Arkansas isn't an upgrade over a UCLA program in the B10.

What’s reality now Skippy. Seems like people in the know were correct

The reality is we don't know what Nico and Madden are getting money wise. We do know they are both at UCLA playing in the best college football conference in the country.

And in related news, UCLA's Joey Aguilar, who transferred to UCLA just a few months ago, is now on his way out. He struck a deal Monday afternoon to sign with Tennessee.

Good for him. No need in staying someplace where you're not wanted.

UCLA is the red headed step child of LA. Everything is usc first in that city. As long as they have a winning record no ones losing any jobs. That’s the standard at ucla. It’s also why they’ll never be great at football.

The players don't care about that shite as long as the money is right and they're prepared for the NFL. UCLA can provide foundation for an NFL career.

Yeah he was a 4 star.

I too believe Lane is trying to recruit Nico. It’s smart of him to do so. Lane can get more than most from his QBs.

I think every high profile transfer QB talks to Kiffin. He’s a great QB coach and he’s positioned his program as one of the best places to be for transfer players.

“I’m not really going to comment much on that. I don’t know all the details,” Kiffin stated . “I think that, you know, that happens a lot, with media, with fans obviously nowadays, with how quickly things are put out, or somebody says something from an unnamed source, and all those things and all these comments are made, in this instance, about a kid, and we don’t even have the facts to know if the stuff and the narrative out there is even true. So I don’t think it’s really fair to take shots at him when all the facts and details of the situation aren’t out there and seem to just be, you know, more in favor of the program side.

“We’re able to have a big voice, as a program, when a kid leaves or something, because we’ve got much more access to the media and controlling the message than the kid does. So, I don’t know the details in that. I think it’s a little bit unfair what’s going on, especially because I hear the other side, that those details that are out there are not accurate.”

Continuing, Kiffin was also asked what Ole Miss would do if a player decided to hold out for more NIL money, like Iamaleava was reported to have done in Knoxville. Still, the coach isn’t so sure that’s exactly what happened, and Kiffin stated his belief that it’s unfair to paint that picture of the now-former SEC quarterback.

“I’m not going to get into that too much, because I think that’s the narrative that’s out there of what happened,” Kiffin added . “I’ll just say I’ve talked to the other side of that, and Nico’s side is a very different story of what happened. So, I don’t think it’s fair to comment on that, or say that that’s exactly what took place.”

I wouldn't be surprised if Nico doesn't sign with UCLA, sits out, and is back in the SEC in 2026.

You do realize the coach you compared him too, was also a first year coach in the same conference, and went 11-2 with a substantially worse team talent composite wise though, right?

Cignetti wasn't a rookie coach. Rather, Cignetti was arguably the most successful Group of 5 coach available when he was hired.

I for one feel pretty comfortable saying Foster is not that guy

He had a top 25 talent composite team last year and missed making a bowl

Rookie coach coaching in the toughest conference in America. I believe he went 5-7. He coached better than expectations.
