Any time you can get a kid who flaked out and quit back on your team, you blame the old coaches and do it!
Between that and landing a kid who proclaimed himself the future starter at one school, but left for another before he could be beat out, it’s been a banner week for the Canes.
The freakout over OU blocking their QB from transferring to a school within the conference is laughable. There are 129 options he can transfer to, and they are asking him to skip 9/129... that's 7%. Sorry we went and got a better QB to take your spot, but taking our playbook to a team we will play every year and the chance to see them twice within 1 year... um sorry bud.
Were you OK with it when your OL coach came directly from West Virginia with the WVU playbook in hand?
Says the school who gladly took Baker? Or who has multiple coaches who have coached elsewhere in the Big 12 who would know the playbooks better than a backup QB. Okay dude. It's in OU's rights to do it, so do it. But it's a bitch move as well, no need to get butthurt when people call y'all out for it.
I generally like Oklahoma when they aren't playing Ohio State. That is a bitch made move of the highest order. You're a blue blood, start acting like it.
Lmao but coaches can go from team to team and it’s fine. Just like OU hired WVU’s line coach. The whole playbook excuse is absolutely hilarious and pathetic
At some point in our lifetimes, the NCAA is going to recognize the way transfers are handled is wrong and they will make the right changes to the process. Hopefully those changes include setting a date within the year where kids can decide up until that time if they want to transfer and be eligible immediately for the next season. And they should forbid schools from having any say on where they’re allowed to go.
Kids are mad their coach lied to them during their recruiting process. Then they proceed to enter the transfer portal so they can get lied to again by different coaches.
I know this has already been dogpiled on quite a bit but between this take and some other OU poster saying Kyler Murray is the best athlete in sports since Bo Jackson I am beginning to be worried about the people of Oklahoma, thoughts and prayers to everyone there
my honest take? coaches shouldn't be able to do it either. I'm good with either letting the kids do it, or the coaches can't. I agree the discrepancy between the levels is idiotic. I still don't see a problem with blocking in-conference transfers. Sure the playbook thing isn't that big of a deal in the long run, but having a 7% restriction on your options isn't a crazy barrier. He isn't even disallowed from attending, just if he wants to go there there is a one year consequence like any other transfer. In the end he will be allowed to play and it's fine, I just think it was extreme outrage over a small issue.
Your last two starting quarterbacks were transfers (one of which from a big 12 school). You literally just took a transfer quarterback from a school you played in the 2018 season.
they both had to sit out a season? and please show me where/when Baker sign an LOI contractually binding him to Tech? I must have missed that. He had no formal obligation/ownership from tech.
