Tennessee & Nico in a contract dispute?

I don't think any major players are gonna roll the dice on a kid who pulled this stunt. He hasn't show he's nearly good enough. He's gonna end up at some low-middling P4 school

There are desperate programs out there. He might not get his asking price though…so he needs stop with the demands and play football

last season was his first year as a starter.. might shock you but players can get better year to year.. and maybe he can make it to a 6th year and be like Pennix or Howard?

Have no idea.. I think Riley could get the best out of him.. I think Lanning offers the most QB friendly offense at Oregon.. But who knows at this point.. just know it can't be another SEC school because of conference rules (unless he's cool to sit out '25)

Lanning is the one that told everyone he was being shopped by his old man.

None of the usual higher level teams are desperate for a QB right now, he shoulda pulled this stunt right after the season instead of waiting until now when rosters, especially at QB are already pretty established. No way he's going somewhere to be a backup either with this entitlement.

Some low-mid level P5 will take a stab at him, but he's downgrading from Tennessee for sure.
 
Nico fumbled the bag, and now nobody wants him:

More factual context on the Nico situation. In regards to his NIL contract he was an absolute pain to deal with holding up his end of the requirements. Fan autograph sessions, meet and greets etc. Almost never showed up. Ghosted. Many inside happy to say good riddance.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE HERE: Am told EMPHATICALLY that neither Notre Dame nor USC has any interest whatsoever in Nico Iamaleava.

On this front, source tells me Texas Tech is not involved with Nico, either. With returning starter Behren Morton back healthy, Texas Tech is not in the market for a starting quarterback.

Yeah. QB’s who don’t transfer before spring practice stands a very poor chance of starting next year. That period is critical for development especially if you have to learn a new offense. Unless you’re a freak of nature (Nico isn’t) odds on winning the starting job if you transfer now are low.

And / or drug dealers / cartel members

Oklahoma ruined him and now he may be headed there … or Ole Miss (would be epic internet reaction online) … or…. Michigan … or Ohio State… :pop2:

No, he's not going to another SEC school:



Max Olson said:
Reminder on the SEC's intraconference transfer rules: No SEC-to-SEC transfers in the spring portal, even for grad transfers. Nico can't go to another SEC school and gain immediate eligibility, and Tennessee can't go get their next starter from an SEC foe.

Not saying shit until someone official comes out and says Ohio State isn't interested.

Not saying I want that either, but the fact that Kienholz and Sayin have both struggled this spring concerns me that Day might try something crazy

Did you watch the spring game? I KNOW it's a spring game but Sayin definitely looks ready, the quick release and decision making will make him a top end distributor to all of our weapons.

If Day is dumb enough to dump Sayin for a guy who's already shown he's a below mid passer at the P5 level then i'm right back on the Fire Ryan Day train.

I think most of the "smoke" about Sayin struggling and Kienholz having a chance was mostly manufactured to keep Kienholz from transferring already.

Didn't get to watch it. We are going out of town for Easter weekend so we did family Easter dinner yesterday instead.

Like I said, I don't expect it to happen, and I fully expect Sayin to come out on top, but crazier things have happened and I won't rule it out
