KT is athletic enough for a shot at NFL WR. Not sure if he has the talent to be a NFL QB or Moorhead screwed us a lot worse than we could have imagined. I hope he gives it a shot because I think he could do well.

Wasn't it Jameon Lewis that was a QB turned wr. Couldn't KT do this and skyrocket up the draft if it turns out he can catch and makes a lot of athletic plays with with hands, arms, and ability running.
Unfortunately the OP poster only has one agenda, post negative shit to keep everyone stirred up.
He bitched about Stansburry until he was fired.
Bitched about Mullen until he left.
Bitched about Moorhead until he was fired.
Already started several threads bitching about Leach.
Maybe he just likes to bitch.
KT isn't a WR. He's going to transfer out and we can then quit discussing him finally. Had Mullen stayed, maybe QB would've worked for him. He'll do well at Nichols or McNeese or a directional LA school. Nothing wrong with that.
Why is it some of our fans can't just sit back and enjoy the complete 180 we've made in the last 3 weeks? We went from complete apathy, not wanting the 2020 season to come, no one wanting to go to the games, calling for Joe to be fired immediately & NOW we've hired a sitting P5 HC who has 139 career wins/is a national treasure and darling/one of the greatest and most proven offensive minds in all of CFB, we have tons of momentum going into 2020 now, hired a solid DC from a P5 school who's got tons of upside, we have lost ONLY 1 signee and Dawgfan77 says it was encouraged, we've got a proven grad transfer QB heavily leaning towards us and OV'ing this weekend who threw for 3,600 yds with 29 TD's as a junior and was rated the #45 NFL prospect overall going into 2019 season, and now the fanbase is completely united (well, most people who aren't hell-bent on trying to spread pessimism) and we're about to sell TONS of season tickets when we previously would have lost tons and we will have a HUGE crowd at the Spring game simply because everyone is so damn excited to see how the Pirate's offense looks with SEC athletes.
All to say, if you can't just be excited and quit trying to spread pessimistic BS when we've done unprecedented things at MSU this month and things are looking up for the program when it looked doomed a month ago, then get help. #SwingYourSword #HailDamnState
I'll be interested to see what happens with him. He certainly doesn't fit this offense, but I'm not sure what his options are that he likes. He wanted to leave in the summer/early fall and he really didn't have any options.
Its easy to talk about transferring to a McNeese or Nichols, but boy the culture shock in how you are treated by the schools is shocking. Being on a SEC roster comes with significant perks from types of food to training staff and facilities. My guess is he leaves, but I'm not sure he is eager to. Heck - he hasn't left this offseason when every objective fan/coach would tell him his playing days at MSU are done.
As for Mayden, I'm guessing he gives spring a shot. If Costello comes my guess is that he leaves, which makes sense. We aren't running a RPO offense. I think we roll with Costello/Shrader/Rogers next year which is great QB depth for a Leach offense.
If Shrader leaves because he doesn't like the off-season workout program and/or he doesn't get to start as a true sophomore (even though the path is there to redshirt and start the next year) then do we really care if he leaves?
We've had two coaches in a row now who seem to not care if KT stays or goes, so it's hard for me to be worried about this.
Where's Mayden going to go? Texas A&M Corpus Christi?
You don't NOT go get a guy much better than everyone else in your room because you're afraid some of them will be upset or leave, particularly when you don't seem to believe in those guys anyway.
This whole deal is a shakeup, so of course things could be shaken up.
The thing is, the chance at playing in the NFL is about zero as a QB at McNeese unless Moorhead and Leach don't recognize NFL talent. KT has looked pretty good running with the ball and he is athletic. He might like the idea of giving WR a shot in a Leach offense if it gives him a chance at the NFL otherwise he basically has zero chance. He also then stays at a SEC school with all of his friends. Not everyone that plays QB is like Tebow, QB or bust. A lot of guys would have taken the chance playing TE or FB in a NFL offense if the other choice is not playing at all.
I think y'all may be jumping the gun a bit. Leach said in his interview with Bo Bounds yesterday that the staff won't know what they have at the QB position until they get into Spring practice and have a chance to evaluate. They only QBs they have any film on at all are Shrader and KT, both of which ran different offenses.
I don't think KT is accurate enough to make the cut at QB here, and he may end up transferring out anyway. Shrader seemed pretty accurate last season but Leach may want to redshirt him, who knows?
But in any event, they'll get a shot this Spring. I don't think Leach has already made his mind up and put these guys out to pasture. I just don't think that's the way he's wired.
Yep even we get a grad transfer QB I don't think it the kind of guy who would automatically start him. I think he'll throw them all out there and play who he likes best, period.
Now I understand you go get a grad transfer QB only if you think he's going to be better than what you have. He's played Costello and while he might have heard some things about GS and watched some film he's never seen him throw live or seen how well he'll be at reading defenses.
Are you basing that on inside knowledge or just on the assumption that he doesn't fit the offense?
I don't think he can be QB, but we have a lot of opportunity for a WR that can catch the ball. If KT is athletic enough for WR, it doesn't seem crazy to me that he would try WR rather than transfer to G5 or FCS.
