Mr. P Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 15 hours ago, oldschool32 said: So my question is if you're OU do you re recruit this kid I sure wouldn't. Re-recruiting is absurd. He's already in the program (for now), what more does he need to know about OU? I get it. I mean, I don't like it, but I get it. This is the new normal, it is what it is. For OU, they need to go ahead and operate under the assumption he isn't coming back. . For Caleb, he needs to take a hard look at what is truly the best place for him.

His mid-range passes tend to float, however. Pocket mobility is well above-average though he's much less of a dual-threat runner than Caleb Williams. I see him as comparable to Baker, with better pressure sense than Rattler. The upside is that he's gameday ready from the get-go, he already knows Lebby's and vice-versa. My main concern is his effectiveness in OU's depleted line and durability. OU's starting QB is gonna get knocked around quite a bit next year.

Money now, instead of working and developing in a program that can help get you to the league quicker. Bouncing around and having to start learning new systems puts them behind the 8 ball wherever they land. I believe it’ll hurt most of their draft status, except the freak athlete players 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and, if not corrected with some reasonable parameters, it will hurt college football. I think most of us can already see how it already has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of us can already see how it already has. College Football needs a massive correction. Or rather, several massive corrections. NIL is a big one. Those loopholes need to be patched fast (and I say that as a fan of a team who no doubt benefited greatly from NIL this recruiting cycle). Otherwise, it's going to make the problem of it "always being the same 5-6 teams competing" even worse. Bowl games are another big one. There are far too many bowl games and in late August, ESPN is already talking about "Who are the 4 in?!" and rattling on and on about "meaningless bowl games". Ergo, players opt out, fan interest dies, and teams play in front of largely empty stadiums. Teams should not go to a bowl because they won 6 games. Using A&M as an example, the only 2 bowls A&M should've gone to in the last 15+ years are the Cotton in 2012 and the Orange in 2020. I feel like a team needs to have a big/special season to go to a Bowl. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 I'm already operating under the assumption he's gone, and at this point I really don't care where he goes. A real bummer too. I thought he was a program guy. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
