I thought there were “sources”that he was happy here and no way he would leave. Fans were right all along that it was dumb to not play him. Coaches botched this badly
@@christopher7952 Word was that he was mature and open to sitting this season if needed. Portal season opens and he's the first guy in the portal. Clearly, communication is lacking between the highest profile player we've ever landed and the coaches/staff. That's never a good thing.
@@christopher7952 You need to not speak about football every again lmfaoo. "PlAyErS wOnT bE gIvEn StArTiNg JoBs" Micah is the most talented WR at TTU and thats not even a conversation. If you arent going to start your best player theres no reason for him to waste his time at a trash program.
@christopher7952 Level made the comment on the podcast about 3 or 4 weeks ago that everyone needed to stop worrying about Micah Hudson. He said he was fine and not going anywhere.
“Micah will make a day 1 impact” Joey and his staff owe it to this fan base to explain why Micah is leaving. Big time programs find ways to get their freshman 5 stars playing time so why can’t Tech? This is such a bad look for this staff and why would any highly rated recruit come play here?
The problem is the black eye this puts on our coaching staff. We got the highest recruit in Tech history and couldn't keep him. Now trying to fill those shoes and Doing these things through the portal will not work every time. We got extremely lucky with Caleb and Josh.
Its a bummer, but this is modern day college football unfortunately. Long off-season ahead so people just need to pump the brakes and take a deep breath. Lets see what next year holds and go from there! Keep up the great work gentlemen and as always Guns up! 👆🏽
@deesee2051 transferring isn't new, but the makeup of the current transfer portal and NIL are new. Just highlighting to people that it's only going to get more chaotic and to not be so devastated by this kind of stuff.
@ don’t think that makes anything I said wrong. I doubt he talked directly to Micah. What I don’t understand is how he can be saying that recently and then say “he’s been unhappy for like 4 weeks”.
Our coaches got the shiny new corvette and realized it’s a 5 speed and they don’t know how to drive it. I’m sure a big time school/coach will figure it out. Hate that we wasted limited NIL dollars.
Literally all they had to do was play him... like AT ALL. fans clamoring for him, Joey can't even say his name right in press conferences, Kittley never worked him in... worthless
@tigerlao44 If he’s hurt how do you do that? If he misses PT, how do you that? If you have two, really three, wideouts producing who do you pull out? There were obviously other issues besides the injuries. See ya later and good luck!
Coaches play the players that give them the best chance to win. Period. There is too much pressure and stakes are too high to hand any player a spot they haven’t earned. Wish he’d stay, but not going to lose any sleep over this one. Sounds like his effort left something to be desired.
Can’t downplay that this hurts recruiting wise for the future…we crapped on Wells for wanting to be portal heavy and now that the five star is leaving, the portal is our best friend I guess 🤷🏽♂️
Do we really trust a coaching staff that admitted to us that it took 4 or 5 games into the season last year to realize how good Tahj was and to utilize him more?
so many people forget this. Fans had to BEG coaching to utilize tahj more. we lost 3 games because of it. We might’ve lost to oregon anyway but WVU & Wyoming definitely could’ve been won
This isn’t Myles price or Nehemiah Martinez, this is a former top 10 talent of this class. You have to keep those guys, look how Alabama and Ohio state have stacked rosters but somehow get their freshman involved. It’s not rocket science, if ur gonna burn his redshirt then PLAY HIM
Guys only leave for one reason and that is playing time. Probably going to be another Baker Mayfield situation. He'll leave go somewhere and win a Heisman trophy. This is all on Joey!
@@georgevan2589Of course Mahomes is better, he was using it as an example that someone’s going to leave us again and get better as a player. OU Mayfield was much better than Tech Mayfield (I don’t think Tech Mayfield would’ve sniffed a Heisman).
While it wasn’t news anybody was looking or hoping for , he didn’t seem committed to earning his roster position and or playing time. He almost seemed absent from any team pics especially outside of practice time. With his intention to leave I really hope Ŧ Coaching and Recruiting staff react aggressively to replace him ASAP!!! A Josh Kelly 2.0 sounds good to me.
