We were probably his best offer. Rivals thought he would be at a G5 school

Now if we could only bring in a guy with a last name of Blow for a WR.​
Kesling, "Hooker drops back, looks down field and finds BLOW for a 57 yard strike." Priest, "Hooker and blow baby"​


Dick would also suffice for a Wideout name

That's an odd transfer to take with HB entering his Sophomore year, and Salter coming in as a Freshman. This looks like a lack of faith (deservedly so) in Weinke having either of them ready, and more opportunity for QB controversy in 2021.

Well, none of the QBs have proven anything yet.. Are you saying that we just need 3 QBs? Right now, I think we just have Bailey, Salter & Mauer. How many of those 3 QBs have proven that they can win? Does Mauer have his emotions ironed out? What if someone gets hurt? How many quality QBs do you think a top 20 D1 program needs in any given year?

This is awesome and all but we got to be asking why he chose to come here.

Does he know things we don't? I mean obviously he would know a lot more than us if UT reached out to him. But what would be the reason him choosing us? Does he know Pruitt is gone or does he know Pruitt is staying here for good and Pruitt has guaranteed him some playing time this season? With all the crap going on including an investigation, how does one choose us right now??
Simple....he knows he’s better than every QB on this roster and can start....regardless of who the HC is. If Bailey’s dad is serious and he is only there for Pruitt...then his odds really go up on starting.

Hooker and Blow is almost as good as "Scott to Trott."

This is an interesting transfer...I work at UVA so I get stuck listening to VT crap all the time. He seems like a decent QB, had a weird health scare late in the season (see article below). Hope we have better options as starter, but seems like a good kid.

'We feel confident he's fully recovered’: Encouraging update from Hendon Hooker’s dad on QB's health scare
Thats why a lot of the Va Tech fans keep saying that they hope it doesn't get cold in Knoxville on comments about the transfer! I guess he fumbled on both of his snaps vs Clemson and one got returned for a td.

Looks like he saw some JG in Bailey when he held the ball too long since folk think chaney is so great. i didnt agree with letting shrout go, but this guy is a major upgrade....plus he can RUN.

I'm not sure why you are so anti Bailey. Hooker is a mid level ACC QB and we were probably his only P5 option besides maybe NC St. He struggled this year and couldn't nail down the starting spot. He had a disastrous game vs Clemson where he fumbled multiple times and blamed the cold.
