The wait for where former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava plays next in his collegiate career continued Wednesday as the spring transfer portal opened.

UCLA is among the schools interested in Iamaleava, but not for nearly the money he was asking for from Tennessee, sources told ESPN. One source said UCLA is content to \"sit tight\" while Iamaleava considers his options.

\"We\'ll see if it gets worked out. He\'s extremely talented with starting experience against elite competition. That\'s sort of where we are right now,\" the UCLA source told ESPN.

Going to be a lot to digest if Iamaleava has to take less money. 2M was nothing to sneeze at, at an SEC school, where you were the unquestioned starter and you made the playoffs last year.

Not saying he shouldn't have asked for a raise, either.
