The other Aggie QB, sophomore Kyle Allen, is also transferring. According to this morning's Houston Chronicle, it is not yet known where either Aggie QB is going.
Regardless, if Baker Mayfield can get an extra year of eligibility....or even if he can't....OU will have Mayfield in 2016, with Austin Kendall joining the QB corps along with junior Cody Thomas for 2016.
In the class of 2017, an elite dual-threat QB from Mesquite Texas, Chris Robison, will join OU.
I'm not declaring stardom for Kendall or Robison at this time, nor am I certain that Thomas will be a capable backup to Mayfield in 2016....if he doesn't transfer as Knight did.
My point here is that there are several scenarios brewing for OU to be in good shape at the QB position for a while.
And what if....Mayfield gets the extra year, one of A & M's QBs transfers to OU and/or the other pieces fall into place.
Meanwhile, on the overall recruiting front, OU may be coming on strong with some big name recruits considering OU.
The more I read, the more I think Mayfield will not get an extra year. Texas Tech just isn't going to make it possible, and who can blame them ?
Eh, I can blame them a little.
In stark contrast to the way Bob handled Trevors pending exit, Taco tech, begrudgingly has had a firewall up the entire time with regard to Baker.
That's just being an a'hole.
We play Texas Tech every year. Baker Mayfield makes it more likely for us to beat Texas Tech every time he's on our roster. I don't blame them. If Trevor Knight were a conference newcomer of the year type player, most of our fans would think it idiotic not to block him from transferring within conference.Eh, I can blame them a little.

Huge difference. Baker was a walk on. Trevor has a scholarship..
