The coach will need to sit and talk with Young Hooker and his family about his future with A&T. Otherwise, come next fall he will be playing for another college/university.

What could Coach Brown possibly promise the Hooker family at this point? That they will play him for at least 2 quarters next season? |

In One Quarter, Alston Hooker threw for 159 yds and 1 TD. Let that marinate for a sec. Brickhandler looked the same way against Towson when he came in during GHOE. |

I think every QB on our roster can play at a higher level than we've seen this year. Our coaches have not maximized the player's talents. They've actually done the opposite. |

I completely get the enamored position a lot of you have with #11. Is he on scholly or is he a recruited walk-on?
I ask because a lot of you understand the business /human capital element at work here. Brown & staff MUST give priority reps to the dudes who are with us on money.
This will be cleared up in the next few days with the 1-on-1's. Yeager is Audi 5000, & I'm going to revisit my earlier position (after a phone conversation with one of my clandestine & ubiquitous sources within the stadium) & go out on a limb & say that QB1 will be determined in the aftermath of the Spring Drills battle involving White, Hooker, Brickhandler, & hopefully Andrew Attmore, II, the All-Everything QB out of Dudley IF Brown can sign him.
Should Brickhandler lose this battle & is named Qb2, he's portal bound. Hooker will get some money freed up from the roster overhaul, & will get a fair look in the spring. Given he understands his role as a walk-on & practice look guy, he will view the opportunity as a blessing. Earning QB1 or 2 is a bonus.
Let's just wait & see. It doesn't make a difference who QB1 will be if we can't surround him with 10 colleagues who will do their job & move the chains & put points on the board!

Washington never awarded him a scholarship before he departed. All Brown can do is give him what he is due for his last year..i.e A scholarship. Other then that after what he did to this youngman. I really don't think Brown and the Hooker's have anything to talk about . |

Our coaches have not maximized the player's talents. They've actually done the opposite. We've seen on i believe 3 occasions where the QB 2 came in and shined. However, when they were moved to QB1 the following week, they were seemingly stifled by the opponent's defense. And after reading the quotes in our game recap, it's woefully obvious that our staff is in desperate need of a full-time QB Coach. It does not appear our staff adequately game planned for our QBs most of the year. It also seems that the staff was too indecisive in declaring a clear cut QB1. That's on the staff. I can't defend that. |

Alston Hooker in the eyes of some is not a CAA-calibre starting QB. I understand that he is, as many of you on this board and the broadcast team stated at least 3 times today, "Aggie Royalty,"but in the opinion of the decision-makers in the blue polos and khaki pants, he's not quite ready for prime time. What I believe (and it's what I believe) is that the battle for the position heading into spring ball will be between Brickhandler and White. I'm willing to wager the cost of the braces I just got on my teeth that Zach Yeager is outta here via the portal, as are any other QB's on the roster, some of whom will probably be cut. Remember...White is a BROWN recruit! It is my sincere desire that we offer Andrew Attmore, II, the record-setting QB from Dudley. He's 6'2/205 and can beat you with his arm and legs. I know White is a dual-threat guy, but Attmore is a bruiser with finesse. I dern sure hope we get him! He's a smart kid, as he attends The Early College at A&T, and can legit graduate in 3 weeks and enroll in January, and participate in spring drills. Who knows what the coaching staff will do, but it is CLEAR that the entire roster will be evaluated, and I'm willing to go on a limb and say that of the 97 or so names that appear on the published roster on the ncataggies.com website right now, I betcha 37 won't be on it as of August 1, 2024. white is a coach wash recruit... |

Hooker won the battle last spring but was over looked all season JHC where have you been ? Also A&T has a commitment from a QB from Apopka Fl. Personally I hope Hooker transfers because I would not like to see him go through this BS again with Brown . |

Your sources are terrible. We shall see! Don't shoot the messenger! You're among those who believe #11 is a bona side D1 QB. He's the same guy who transferred from Dudley to Ragsdale because he couldn't beat out TWO guys ahead of him. Same situation at Aggie Stadium, & folk are ready to hand him the keys after a nice showing against Campbell's 2's & 3's. Okay. Let's just wait & see... |

Hooker didn't play against Campbell's backup defense?

He "won" the QB1 job in spring ball '23 according to whom? When the fall camp battle occurred, how did he fall to #4 behind Brickhandler, White, & Yeager? Are you among the conspiracy theorists alleging the "powers that be" are plotting to keep a clipboard in his hands & earphones on his head as opposed to a helmet?
Make it make sense.
