As a PWO does he even have to enter the transfer portal? can't he just enroll/unenroll like a normal student since he's not on scholarship? Reid Watkins transfer portal I think it's an advertising play - letting everyone know he's available for a scholarship offer
April 17Apr 17 22 hours ago, Jimmy Two Times said: Not Texas, but interesting transfer news. Iamaleava to UCLA. Reveal hidden contents Former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava is expected to transfer to UCLA, a source briefed on the process said. Iamaleava officially entered the transfer portal Wednesday with a “do not contact” label. He left Tennessee last week after attempts to rework his contract with a Tennessee name, image and likeness (NIL) collective went publi He initially committed to Tennessee in March 2022, shortly after signing an NIL deal with Spyre Sports, Tennessee’s collective, that paid him more than $8 million over four years. Entering the final year of that contract, Iamaleava’s representatives were seeking a raise to around $4 million ahead of the 2025 season, a person briefed on the matter said. The Iamaleavas also sought assurances that Tennessee would improve its offensive line and receiving corps this offseason. Tennessee was unwilling to meet the financial demands dating back to the 30-day winter portal window in December. On Friday, a day before Tennessee’s spring game, Iamaleava was absent from practice. Catch Up On The Story Inside 72 hours at Tennessee: How did it fall apart for Nico Iamaleava and the Volunteers? After three days of drama and spring ball at Tennessee, head coach Josh Heupel reiterated: "No one's bigger than the Power T." Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said Saturday he elected to move on without Iamaleava when he hadn’t received any correspondence from Iamaleava or his representatives by the end of practice. “No one is bigger than the Power T,” Heupel said. “Including me.” Iamaleava quarterbacked Tennessee to a 10-3 record and a College Football Playoff appearance as a first-year starter last season. He threw for 2,616 yards and 19 touchdowns with five interceptions in 2024, his second season in Knoxville. Just six of those touchdown passes came in six games against SEC teams that qualified for bowls. His decision to transfer came at an unusual time. The majority of players who enter the transfer portal during the 10-day spring window that opened Wednesday do so after seeing a narrow path to playing time in the fall. Iamaleava, who was the established starter at Tennessee, will almost certainly head to UCLA with the intention of starting. Heupel said Tennessee, which has just two scholarship quarterbacks remaining on the roster, will be taking an additional quarterback out of the transfer portal this offseason. Graduate transfers can enter the portal at any time and non-graduates in the portal can commit at any time, but they must enter the portal by the time the window closes on April 25. Iamaleava was one of the best prospects to enter the portal in the spring window, but the Volunteers’ open spot and ability to pay near the top of the market could entice some quarterbacks who had no intention of entering the portal a week ago to do so. Meanwhile, Iamaleava, a native of Long Beach, Calif., is now expected to head closer to home as a key building block for second-year coach Deshaun Foster, who took over at UCLA last offseason after coach Chip Kelly left to become Ohio State’s offensive coordinator. The Bruins went 5-7 but closed with four wins in their final six games. The Bruins added Appalachian State transfer quarterback Joey Aguilar this offseason to an offense that ranked 95th in yards per play. Foster hired first-time play caller Tino Sunseri as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in January. He replaced former Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Football Team offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who Foster fired at the end of his first season in Westwood. Sunseri worked as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Indiana last year, helping Kurtis Rourke lead the Hoosiers to the College Football Playoff. This is a developing story. More to come. With a last name like that, I wouldn't expect him to stay put at any school for very long
April 17Apr 17 53 minutes ago, Gut Wagon said: I haven't kept with UCLA football, but how on earth do they find themselves in dire need of an inaccurate head case at QB? 1. Chip Kelly literally stopped recruiting years before he left. 2. UCLA does not have competitive NIL funds, lost its starting QB to graduation and backup to Maryland, was going into this season looking to start an inaccurate former App State QB. 3. DeShaun Foster looks to be on a fast track to a short tenure, if the UCLA admin cares enough to fire him in a few years, and he needs talent. The roster is very very poor.

April 17Apr 17 UCLA is also like Miami in that its a great city with lots to do. If a team is winning then they can sell tickets to casuals. But the Rose Bowl is 45 minutes away from UCLA campus, more like an hour 15 on Saturdays. So it doesnt lend itself to a culture of student attendance and school spirit, which is what keeps college football programs sustainable

If he can get playing time at a smaller program with a respected academic/grad reputation he'll be in great shape. Maybe Cal? I hear they're looking for a RB. Jk

You'll find plenty of baseball and basketball fans, but football, pro and college, is a big fat "meh." It's even worse in the high school ranks, schools are having problems even fielding a team. My son's former school, 2000 students strong, has entire years where literally zero players come in from middle school. Other high schools just plain shut down their teams, which is how his school was still able to field one -- through transfers.

I have lived in LA county for 10-ish of the last 27 years and there is practically zero chance that I would have wanted to play football if I had grown up there. Surfing & soccer would have been my sports with a small chance of tennis.

The local junior high has no organized teams. You’re not gonna see entire towns shutting down and caravaning to another small town for Friday night lights. Too many transplants way too much to do

People like USC and Oregon football on TV and care about Cal - Stanford but in high school the Drake - Redwood water polo game under the lights was a bigger deal than most of the football games. Suburban Californians don't want their kids getting CTE.

Yeah, people up there DO actually care about football. 49ers, Raiders, The Game, etc. It's not like Texas at all (who is?), but not near the levels of apathy down south here.
