Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava holding out for more NIL money. UPDATE: Nico enters transfer portal and going to UCLA

[Apprentice]

This dude is screwed. Getting in the 2nd portal for a QB is dumb. Can't expect to start right away. It's so late to learn the playbook and learn his teammates.

Watch Lincoln Riley gon sign him and start him

 

[distinguishedNOW]

I’m not mad at him having the ability to make the decision but he most likely made a dumb one unless he wanted to leave anyway.

He probably two transfers away from ending up in a better situation. He about to take a step back with this first one.

 

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

Good for Tennessee. Can’t sit that kind of precedent for a mid QB.

Man last night I was thinking why doesn’t Tenn just bush this nikka

This NIL shyt is gonna be a real push and pull

 

[RammerJammer]

The problem with Nico transferring now is that he can’t transfer to another SEC school because the SEC prohibits spring transfers in conference and if you look at the contenders outside of the SEC who’s gonna take on a potential $4 million backup?

It’s not really Nico’s fault, it’s his dad pushing this

This isn't sustainable and the longer the NCAA waits the worse this shyt is gonna go...

 

[earl n water]

Nico's dad about to turn him into another Jaden Rashada. Bouncin' from program to program tryna get the biggest bag.

 

[Professor K.]

I wonder how this will play into his draft projections. Do NFL teams see this as no different than a training camp holdout or do they see this as a "character concern"? He probably would've left after a good season, but now I feel he's gonna need 2 years to "prove he can lead a team"

his plan was to go back out west. he can still possibly play in the best conference (Big Ten), get paid, and still start.

Watch Lincoln Riley gon sign him and start him

USC, Notre Dame and UCLA

Yup these parents are gonna have their kids assed out...Nico might be the first in a long line of kids that are gonna learn the hard way. What type of power do you have to threaten this shyt after spring games have done started? Straight retarded shyt man....

 

[TV]

People in here saying he sucks is delusional. He just isn't $4 million NIL worthy. I expect him to commit to another school by this time next week.

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

Yea like I thought. Yall are unserious.

Dominate Georgia fans about Beck. Be real

Nussmyer is like 35 and has played 1 season. And since we’re nitpicking TD’s, up until the finale OU game he had 10 td vs 8 picks in SEC play

Sellers and Leavitt are in the same boat, at best, as Nico. Near teenage QBs who showed signs and you assume they ascend. So that’s cool for them, but not for Nico. Not to mention Leavitt plays Planet fitness managers every week

Point being, cut the shyt man. This ain’t the league, so outside of Arch manning—-and even that’s a projection —-you can nitpick and dismiss EVERY QB. So to act like Nico —-and Drew Allar —-is trash but you prop up those other dudes it’s laughable

Nussmeier is the best QB in the country and was better than Burrow and Jayden in their 1st year at LSU y’all will never learn to stop writing off LSU QBs after their 1st year starting dude arm talent is off the charts

Tennessee is a big program. They don't have a 4 or 5 star backup QB?

The do but they will also tamper with another program's QB to jump into the portal. They now have money to spend.
