all summer long when OU was going to get G5 and FCS players from the portal yall defended it with that “if you can play, you can play anywhere” bullshit. Yall used FCS generational players like Jared Verse etc to make the players we got sound good but truth is - as many of us said when the commitments happened, boooo 👎. @Parker Thune and @Brandon Drumm constantly talked those mid ass transfer commitments up lmao. And got defensive when some of us said why are we taking guys like Sam Franklin etc from those lower level programs. Yall thought the world was crazy for being sleep on Baur Sharp and co.
Going into the SEC, OU assembled an offensive line that relied on transfers from SMU, UNT, and USC to anchor it lmaooooooooooooooo.
We brought in players from lower level programs to build “competitive depth” in a higher level conference. Make that make sense. Meanwhile the other big time SEC teams were shopping for the best available in P4 conferences.
Sure there may be some gems here and there but for the most that’s not the case. There’s levels.
