I agree with the bolded.  This isn't a typical grad transfer, where a guy was looking for an upgrade in competition or more playing time or a better fit.  By all accounts he loved being an Aggie and was well positioned there.  This is just the extremely unusual case where the kid's father got a coaching job at a P5 school where the kid's father in law happened to be the head coach.  I have to believe his father/father in law knew pretty quickly how open he was to playing for them as a grad transfer.  They most certainly waited until after A&M spring practice to allow him to get his spring workouts in and to minimize distractions.  A&M owes a lot to Coach Martin, who nudged a lot of his players to A&M while he was head coach at Manvel, and they weren't going to risk alienating a well regarded and influential former Texas HS coach, so they played along.

Regardless, Syracuse got better and deeper.  Can't wait for the season to start!
