the story.

I remeber when this made headlines. I have mixed feelings on the topic, but think transitioning of children should be outlawed. Adults... ZFG, do what you want.

It is interesting hearing their (unsure what pronoun to use) take on the last ten years. Wild.

The man is REALLY Good! I hope he wins MVP!!! So much more polish than last year. Throwing dimes, reading defenses, and command of his game! He seems to get better and better. Proud of that Sooner!!

The situation with Coach Leach is so very sad...heartbreaking, actually. If you haven't done so in awhile, get you a physical. So many things can go wrong (particularly with the heart) that have literally no warning signs until it's too late. If you are a person like me who normally feels well physically, your health can become an after-thought. It can't hurt to be proactive and have your numbers ran once a year, and if a problem does arise from your visit, it's much better to have whatever it is taken care of then, until waiting until it's too late.

We can get along, argue, or whatever around here. The fact of the matter is, I like you folks, and would like to keep you all around as long as possible.

I could be missing 1-2 people, but after looking into it, I am becoming exceedingly more concerned with our DL depth now (It also looks like we will have only 4* total DE's for the bowl game). With this, I thought there would be a more outward sense of urgency with the Portal (i.e. more offers given). Obviously having to play true freshman is never ideal, but I believe that is especially true for a front 7 player. Maybe a lot more is happening behind the scenes, just something I think that could be a major concern going into the next 2-3 weeks.
**EDIT: I am not under any impression that the coaches who do this for a living don't recognize this as a problem, I am well aware they are working on it. Just thought this thread was an interesting topic, especially as we get into the next couple of weeks, and as more portal options get added/removed**

Any update on this guy? Really like his size and tape

Sitting here listening to the radio in Louisiana…lo and behold a familiar sound is on the radio..the one and only @Eddie_Rado Enjoyed the piece on BV and OU joining SEC in 24. #glamourshot

I still feel like there are a couple of obvious portal names for OU that haven’t said anything yet.

What to watch in Week 2.

So say a guy has entered the portal (Alton Tarber for instance) does that mean his scholarship is over come January? Has he relinquished his right to come back in January?

What if he doesn't get plucked out of the transfer portal until April?

Can he come back and just be a student for the spring semester?

Thanks

3:20 left?

FWIW, I'd imagine the plan is for him to still play in the bowl game but Brayden Willis has accepted a Senior Bowl invite. Very well deserved.

Teammates Eric Gray, Wanya Morris and Jalen Redmond have accepted invites to play in the Senior Bowl and have opted out of the Cheez It Bowl.

Going over some tape of his (no real highlights to speak of just game tape here and there) but watch him at the 2:42 mark (in case the video doesn't start in the right spot) take on the tackle, slide under him and make a nice play at the goal line - his first snap of the game.

Oklahoma has made receiver a focus of their early work in the transfer portal. One potentially key target is Tre Harris.

SoonerScoop.com

What’s going on scoop? The lady is busy tn and I’m at the abode bored. I’ve had a little to drink and will probably post questionable things later, but got any portal/crooting qestions i can maybe answer? I’m not a reliable source but I do try

@Josh_M @BPrzybylo @Eddie_Rado With it sounding like Arkansas tight ends coach Dowell Loggains is heading to South Carolina to be the next OC, can OU try to make a late effort for Luke Hasz?

Think we can just trade transfer portal WR’s??

Texans 23
Cowboys 27

Surprising ?

Unsurprising?

Last year, watching Dante Cephas run past C.J. Coldon.

This was from two weeks ago, talking about being physical.

"There’s plenty of guys we’re trying to recruit. I got a guy right now that we’re trying to recruit that ain’t real big in stature, OK, but plays super physical. Super physical. I don’t think you have to be bigger, you have to play more physical. Some of that, what I’m talking about, that’s a talent, too. Your ability to strike, your timing, your ability to uncoil, there is a talent to that. You can get guys more physical by growth and development and weight room, the experience, the certainty, the aggressiveness that comes along with playing a lot and knowing what you’re supposed to do. Anticipating leads to being more physical. I just named, like, 10 things that allow you to be more physical.

"You want to recruit guys that run to the fire, I promise you. You can recruit your problems or your solutions. As we recruit, we’re looking at guys that love to hit and that can run. Those are the two things that are really important."

I dont see a single thread on here about this game today and they just went to overtime. First OT ever between Army and Navy. GO ARMY, beat navy.

It's in the transfer portal thread already. No need to start more posts on it
