Rumor on Tech message boards is that Mayfield is transferring because Kliff opted not to offer him a scholarship. Mayfield was a 3-star recruit out of high school with offers from Rice and FAU. As a true freshman walk-on at Tech, he completed 64% of passes for 2315 yards, 12 touchdowns and 9 int. Mayfield is not a running threat. He was just a freshman, but that was the Tech offense, and Kliff's previous starting QB was Johnny Football. I don't see Baker Mayfield being an upgrade over Derek Thompson.

Agreed. He stared down every receiver he wanted to throw to (which was usually Amaro). This resulted in one of 4 outcomes after the first few games of the season: 1) Amaro was beastly enough to win the battle with defensive player 2) Interception 3) Near interception 4) He unsuccessfully tried to imitate Johnny Football by running or thinking he could scramble around to buy time which usually ended in a loss of yards. This would be understandable from a walk-on true freshman if there were some signs of improvement as the season progressed. However, despite having Kliff Kingsbury as his coach, he continued to make the same mistakes.

Kid went 5-0 in the B12, beat TCU -- I don't know but that's a pretty damn impressive resume if you arsk me.

He beat SMU(5-7), SFA(3-9), Texas State(6-6), and Kansas(3-9). He lost to Baylor(11-1), Kansas State(7-5), and Texas(8-4). He had Tech in a tie with TCU(4-8) when Davis Webb came in and won the game. He hasn't exactly beaten the top of the big 12(minus 2). He beat teams with a combined 17-31 record and lost to every team he played with a winning record. I think Dajon or Berglund would be a better option. I think McNutlty would be a tossup.

Yeah, we certainly don't want a quarterback who stares down receivers.

Dajon and Berglund and even McNulty are unproven in comparison. Not to say they wouldn't be better or worse we just don't know. This kid has shown as a true freshman he can play a bit against D-I comp. He has a redshirt year so sitting out he would have 3 years to play 3. I think that makes him a valuable commodity.

For the life of me I can't understand why he would transfer. Perhaps Tech has been too slow to award him a scholarship? He is certainly deserving of one.

Actually as a walk on I think he can transfer and play right away. A similar situation happened to Minnesota a few years back.

Your crazy Watch the kid at the start of the season and he looked great. Great arm strength and can run the ball. Might be 6' , but looked great then got hurt.

Thompson's rivals page showed a 4.7 40yd dash while Mayfield's shows a 4.65. Thompson is probably 4 inches taller. Mayfield thinks he is a runner but he is not. Anyone that actually watched him play against Texas would know this.

      Morris signals it is over

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris signals it is over

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.

      After UAB swept us in the regular season, then proceeded to win more games we needed them to lose, and lose games we needed them to win, it's nice for ECU to put an end to their season. Hopefully we can win our fourth straight against the Pirates tomorrow.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      If her team doesn't win, her market value and name recognition will quickly decline. The team as a whole and coach make the value.
