Well, you have to admit, it was pretty hilarious that he went to OU to win a national championship and had to watch as Vince did it 2 years later lol.

That's honestly the greatest thing I ever read from a recruit.

"I'm going to ou to win a championship"

Oops. And you lost to UT 2-1 while you were there. Reminisce about those glory days in college, Adrian. 

[Scholz 12324]

He scored 1 career TD vs UT

I remember being fairly bummed when we missed out on Earle. Recruiting is a funny thing. 

Same for me with Denver Harris.

It feels like the quality in the portal isn’t quite what we’ve seen the last few years at a similar point in the calendar. A lot of factors in play with the expanded playoff and revenue sharing coming up, but I think I personally underestimated this being one of the quietest coaching carousels in a while. Not as many head coaches getting fired. especially P4 guys, which usually is tied with player movement.

On the flip side it could set up for a wild 2025 portal cycle with how many programs are entering the season with coaches on the hot seat.

I have a feeling there will be a lot of assistant coaches moving once the playoffs are done. Hopefully Texas doesn’t lose any.

Exactly.  Pretty sure he's considered a player of no small renown in the league

Good God we need some Portal action to come back alive so that the Adrian Fucking Peterson talk will go away….

I know nothing about Harris' recruitment except he was coveted. Were there signs about what was to come? Did Texas pursue him ardently?

Is there any thought that Hawkins might take his talents into the portal after OU replaced him?   Because OU having zero depth at QB next season would amuse me.

They brought in the QB transfer from Western Carolina earlier this week.

I don't know why Hawkins would stay to compete for the backup job. But I also don't think he will have many starting jobs waiting for him elsewhere. He isn't very good.

They've already signed two starters from other teams out of the portal.  They  probably aren't dumb enough to count on needing to use him.

[kevwun 16461]

I don't imagine many teams will be beating down Hawkins' door.

[Skipper 6416]

Hawkins is a true freshman that had absolutely no business playing this year and was stuck in a garbage offense with shit talent across the board.  I'm not saying he's a future star, but saw some potential there to grow into something.  Seems like a good fit for a mid tier program that would give him time to learn/improve.

[WBT 21154]

Doesn't Hawkins supposedly love ou?  Might have been that his dad went there?

Yep - link:  Oklahoma Sooners add another transfer portal quarterback

Spoiler

December 25, 2024 10:32 am CT

 

The Oklahoma Sooners made a splash via the transfer portal when they added former Washington State quarterback and the top player in this year’s portal class, John Mateer. But the Sooners weren’t done at quarterback, adding Western Carolina signal caller Cole Gonzales.

Gonzales started 22 games in three seasons with the Catamounts, completing 63.5% of his passes for 6,445 yards, 49 touchdowns, and 20 interceptions. On non-sack rushing attempts, Gonzales averaged 5.4 yards per carry and ran for 701 yards and three touchdowns.

In 2023, he was the 2023 Southern Conference Player of the Year and was a two-time first-team All-Conference selection. Last year, he completed 66.1% of his throws for 2,547 yards, 26 touchdowns and threw just six interceptions in 11 games. That year, Gonzales threw for five touchdown passes three times and six games with more than 250 yards passing.

In 2024, he completed 61.7% of his passes for 2,545 yards and 12 touchdowns and threw seven interceptions this season. Gonzales was really efficient in the deep passing game, with a 45.5% completion percentage on throws greater than 20 yards down the field. That was good for sixth in the FCS among quarterbacks with at least 44 pass attempts on deep throws.

In the 2024 season opener against N.C. State, Gonzales threw for 211 yards and two touchdowns, completing 62.9% of his passes. He also carried the ball six times for 78 yards, according to Pro Football Focus, who removes sacks from rushing totals.

Against Furman, in week eight of the 2024 season, Gonzales threw for 620 yards and five touchdowns.

In Gonzales, the Sooners add more quarterback depth to the roster to go along with Mateer, Michael Hawkins Jr., and 2025 signee Jett Niu. He’ll have one year of eligibility remaining in 2024.

What other portal DL's are we in contact with outside of the Washington State and Utah ones?

The Peter Woods rumors just a myth?

Also, take it FWIW (I don't believe it), but someone on 247 is claiming Broughton may use his Covid year and return.

To be fair, he is a true freshman who should not have been playing this year. Venebals is a moron. Jackson Arnold sucks so bad he was benched for a guy who has zero concept of mechanics and just runs. That's it. At this point he doesn't do anything else. That should tell you how awful Arnold is.

Was t this year his portal year?  Or did he also restart outside of the portal?

Looking at his roster profile, looks like he’s out of eligibility. Played two games in 2020, then played in every game since.
