Tate Martell to WVU?

Who could blame him? I really wanted to see how he played at OSU. Now he probably won’t get his chance.

Exactly why I didn't like him coming out of HS. He sounded entitled.

He visited WVU this weekend, and is visiting Miami and Louisville this week. Sounds like it's between those 3 schools, and I'd guess Miami ends up with him considering he's got former HS teammates there, and it's definitely the most high-profile of the 3.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Wish him well. Won't root for him as hard as I did for Joe though.

 

[Wild Turkey]

This kid came off as one giant douche on the Netflix series that followed him Fromm and a couple other kids their senior year in high school. Definitely, a kid that has been entitled and told he was the greatest thing ever.

That being said I don't blame him for transferring as I don't think he is going to see anything but clean-up duty or trick plays for tOSU.

Most Bishop Gorman little snots do. That should honestly be the Bishop Gorman mascot. Little Snots.

Just so weak. Talk shit to Fields about coming and then looking to bail

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yeah like I said before good luck to him but saying you will win the job then running off isnt a good look for you. If he balls out at wherever he transfers more power to him, he definitely isnt low on confidence.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Maybe he saw Fields up close and shit his pants. Fuck, I better transfer. Fields is like a mini Cam Newton

If he had confidence in himself he would have stayed and won the job or a least attempted to.

Did this little fuck call himself, "The Tate Martell"? "THE" GMAFB little short dude.....

I think he has plenty of talent, confidence and especially ego but I think he has some common sense too, in the end. I think it was emotions talking earlier. Think about it: he was in line to start finally after Haskins and one of the highest recruited prospects ever is looking to transfer in. No excuse for him saying what he did, but I think he is just being realistic. He is not beating out a player like Justin Fields.

Here's the thing. If he was as good as he thinks he is then the Ohio State coaches wouldn't have felt they needed Fields.

The whole tweeting shit is what bothers me the most. I don't even care about him talking shit how he will win the job etc. However, him talking shit about not being butthurt and putting it out there on twitter makes him look like a douchenoodle. Fuck him and entitled ass. I finally watched the Netflix QB1 and he does come off as an entitled asshat.

Hope he is around long enough so we get to punch him in the neck when we play WVU again in 2021.

I think it has everything to do with the coaches. If Urban doesn't retire, I'd bet my house that Tate isn't even looking at transferring. The writing is clearly on the wall that Day and Yurcich want a different style of QB.

One was the #2 dual threat QB in 2017 the other the #1 dual threat QB in 2018 . Fields is taller but aren't they the same style QB? Lawrence is a different style but Fields?

Martell is going to rely on his legs much more than Fields from what little I saw of Fields. At least I'm sure he can see Fields as having the higher upside.

He's going where he belongs, Da U. Hurts is going to OU and Kendall will be at WVU. Gotta love this portal bull-ish!
