Nico getting contacted by other P5 Schools?

What did everyone think what was gonna happen when he isn’t getting a chance over a QB that has a 61 QBR? There are teams that are willing to give him a chance if Heupel won’t.

And again, how do you know he’s not ready? He has got to throw 5 passes all season long. He should have played more than what he has and yet Heupel won’t put him in because he doesn’t want a QB controversy if he plays better. Remember Heupel also thought Hooker wasn’t ready and started Milton over Hooker also.
First, highly doubt this happened because it is against NCAA rules and would be an easy case if Nico made it public that he was contacted. Second, Nico knew he was probably not starting this year so highly unlikely he is upset. He knows he is going to start next year. Third, l love people who think they know more about the team than Heupel. Because we all know Heupel doesn’t want to win.
This whole topic is just stupid.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing Nico get playing time before the season is up. Satin played 3 different QB's early this season and no one objected that I can remember. Spurrier did it at Florida at least once or more. I do think we need to get him some valuable playing time this year. Take off the bubble wrap and let the guy play---it's why we recruited him.
Manning still hasnt played at Texas that I have seen
 
Heupel isn’t going to play Nico unless Milton is hurt to the point he can’t return. Heupel doesn’t want a QB controversy if Nico plays well. Milton got hurt when the Vols was up 31-0 against UTSA and needed a leg brace half way down his leg to finish the game. Milton also finished the game limping. With the game in hand at half time, did you not find it weird for Heupel to keep Milton in till the 4th quarter?
Very good point

I like the 3rd point the best: I don’t know more than Heupel, but I do know that Hooker was better than Milton from day 1. Hooker was better than Milton before either one came to UT and it’s not even close. It’s not that Heupel doesn’t want to win, but it’s his stubbornness and loyalty to Milton that’s giving everyone doubt. What do we have to lose to play Nico? If Nico lights it up that’s great for the team. If Nico doesn’t light it up, then you go back to Milton or just stick with Nico. Either way this teams wins the same amount of games regardless who the QB is. Milton is not a difference maker and can’t not make the plays needed when a clutch play is needed.

So this is literally a whole thread on something that we don’t even know what was said about something that we don’t even know was true
Welcome to the world of Basilio. He needs more commercials and more food so there's less of him talking.

I’m not trolling, I am being 100% serious. I’m not the type of person to troll and the ones that have known me on this board for years will prolly agree with that also. I’m not saying it’s going to happen l, but what I said could very much happen. Everything I also said was not a lie. So if your Nico and think your better than Milton, and your not getting a fist chance, what would you do?
It’s fact that Heupel thought Milton was better than Hooker. Hooker wasn’t Heupel guy, Milton was. Hooker committed under Pruitt and stuck with his commitment. Then it had to take Milton getting hurt for Hooker to get his chance. We are 5-2 right now and I think we would be 5-2 right now even if Nico is QB. Hell I think Gaston Moore would be 5-2 also.
If you was a top QB, would you come to UT after this if Nico leaves because he was mishandled by Heupel and staff?
You’re either a troll or very new to VN.
Those of us who’ve been here more than 5 minutes have seen the “5* backup is better “ thing before.
Let me tell you how this ends.


BTW your Hooker narrative is Bull **** too

I understand why CJH is not playing Nico, I just happen to not agree with his reasoning.

Playing Nico entire 2nd half of the UTSA game would have been great for everyone. Heupel could have told Milton to sit and not risk further injury jo 31-0 and no feelings hurt. But seems Heupel blew his chance to play him that game earlier than he did.
 
He’s the starter next year and he knows it. If Nico is entertaining other schools that means that there is someone else on the roster who could compete for the starting job, which isn’t likely. Basilio going full clickbait.

Been a member since 2014. Don’t think that would classify as being new. Explain how my Hooker narrative is BS, please do. Everything I said about Hooker was 100% accurate. Also I understand the 5* thing also. But the knife also cuts both ways as plenty of freshman QB have had success. We are not 5-2 because of Milton, so don’t act like he is the reason for that. But I am eager to hear how what I said about Hooker is wrong.

Hooker committed under Pruitt. Heupel is hired and Hooker stayed committed and enrolled before Heupel was hired. After Huepel gets to UT he still doesn’t believe Hooker is the man and he goes out and gets Milton 3 months later.

Hooker transferred to UT January 7, 2021.
Milton transferred to UT April 26, 2021.
Heupel is hired January 27th, 2021

Milton comes 3 months after Hooker and Huepel but yet Milton beats Hooker out in practice for the starting job. We was all led to believe that Hooker “just wasn’t ready” and that Milton was ahead of him on everything. We was also led to believe that it really wasn’t that close in practice.

Now fall camp 2021 is over and Milton is the starting quarterback opening the season at home against Bowling Green.

Milton vs Hooker stats to start season:
Bowling Green- 11/23, 47.8%,139yds, 6.0 avg, 1TD, 46 QBR. 14 rushes 44yds, 3.1 avg, 2TD’s, Win 39-6

@Pitt- 7/12, 58%, 55yds, 5.0 avg, 75.4QBR, 5 rush 54yds, 10.4Avg, 1 fumble. Get hurt 2nd quarter down 14-13. Lost 41-34. Team only scored 1 TD with Milton in game.

@Pitt- 15/21, 71.4%, 188yds, 9.0avg, 2TD’s, 1int, 75.4QBR. 9 rush 49yds, 5.4yds. Enters game down 17-13 in 2nd quarter and ended up losing 41-34

TNTC- 17/25, 68%, 199yds, 8.0avg, 3TD’s, 65.2QBR. 9 rush 64yds, 7.1avg, 1TD


As you see through the same amount of games and each playing a game at home, Hooker was by far the best QB and numbers don’t lie. Milton was averaging 6yds a pass then and he is still doing it. When Milton went out of the Pitt game they had only scored 1 TD. Hooker comes in and they score 4 TD’s.

If Milton did not get hurt Hooker wouldn’t have got his chance when he did. Point blank.

Hooker wasn’t world class out of the gate.
He replaced Milton because of injury and looked like he should have been the backup.

He came along quickly and his second season was outstanding. He worked hard and earned the respect and the right to be QB1 but to say that Hypel can’t evaluate talent….or even worse….played someone who he knew was inferior because we wanted to play the guy he recruited is ……just ****ing stupid.

Stop trolling and go look at Hypel’s career as an OC and head coach. His success isn’t because he accidentally found Hooker. He made Hooker. Not the other way around. To suggest otherwise (as you’ve done repeatedly) is either stupid or trolling. You could be stupid I guess, but I don’t think that’s it.

Good day, Troll

Y’all can throw rocks at the jar head but he ain’t lying . Coach made a mistake but he’s still the best coach we’ve had in a very long time. I wouldn’t trade him for anybody right now and I suspect Nico understands his place and is fine with it. Joe’s not great but he has improved and last Saturday he at least knew where the sticks were.
