'25 QB transfer prospects (Joey Aguilar)

[Blake25p]

I’d be pretty happy with Becht. Kid’s a gamer.

My only question is he won’t have two NFL WR’s to throw to like he did at ISU. Can he elevate the players around him?

Your question reads more like a statement

I edited it once I realized I never actually asked a question lol

Watching his highlights, I didn't see too many throws that had me thinking his WR really bailed him out there. Most big plays I would expect our WR's to make.

He had two NFL wr’s last year yes, but one of the worst offensive lines in college football and Higgins doesn’t get very good seperation either. He had a lot of very accurate throws on the run or under pressure. I think he will make the transition just fine.

Did everyone view those guys as NFL WRs before last season? We've got several guys at WR with good NFL potential that could be seen as NFL locks after next season. We also had WRs running wide open all last season that Nico either didn't see or just couldn't hit them. It's entirely possible that our issues at WR had more to do with the QB.

How many QB’s does one need to effectively practice?

3-4 is standard for most college programs.

 

[JacketVol]

Agreed.

Good to see you sir.

I think it would be of poor character for TN to turnaround and take another teams QB1 who would only be leaving their current team for a payday. Let's roll with the guys on the roster. Take a back up in the portal.

I hope we get him, but if we're looking at negatives, I do wonder how his relatively weak arm will look in this league. There's a lot of soft lobs in his highlights that probably would have been picks against good teams.

 

[T2P_Priceless]

Some nice highlights but that first throw was terrible...right into double coverage. Definitely got bailed out by the receiver there. Also, don't see many good teams he played in these

 

[De La Cloobs]

Definitely has that moxy to him that makes a player easy to root for. That’s for sure

A Moxy gunslinger is what I want. I thought Nico would have been better this year, but he played timid honestly. Ohio State is the only game he showed heart.

That running out of bounds against Arky still haunts me. That's when I knew Nico did not truly have it.

Or maybe he checks it down if his WR is covered more closely.

I disagree. It could be exposure, updated roster, enhanced competition. You got one year left to play. If you're betting on yourself then you want to show the nfl what you've got against the highest competition. Like it or not the Big 12 is not the SEC.

Heupel isn't paid to be nice...he's paid to win and a high level QB in the portal vs what we have is the difference between 9-3/10-2 and 6-6/7-5

Not sure Becht or Luke are worth what we were paying Nico but we could do worse.

Totally agree. Sorry SEC is big boy football and lots of money at stake. Throwing our kids to wolves is bad idea. We will go find our starter and should do that.

Beggars can’t be choosers in the spring portal. Both guys have better stats than Nico with less roster surrounding them. Either will slot in just fine

But he's finding open receivers and throwing the ball where they can catch it.

 

[FBtime]

Heck I’d reach out to Joey Aguilar who transferred to UCLA to be their starter. He didn’t have the best year last year but had a great ‘23 and with better weapons/OL he could have a nice bounce back year.
