Would you not change companies and move to a new state for a million dollar signing bonus? Yes? Then why would a college athlete not?
Caleb wouldve never been in the portal If Riley doesn't leave. Why leave when he's a Heisman candidate, playoff contender? He could make just as much at Oklahoma. He's not making more by going somewhere else.

not true. oklahoma was offered the opportunity to match usc's offer and declined. same as riley. for the amount of money each were getting OU would rather spend on "someone who's won it already" (verbatim for both).
and now ucla and usc are upping the ante. it's strictly business for the williams family, but the offer at OU is currently non-competitive.

CALEB ISNT IN THE PORTAL WITHOUT RILEY LEAVING. Oklahoma was never keeping Caleb as soon as Riley walked out the door. If they want to make themselves feel better by saying they didn't want to pay that's fine. They had no chance at keeping Caleb.

we will see how long that holds up. I fear the day we lose a player like Forbes b/c Bama or Georgia need a corner.

Bama or Georgia don't put themselves in those positions.

Bama wouldn't have made the national championship had they not picked up Jameson Williams from Ohio State and To'o to'o from UT.

Williams was on the bench at Ohio state and To'o wasn't needed at Bama they had returning starters at the LB position. You're providing my point. Bama doesn't put themselves in that position. We build a team from it. Bama builds depth.

Yep but again a guy who wasn't starting & a guy who had a coaching change.

Caleb was always entering the portal and the Williams are all about the bottom line right now. He was getting a pay day with NIL. Maybe OU ups the ante if Riley stays, but Riley leaving was not the determining factor for him / his family.
And this isn't my opinion, this is coming from the fact that I'm privy to way more OU information than you (just as your privy to way more MSU information than me.) I would hope my profile picture speaks for itself, but you can go back and check that I said Brent / Lebby combo the day after Riley left as that decision was made immediately.

We'll agree to disagree.

This is a pretty weak take. If Leach isn't doing a good job then why would these kids choose MSU? Of course the assistants are doing the heavy lifting. That's what Leach hired them to do.

Money has always been involved, just not publicized (except OM and Auburn).

I love Forbes, but are you sure he's starting at either place?

Good post! Leach has been involved in a lot of these recruits. Lot of home visits.

Pretty weird take, I’ve never seen a fan base discredit the HC when good recruits sign with a school

Yip!

I know for a fact Leach has been involved personally in getting some of our big targets signed. He's also got former Bulldog stars involved to help as well. This crap about leach not recruiting is mostly a myth. Geez
