Head coach Porter Moser went viral after SoonerScoop asked about the direction of the program last spring. He mentioned winning April and May with retention and the transfer portal.

Check and check. Well done. Time to see how it plays out. On paper, again, on paper, looks like the best team at OU under Moser.

Did OU win in April and May?

Yea, it kind of went viral when I said you had to lean into it in May. And I’ll say this, I’ll just make a general comment, is that we have to be relentless for progress with NIL. I’ll just float that up. We just gotta be relentless for progress for NIL. Right now, after this year’s portal, we need progress, and it’s just got to be that way, because this league is relentless for progress. Where people were last year, where we were last year, there’s progress. And we gotta be relentless that way, and that’s gotta be our mindset, our mind frame. It’s just, that’s the way it is. And I think we have been. I think we’re working towards that, and it’s got to be progress. 

OU begins its season 7:30 p.m. Monday against St. Francis at the Lloyd Noble Center.
