Maty would have to have season ending injury and Lock win SECCG to be similar situations.
Talk about being extremely 'literal'.
If Lock played really well, even without being named the starter, and the writing was clearly on the wall for Mauk to see.. it's similar enough to his brother leaving.

You can never say never, but...........
I kind of looked at it in this scenario. If Lock continues an upward trend and showing well against real competition after we're in conference play, it could do one of two things to Mauk. One certain would be that it will no doubt put pressure on Mauk. There would could be several different outcomes. One would be it would push Mauk to get better, or two it would push Mauk to make enough mistakes that Lock would eventually start. Now start when though, this season or next? My money would be on next season and in this case a transfer would make sense. But if Mauk actually improves, then no transfer. Or this rumor could be true and it has already put enough pressure on Mauk to make plans to transfer next season.
I think it boils down to how well Lock adjusts to SEC level competition.

Whew, I thought you were going to say they were gay lovers.
Not that there is any thing wrong with that.

Wow, glad someone else sees this.^
It's the true test for Lock. I hope he passes with flying colors, but he still is a freshman and will make mistakes, but all players can make mistakes freshman or not, and as said here, SEMO's pass rush is nothing compared to what he will face from Georgia, Florida, tUSC etc. Would love nothing more than to see Lock succeed.

Not sure that I buy the rumor, but additional claims were made that Mauk's dad is fighting cancer and that Mauk had wanted to leave the program over the summer.
Unfortunately, there have also been some pretty irresponsible claims that this is about Mauk being pissed and the whole "Mauk clan" is unhappy, or that Mauk has thrown in the towel since Lock is so obviously better. Seems pretty unlikely to me.
But, if folks can use their imagination to come up with sinister conspiracy theories, it shouldn't be too hard to come up with a fairly benign account... just add a "maybe" to the start of each sentence below...
Mauk did want to leave over the summer, for family reasons, personal reasons, or whatever. He was convinced to stay on for one more year to help the program. Lock's redshirt is burned to get some experience and Printz and Zanders know there will be an opening for a starter or backup next season.
Who knows?

So Mauk wanting to leave this past summer is real?
Posted on 9/8/15 at 6:07 pm to Stlox
I would have doubted this more if I did not see this exact same thing just play out in South Bend, IN with Malik Zaire and Everret Golson...

one interesting side note along this topic line though.
according to legend, Printz is also set to graduate this year, meaning he can transfer with immediate eligibility anywhere he wishes.. he probably has a fair chance of winning the job at UGA.

No, no he doesn't.
Lol @ Mauk graduating early.

I don't know. Just summarizing what's out there.
If it is true, as one poster claims, that his dad's cancer issues arose this summer and that there were pending treatments, then would it be a big shock if he let the coaching staff know, or they figured it out on their own, that he may have to miss some time this season or next?
Until Mauk or the coaching staff say something definitive, I think an explanation like the one above makes a lot more sense than Mauk suddenly being a quitter, hating mizzou, and wanting to transfer to a lesser program.

Start here; if MM isn't graduating early, the rumor is bullshite.
With that said, let's look at the possibility of the rumor being true. For example, it would explain why either EP or Zanders hasn't transferred yet because they both HAVE to know something catastrophic would have to happen for them to play QB. IF MM transfers, then both go into Spring ball as the #2s and at least 1 would get playing time in case DL got hurt.
We all know how loyal GP is but he has stated several times that the best player plays, regardless of how long they've been on campus so he's kind of boxed himself into a corner. IF, after 3 or 4 games, Lock's numbers are quite a bit better than MM's, then Lock has to either start OR get a lot of minutes.
Is it possible that by GP saying "the best player plays", he was prepping everyone for Lock to start including MM?

Probably not. His best friends on the team are here. His family moved here. His dad is going through cancer treatment here.
This is all a bunch of stupid rumors. Unless this all happened in the past month....which I think probably 100% did not happen.
It was a forgone conclusion before fall camp (when lock first arrived) that lock was going to redshirt. Camp came, we all know what happened.
But during the summer, there was no mention of this.
Why is this coming out now?
Pretty easy to read through this BS rumor.
Now, that isn't to say that there won't be a QB competition in the spring. Or that a transfer won't happen. Because those things are certainly possible. I just don't think we are anywhere near that point yet.

Some kids are graduating high school with a lot of college credit. My wife is a professor and kids are coming in starting with 50 hours as freshman. She said that some of these kids are not very smart and struggle when they get to campus.
Anyone that comes in with over 30 hours and goes to school year around can graduate in 4 years.
I still think that this rumor is BS.

I don't see this as fact. Mauk is the starting QB. He wins that will continue to be the case.
The only possibility of this I see is maybe it's a Plan B, an insurance policy, that people have blown out of proportion. Why not graduate early, and keep your options open?
His brother Ben went to Wake Forrest, graduated early and played his final SR season at Cincinnati. So Maty knows this option did workout for his brother.
Nothing comes of this as long as Mauk remains as the starting QB.
Also keep in mind, transfers can take place very late.
UGA's new QB was a graduate SR at Virginia. Lost his starting job at UVA in the Spring practice and decided to transfer to UGA over the summer. He is now their starting QB.

Like I said, I don't know that he is, but there is certainly NO REASON AT ALL, that a sharp kid like Printz couldn't graduate in 3 years, summer courses, if has taken them, would make it relatively simple. I know he just said "I'm not going anywhere" - as in leaving Mizzou, in a recent interview. Things CAN change. I wouldn't expect Mauk to go anywhere else, really, under any circumstances.

If this is true and the staff is aware, then wouldn't we see some aggressive QB recruiting? An instate 4 star and Illinois 3 star don't even have offers.

we're gonna try and snag at least 1 QB in every class, so would be surprised if he doesn't land an offer.
as far as immediate need, next year Mauk is still in, after that, assuming Printz did leave..
1 Lock
2 Zanders
its not a big issue no.

This to me is the only scenario that makes sense if it happens. This season is locked in as long as Mauk doesn't go cornball stupid. But next season is wide open. If lock is going to get series every game this season, it'll give him a much needed boost going into spring and could unseat Mauk as starter. Then it's just a matter of possible graduation and transfer for Mauk if it happens.