I like the fact our staff plays the deserving guys. Not guys with stars. If Micah practiced like a 5 star he would’ve played. If he’s getting outplayed by other receivers constantly in practice then he doesn’t deserve to play. Idc if you have 10 stars. I hope we take his nil $ and go buy a line. We will be good with Douglas. Eakin brown and the young guys.
Have we ever thought that maybe he wasn’t doing good in practice or anything like that? I’ve seen a lot of stuff about not knowing the playbook but if other players can do it, why can’t he? I don’t see a reason to play him if our other receivers who have college experience are doing good as well. The instant gratification is killer for some people.
Make him pay back the NIL money. He wasn’t going to unseat anyone this season. They should’ve had him as a returner and when they went 4 wide then he should’ve been in but the team was always going 3 wr 1 te. But multiple press conferences said he wasn’t ready, he probably wasn’t getting the playbook down.
Colorado had Sanders and Hunter and still aren't anywhere near being a Championship team so that argument is mute. Take Hudson. He's been injured most of the season
@@tmjel1 Eventually Micah will say why he left or on Techs side of things there are almost always the inevitable leaks that find their way to the media. We may not find out every detail but there will be further info down the line
Not a surprise. It is too bad it hasn’t worked out up to this point. If other players were busting their butts, and doing what was expected from the coaching staff, and that wasn’t necessarily the case with MH, perhaps it would be best if he did leave. The optics are terrible, but I would much rather have another Josh or Caleb or Conyers, than put all of our money on just one guy. Also, we desperately need help in the trenches. Would rather spend more money on those positions than with one guy who missed much of the year due to rehabbing or another injury.
Micah Hudson wants to play!! And I have no doubt he also wants to win big! I don’t blame him for transferring. Joey McGuire and his staff are very mediocre at coaching. I know the DC is out, now we’re just hoping Kittley gets a job somewhere else!
I feel like marshawn lynch laughing in Pete Carrol’s face after the lost the Super Bowl to a pass on the 2 yard line we saw him for maybe 7 plays all year embarrassing should have been Kelly Douglas and Hudson all year sorry coy but we coulda lived with his transfer ……… this is going to have excruciating rippling effects on the team and the perception of the team what a shame
the same coaching staff that thought J Brandley was our best receiver and also said that if Hudson was already here would be our best receiver when he was in HS. The issue is the staff at this point right? Simple things being simple. You guys are copium at the max at this point. Unsubscribed.
This is not a surprise to anyone. What’s annoying is this channel (which I’m a fan of) and any other Tech based media outlet pushing talking points that we as fans were overreacting all along and all is good as if we’re a bunch of dumbasses. This is a fumble, call it like it is and don’t bullshit us.
Ima be sick if he goes to a school in the big 12 but life as a red raider odds are he will ……….either way the kid deserves an opportunity to bad he was lied too as all of us were too
All the accolades and NIL money heaped on 18-19 year old young people can produce a prima-donna attitude. I don't think many of the young people know what they want at that age. BYE! Do good where ever you land.
No Spring practice or Summer practice. Hurt this Fall… never knew the offense… could not compete with transfers…bye bye…and fu(k you! Not Red Raider material!
U kiss his a## and play him. You do whats right for kid and program and don’t burn his redshirt. Or you screw the kid for a handful of plays and here is the door sophomore. Either way this coaching staff had proven they can’t win with mediocre talent. And 2. They don’t know how to handle 5 star talent.
Leave it to a whorn to know about “sucking” something. But that’s a step up for you since we know you’re really just a border hopper that bought a shirt at Walmart
They need to go a head and fire Joey, Kittley and Hocutt. This program is going to keep being Mediocre with them around! Joey talking about 8 win season bs. Joey (also first coach to have NIL athletes and has the NIL money) to this 8 win bullshit doesn’t fly with fans that actually realize that staff isn’t it! Look at Bama playing a 17 year old.

