The situation has become a growing source of frustration among administrators at Tennessee and within the locker room, sources said. ......sources told ESPN that Tennessee "wasn't going to blink and pay him any more money."

Post by: droner on April 11, 2025, 10:25:38 EDT Lots of "I hear" going on but with that in mind, Basilio says that he has heard that Nico wants his money, however much that is, paid in a lump sum before July 1 when the revenue sharing goes into effect. Apparently, Nico has been receiving payments.

I can't vouch for his accuracy, but he is saying the Nico's family or "representatives" have been shopping him to schools on the west coast for weeks. And one of those schools spilled the beans.
If this is true: Sayanora. Title: Re: Apparently, battle lines have been drawn in the Nico deal...... Post by: PirateVOL on April 12, 2025, 12:52:01 EDT Does anyone else listen to Basilio?

If this is true: Sayanora. I do almost daily. He's not always right, but he's right more often than not. Title: Re: Apparently, battle lines have been drawn in the Nico deal......

I have two thoughts. 1) If Merklinger can't beat out a guy from the portal he's pretty lousy. 2) Nico was gone somewhere after this season. Unless he was going to make huge strides, another option may be almost as good. Title: Re: Apparently, battle lines have been drawn in the Nico deal......
