Tennessee: Nico Iamaleava was the first recruit to sign a mega NIL deal as a recruit, and now he's the first to publicly threaten to hit the portal if his school doesn't give him a raise.

On3 reported Thursday that Tennessee and Nico Iamaleava are in "active negotiations" to the quarterback a new contract ahead of the spring transfer portal window opening next Wednesday, April 16. The article includes plenty of soft language -- it opens by saying it's a move "many around the program expected" and that Iamaleava "is happy at Tennessee and has a strong relationship with coach Josh Heupel." The implication is so clear that it doesn't need to be said, but On3 notes that "it remains unclear if those negotiations will impact" Iamaleava's decision to enter the portal next week.
A 5-star recruit out of Long Beach, Iamaleava was the first recruit believed to have signed a mega-NIL deal before enrolling in school. In March 2022, The Athletic reported a recruit, later revealed to be Iamaleava, signed an $8 million NIL deal that paid him $350,000 "almost immediately," and in then in monthly installments totaling in the neighborhood of $2 million a year for his first three years on campus. Iamaleava is now entering the final year of that contract, but the market for top-level college quarterbacks has now surpassed that deal. Carson Beck (Georgia to Miami) and Darian Mensah (Tulane to Duke) both got $3 million to transfer, and Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 recruit in the 2025 class, got the same amount to sign with Michigan, On3 reports.

I hate this:

In spite of the fact that it ended with the biggest upset of the tournament, 285 was the most chalk weight.

The sum of absolute deviations from seed was 77, just ahead of 125 at 81.5.

This also made the heavies the second most chalk weight since the 33 seed era began. Only 165 in 2019 was more chalk.







At the other end of the spectrum 141 was the most busted bracket this year (but only sixth most in the 33 seed era).

A lot of the "bust" came from five of nine guys seeded to go 0-2 finishing with win(s), and three higher seeded wrestlers doing the opposite.

Don't give up on this team. If it doesnt happen this year, and we can keep this team together, I am convinced that we are building something special. It always starts with pitching and we are very young. If you look at the series losses, we've had one game that could have gone either way.

I didn't see the Monmouth game and realize that was disappointing, but I have watched every other game. We need to add some more hitting, but we are alot closer than many think. Hoping we can finish strong.

So, over the years I have got my balls broken over me saying Cooperman was leaving...he left.Then I said Campolattano was coming here and got laughed at
...I was right.The I predicted my shitliner Suriano was leaving Penn State and coming to Rutgers,got hammered for that...he came here. Just got off the phone with my insider info buddy.Apparently one of Slingblade Sandersons top dogs on the team is jumping ship and coming here.I also heard that a top dawg at head bigger than torso Brands Iowa shithole is done there and coming here.These guys are the top of the heap ladies and gentlemen and you are gonna shit a sextuplet size bomb in your pants when they come here. Just sit tight.

Goodbye Nebraska

Late last night I read on facebook or was it here that we might be trying to add a player in the portal who played in the Big Ten. I cannot find it now. Has anyone else read this and who were the possible players who it was thought we might be pursuing? Thank you in advance.
