Maliq Carr and His Decision to Transfer
- Thread starter Esox54547
- Start date
Well I guess that promise was kept then.
Not sure how you keep a promise to join a team midseason during the pandemic. Football team had just had a big outbreak. Wouldnt blame Painter if he told Carr to wait.
Oh, I agree fully!! I was being a little sarcastic with the promise kept by MSU with the 1 minute of action.
Young man wasn't patient enough to see the opportunities before him. With all the injuries, he could have figured into a standing TE / WR. Seems he had a me first mentality at least per my readings of clips here and there.
He can spin it how he wishes...he would not have played more than a minute at Purdue either...well, he may have in that he may have taken the minutes that Furst ultimately got in games when the other walk-ons played.
It is frustrating/disappointing from the standpoint that he was talented, but, his comments and decision are evidence that it was unlikely to work at Purdue for him.
He can spin it as he is trying to...I am confident that if there was REALLY a concern on the part of the football staff, that, there would have been some coordination with the basketball staff.
It will be interesting to see how things play out for him in East Lansing...won't be surprised if he finds success on the football field...will be if he does on the basketball court. I think he could/would have done the same at Purdue ultimately, but, his desire to leave trumped that of seeing what would happen.

Not only that, but do you see a player who projects to be better than Garrett Miller? Let’s pause .. the TE not the OT (oh boy). I don’t …
i know
Different style of TE. Carr would have been an F. Miller and Durham are Ys.
Correct, but, if you played him as a jumbo slot (essentially what an F is) he would have had a mismatch against LBs and nickel corners)
I think thats what they intended with Biber. Piferi appears to be filling that role some.
True but also.. he seems like the kinda kid who would have seen Miller and Durham getting their next year AND known that Miller was returning and probably not been very content unless he was outpacing them
I get the concept as a throw in but I think it’s just a throw in. We receive fine from the Y spot and we have slots who can stretch the field .. TJ was just getting comfortable last year and I think Burks is gonna be ready to go … I even liked seeing doerue get in on the act vs MSU
I was wrong. tell that poster hauser i'm willing to admit I was wrong. unfortunately, he never reads my posts. I swore Carr would never play a minute of basketball for MSU. Do we have proof it was actually a minute? or was it closer to 57 seconds and they rounded it up?
It looks like 30.6 seconds.
His highlight tape starts at 24:22 and he's in until the end. Look for #15.
Here's his stats for the year:

Dude has the same football scholarship/ basketball walk-on offer from UGA. Could’ve won a natty and probably started for the basketball team haha. But then again, he would’ve had to play for Crean
awesome. so he didn't play an entire minute. So i thought I was wrong, but actually i was right once more. he didn't play a minute of basketball for MSU.
If he doesn't transfer again, he may get enough seconds to get over a minute for his MSU basketball career.
my fingers are crossed . then I'd have to admit I was wrong.
When Carr was first being recruited by purdue, I looked at his high school basketball stats and performance, he was good in high school. But he was a 6'5 power forward. I just have to believe no powerhouse BIG 10 team is going to play a 6'5 player at the 4. and his skills did not look like they would translate to a 3 or a 2. taken into consideration, the team was MSU who is known for their elite and strong and big power forwards, I saw no way in hell carr was ever going to play any minutes for Izzo at MSU. I also saw no way he was ever going to play any minutes for painter at purdue either. he may have been a great PF in HS, but teams like purdue and MSU have a lot better options and players. if he truly wanted to play both football and basketball, he would have to set his sights a lot lower - like SIU or Ill St.
IIRC Carr was adamant about NOT being a tight end when he was recruited.
Either way I agree with another post that he would have been better off playing at a lower level of football and basketball but maybe now much lower. The University of Dayton and a 6‘5“ power forward named Trey Landers. He had an offer to play we’re back at some big time, major colleges I believe even T-OSU from Wayne HS.
He wanted to play basketball may be more than football even. So he chose dayton and became a star at the power forwarHe wanted to play basketball may be more than football even. So he chose dayton and became a star at the 3-4 spot. Had Covid not happen they were going to get the second 1-Seed. Everyone says that team was 100% about Obi Toppin. But they don’t know about players like Tre who are also a massive part of the success of that Dayton team.
If Maliq finds himself in the portal again hopefully his handlers find an opportunity like that. Because Dayton also has a pretty good football program and they’re tight end from a few years ago is starting for the Saints.

He was gonna play te at Purdue.
dude was allegedly bot great in the lockerroom or weight room. We are more than fine at wr and te
I thought the real reason he transferred was not about playing basketball or TE. i thought the real reason he transferred was because he thought his talent was so awesome that he expected to start his Second year at Purdue. and he got beat out by both Wright and Bell during spring practice, and he realized his dreams of starting were gone. So he got mad and left.
You won't find this in any press clipping or press conference, but isn't that the real reason he left? he basically got beat out by another player and he didn't get his expected "star" treatment. he'd rather play on a winning team than trying to make purdue into a winning team. we became better without him.

Use this as a posting template going forward and I’ll read a lot more of your shit
I thought that a student-athlete could only use the portal once without eligibility loss during their 5 year span. Don't successive transfers require that they sit a year.
I think that is the case, but there are quite a few players who have hit the portal more than once.
I thought that it was supposed to be the case, but, I don't know that it actually is...lots of guys that have been in the portal in successive years or more than once, and, none that I am aware of that have had to sit...or are planning to.
