'25 QB transfer prospects (Joey Aguilar)

[VOLumeS]

Just heard on the finebaum show, that Heupel likes what he sees on film in regards to Aguilar. So he's probably our guy unless he turns us down.

It’s a beautiful car. I think because I grew up in Germany, I have a soft spot for Porsche. May grab an Austin Martin though soon.

You say that casually, like I would just say “I may grab a hotdog for lunch...”

Bunch of five yard passes. Anything beyond that is a 50/50 ball at best. Garauntano-esque. Maybe it’s just the offense. I won’t be excited if it’s him.

Hes had much better games

Was also on a team that was completely overmatched that day.

With Aguilar, the coaches will have their work cut out for them, maybe they can pull it off

In his defense, this was the worst example one could possibly use for his play. Clemson was all over the backfield against App State and took over almost immediately. Some people are convinced Clemson is a G5 program now and thus App State should be embarrassed to be beaten by them, but it’s not true at all.

Aguilar has had much better games than that, including a game against UNC in 2023 where he looked amazing. Very cherry-picked decision to pick his Clemson highlights

Do you really think Coach Heupel is going to state that in a forum where that could be linked to him? The very last thing Tennessee wants to do is be accused of improper contact or tampering

 

[UTK]

Sounds like Joey to me. Think Luke was the closest “big name” but fell through last minute. No ones gonna do backflips but hey let’s roll with it. I’ll support whoever day 1 starter is. Gonna be an interesting Fall Camp.

 

[CobbWebb71]

Hooker had a 155 qbr and 5.2 ypc his last year at VT

The year before he ran for less but had a 166 qbr haha.

STUD.

That said, he was generational. The greatest UT qb all-time and it isn't close.

Devo, you know you’re my boy, right?

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Doubt we are going to throw a lot of money at him, being he only has 1 year left.

Not even worth 250k. That could be the difference in the Syracuse DT or not.

Guess i should add that it was Brad Crawford who said it, from 247 sports.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

You can’t have only 2 QB’s. You know that. Can’t get reps in for other players.

I’d rather roll with two and walk ons than waste money on this kid. Beef up the defense and hold teams to 13.

 

[VolsFan5]

Our head coach does his best coaching of the offense with lesser talented QBs. It's all about making quick decisions. If a QB can process information quickly, he has a chance to be serviceable in this offense

 

[HeuperDrive]

I’d rather roll with two and walk ins than waste money on this kid. Beef up the defense and hold teams to 13.

well, thank god you’re not the coach, then

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I dont know what i think ab Aguilar but cmon man having two scholly QBs going into a season is absolutely not ok. Every coach in America would tell you thats worst case scenario.


What a bad take

 

[Orange_Crush]

I kind of want Aguilar. Let's get him in here, get him better stats than Nico and into the playoffs as UCLA misses a bowl game. That'd be epic.

 

[Nico ee-ah-MAH-LAY-ah-va]

Just heard on the finebaum show, that Heupel likes what he sees on film in regards to Aguilar. So he's probably our guy unless he turns us down.

Finebaum is not a reliable source.

With that being said, did coach forget to take his sunglasses off during the film session?

You are cherry picking one good game against UNC? The famous football powerhouse of North Carolina?

Yeah, i don’t think the people who are so against the idea of getting a third QB understand how quickly this could become a disaster.

Let’s say Merk gets hurt week 1. Tears his ACL. G-Mac comes in and is clearly unready and needs time in the oven. Or, he gets hurt too, and we have to roll out a walk on at QB.

We’d really wish we spent some cash on a guy like Aguilar then.

 

[HeuperDrive]

I’m not the one who purposefully picked biased highlights to make a QB look bad.

Sit down lmao

 

[SKV84]

If it is Aguilar....then he is gonna play with a hell of a chip on his shoulder. Going to the school where the guy that took his job came from.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Not even worth 250k. That could be the difference in the Syracuse DT or not.

Eh, you gotta bring in a third guy. I don't think either of 2 we have on roster are ready.

What a bad take

I guess no one has considered that one QB may leave if we bring someone in?

Nico screwed us. But if you bring someone in it has to be someone you want to start. Which is exactly what the two QBs will view it as.

What if it costs us Merk? You’re down to two QBs anyways and lost potentially a better QB.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

I’ll support whoever is wearing orange and I legitimately hope that I’m wrong and Aguilar is an amazing QB

But he’s not a great get. But with the situation Nico got us in, I don’t think we can get a good one.

 

[VOLociraptorr]

Let's get in Aguilar for third of the cost of Nico, Have him model what a good quarterback looks like to those younger than him (such as going to practices), win a whole bunch of games, and hate watch the out of UCLA

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Why wouldn't a bad year make a kid who can choose to go anywhere rethink his decision?

Whether he takes over for Nico or another QB, and the rest of the squad and staff are static, then the rest of the original decision calc is in tact. Still a relationship centric process for most guys.
