I highly doubt Matthews requested papers because he thought Nico might leave. I think he did that for one of two reasons: 1. Not enough playing time. 2. Renegotiating for more money.

I would expect Nico and his family to have more negotiations to get promises of UT being hyper aggressive to get more skill players more than getting a ton more money.
@kidzbop38isstraightfire9223 күн бұрын
Yea I don't think that's the case... I think they're like every other player in this age and all about $$. I think they'd be fine with us going 6-6 every year as long as Nico shined... And honestly, I can't even really blame them for that. Just the way it is now, the idea of a TEAM is done

1) The Nico story wasn't just a fan rumor if it spurred Matthews to the portal. 2) No school wants to shell out big bucks for Nico. They have film saying he's not worth the money.

NIL and transfer portal will destroy college football watch and see folks. Just stand back and watch . The SEC championship game wasn't even full. As for me and my buddies we don't go are watch anymore. We lived fore going to the games home and away, no more

The players now run the team. The coaches arent. The university is held hostage till portle is over. Its all about catering to every player and hard coaching is out the window.

14:20 What about Sham Umarov and Bennett Warren? Sham is gonna be a RS Sophomore and he played some at LG this year and looked good...is he not ready for the starting spot, and if not then why? At what point are we going to have an o-line recruit play their 2nd or even 3rd year? Getting these guys and benching them for 3 years is dumb, just portal them if you're going to do that.

I really hate to be the one to point it out; but as much as Glen Ellarbee has came on these past 2 seasons with recruiting, his development is simply non-existent. We’ve not had a single O lineman who’s been recruited through us & ultimately developed into a starting caliber player. Every single one who’s actually worked out, have all been portal players, or Pruitt holdovers. That’s highly concerning to anybody with the eyes to see.

@kidzbop38isstraightfire9223 күн бұрын
Well Nico was the prime fault of that... He posted all kinds of cryptic stuff, and I have no doubt it was so he could get a few more bucks out of "negotiations" with the team (ie. threatened to leave if he didn't get paid more).
