Class of 2022 QB Jayden deLaura (HI) transferring from Washington State

[Symphony Steve]

I was resigned to losing Purdy to the Sooners when I saw this but I think we need to keep in mind that while Oklahoma lost a couple of terrific QBs to the portal, they also added one.

Dillon Gabriel has a strong history with new Oklahoma OC Jeff Lebby and it looks like he is going to be a lock to start for the Sooners.

If Bubba wants to play right away, he might want to look elsewhere.

But maybe he likes the thought of living in a dustbowl and going to a sub par academic institution.

Every time I hear of Oklahoma's sub-par academics, I'm reminded of the quote from former US Senator David Boren, who became the President of the university:

"I want to build a university our football players can be proud of."

Don't think it happened.
