So you would be ok with athletes in the NFL, MLB, and the NBA being able to up and leave a team whenever they wanted for no reason at all?  I'm guessing not idiot.

If OU had any balls, they'd pull the fucker's scholarship right now and tell him to go to hell.

Did you know in the pro leagues they have something called contracts? The players sign for a # of years and are paid accordingly.  In college, contracts don't exist.  Hard to believe someone on a sports forum didn't know this.

I knew McKenzie Milton & Dillon Gabriel were both from Hawaii but I never knew they went to the same high school. Free useless trivia for all you guys.

A good friend of mine grew up in Mililani. Sounds like Oklahoma-by-the-Sea:

I mean, the portal has existed before this year. I’m fine with it. 
 

i suppose you’ll be publicly on the record as saying you wish we hadn’t landed Quinn Ewers, and we should pull his scholly because the portal is ruining the college game?
 

Are you perchance 70+? Penchant for shaking your fist at clouds?

When a guy makes the type of impression that Gabriel did on your fan base, it is tough to let go. Between the commitment tweet and the likes of UCLA tweets, the memories will always be there to cherish. 

It’s not about the play on the field, but the tweets he liked along the way.

Yeah, I know that jackass. Need something similar in the college game.  Maybe not as ironclad but something to prevent college kids from transferring on a whim.  And I know it helped us this year with Ewers, but who is to say he won’t transfer next year when he is offered more money to go to another school.

You only get the free transfer once.  If you take a younger portal guy he’s a lot more likely to stick around than an incoming freshman who can transfer with no penalty.

Because then there is a one-year punishment, genius. You only get one free transfer.

What would really be something is if Williams announced he was staying at OU, Gabriel didn’t flip back to UCLA, and during the season Lebby played favorites with Gabriel and Williams created locker room cancer.   That would be something.

I heard that some coaches have those, and that’s why coaches never go from one team to another unexpectedly.  And I know that college coaches have contracts because I just read a post on here that chip Kelly has one.

Caleb Williams revenge against Riley would be something I’d actually watch

LOL

Williams going to UCLA would be revenge, because going to UCLA right now would not achieve the aims he's stated -- development, winning, NIL. Kelly's contract and it's expiration have been discussed so Williams could be playing for a 3rd coach in 3 years. What QB has Kelly put into the league? DTR never really developed. UCLA hasn't come close to winning its division, let alone it's conference or anything bigger.

Going to UCLA would be dissonant with the rest of his decisions.

It’s obviously not a realistic option- you didn’t put it in your stupid fucking poll.

Quite the opposite. I'll remain a Caleb Williams fan, but I'm happy that the drama surrounding him ended with a QB that fits the new offense.

Plus OU got Todd Bates today!

Haven’t stopped laughing at this:

 

Riley is dumb to not have taken him up on that offer, and had one more scholarship to use elsewhere. 
 

or maybe it was a hyperbolic statement. Guess we’ll never know.

Caleb Williams Transfer Destination Power Rankings

1. Notre Dame- Sue me I like Notre Dame blame Rudy. Best path to the playoff and wont have to go through SEC gauntlet

2. Auburn- Once every ten years or so Auburn saves enough money to afford a generational QB to take down big bad Bama. Might be cool

3. The U- CFB is more fun with big bad Miami

POWER GAP

4. Florida- Napier seems legit and they've been mediocre long enough 

5. Tennessee- Id be kinda down with any of the fringe blueblood SEC schools bringing the war to Bama LSU UGA

POWER GAP

7-99 anywhere else

POWER GAP

999. Nebraska- Come on what a waste

POWER GAP

99999. Georgia- Some KD to the Warriors shit

POWER GAP

Sad is not this man losing Caleb Williams from the team. Sad is him coming here to talk about it. Man writes paragraph after paragraph about OU football on a Texas site. That’s like an OU fan posting up at Cain and Abel’s on the reg. What did your homies do to you? I’m half joking but also half curious.

Is there a college transfer portal website, that identifies schools, sports and players….where you can see who’s in the portal?

You mean a portal for the portal?

you do realize this is one of the best and most welcoming boards for fans from other schools right? He's also been very on topic.

I guess that was what I was looking for….

a site that listed all schools, sports and players that are in a portal, hoping to transfer…that could be viewed to find a particular player, regardless of sport.
