OU is the best fit for both kids if we are all being honest with ourselves. Nothing will be known till Jan 5th either way so sit back and enjoy the rollercoaster.
That's the path most transfers take. Fields obviously wasn't given a shot at the starting job, he's moving on.
OU in terms of development, makes sense. But, they have talent at the position.
From Miami's position, we have Perry and Williams. Perry has done nothing to prove he's a long term answer at the position, and we don't know what we have with Williams.
On top of that, we don't have a QB this cycle either. In terms of coming in for playing time, Miami's the prime position. Unfortunately, you could apply the same concept at FSU too.
OU is not the best situation for each kid and OU does not make sense from a development standpoint. Part of the reason why there was hesitation to draft Baker Mayfield at #1 overall in the first place was because of the stigma that big12 QBs put up ridiculous numbers in college but flame out when they get to the NFL, Colin Cowherd, even though he’s a USC homer actually made a good argument as to why the browns should draft Sam Darnold. Although looking at it in hindsight, Baker Mayfield and Patrick Mahomes are killing it now, we still have to look at the recent big12 QBs who went on to have mediocre careers. RGIII, Colt McCoy, Brandon Weeden, Vince Young. OU is the hot team right now because of back to back heisman winners, but only one of those heisman winners are playing in the NFL, the other is playing MLB baseball. Same for WR, they ball out in college, but when they get to the NFL they can barely run a full route tree. There a few decent WRs like Kenny Stills, Sterling Shepherd, Terrance Williams, all who were drafted mid to late round. But then you have Corey Coleman, Dorial green-Beckham, Tavon Austin, Kevin White. Some of the biggest 1st Rd WR bust in the NFL have come from the big 12. If Fields and Haselwood both want to go to the same school and become a dynamic duo all while raising their draft stock, Miami or another Pro-style offense is the best way to go.
