The spring transfer portal has been open a day, and quarterback Nico Iamaleava remains the biggest conversation. He’s reportedly in talks with UCLA, but it doesn’t seem like the deal is done yet. Meanwhile, UCLA QB — and former Appalachian State QB — Joey Aguilar is waiting to find out what happens with Nico.

Pete Nakos of On3 joins Andy and Ari to break down that story as well as several other intriguing players hitting the portal.

North Carolina lost edge rusher Beau Atkinson, who was the Tar Heels’ most productive returning player.

Wisconsin lost tight end Tanner Koziol, who had transferred earlier this offseason from Ball State.

Boise State lost linebacker Andrew Simpson

Syracuse lost leading returning receiver Trebor Pena.

Syracuse coach Fran Brown broke down what happened with Pena on the Cuse Sports Talk show, leading to a hilarious rant about NIL deals.
