Former Canes QB to Oklahoma?

A Miami Herald update posted to FanNation suggests that former Hurricanes QB Robert Marve may transfer to Oklahoma. According to his father, Sooners coach Bob Stoops called Marve and asked him to consider OU.

The former Mr. Florida Football has been banned by Miami from accepting a scholarship at any ACC school, and state of Florida school, as well as Tennessee and LSU, but his father suggests that several doors are wide-open for Marve.

Robert Marve's father said the quarterback won't enroll at a new school this semester and is strongly considering Oklahoma State, Purdue and USF, or less likely, paying his tuition at Tennessee or Florida, which is allowed. Eugene Marve said Oklahoma's Bob Stoops called and the Sooners are a factor.

If Marve sat out a season, he could potentially replace Sam Bradford at OU but he would have to beat out four-star freshman Landry Jones, who not only has more experience in the Sooners system, but also has a name that is just destined Oklahoma lore.

Given the struggles Marve has faced on and off the field, I still think he needs to hook up with June Jones at SMU and rack up some crazy statistics, otherwise he's going to go down in the countless numbers of kids with crazy talent who just never produced.
