He just happened to be upset about the offense the day before the spring game.
Give him a mill more and his concerns on the offense would disappear.

Volnation forum is saying Lanning reached out to Heuple (?) to tell Tennessee that Nico's camp was shopping him around. I think before the holdout and some are surmising this warning caused Nico's camp to pivot from their original plan. So Oregon is out a well.

Just want to go on record I’m a hard no on this. If for no reason other than he had the cards when the portal was open a few months ago. Now teams have fully gone through spring practice and got their transfers in already so it’s just a dumb move by him. For the fact that he’s an idiot, I want no part of this.

What happened to my ¤cash?
So, what I take from that is Lanning is good with who he has in his QB room this year. LOL.

He's gonna end up at some low-mid level P4 school, I don't think any major players are going to take a risk on a kid who pulls a stunt like this. He hasn't show he's nearly good enough.

You don’t need to put tomatoes in your gumbo to know he sucks.Why the Ohio State football team should stay far away from Nico Iamaleava
Why the Ohio State football team should stay far away from Nico Iamaleava
With Tennessee moving on from him, the Buckeyes should not pursue him in the transfer portal.scarletandgame.com

The Ohio State football team is in a quarterback battle right now with Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz. It's a battle that seems to be neck-and-neck, according to what Ryan Day has said. No decision will likely be made until the start of Fall practice.
Ohio State feels really good about the options they have at quarterback they feel that either of them is good enough to lead this team as they try to defend a national championship. Both have shown enough talent that the Buckeye coaching staff feels comfortable naming either player a starter.
Nico Iamaleava is a talented quarterback who played for Tennessee last year. I say last year because the Vols have decided to move on from him after he tried to extract more NIL money from the Vols. Many have speculated that the Buckeyes should go after him in the transfer portal.
Why the Ohio State football team should not pursue Nico Iamaleava
Even though Iamaleava is very talented, this is one player the Buckeyes should not pursue in the transfer portal. He clearly became enough of a distraction from this move that the Vols did not want to have him on their team. He clearly isn't good enough to warrant whatever price he is trying to get.
In his final game with the Vols, he was just 14-31 for 104 yards against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Is that a stat line good enough to warrant a raise in NIL money? Definitely not. Ohio State already has two more talented quarterbacks on their current roster anyway.
Iamaleava is not worth the headache to pursue in the portal. Ryan Day has built a strong culture within the team that is focused on winning. Everyone is getting their fair share of NIL money, too. They feel both Sayin and Tavien St. Clair have more talent than Iamaleava.

Just sayin':
1) Yeah, definitely Ohio State should pass on him.
2) "Per sources: Nico Iamaleava has been in contact with 3 schools that have agreed to construct a deal if he left Tennessee." Colorado/Prime Time seems like a good fit for Nico. I wonder if "the sources" are basically his agent who actually called Ohio State, not Ohio State calling him. The agent may be just trying to drive up Colorado's offer by making them think there are other schools in the bidding for Nico.
As someone said in a post earlier, if tOSU pursues him it’s not a good sign about the qb room
