I aint been keeping up with this Tyler Perry script, but the latest is Lanning caught wind of Nico bailing and heard it was either OSU or USC. So he snitchin snitchin.. which makes sense as to why he's so cordial with Ryan Day. Birds of a feather n shyt. :smh:
Ryan Day brother has the goat pi firm :banderas: . Tick tick tock motherfukkers :oHumad:

No amount of smilies with zero rebuttal can make your point any better.
nikka you already conceded on the actual topic of my posts :mjlol: At me needing to do anything additional for any “point”


Got you in here unironically upping content that directly contradicts what you originally were arguing in your first reply to me….

You've been reduced to babbling about career advice and negotiation strategy for Nico which to be clear no one gives two shyts about.… go wash up big dog its been over :russ:

I haven’t conceded anything. You’re the one struggling to understand that Nico didn’t leave willingly like he has some better option on the table. If that was the case, he would have done that in the December window so he had a full spring with a new team. No starting QB is leaving their current team on their own volition for what is likely a downgrade of a team. You struggle to understand that because you somehow think he’s laughing his way to more money and a better team. You said Tennessee was the one that got dumped as if Nico now has other better options which is far from the case. Not sure how you think otherwise.

I remember when folks arguing that the white boy at UNLV made the right choice.

He ended up at a lower school(James Madison) for less money than he was demanding from UNLV.

Yall gotta understand these kids and they families is gambling when they get too greedy.

You clearly conceded when you said that you no longer care about whether he left on his own or not (which was the entire topic of my post you originally replied to) and then tried to pivot the conversation around some career advice prognostication babble that no one cares about... :russ:

You're now desperately trying to connect things that don't have relevance to that original conversation because you have no retort for the actual reporting on the reality of the situation.. that I posted... like...at all…which is why there's nothing else for me to argue with you about besides telling you to wash up and that makes me laugh as I’ve been laughing at you all weekend now...

YOU telling me about what you think regarding him having no options because its the spring is an opinion which isn't rooted in anything outside of whatever gibberish you've convinced yourself to believe in your brain today…and it also doesn't add much value in the context of the conversation on whether he chose to leave this program or not...like at all... They thought he was bluffing he left the team...simple and plain..if he was that worried about getting in the spring portal you don't walk away from your team prior to the spring game

Ironically tho if that is your argument and QB is too valuable of a position to play around with in the spring portal that same logic would need to be applied to Tennessee, as I said previously … if they truly were ok moving on from him over the money.…why didn't they go get another option in the first portal? Clearly based on their own unpreparedness they never had it in their minds that they were “moving on” as they had no “move on plan” in place until they were told that they had no other choice but to move on once he filed his transfer papers nikka :mjlol:mind you they didn't even know of those papers being filed until he told them on Friday as they couldn't get in contact with him for days prior to that

No nikka, and this is your fundamental problem, you keep babbling things that you THINK are true but have no actual factual roots to support these assumptions… what motivated him to play for Tennessee does not automatically determine what will motivate his next school choice ... He may have relationships with other coaches that he likes...he may want to be closer to home.…he may want to be in a different system for his development…etc etc etc...you getting stuck in brain neutral thinking that he's looking for Tennessee 2.0 is by default clouding your ability to reply coherently...If he valued being at Tennessee that badly he could have very easily accepted what they were offering and stayed a Vol obviously :dead

UNLV is an irrelevant program that just finally got good like yesterday...their whole conference is falling apart and is a G5 just like the sun belt and they don't even have their own stadium.…

The fact that you think him actually getting money at his new school vs being swindled and not getting the money he said he was owed at UNLV kind of sums up the broken logic with a lot of college observers in the modern era.… nikkas stuck in the 90’s thinking these school brands are the same as they were 30-40 years ago :russ:

mind you they didn't even know of those papers being filed until he told them on Friday as they couldn't get in contact with him for days prior to that

1 thing about this. yeah they didnt know he was filing the papers. but they were in contact with him
all the rest of yall discussion its whatever, just wanted to mention the contact thing

Coach Josh Heupel wrapped up a meeting with Tennessee's coaching staff mid-day Friday briefing everybody on the situation. Sources describe Tennessee as surprised that Iamaleava had skipped practice considering he participated in Tennessee's position group dinners Thursday evening and maintained an air of normality at QBs coach Joey Halzle's house even as news of the contract negotiations went public.

Ain't nobody reading a whole essay about you juelzing about the fact that he didn’t leave on his own volition. Which is the whole point. You really think he woke up two days before spring practice was over and said he’s done with Tennessee like he’s jumping to a better options. The rest is just retard babble.

team dinner was thursday, practice was that next day friday.

Alarms went off Friday morning, though, when Iamaleava was not present for the team's pre-practice meeting, which he usually takes in from a seat on the front row.


so yeah they couldnt get in touch with him for 1 day friday
i guess thru out the week he acted normal and finally on friday his camp decided to push the button
