Oklahoma QB's 1st Offer

[JConXtsy]

One of these stories every year. This year it's in our backyard.
C'mon Stoops. If you're going to potentially throw away offers on 2* LBs that will never play, try a record-setting QB from home.

Great story. I remember hearing about him last year. I'll be watching his career.....Good luck to him and thanks for the link...........

JCon, are you back on the "I know more than Bob Stoops" train? Not a single power five conference team offered this guy. Not Kansas. Not Vanderbilt. Not Colorado. Not even any other Division I school. Pick any team in the top 100. Number 98? Nobody offered him. He's 5-10 and weighs 167. You'd prefer this guy to an Eric Striker clone.

Well okay.

I'll take Bob's preferences, thank you.

I wonder why he didn't go the juco route? NEO is just down the road. Some people seem to grow after high school. My friends son was exactly the same size as this kid and played shortstop in HS. He signed with the Horns, transferred to Seminole JC and ended his career as a 6'1" 220 catcher for OSU.

On second thought, the kid does have a 4.0 grade average. Maybe wasn't interested in going through a slightly advanced curriculum junior colleges offer.....

Hate to break it to you but he did get a D1 offer. Seth L. And the mean green offered the kid. The only reason he didn't get more offers in D1 was his size. This kid is a gamer and is on the money with his passes.

Yep, a guy that small would probably get hurt, a lot, in the big twelve.
It's just rote physics really.

Here's wishing him the best. He sounds like a winner.

Um, how big is kyler Murray?

Does anyone else see a little bit of "Baker Mayfield magic" in this kid?

 

[K2C Sooner]

His parents should have transferred him to a top school in Tulsa It happens, especially if you think the kid has top potential. Let's face it, he was a big fish in a very small pond. I wish him the best.

Bob prefers his undersized QBs to walk on. No sense in wasting a schollie when you can drop it on a 2 star JC guy.

I know UNT offered him like in the last week. That's what the story was about. And he took UNT's offer because it was the only one he had. I'm glad for the kid. He lit it up in high school and deserves a shot. But complaining that he didn't get an OU offer is, not a valid complaint.

I believe that's the problem, though. Instate high school football stinks, because the best athletes don't play as much football as they might if rules were enforced about transferring. And the lousiness of instate high school football is a big part of the reason that OUr recruiting isn't what it used to be.

I don't get your post? Are you saying players can't transfer if the parents move into a home in a certain (bigger) school district?

It was for JC. Not so for you.
Some like Crunchy peanut butter, some like Creamy PB. I can do both.

Wasn't complaining about no offer. I was being tongue in cheek...more like, what a good kid, throw a sacrificial scholarship at him. Seems like we have a bunch right now anyhow. Scratching my head on how I got on the know-more-than-coach list too. I could probably teach him a few things about micro and nano electronic circuit fabrication, so I guess I fit.

It's a growing list. The only thing I know about nano is that Mork greeted most earthlings with a Nano-Nano.

I think this an a thread full of ST or S__T

If OU can get a visit this weekend, they could get him.

Why? I thought it was a good post........

Wouldn't sweat it. It's MUCH harder to get on that list than the "I-can-bitch-about-coaching-anytime-I-want-even-though-i've-consistently-proven-I'm-clueless list". That's a VERY exclusive list and fortunately, a group so small they couldn't put a starting 5 on the floor. They're lonely and are constantly trying to recruit new members though.

In the long run, it really doesn't matter. First, if he wanted his education paid for while he played football, he would have received it regardless of what division, and now we know it will be a D1 school. Second, if he has a desire to eventually play in the NFL and he's genuinely good enough, it doesn't matter where he goes, the NFL will find him.

 

[Plainosooner]

K2C. I'm saying that most state's have rules that require students to sit and not play, unless they have documentation from their previous school that they aren't transferring for athletic reasons. And such rules keep what is the SOP in Oklahoma from happening.

Why would a great kid at any school in the Tulsa area stay there and compete for a football championship and build his career from the beginning, when there is no chance of that? For more than two decades now one of two schools is the big school state champ. Recruiting from other schools is supposed to be illegal. It is not enforced.

The strange things, is that those great kids aren't as good as they'd be otherwise, because they don't have to push themselves to excel weekly. When your dominant, you don't learn how to push yourself on a regular basis.

 

[JConXtsy]

It was enforced on Ward though.

 

[sooner_mike]

Bigger

Um, how big is kyler Murray?

[Yankees03]

Was actually thinking about that last weekend when I learned Carolina's stud DB, Josh Norman, went to Coastal Carolina.

True...and about 10 years ago, recruiting began in Middle School...
