    Littrell and Joe Jon Finley get promotions, that was expected. I wanted Finley, I think he is good.

    It's not going to be a gamble after spring and fall practices. Guess it depends on their new OC.

    I think every portal guy we pursue should have at least 2 years left of eligibility. I think we should be planing for 2025

    I agree. We can reload a bit this year with the donation $, but we're starting from scratch.

    Economically I'd also prefer spending on guys that have used up the 'free' xfer instead of high school kids.

    If KJ wants a $1MM or even $500K we need to pass.

    He got 900K to stay at UPig this year- he'll get that again from someone

    Everybody talked about our OL being bad- we allowed 26 sacks- UPig allowed 47

    We dient want this guy 5 years ago. When he weighed 230. Sure don't want him weighing in a 280 at least not a QB. Now fullback or tightend, maybe.

    We did not have a bad OL, our QBs had plenty of time to throw the ball. Very under appreciated part of our team that we are losing.

    It would be a no brainer for most guys, but I think it speaks for the pull that Lebby has that it is even a question.
    I?ve listened to a couple Oklahoma sports talk radio and the feel is that OU is pushing Gabriel out to start a 5* Arnold to be the starting QB in 2024.

    We need to be super-efficient with our NIL money. We do not have 8 mil to just spend wildly. QB should be priority one, as it helps you win games to get momentum going. KJ would fit in nice as hell in this team. SO would a few others.

    My opinion is that Lebby needs a veteran QB who can run his system to buy him time to rebuild over the coming years. recruit a QB to wait behind and then move forward. Lebby has a system offense, which should help him find guys at g5 school to come in and fill gaps for lower $. get that QB at a cost and start building. We would be lucky to have a guy like KJ.

    I will take speed. Power tends to lead to injuries.

    Cam Newton would be worth 5 million in NIL with a National Championship. Dude was that good.
