2023 Portal Recruiting (Opens December 5th)

Anyone have an idea what’s happening at Okie State? The mass exodus…
This okiestate homer puts the best light on it that you can, but its definitely a dumpster fire over there. What I found most interesting about this interview is a whole new take on the portal: For Gundy, Portal athletes are now allegedly the preferred recruits (over high school kids) because they'll be using their free transfer at that point and the coach doesn't have to worry about kissing a** to keep them from transferring again (at least not to the extent that you'd have to do with a high school kid). Plus portal players arrive with experience. That's the take:

There is some truth to that.
 
Mitchell apparently has a child and is wanting to be closer.
Kid has 4 CFB playoff touchdowns.
His speed wiuld be a welcome addition. Very excited for this if/when it goes down!!!
 
Regardless of the reason, I'm really surprised we didn't do more in the portal this winter.
Lots of previously Top 100 talent.

In positions of need.
 

Promises Made - Promises Unkept = Program Disaster

On another note, the NLRB is still alleging that the players are actually employees of the school and need to be paid for the hours they put in. (This would be in addition to the NIL payments.)
