December 4, 20232 yr It's gotta be because Jeff Lebby is at Miss State now right? If so cool. We'll get to beat his ass next year.

Unpack this please OU wants to play 5* Jackson Arnold next year, lest he transfer. He's dual threat with a bigger arm than Gabriel. Gabriel may follow Lebby to State because he is a veer & shoot QB.
December 4, 20232 yr Interesting timing for such a fresh experience, hope it comes with some growing pains
December 4, 20232 yr He played for Lebby at both UCF and OU. He'll follow him to State. Everyone knew this was going to happen and it should. I was surprised that he and both the Arky QB had yet another year left. Still some six year guys from covid out there.

Gabriel may follow Lebby to State because he is a veer & shoot QB. Correct. Arnold plays next year as a sophomore because of Lebby's inept roster management. He wasn't going to burn another year watching DG underthrow WR's. They also have a good HS player coming in that they seem to like. It was time for DG to move on.

December 4, 20232 yr I think Riley sets his sights a little higher than Gabriel. Gabriel is good, in his sixth year, but he doesn’t have the amazing arm and isn’t a big guy.

December 9, 20232 yr It's official. https://www.espn.com.au/college-football/story/_/id/39075575/former-sooners-qb-dillon-gabriel-announces-transfer-oregon
December 11, 20232 yr A bit much on the production value here but Stutsman coming back. He always seemed good (not great) but the entire defense fell apart without him on the field for some reason.
December 15, 20232 yr I’ve posited that, in this era of few restrictions on NCAA football players mobility, the days of the hardass coach are numbered. WRT the Sooner OL exodus- is their OL coach a hardass? I know Stoops took pride in how demanding he was of his team- was it a mistake, in this era, for OU to try to recapture that magic? I am amused by the Sooner reaction to Gabriel helping recruit OL Green to Oregon. Gabriel was their MVP the last two years, and they told him it was time to move on. How can he be so disloyal?

December 22, 20232 yr His dad inserted himself into the process. When the OU coaches tried talking to him, he said "talk to my dad." If the dad doesn't want heat, then stay away from the fire.
December 22, 20232 yr Really? You’re rolling with that- “recruits, when you commit to Oklahoma, it’s for life. Unless we want to drop you, in which case, go away quietly and don’t take anything with you. But, if you abandon us for a better opportunity, we will respond like Glenn Close in ‘Fatal Attraction’ “. What makes Okies’ self esteem so bad that they can’t handle any kind of rejection? Can you not see that the way y’all feel about Riley, about Durant, about Green, isn’t healthy? Let it go.

December 22, 20232 yr Stoops famously bragged, “We coach them hard”. The entire staff, especially strength coach Schmidt, were notorious hardasses. Schmidt’s practices were borderline (and sometimes crossed the border) abusive. That was an era when there were significant barriers to switching teams in college football. Now, I can’t think of a major league with less barriers to switching teams than college football. That OU football, after getting the band back together, struggles to keep key players from portaling out is not a problem of the players, or the structure of college football’s portal system. It is a problem of OU football. The modern reality is that, now, football staffs have to recruit constantly- not just schoolboys and portal candidates-but all of the players on the roster they count on. College coaches don’t have to be “players’ coaches”, but they do have to treat players with respect, or their players will bounce. The right model is the successful NFL coach- firm, fair, honest communicator. OU has had a rough couple of seasons retaining OL. If you don’t think that hasn’t been noted by rival staffs, and pointed out to recruits from HS and the portal… Or, maybe Sooner Nation can fix this by attacking players’ parents. Yeah, that’s the route we want to see. Edited December 22, 20232 yr by statsman

December 22, 20232 yr Y'all are surprised by this? This is coming from fans of a school that outwardly protected a football player that broke a girl's face. The school, Norman PD, and the business owner all cooperated to keep the footage from being released. Dusty Dvoracek literally almost beat his own friend to death in a bar in Norman and was dismissed from the team only to be allowed back a few months later. The guy spent five days in the ICU and was unconscious when he initially arrived at the hospital. I mean, shit, the school mascot is them gloating about being land thieves. Seriously. None of this should surprise anyone. Edited December 22, 20232 yr by ElChupacabra

Get the fuck out of here with that idiotic bullshit. For better or for worse, college sports is like pro sports now but with fewer guardrails. The kid's dad was acting as his effective agent and did not act in good faith. If Rich Paul or Kawhi's uncle owned a series of sports bars in their respective cities, then you can most definitely expect them to be boycotted after their respective players left, fair or not. We may not like it but that's the way it is now. In the "before times," you could say a college player doesn't owe anything to the fans but it's different now. Maybe the dad can get more money from Missouri to cover his losses. So, yeah, a player and his family are now pro athletes and they need to be worried about PR, just like pro athletes are. "His child" is now a professional athlete.

His female relations probably deserve some rapey behavior, too; after all, we all know such things happen around big time athletes sometimes.
