Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Butch Jones]

Heupel has earned every penny he has made. This isn’t some make or break season.

He’s getting $9M because of a QB the guy before him recruited

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Not a good game at all, but not a fair comparison either. His guys had no separation and Clemson was sitting. He almost had 3 more INT's tho.

So?

He made the playoffs last year, big dog.

Irrelevant. His win record speaks for itself. He is getting paid because he beat Saban, beat LSU at home and went to the playoffs. Who his QB is/was makes no difference.

What's the most important thing here?

Klubnik's jersey is not green like it was after he got stomped into the grass all night by us.

@Volunteer821
Have you all ever seen the movie "Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat"? It looks like it may be a classic. Bruce Campbell is in it.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Has anyone ever had a team of nothing but 5*s? CKC may do it before 2030.

I like Joey Aguiler more than Nico…lets ride!

He’s got that chip on his shoulder. Learn the system & be the hardest worker and you’ll be a legend.

I totally agree.

Just wish that he could have arrived in Dec.

But get in the facility and get to work and win the job in summer.

I think the moxy and style is what Heupel loves.

He throws really pretty catchable ball.

Agree - whiff we should have done something in December.

I don't think it's a whiff, and they couldn't have done something in December unless they were committed to git-shirting Nico. They weren't doing that. In the least that's horrid optics whereas this has been great optics.

The way this was handled tells me they're reasonably confident in Merk and Mac. They kicked the tires on D1 studs but didn't feel like they NEEDED to overpay. Eventually none of those guys was willing to come for the right price, so they got insurance.

Aguilar will probably start the season off experience and consistency through fall practice, but will probably get replaced at some point with one of the more talented freshmen - unless he balls out. Either way that's a good outcome.

 

[BearCat204]

Not sure about this new QB, but I am sure about CJH. Let’s roll

 

[knoxvol52]

He had better be good for $1.2m.

TWSS!!!

2 Weeks before the season the dad can say we need 3 million more or both of my sons aren't playing this year.

Yep. Or mid-season before a big game. Before bowl eligibility. They can extort tf out of them.

 

[jave36]

So we have 1.2 mil to play with

Man I sure hope we plan to start him for that kind of money. Could get some other really good pieces for a million.

If anyone wants to see it, this is a Big 10 show going off on Nico and laughing at the idea that UCLA is going to prepare Nico for the NFL better than Heupel’s offense. From 1:30 - 10:00 minutes. Someone was talking about this latest lie from Fat Nic and crazy Landers.

Love it. Every backup should walk out. Madden hasn’t played football since his junior year in high school. Put him in if they need a substitute.

Especially if their other QBs run for the exits. Let it be so.

I think they have a slew of QBs on their roster, though.
I doubt they'll miss one freshman QB much. But it wouldn't surprise me to see one or two more bolt before the portal closes.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Just remember, in either of Aguiler’s seasons as a starter he has more passing yards & TDs than Nico in his entire UT career.

 

[85SugarVol]

Really wish his name was Aguilera so we could post pics and jokes with Christina all year.

Who says we still can’t

UCLA has put themselves in a very difficult spot. Nick has them by the balls, Nico's camp had next to zero leverage and somehow UCLA let them leverage that into Nick having complete control of the QB room.
