My Vols got a big commitment today. NIL is paying off.
Watch tape on him brother. I know you already did, but imo very rare, almost terrible. Has the size, but damn he looks to be playing vs middle school team. Tennessee has a LONG WAY TO GO. Almost like UNC in football, high expectations and always belly up.

Nico will be at Long Beach Poly playing this year. Rumor is he is the QB that signed a $8 million NIL deal.

Oh I know he's got another year. 8 mil geez. Some greats never made that in a career when I was playing. What is the world has he done to get that kinda bread? He's not even top 3 QB in his class?? This NIL **** is outta control

I think they have said Arch Manning might get over 10 million for his NIL.

Lol that was my next question. Manning doesn't need the cash so hope he doesn't base his decision off a NIL deal. I've got him going to Alabama. What are your thoughts

He base his decision on that but that might be his value. I could see Georgia.

That would surprise a lot of folks. I'd love to see that, I hate Alabama, as most do. Just thought his family want him to to Nick and co. We shall see. Didn't even know GA was on the running

It doesn’t matter what you do early in the year. Just make the tournament and you never know what might happen.
Definitely right about that baby. This team looked dead in the water one month ago. HD has these boys believing. I think they will cut down the nets Mon night

Iron 4 returning to UNC. Preseason top 3. Can't wait to see UNC next year. Coach HD doing amazing job at the hill. I've had pleasure meeting him twice and eating dinner with him years ago, class act to say the least.

Least surprising news ever -- thought he would've done it a lot sooner. He was looking at 5th string, 4th string at best after UNC landed two top 10 RB's in the class of 2022. Hoping he lands somewhere and gets to play to show off his talent.
Yes wondered why they went after so many backs. Crazy former walk on will start at RB. Hearing he will end up at ECU, hopefully he can get on the field. The kid is a monster

Who is British Brooks? Not familiar with him. Also is Hood in the Mix?

Yea brooks former walk on. Pettaway I believe will be the man by the second half of the season. Hood is in the mix, just don't think he's got that break away speed. Green will take snaps as well at RB. Hampton once he gets on campus will make some noise as well. Should be stacked at RB. Hope they go with Maye at QB and we should be stacked on Defense

I was really surprised to see Tennessee offered the kid at Watauga Isaiah Shirley. Rodney Garner stopped by to visit and offered. It will be interesting to see if Garner can get Rico Walker. Garner recruited Rico dad back in the day.

Walker 100% UNC? Tennessee isn't in the picture??

Oh okay. On 247 all predictions are 100% UNC
It’s one prediction so it’s easy to be 100%.

Per Don Callahan


“You won't find anyone close to this recruitment who has ever believed UNC had Rico Walker "in the bag." This has always been a battle.

When putting the Mock Class together, Rico Walker was "first out" -- if there is such a thing. UNC is definitely in this and could very well score his commitment. But, I worry about the SEC pull from Tennessee (where his dad's former coach, Rodney Garner, is his coach), Florida, and Georgia. And, believe it or not, watch out for Michigan State, who seemingly has a surprising buzz.”

The best part of NIL. Saban knows it’s going to cost more than a Charger or Challenger to get a high school player now.

Both these guys are clowns. Both been buying players for years. Now the NIL stuff is making it the wild west again.

What the heck did we expect? College athletics and professional sports only differ in that one pretends to be amateur. I (along with many others) predicted this in 2013. It’s just taken longer than I thought. Me, me, me. Sports mirrors society.

This is really awesome though especially since Jimbo worked for Saban at LSU.

Jimbo press conference this morning


Don’t think they will be exchanging Christmas cards or Birthday wishes anytime soon. Without knowing any insider info other than what was on social media, that was an outstanding Only way he could have improved was to physically picked up the mic and dropped it as he walked off.

Go Mountaineers
