I wonder which teams he is pondering, and if he spoke to LR. Guess we shall see....
Hurts in transfer protocol
- Thread starter kcstorm06
- Start date
should happen pretty quick, he will want to be on campus when the Spring semester starts, most schools start back up on the 14th.
Ou does not need Hurts. He would bring more controversy than benefit to the program at this point.
Hurts is a man among boys...his talent is as shining as his leadership. It would be hard not to bring him on board to teach the pups ...and to get Lamb and Rambo the ball on the money. He has a definite upside and Rattler needs a deep dive into the playbook and practices.
I doubt it. We can have packages for him and he can add veteran leadership. If Kyler comes back then yea we don’t need him. Honestly I feel for him because Nick Satan did him dirty and I’d like to see him actually get developed unlike at Bama and get drafted and he’d credit OU for all this NOT BAMA.
It appears that while Riley did not reach out to Fields ( Georgia ), he apparently has to Hurts. The scuttle is he sees talent there he can work with and it gives him a bridge to Rattler who would RS. Now, this may change if KM comes back and Riley is meeting with KM and his parents this week. KM could play minor league ball and still come back for his last year at OU.
Excuse me but Hurts played in 30+ games where his passing was very substandard. He was mobile but his passing was bad in many cases. Now you think he is the man to get the ball to Lamb and Rambo? Are we talking about the same Hurts? Rattler has nothing to learn from Jalen Hurts.
What packages? He can't pass the ball? We just recruited the 3 best WRs in the nation. You really think Hurts can get the ball to them in Big XII fashion? Hurts is taking major steps backwards in QB play. He's one dimensional.
I will be stunned if Riley even offers to Hurts. I am sure he is fine, but he is NOT an OU QB. Damn.
Hurts won't be confused with Mayfield or Murray, but he could help OU....and many other teams.
In limited duty, backing up a Heisman candidate, he completed 51 of 70 passes (72.9%) for 765, or 15 yards per completion, with only 2 picks.
However, I don't see Riley taking him. I think Riley likes what he has....or will have.

I'm torn about Hurts coming to OU.
One one hand, I can see Riley working with him to elevate his game and become and even better passer. He has good size and can be utilized like Belldozer and/or Elhinger at texas on third and short situations. He could make a significant contribution to the program, but not sure if he's the right guy for the job right now.
On the other hand, he never particularly "wowed" me as a QB. Not saying he's not capable, but he's not someone who makes you sit up and take notice (I guess I've gotten spoiled by Sam, Baker and Kyler). Hurts' arrival at OU would create even more competition among Austin, Mordecai, Rattler, etc. for the QB job and it would not surprise me if someone left the program if Hurts did show up at OU.

If Riley can make Hurts better for one year, this could allow OU to "kick the can down the road" in the development of Rattler by redshirting him. But as I said earlier, Rattler may be too good to redshirt, even as a summertime arrival.
Rattler said several days ago that LR told him that he wasn't bringing in another quarterback...
But please carry on
But please carry on
It's nothing new. You can be a professional in one sport and retain amateur status, and in this case NCAA eligibility, in another.
This is exactly what I was going to say.
Hurts threw far better this year in an Alabama offense that was designed more like Oklahoma's than he did in the past - and he hasn't even worked with Riley and a better offense.
Kyler Murray threw 59.5%, 5TD, and 7INTs with aTm, so by some standards here, Murray was never fit to don an OU jersey.
Not sure how Hurts can be deemed a bad fit. He seems coachable for the likely one year he would stay. I don’t think Rattler is ready for prime time. He has some size to add and lots of playbook to master. Hurts on other hand has played from a deep playbook and can quickly adapt. He is my pick should Kyler not return.
Hurts isn't looking to go somewhere where he might not even be the starter. He can stay at Bama and have "packages" for him from time to time. He wants to play....he'll find a school but I highly doubt its going to be OU
Exactly. Why would he come to OU to be a back up? Hurts is a better fit at TCU than OU.

3 of 5 O-Linemen declared for the draft before Evans. Are you saying Murray was on the fence until Evans declared for the draft?
my son played with both of them at Allen and is good friends with his brother Tay Evans. He mentioned that Bobby was planning on coming back if Kyler was going to stay. Since Bobby declared, leads me to believe that Kyler is going pro in one of the sports
Until Lincoln gets a hold of him. There’s a reason why he’s interested in him. Calm down guys. He made big throws against Georgia who I may add has a great secondary. Lincoln sees his potential. Hurts did win 30 games and some of that was by throwing. Cam Newton’s knock was about the same yet he led Auburn to a national title. Cam only had a strong arm, he couldn’t read defenses but he was mobile. Gus M made Cam a beast and used his strengths. Hurts just needs an offensive mind like that and Lincoln is one of the best if not the best.
Once again though if Kyler comes back none of this matters.
I would love to see Oklahoma land him. Kid lead Alabama two the playoffs twice. I think you sooners would be right back in it with a chance to have a 3rd Heisman trophy winner in a row.
Well the past two champions have been led by true freshman QB's. I'll pass on the third straight Heisman, for the third straight freshman QB to win a NC.
He'd arguably be farther behind at TCU than at OU. Collins (the kid who came in for Robinson when we played them) was a sophomore who started 4 or 5 games before he got hurt toward the end of the year. With Murray leaving, we don't have anyone with that much experience.
I don’t want Hurts to come to OU, and I really don’t want him to go to another Big 12 school. Jalen, go find another SEC or even a Big Ten school to finish out your college career.
I just don't see Riley bringing Hurts in. Rattlers was told that there wouldn't be another qb brought in, plus Riley was recruiting Austin Kendall while at ECU, and he followed him to OU. I think he gives Kendall a shot at being his #1 guy next season, and if it doesn't work then he'll throw Rattler out there.
Riley will put the best guy out there. We know Kyler isn’t coming back. so that leaves options. Kendall and Mordecai the incumbents...Rattler the new kid on the block. From what I am reading Houston...TCU...and Florida State are trying to woo Jalen Hurts. All 3 programs are very wobbly.
