'25 QB transfer prospects (Joey Aguilar)

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Because there's never dumb takes from any of the RF posters

There's plenty of bad takes from RF regulars, but this place becomes a landfill of dumb overreactions when FF regulars show up en masse.

I don’t disagree with your logic. The type of people that have the drive to be large boosters though, have huge egos, and long memories. Ask auburn though what happens when you lose your boosters backing as a coach. Or Kentucky when you don’t have any. I hope it works out, and I will be rooting for the kid.

Definitely both sides to the equation for sure. Have to be able to draw a fine line

Appreciate the perspective you bring to the board!

He’s actually a really good guy off the field. Has good poise on the field and doesn’t seem to get rattled.

It’s all but done but they’re still playing cat and mouse with NIL. Everyone knows Vols were offering Nico level money to some of the sitting QB targets so now it gives Joey leverage. They’re at around $1 mill for him at the moment.

And as an App grad and follower I can tell you he is not terrible as some have stated. He had a lame duck coach and no supporting cast last season.

Nah man, haven't you heard? The season has already been decided! I see he's made throws that Nico never did. I think he has big play ability if receivers are still being schemed wide ass open like always.

Glad it's over. This guy has at least proven he can consistently hit deep throws. He'll be super motivated to prove something as will Merk and G-Mac. We're going from a guy mostly motivated by money to guys who are motivated to win and prove everyone wrong. I'm good with that.

Hopefully now we'll see all the FF posters leave...they're bringing down the RF's property values.

Yeah, get the riff raff OFF OUR LAWNS

I pray it is HEAVILY incentive laden deal.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Nico goes to UCLA forces out Aguilar. Madden goes to be with big brother.

Dad gets the whole family back together.

UCLA tampering Master class .

P.S. It could happen.

APP ST vs Clemson highlites not too impressive

 

[rekinhavoc]

Someone photoshop that ugly azz powder blue off our QB .

 

[NoogaVol96]

As soon as boosters are disgruntled, you’re a dead man walking.

I hope Heupel has a successful season, but this feels like a turning point for him here.

lol no it doesn’t.

 

[Mrpeabody8888]

Now if CJH can pull off a 10 win season with all of this, he will be bulletproof for another 5 years. It’s a high risk high reward game though right now.

 

[NoogaVol96]

Also for people that need to hear this…

Joey put up those stats while playing at App stat. The SEC is not in the same stratosphere as that competition. It’s wishful thinking that he’s going to come in here and learn the offense and produce at a high level.

I could be wrong, but I’m not going to sunshine pump a move that not a single person on this board would have done in December or even 2 weeks ago.

Tennessee roster > App State/UCLA roster

Lol

 

[RAVOL]

This QB flashes great things on film and bad things on film. Like most QB's do. I'm not sure how this plays out but the competition for the starter is on. We were given 91/2 Win total by Vegas before Nico left and right after 8 1/2 so everyone on this site who gambles and said we are doomed should bet the under and your house. I believe in this very young but talented team and still believe we can go 9-3. Yes with Nico I was expecting 10-2 and playoff spot and just maybe we do. Coach Heup and staff has done amazing job here in 4 years best since Fulmer and even better than hall of famer Johnny Majors. In CHRIST Alone

We don’t know that boosters are disgruntled. Only one person is suggesting that and he’s been wrong about basically everything else during this QB search.

Diego Pavia translated pretty well.

Yeah because the App State vs No. 25 Clemson game provides a fair assessment.

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

i'm stopping short of turning point. he did just make the playoffs.

That will quickly be forgotten if he throws up at 6-6, 7-5.

I think 8-4 with a top 10 recruiting class buys him some time. Needs to be more active in the portal. That’s non-negotiable going forward.

 

[Captain Mitch]

What happened to Lowe’s “watch for Altmyer” right before we heard the news about Aguilar?

 

[Rockytopoftheworld]

Genuinely curious, what other option did Heupel have? Going after the entire Big 12’s starting QB approach did not work. None of those guys wanted to “Nico” their own team in the spring.

It’s not like this was Heupels choice. He’s attempting to make lemonade with lemons here. How can boosters throw a fit and throw Heupel under the bus for this?

The only other option would be to roll with Merk and Mac which seemed like a bad idea

 

[MrVolton]

Genuine question - are WR going to want to come here?

Stop promoting GA’s and get a position coach with a track record of putting guys in the league, and they will come.

Dude, just a biit early here.

If the fanbase turns on him after going 7-5 when his starting QB left him in April…

We don’t deserve nice things

 

[Carp]

Not that it means anything here, but for those keeping score, recently more starting QBs have transferred INTO the SEC and found success than have SEC QBs transferred OUT of the SEC and found success.
