I don't know how long you've been in the recruiting thread, so apologies if it comes off disrespectful.
From my POV we're carpet bombing the DT board because real legitimate contributors are hard to come by and even harder to win in the portal. Maraad Watson was a welcome anomaly, but you're not going to find true difference makers in the portal on the DLine. Everyone wants them. I know we've had good experiences with our past portal haul, but the idea is to raise the floor and develop lines from the HS ranks rather than have to drop a few million on a DT every transfer portal period. I think it's extremely unlikely that if we get to 5 or 6 DT commits that they're going to start looking around. At the very least they'll stay a year, collect their money and the cream will rise to the top. Thats what an elite program looks like. Quit being a pussy about the numbers.
DISCLAIMER THIS POST IS ABOUT THE SCUM FUCK KETCH. IF YOU DONT CARE DONT READ.
Seems like Ketch isn't following through with the Merger? so IT will be the new Rivals site, and OB is going independent.
He's rocking Texas gear at the Rivals 5star event in Indy today. Has posted in Texas gear before as well on his twitter.

Anyone willing to put in the legwork to see how many decommits we’ve had in the NIL era? Would love to see the math on who commits versus ultimately ends up in the class. Same thing other teams are saying in regards to “it’s a long time to signing day.” Especially with CTJ saying yesterday they’re not just accepting commits from anyone. But in reality it feels since NIL our signing day 1s have been pretty quiet. TIA if anyone takes it upon themselves.
Well when you sound it like that I sound like a dumbass.
I took it as "I have 2 edits I was asked to make that are waiting to be posted." I didn't think far enough ahead to "its big time recruit related." Happy to be proved wrong though.
On one hand, I deeply, deeply hope this is true. Because it would mean Oklahoma is still falling off their cliff and hasn't hit the bottom yet.
On the other hand, the idea that their "Football GM" is giving that kind of insight to a mish mash of individuals, and admitting their most problematic tendencies publicly makes them look so fucking toothless. How can you admit you're more willing to sniff around the Southern Miss type kids instead of big game hunting like the rest of the SEC? Even Mississippi State and South Carolina will chase big game in their own back yard.
I can't imagine going to that Meet and Greet and coming out confident as an OU fan. Holy shit they may be more cooked than A&M at this point.
