Watch his highlights (or lowlights) against Clemson defense.

I'm an optimistic 50/50 Hoss

He’s had good games and bad games. He isn’t my first choice but he’s now going to be wearing my favorite color of orange so I’m going to give him my full support

 

[Deebowbear]

Would be hilarious if we get him and he tears it up. I know, wishful thinking.

24 interceptions in 2 seasons? That’s probably more than we’ve thrown total under Heupel

If we going that route something to go to plan. Maybe in trouble if that’s going to be the chosen one

Honestly, that’s me.

I don’t think this is a great signing. But it’s probaly the best we were gonna get. The Altmyer talk was complete BS and I don’t understand how so many people fell for it.

But I think Aguilar has the potential to be a good to great QB here. Heup turned Hooker from a mediocre starter at VTech to one of the best QBs in school history. I think it’s absolutely possible he does the same with Joey too. Screw it man, let’s ball and see what happens.

Watch his highlights (or lowlights) against Clemson's defense.

Idk man. I could see it if he was a little more patient sometimes but also, hesitation can be a killer. It's hard to tell what kind of player he would be against SEC defenses after watching.

He’s going to have SEC athletes on his side, so it’ll be upgraded.

I agree to some extent. Some of those throws/decisions had nothing to do with anything but him though. He's not afraid to throw it and he tends to anticipates a lot throws before it's even there. It could be good thing for our offense and exciting.

I'm optimistic. I just hope CJH didn't promise him the keys this season and we play the best QB.

I'm really high on George Mafintyre. Nothing against Merklinger but I think this is going to be a battle against GM and Faizon Brandon in the future.

All you need to see. Clemson was a similar team to us last year: pretty good but missing pieces, and ended up getting bounced in the first round of the CFP. If we want to be a championship level team, we cannot trust Aguilar. Highly question the staff for even considering this.

Hell, did UCLA watch any video of Nico in first half vs Ark, Fla, Ala or Ky?

I love George but he needs to gain at least 25 more pounds to survive a SEC season.

They gonna wish they did

True. If he does get any real PT, it's a good thing that he's tall. Hopefully he can see it all coming before he gets hit.

 

[Orange-U-Glad]

Would like to have had Angeli. On the other hand, this gives Merk and Mad a chance to grow into the position. Maybe neither will leave.

I look at him the same as Lock had at Missouri under Heupel. Passer, runner and create.

I have faith in Heupel preparing him to be ready.

 

[TheDirector]

I just hope he can play fast and run the Hendon Hooker offense instead of the Milton/Nico slowed down version.

I saw a lot of drops and a lot of clemson players popping the receivers comically early.

I think he is not the most accurate passer, but I don't really see how he is any worse than Nico was last year. Maybe doesn't have the same arm talent, but he made some nice throws in the clemson game.

 

[tlowe]

This would be creating a real competition for the younger guys to grow faster.

Not the worst plan, but we will feel some pain if he becomes the starter.

ESPN is reporting according local news that we got Joey.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Hell I'm all for it. This upcoming season could very well end up becoming a Hollywood film 10 years from now

Oh, you just tee'd it up for our more creative posters!

 

[KTrain]

If Aguilar does come here and just balls out it would be the kind of story you usually only see in movies.

Genuinely hope he does just that

Yep, the UCLA Tennessee flip flop makes it a must see. Wouldn't have as much gravitas if it was UT & App State

Hooker was interception prone but COACH worked with him and he showed exceptional improvement.

 

[Sara Clark]

Yup Huep knows how to make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t. Hooker was riding the bench at VT and barring injury he would have been a first round pick. Milton just got traded to Dallas for a 3rd round pick. Huep is a modern day Cutcliffe

Not sure I should have like your post, but you're right. Agree 100%! I've yet to see anything that would indicate he's a great QB coach. He sure didn't have an eye for Hooker, until injury took him off the bench and in the game. That's always bothered the hell out of me!

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

Baker Mayfield beat us in Knoxville he was a walk on.

Mike drop.

 

[KTrain]

Joey Aguilar 6' 3" has a lot of experience he has the same extra year because of his Diabolo Valley JUCO same as Diego Pavia got extra year because the JUCO rule. Experience means a lot both Gmac & Merk hopefully have a higher ceiling.

I think he just fell in love with Joes arm. Hell we all did. Hooker just had it more between the ears. Joe is a physical freak.

Brent Farve says hello. This is coachable and a new system with a brain he will be fine if he has the arm talent. He is a one year guy and there will be a three horse race so that will push them all.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Look, Im not psyched, but it’s a bad situation all around and he has a chance to really do something. We didn’t get a kid that left his school hanging, so I guess there’s something there with that. We got all those. Could be a very pleasant surprise in a few months. Hoping for the best. Let’s ride.
