Football question

[WichitaSooner]

well i will defer to brent v ... who very much thinks sullivan is better then kobie ... ( as well as every other big time DC in college football )

Sullivan has three years left, so it makes sense he was more coveted in the portal. That doesn’t mean he will be the better player this season. Like most things I say, no one seems to actually read what I said. My statement was that Kobie is likely to be a better player this season.

And as good a defensive coach as Brent is, he isn’t perfect. He is also the guy who recruited the guys who are leaving, and some of you have been awfully quick to trash those guys since they entered the portal. Wasn’t too long ago that we brought in another portal LB who everyone expected to be a stud based on his freshman year at Indiana, and that didn’t exactly pan out.

And feel free to do your coach impression and laugh at posts you don’t like. I’ve read about five national columns discussing portal classes and none have us at the top of the rankings. We have clearly reached the point where we are bargain shopping. Adding depth is good and I’m all for it. But ideally you do that after bringing in starters at your weaker positions.

Why are you comparing Sullivan to kobie? Sullivan is taking Sammy O position, which is why Sammy is leaving. I’d prefer to keep everyone but that’s not possible in the new CFB landscape. Kobie lost snaps to Heineke who outplayed him by quite a bit. Kobie is a great kid and a good player. I wish he was staying but he has one season left and needs more PT than he was going to get at OU. No hard feelings. This is how the game is played now unfortunately. Guys don’t stick if they’re not getting enough PT and they have other offers to make money. I’m sure Brent hates it but he has to keep recruiting better talent every year. It is what it is.