It’s cause kitley was leaving
I’ll never forget all the smart people in the media who said the fans were so stupid for thinking he would transfer if he is not played.
Yup. They all kept saying fans don’t know anything. Well the fans were right all along.
@tmjel1 yes and Chris Level was one of them!

Welcome to college football now. He wanted it handed to him. Beat the man get on the field
This is what holds back teams like TT from getting to the Next Level of Competitiveness
Chris Level said multiple times and very recently “he’s happy here. He loves this team and the coaches. I wouldn’t worry about him leaving.”

You gotta play the kid bottom line. Create a package for him
They did
…and he spent half the season injured?
Literally all they had to do was play him... like AT ALL. fans clamoring for him, Joey can't even say his name right in press conferences, Kittley never worked him in... worthless
@ you did not watch the games then
@@barryc5981this is a bad look for Joey
This is not a surprise. You have to put a highly talented player in the game.
@tigerlao44
If he’s hurt how do you do that?
If he misses PT, how do you that?
If you have two, really three, wideouts producing who do you pull out?
There were obviously other issues besides the injuries.

Come to Colorado!! Work his way up the depth chart👀
Coaches play the players that give them the best chance to win. Period. There is too much pressure and stakes are too high to hand any player a spot they haven’t earned. Wish he’d stay, but not going to lose any sleep over this one. Sounds like his effort left something to be desired.
Thanks for the videos guys- yall rock!
Can’t downplay that this hurts recruiting wise for the future…we crapped on Wells for wanting to be portal heavy and now that the five star is leaving, the portal is our best friend I guess 🤷🏽♂️
Hate that he is leaving! However someone else will fit in. Remember Wes Welker wasn’t a 5 star recruit!
Wes Walker went undrafted… he had a much better NFL career than college career. A 5 star WR could’ve been one of the best WRs tech has ever had.
Maybe he wants to play for Deion 😂
Prime rotates guys just for this reason 😂, watch his press conferences, he said it all the time this season 😂, #SkoBuffs we’ll take him😂
Do we really trust a coaching staff that admitted to us that it took 4 or 5 games into the season last year to realize how good Tahj was and to utilize him more?
so many people forget this. Fans had to BEG coaching to utilize tahj more. we lost 3 games because of it. We might’ve lost to oregon anyway but WVU & Wyoming definitely could’ve been won
This sucks. Like I’m literally sick to my stomach seeing him possibly leaving. Hopefully it’s just a leverage play for more NIL which
“Day 1 impact” …
Dang double episode today!
Well, we don't know what we will be missing until he finds a new home and plays. You got to play with the ones you have.
Like coach prime said alot of these 5 stars dont even twinkle!!
This looks SO BAD for this staff.😡
Is there a cap on how much schools can spend on players? How does the nil payment system work? Could he simply be transferring to get paid more?
What a waste of energy and recourses. What’s even the point of recruiting anymore?
This isn’t Myles price or Nehemiah Martinez, this is a former top 10 talent of this class. You have to keep those guys, look how Alabama and Ohio state have stacked rosters but somehow get their freshman involved. It’s not rocket science, if ur gonna burn his redshirt then PLAY HIM
Guys only leave for one reason and that is playing time. Probably going to be another Baker Mayfield situation. He'll leave go somewhere and win a Heisman trophy. This is all on Joey!
Mahomes arrival precipitated the leaving of the Baker Mayfield, I think we all know who is and was the better player.
@@georgevan2589Of course Mahomes is better, he was using it as an example that someone’s going to leave us again and get better as a player. OU Mayfield was much better than Tech Mayfield (I don’t think Tech Mayfield would’ve sniffed a Heisman).
Hudson lives in Temple, what college is closer to Temple? Baylor is in Waco.
Only our guys would shrug off a 5* leaving.... HILARIOUS
The spin is 😂
Damn, its hard enough to get elite talent to Lubbock, and Tech doesn't have the donor pockets to pay talent the way A&M and Texas can. sucks
Level completely botched coverage of Micah Hudson. Was off-base and basically lied to us by omission to preserve his relationship with the coaches.
😮
Credibility took a shot for sure
Gimme a break! Babies!
Any truth to the rumors about a lack of work ethic?? This is why he never truly recovered from his injury?
Has it ever worked out when a high school kid chooses a school based on his girlfriend going there?
While it wasn’t news anybody was looking or hoping for , he didn’t seem committed to earning his roster position and or playing time. He almost seemed absent from any team pics especially outside of practice time. With his intention to leave I really hope Ŧ Coaching and Recruiting staff react aggressively to replace him ASAP!!! A Josh Kelly 2.0 sounds good to me.
I hope he isn’t the crack in the dam that is about the open up. There are others that worry me more and would be a bigger loss.
Viewing this later. Yes more to come. Kittley off to FAU.
I like the fact our staff plays the deserving guys. Not guys with stars. If Micah practiced like a 5 star he would’ve played. If he’s getting outplayed by other receivers constantly in practice then he doesn’t deserve to play. Idc if you have 10 stars. I hope we take his nil $ and go buy a line.

