. Memo to Cord Landers: learn the basics of supply and demand before advising your nephew / client to put himself on the market. 5

Derek Handler Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Guess we will play him Columbus. Good, I’m not impressed. 3
Drunk randoke Posted April 12 Posted April 12 (edited) Nico to sand aggy? No clue. Sounds like something those mouth breathers would do. Edited April 12 by Drunk randoke
Quinncent McManning, Jr. Posted April 12 Posted April 12 There were red flags with him the way he got to Tennessee in the first place. Plus he isn’t exactly a world beater so good for Tennessee to move on. Now they will be the tamperers.

Bevo92 Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I respect Tennessee for cutting ties and not continuing to be held hostage/. Seeing these stories of money grabbing, no loyalty, low character, makes me appreciate Arch and his family for Arch’s character, patience, loyalty and ‘team first’ mindset even more. Hope this story sends message to other kids and parents they need to stop and think twice before calling other schools. We don’t know behind the scenes what drove this. Was it Nico or his dad? https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/44642537/sources-tennessee-moving-starting-qb-nico-iamaleava
GoHorns1 Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Nico will be cancer regardless where he plays next season. He isn’t a team player.
ArizonaLonghorn Posted April 12 Posted April 12 1 hour ago, THookem said: Thanks for posting that. # 6 QB in that class was Jaden Rashada, who accepted a supposed $9 million deal with Miami, backed out when Florida offered $13.5 million (there are copies of that contract on the internet, it was real), showed up on campus as an early enrollee only to learn the boosters couldn't raise the money. He got a release from Florida and ended up at Arizona State (not much NIL money in the desert but his dad had played here). Played OK but not worth big bucks, entered portal again when ASU took Sam Leavitt and is now at Georgia. With the unlimited transfers and NIL bucks being tossed around there are a lot of interesting career paths for today's QBs. A lot of them are making poor choices chasing the $$ and playing time.
