Transferring out. Sad to see him bolt. Must know Caleb is bouncing too.

I'm sorry but these kids are really on the dumb side. Most of them are going to transfer and we'll never hear a word from them again.

Heard Haselwood is already having regrets. That probably will be most of them when they are playing in the Tostitos Bean Dip Bowl and the Sooners are in the CFB Playoff. He was good but not great.

He is replaceable as is Williams.

35 catches for 380 yards.... whoopty-doo

Qualified him for #330 in all of college ball.
oh but he will be taking his "talents" somewhere else. Many of the kids honestly don't realize how average they really are

I'll wait to see how well OU's WR corps shapes up for 2022 before I celebrate the losses of last season's WR's.

Farooq looked good in the bowl game, I was excited to see what he could do next year...that will be a big loss if he leaves.

Agree. And I can't figure out why he had so little playing time last season.

Riley had his favorites and his plans all in his head. Many fails by him overshadowed his successes. His WR fetish buried guys in depth cart...Farooq was one of those hurt by his foolery.

Dumb question here I'm sure, but doesn't moving around so much screw up a kids education? A vast majority of these guys aren't going to the NFL so a college degree would be a nice thing to have. I only went to one university, but I can imagine going to a new school would be a major pain in the butt. Seems like this isn't even part of the equation for college athletes anymore.

This nonsense is getting too comical.
Bomber said it best, these kids don't know how average they really are.

Not sure what happened to the tweet, but it was Spencer Rattler messaging Mario and asking him to follow him to South Carolina. He probably deleted his tweet after he was getting heckled to death.

Yes that would make Spencer an extreme douche and Mario a stooge to believe in the doofus.

Probably more reason for them to chase the money now. A guy like Mario can be a great college WR but is a major longshot in the NFL.

True. I think CeeDee was something like 45ish receptions and 800+ yards his freshman year. Far from Mario #s.

I wish Mario the best outcomes. I wish US the best outcomes also. OU will be fine.

Maybe but ask Rambo about that. Was under utilized at OU and became a record holder at Miami. Our WR room was clearly not utilized properly in some time. All those studs and what’s to show for it. TBOW mismanaged that group for sure

I agree some are better off transferring, but too many kids now jump ship way too fast without thinking about the potential consequences. I mean Jaden Haselwood really made a good decision transferring to Arkansas? I have to really question that move.

Playing for a defensive coach rather than turbocharged Lincoln surely impacts their choices. That, coupled with the number of transfers and de-commits. It happens when there's a management change regardless of the platform. Change is hard on organizations, particularly ones so focused at the top.

Letty got more out of his offense than Riley did lately. Have lots of trust in him to get the Sooners offense high flying. Mario and Jadon will be very sorry they took a low road...not being patient.

It's all about the NIL athletes brother. It's all about the NIL stars so to speak.

Many of which probably barely even go to class much less do their own work. Assuming they are even expected to do classwork

It's not like the universities are teaching the non athletes much anymore other than how to be a socialist (beg for money).

You give kids choices today they usually will make a bad one. For me the ones that are jumping ship had doubts about their choice all along. Don't wanna be here then bye bye. When a HC jumps ship it would certainly put a doubt in players minds that maybe he saw something or knew something they didn't. Maybe OU isn't serious about winning National Titles as they say they are. Its been mentioned here before that OU seems to be ok with winning Big 12 Titles but not much more. With the NIL now they better get serious or we will be left behind in the dust.
Yeah yeah I know how we all feel about it but when you have someone like CW entering the portal then that is a problem. Its a bad look for OU that he is even considering leaving and may well be gone already.
I say if its allowed by NCAA rules that a player wants to enter the portal then he loses his scholly and OU can opt of letting him come back. I doubt that is allowed but its what should be allowed. Just entering the Portal already says they don't want to be there so let them go somewhere else.

From my understanding, once a player enters the portal the scholarship ends at the end of the semester. If he chooses to stay, the school does NOT have to honor any scholarship. They may choose to do so, but are not required to do so.

I mean if they use him like they did with Burks then yes.

Didn't Williams dad complain about how under utilized in Riley and Caleb offense this year???
My guess is that he is probably in love with the idea of being in LA. He is a kid and easy to sway

he wants to play defense, one of the main reasons he went to Bama.
