He grew up an OU fan, but as stated by others, he wasn't recruited by any big time schools. In the end, he walked on at the school he always wanted to play for.
He and his father actually went to OU and talked with the OU coaches. Like every other school OU coaches looked at his size and passed on him. We already had our QB in the fold in Cody Thomas who was a 6'5 by 220 four star kid. Baker likely will win a Heisman and Thomas wound put playing baseball.
Don't beat yourselves up as every other team did the same to him. I do know that the Mayfields did talk with Mack and they got the same thing from Mack as they got from Bob Stoops.
