Well that was certainly unexpected. Anyone have any idea what could have happened?

The moment where some fonts denial becomes the sudden realization they owe other fonts an apology...

Best of luck to the young man. Thanks for all he has done for GT.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

God bless and good luck young man. We appreciate you and will miss seeing you in the White and Gold.

I was pretty certain he was gone when the first dude said he was 2 weeks ago. Whenever a rumor starts about a guy transferring from Tech it's pretty much always a done deal. Best of luck to him even if I think he's making a huge mistake both academically and athletically.

 

[MGTfan]

Is it wrong that I really don't care if he's successful or not? I root for Tech, not individual players. To me, Marcus is just another guy that plays for another team now. I'm thankful for what he did here the last two years, but that's over now.

Yep. Been following GT sports way too long to know that rumors of guys wanting to transfer always turn out bad for us.

 

[MWBATL]

Wow. I hadn't heard the rumors...any idea what is behind his decision to go elsewhere? Is this academic? Related to team rules? Issues with playing time? What?

I am VERY sad to se him go, I thought he was really coming on to be our best B Back and worry about the other guy being able to stay in school at GT.

Why do bad things always happen to us? :-(

 

[MGTfan]

Pretty confident he just wants more carries.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

Too bad. He is a talented guy and fun to watch toting the rock. Hope it works out for him. Next man up.

 

[DCSS]

Where is he going?

 

[jeffgt14]

Where is he going?

My guess is James Madison

 

[FightWinDrink]

Too bad. I really liked him as a player and he was really starting to emerge near the end of the season. Would have really liked to see him for 2 more years.

 

[Captain killem]

Good luck young man.

 

[Techster]

Going to be interesting to see where he ends up. He was an ACC All Academic member last year, so I suspect it's not grades.

He can't transfer inside the ACC, because league rules specify he would need to sit for two years. Even with a redshirt available, that only leaves 1 year. Doubt he goes to UGA...though his sister is going there.

 

[GTJoeBrew]

WTF, was really looking forward to the tandem of him and Mills. This makes it even more important for them to be able to keep Mills on the roster.

 

[jeffgt14]

If he wants more carries it will HAVE to be an FCS school. Any FBS school he runs the risk of being beat out of the job anyways which would make transferring pointless. Not trying to sound mean but he wants carries and doesn’t want to win the job for carries. That screams FCS to me.

 

[mndojckt]

Will he be on the team for the bowl game?

 

[Vespidae]

I've never understood this. Part of getting a grant is called "making a commitment". The school makes a commitment and the student athlete makes a commitment.

Folks who invest time and then transfer ... to do what? Get a few more carries? Get a bigger locker? A better looking girlfriend?

Best of luck to him, but I think he may find that the grass is not always greener.
