'25 QB transfer prospects (Joey Aguilar)

[JCVol00]

I cant believe our staff doesn’t see the issue with the wr room, they dont even seem to have an urgency about boosting that spot. We honestly might be screwed this year

 

[jasonvol18]

Some yall have too little faith. Run game will be strong again. Defense will be as well. Just need a game manager in here to win 9 games

Not sure we have anyone close to D.Samp and we are very shorthanded on the DLine and don't trust our secondary at all. Especially if McCoy doesn't return at 100. I could be wrong, but think we need more QB,/ WR production this upcoming season

Agreed. It's so obvious and there doesn't seem to be any urgency at all. Outside of trying to poach Tate, who else did we target?

 

[jasonvol18]

Are they really thinking that this cat might leave Illinois?
It really seems that Luke Altmyer likes it there and the fans like him in return.

The good part is he's still listening and hasn't said no.

Clearly the guys who see practice everyday have no clue what they have.

The QBs we’ve been after have cited the wr’s as problematic. That was also one of Nico’s concerns in the winter, which is one of the contributing factors to him asking for more money

Cited where?

 

[GVol1966]

Cited where?

The internet, so it has to be fact.

 

[jasonvol18]

Cited where?

I've seen Basillio say it. And before we even heard about Hoover, Becht and Altmyer, he said we were targeting 2 Big 12 QB's and another power conference QB. He's not always the best source, but he's been spot on on this one.

Do you watch Nico last year?
Receivers are not the problem.
3 weeks ago CJH said this is a championship roster.
I’m having trouble buying the dumpster fire narrative.

We led the SEC in dropped passes, including Brazzel being near the top. The year before Squirrel led the SEC in dropped passes. That doesn't even include the RB and TE drops. And yeah, Nico was a huge part of the overthrows and not being able to read a Defense for $hit. It was definitely a joint effort from Nico, the pass protection and the WR's. And of course he's gonna say it's a Championship roster.

TB, plus 247 was reporting we offered the tcu qb 1 mil more than what tcu was offering and he turned us down because of the wr’s

This! I knew TB had said it numerous times, I forgot about 247 saying it too

D Samp is a dawg. But our system is very run friendly. Bishop and Lewis will eat. Brazzell should at the very least take a big step in the WR room. We hope Mike does as well obviously. Get creative with how you get Boo the ball. I’m not ready to wave a white flag on our offense by any means. Dline is fine imo. Need to add a body or two. Ricky Gibson is very good. McCoy hopefully heals well. Saftey is slight concern

It's VN. You get it for free.

He would be an idiot to set those expectations, thinking instead that it's questionable at best.

Latest rumor is he turned us down I believe

There's definitely potential. Brazzell could be a beast if he puts effort into his trade. There's been rumors that he doesn't like to work at it and can be lazy at times. Could explain all his drops last season. I like our RB's and think Thomas can be a big surprise in our offense. He's a veteran and put up decent numbers behind a horrible Oline at Duke last year. Hopefully Mathews, Stayley, and the 2 FR can become playmakers for us. I still have concerns with our Secondary, especially if McCoy has to miss some time. We're an injury or 2 away from having a huge issue in the secondary. I'm not ready to call next season a rebuild, we have as easy of a schedule as we could have. With Good QB and WR play, we could be 9-3 or 10-2. Definitely a big if, but not impossible.

That would be my thinking, anybody with any football sense knows this is not a championship roster. And I'm an optimistic, but we've got questions everywhere.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

6-6 is disaster year with manageable schedule. We will know Heupel is not guy if he can’t land a QB for his offense.

Name fits.

 

[1world1love]

TB, plus 247 was reporting we offered the tcu qb 1 mil more than what tcu was offering and he turned us down because of the wr’s

Where does it say he turned us down because of WRs?

 

[jasonvol18]

Wouldn't surprise me. I wouldn't feel confident throwing to the WR's we currently have. I'm guessing Angeli will be next in line if he did say no.

I wasn't agreeing with you.

 

[jasonvol18]

I wasn't agreeing with you.

Good thing is, I didn't ask nor care! And I didn't say you were, you clearly weren't. I'm saying I wouldn't have said it either, but as a HC he probably needs to. Fans are going to have expectations one way or the other no matter what he says
