In two seasons, Hornbeak played in 61 games while averaging 20.5 minutes per contest. After seeing progress, the decision is met with a bit of sadness as the 2012 class showed great promise. Regardless, CCM wishes the best in any future endeavors as we remember Hornbeak was a part of the rebuilding process here at Oklahoma.

However, with the recent news of the transfer, it does free up a scholarship for Coach Kruger. A handful of big men, all 6-7 or taller have given their verbal commitments to OU. Knowing this, Kruger hinted at finding a guard who can provide valuable minutes off the bench.

We learned about this decision this morning, and even though it's late in the recruiting game we'll try to add a player at his position. - Lon Kruger via SoonerSports.com
