  Hierarchical quiver models can be used to build theories of electroweak
symmetry breaking and natural models of flavor with a pseudo--Nambu-Goldstone
boson (pNGB) Higgs. They are cousins of similar models in extra-dimensional
theories in anti--de Sitter backgrounds, and can be obtained from them by
coarse deconstruction. We consider the fermion excitations in these models,
focusing on the quark sector and studying its generic features and
phenomenology. We show that, unlike in the continuum case, the spectrum is
strongly flavor dependent. To study the phenomenology of the quark excitations
we compute their couplings to the Higgs sector and the gauge excitations which
determine both their single-production and their decays. We show how the
generic features of quiver theories with a pNGB Higgs translate, through the
spectrum of quark excitations and their couplings, into a distinct
phenomenology at the LHC.
