Dont think this is gonna be an issue unique to OU either, these entitled high schoolers aren’t gonna sit for more than a year, especially as the ability to transfer and not sit gets more and more lax. Not to go all Texags, but losing Milroe for Wright might actually be a good thing for that reason alone (less so  after losing Ewers however). Will be interesting to see what Card does if Casey wins the job next year with 3 to play. I don't imagine they'll have trouble attracting a premier transfer QB. Especially once it's clear Williams stinks.

Will be interesting to see what Card does if Casey wins the job next year with 3 to play. Rattler was a top 10 QB this year by PFF (top 3-4 if you throw out first 3 games). This counting numbers were depressed by OU WR dropping literally a dozen catchable balls in the endzone. It is quite possible he leaves after a Heisman-worthy 2021. If Rattler stays for 2022, Williams will still onley be a rsFr or So and will be only a play away from real playing action. Williams is great with his legs but apparently much rawer than Rattler throwing the ball. He seems like a pretty self aware guy and understands that OU offers him an amazing opportunity.

Yeah we’ll definitely see on your first point, you’ll need to keep the run game going like it was towards the end of the season for that to happen, but wouldn’t shock me. As for the second paragraph, that was exactly the point I was making. You or I understand sitting a couple of years would probably benefit him and that he’s only a play away but both those things were true of Mordecai, then Morris. That’s shown to not be enough for many these kids who have tens of thousands of people telling them how great they are by the time they’re Juniors in high school. And neither of those dudes were no. 1 ranked QB out of high school.

The Eggles are getting the FeHE (Full Hurts Experience) right now: efficient runner with poor ball security, strong arm with poor timing and high sack and interception rate. Even Hurts got drafted out of the Riley system! I think Lincoln will be able to mold Williams into a better passer. Williams appears quicker and more explosive than Hurts as a runner (reminds me of TCU QB this year as a runner). I think Riley stays until he wins a national championship or at least 8 - 10 years trying. The defense is getting close to making the championship a possibility.

And neither of those dudes were no. 1 ranked QB out of high school. I think Mordecai (4th year) and Morris (2nd) are different from Williams. Both the M's are already behind someone for at least another year. Plus, there is a real possibility that they could be passed by someone who is their junior within several months. In addition, we've now seen Mordecai play. He isn't terrible, but he's not going to lead OU to conference or national titles. Morris is TINY for college football. He may be the same height as Kyler Murray but Murray has 50 lb of muscle on Morris.
January 1, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, ChampionshipLevelPiss said: Any concern Grinch jumps ship? He has interviewed for HC jobs two straight seasons now. Yes, I think there is concern. If he gets a great offer, I think he'd any time going forward. There are few factors to consider. - Defensive assistants are less attractive than offensive for head coaches right now. - He hasn't sustained success. - Bias against Big12 defense persists. If OU has similar or better defenses in 2021 and 2022, his record will be unassailable. By that time, he should be a candidate for high level P5 positions. One can envision Tenn or Penn St or FSU coming after him. Any OU fan should only wish him well.

Barnes (OU legacy) knows where he's supposed to be but lacks the quickness, agility, and speed to be a useful top flight safety. Younger LB were passing him on the depth chart. Both of these guys were useful depth for OU and would have eaten up innings vs mediocre competition next year. Because they'd been in the system and were smart players, they'll be a loss. Neither is irreplaceable. Both could revive their careers in the right system. Best wishes to them both. More critically to 2021, OU OT Adrian Ealy declared for the draft, joining Creed Humphrey. So OU's two best OL are leaving.

Stacey Wilkins is the other opt out who the Sooner need to get back after recruiting misses in 2021.
