DB2point0 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Big 12! Big 12! Big 12! lol jk... Sort of. Lol!!!! I think his play fits the Big 12 offenses too well. That's my reasoning. I think Tech or Baylor were perfect choices for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WETSU Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Lol!!!! I think his play fits the Big 12 offenses too well. That's my reasoning. I think Tech or Baylor were perfect choices for him. I agree. Kliff will do well grooming this kid into that system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I agree. Kliff will do well grooming this kid into that system. I wonder if he redshirts, or will he beat out Webb for the position? Very few true freshman have much success, but Tech doesn't really have anyone on the roster after Webb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etos10 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 We will have Patrick Mahomes next year to back up Davis Webb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 We will have Patrick Mahomes next year to back up Davis Webb. Are Tech fans worried he'll choose MLB? Heard he tossed 16Ks in a no hitter the other night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle34 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Are Tech fans worried he'll choose MLB? Heard he tossed 16Ks in a no hitter the other night! If he's a high draft pick it will be tough to pass up the cash. With his Dad being a former player don't look for him making it to Lubbock.

Immortal13 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yeah like Johnny had too Knight has to prove his a good qb. I read that sentence three times and I still don't know wth it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etos10 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I watched Patrick pitch last night. He wouldn't even do well at the college level the way he was pitching. He was quite unimpressive (my son was on the Tech team and is a baseball coach so I have seen a lot of pitching). He could throw at 92-93 mph (the scout with a radar gun was right in front of me), but Lindale was hitting his 92-93 mph fastball. So no, not too worried about him going MLB this year. Have heard for over a year that he is not the pitcher his father was. And pair that with the fact that his parents really want him to get a college education first, I think he will be at Tech in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WETSU Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 May be true but the MLB drafts on potential moreso than are you ready now.That's true. Is he strictly a pitching prospect or is there potential he plays other positions? Does he plan on playing baseball at tech? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etos10 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 yes, he plans on playing baseball at Tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WETSU Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 So is he a pitcher only? I don't know anything about the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etos10 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Not sure what position he plays, but he is looking to pitch at Tech and at the Major League level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gather here his ball doesn't move much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etos10 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 It does not. His fastball is straight as an arrow and his change up, while pretty doesn't have a lot of movement on it. just not terribly impressive. We had a pitcher here about 8 years ago, Carson Middleton, who threw in the upper 90's and had some amazing movement on his pitches. I remember being really wowed by his pitching. He was drafted in like the 40th round and never played above the college level (he played at A&M) because of laziness and extra curricular activities. I believe Patrick has the work ethic, just that he is better in football (and maybe even basketball) than he is in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLine06 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I wouldn't worry about Mahomes so much because Tech will have 4-5 QB's on the team with 3 on travel squad. Stidham plans to enroll next January so we'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
