Last August, Kelly Maxwell made headlines by announcing her transfer from Oklahoma State to Oklahoma State. This weekend, nine months since making the Bedlam switch, Maxwell and the Sooners will square off against her former school.

We will update and let you all discuss all things Sooners transfer portal news and rumors here! See a player you think OU ought to look at? Post it here. Hear a rumor? Post it here! Have insight? Post it here and Parker and I will do the same!

While speaking with media on Tuesday, Oklahoma head coach Patty Gasso said that there are plans in place for the Sooners and Oklahoma State Cowgirls to continue playing the Bedlam series in 2025.

Commitment date May 11. Wonder if OU turned up the heat on the him. @Brandon Drumm @Parker Thune still feeling good about him and OU?

Can you imagine the jam session these 2 great Sooners are having up in heaven, Wayman and Toby. RIP my fellow Sooners.

*** I made some concessions last week while at Carl Albert, and was asked to not throw out a pick for four-star CB Trystan Haynes, but after discussions with Haynes and sources around the Titans’ program, I feel as if Oklahoma has been closing the door on their competition with Haynes.

I’ll start with the ND buzz, as it was a bit of a shock to Haynes to see the Irish picks come in so fast. Even others that I spoke with sounded off on that topic, with one source saying, “He wasn’t as in love with ND as some want to believe,” the source said. “My feeling is that OU is still where he ends up and with his dad being a big OU fan, it makes a lot of sense when you think about all the other pros to why Oklahoma is a good bet.”

Again, since I was asked to refrain from a pick for Haynes “for the moment” I am making it here so you all can hold me accountable if I miss. I have Haynes being in the Sooners’ 2025 class and feel it’s trending very positively for Jay Valai and OU.

If you remember, we weren’t too sure that was likely a few weeks ago. Even had Haynes likely on outside looking in with the OU 2025 class. That mostly due to where OU stood with four-star CB Cobey Sellers. That has since changed, but we will continue to watch this closely as things start to wind down for Haynes.


*** Now, why the A&M pick for four-star CB Cobey Sellers? Well, because I had a 1 am message from a source that has direct knowledge (and on OU side of things), saying, “That one seems to be heading towards A&M,” the source said. “Seems to have turned sideways for (OU) the last week or so, with Sellers really warming up to Mike Elko and his staff.”

Sellers’ decision isn’t until May 11th, but the staff has already been to see him this spring (only one visit to a school, per new NCAA rule), so that makes it hard to make a big push in that short amount of time.

We will be watching this closely. If it flips back to OU, I’ll just take the L on my FC pick to A&M. However, not getting a good feeling right now, even with some commits to OU remaining confident that OU will be the pick.

@Parker Thune @Brandon Drumm should this tell us where we stand with Williams?

So PT or BD is the second time the charm

I am not whining about OU's schedule. I think it will be great if we can go 10-2 or 9-3.. If we go to Dallas and $hit that game.. I will consider jumping off a 25 floor building. We better do all we can to get whom ever to get us to 6-0 when we come back to Norman to play the Gamecocks. But how in the _____ did OU draw 6 in the (ESPN way to early pre season poll) out of the top #16 while Texas get Georgia at home and us in Dallas and the basement twins Kentucky and A$M?

I won't even count the #23 #24 or the #25 because they both will be out of the top 25 because #25 A$M will get a mud hole stomped in it's first game and #23 Kentucky the 3rd game Georgie.

(*) First number is how many in the top 22

(6) OKLAHOMA #4 TEXAS (DALLAS) #6 OLE MISS (AWAY) #7 MISSOURI (AWAY) #9 ALABAMA (HOME) #12 LSU (AWAY) #16 TENNESSEE (HOME) (4 OF THOSE TOP 12 ARE NOT AT EVEN AT THE PALACE ON THE PRAIRIE)

(5) ALABAMA #1 GEORGIA (HOME #7 MISSOURI (HOME) #12 LSU (AWAY) #14 OKLAHOMA (AWAY) #16 TENNESSEE (AWAY

(4) GEORGIA #4 TEXAS (AWAY) #6 OLE MISS(AWAY) (9) ALABAMA (AWAY) #16 TENNESSEE (HOME) #23 KENTUCKY (AWAY)

(3) OLE MISS #1 GEORGIA (HOME) #12 LSU (AWAY) #14 OKLAHOMA (HOME) #23 KENTUCKY (HOME)

(3) TEXAS A$M #4 TEXAS (HOME) #7 MISSOURI (HOME) #12 LSU (HOME)

(2) TEXAS #1 GEORGIA (HOME) #12 OKLAHOMA (DALLAS) #23 KENTUCKY (HOME) #25 A$M (KYLE FIELD)

I understand OU is over on scholarships. I thought we'd see a several portal entries by now to try and get numbers down, especially as we've added two from the portal this spring. Instead, we've really just seen Harrington and Wagoner. Are the numbers not as over as we thought? Is it just still too early in the portal cycle for more casulaties? Or, is OU doing something like NIL deals rather than staying on scholarship to keep portal entries down? Thanks.

Not sure on which board I should post this, but does anyone have any idea what Brad Dalke, the former OU All American golfer is doing these days? Really expected to make his mark on the PGA Tour but it never materialized, nor did success on any of the minor tours come his way. Truly a great talent and I wondered if he was hurt or ill. Thanks in advance.

Jennie Baranczyk gets a big pick up in the portal with Raegan Beers committing to ou. Raegan averaged 17.5 points last year on 66.4% field goal percentage along with 10.3 rebounds a game and 1.3 assists a games.

Courtland Guillory to OU

Sorry to have to link this one. There was a lot of information and a lot of hyperlinks, which are easier to process in an article than a board post. Enjoy.

The latest on some big names on OU's board:

I fear that there's a farily large possibility that not only do we have our four draft pick streak broken, but that we don't even have three. I think when it's over, we'll only have our two tackles drafted, and no one else. Congrats to Tyler Guyton for going in the first round. But partially because so many of our D side guys decided to return. I suspect Rouse is the only other Sooner drafted this year.

It took several responses from the offense, but Oklahoma looked like the postseason version of themselves at the plate in an 11-7 win over UCF on Sunday.