There is no way that kid is 6 feet tall. He needs to move to the slot position. I just hope that this does not impact Hammond in any way.
What happened to the tight relationship with Kittley?
Yall better not let this boy end up at Colorado or its over
Maybe he just can’t handle Hammond’s fastball. Who knows?! Star ratings don’t measure if a kid can learn the playbook.
Make him pay back the NIL money. He wasn’t going to unseat anyone this season. They should’ve had him as a returner and when they went 4 wide then he should’ve been in but the team was always going 3 wr 1 te. But multiple press conferences said he wasn’t ready, he probably wasn’t getting the playbook down.
Well with him being hurt all the time I think they wanted to redshirt him
too bad they also lost track of how many games he has played and also burned his redshirt. complete coaching malpractice by this staff
Colorado need a few wr since yall aint using him.
Colorado had Sanders and Hunter and still aren't anywhere near being a Championship team so that argument is mute.
Take Hudson. He's been injured most of the season
The point is moot, not mute. lol.
You simply can’t ask Tech fans to donate that much money to the Matador Club and botch it as bad as you have when you get elite recruits.
You don't know the staff botched this, let's wait till facts come out. It could very well simply be that Micah didn't wanna be at TTU any longer
@@RichieIsRightthere’s no more facts that are going to come out. It ain’t being discussed by the coaches who are you kidding
@@tmjel1 Eventually Micah will say why he left or on Techs side of things there are almost always the inevitable leaks that find their way to the media. We may not find out every detail but there will be further info down the line
Oh well...next man up.
edit: If/when Will Hammond hits the portal, then, I'll start to worry.
A reliable source who is on the team said Hudson was worthless, entitled and lazy.
He's not hard to find...
Not a surprise. It is too bad it hasn’t worked out up to this point. If other players were busting their butts, and doing what was expected from the coaching staff, and that wasn’t necessarily the case with MH, perhaps it would be best if he did leave.

With all this talk on Kelly or Hudson and their talent, Caleb Douglas is a DUDE and only a sophomore. He’s going to be a star here in LBK
Sucks if he kills it at another program.
He will. Bet on it.
Micah Hudson wants to play!! And I have no doubt he also wants to win big! I don’t blame him for transferring. Joey McGuire and his staff are very mediocre at coaching. I know the DC is out, now we’re just hoping Kittley gets a job somewhere else!
Welcome to the world of Portal and NIl in collegiate football. It will get worse.
Mahomes should pull his NIL deal today
Okay. Sark could just get him, and Texas will definitely hook him up.
Go get 6 or 8 brick shithouses at OL and DL please
Terribly ran team tbh
He will transfer to Texas

This is all baker mayfields fault
Not suprised he'll go on to rule another program colorado
any player that joey hypes up is a dud..........linton, cole, hudson, peoples. read the leaves.
Dang that’s the truth
Linton was a lot better at Baylor than he was under Joey.

Actually hate to say I told ya so, but…
