NEWS: Mississippi State, Oregon, and USC have emerged as schools to watch for Oklahoma transfer QB Dillon Gabriel, sources tell

His name is Parson, Chris Parson. There is no "s" at the end.
Another factor is this: You get Gabriel, you attract other top talent at WR And TE.
Also will recruit for years to come. Have to show what we have and can do here. A lot harder to build after a bad year. No one will want to come. Show out and you'll have receivers, qb wanting to come in. Will have to pay then but maybe not as much or at least hopefully not have to pay more and could just match other offers and winQuote:

I love your enthusiasm but there are 21 other players out there. It is a team sport, and we are lacking greatly across the field on both sides. We need to see what else happens for us in the portal before we start assuming any kind of finish.Quote:

We need an infusion of talent desperately that will likely take a couple of cycles
exactly. Takes more than a QBQuote:

I don't wanna lose Thomas. I don't care about tulu bc of his piss poor effortQuote:

If someone doesnt fit your plan, they will be cut out and that money can be used elsewhere. Think of it as making room in the salary cap, if you will.
I hate to say it but that is how it is going to be from here on out.
B-b-b-b-b-but Z got the google money!!!Quote:

Edit to add: or is this just Google's money and we don't give a shit?
So where there was no hole, we have a hole. Honest question - where are the spots that are filled with a capable sec player going into 2024?Quote:

Interesting to me that Google could make money off Zavion Thomas lolQuote:

This whole thing is fcked.
Nobody ranks Rattler, Maye, or Sanders anywhere near the top 5 college QBs. Come on people.
We have a clear top 3 in Daniel's, Penix, and Nix, with Milroe and Gabriel rounding it out, maybe William's or Thomas or one of the Big 10 elites have an argument. And all of those teams are much better than 6-6.
Apparently UGA has already tampered their ass off to get him.Quote:

You think people rank Gabriel over Maye and Sanders? I mean come on. Rattler was one of the top portal QBs two seasons ago. He went 13-12.Quote:

Look - I want Gabriel, we should all want him, but the cupboard is pretty damn bare and we need bodies everywhere.
It was my understanding that it is monthly and they can stop and start at a moment's notice.Quote:

And Maye is playing w UNC players around him. Gabriel is playing w OU players around him Ever once cross your mind that it matters?????????????????????Quote:

Not that one, critical thinking is not a strength.Quote:

My point remains, at present, our roster is not good at all. We have lots of holes. Your now expectation w just Gabriel isn't realistic possible. But not realistic.Quote:
