OU is dead last in the league in:
It's clear that OU has serious problems in the paint, on defense, with athletic ability, and at running this offense with all the turnovers. Can't rebound, can't block shots, can't take care of the ball or run the offense.
OU loses Goldwire.. but has Alston, Cortes, and Milos Uzon. Are one of those guys going to be able to run the team? Alston and Cortes are iffy as hell to me.
Absolutely nothing has been done in recruiting so far to address all the other issues.
Why hasn't the #1 rebounder in junior college, and #1 overall player, who is 6'10'' and 4 hours away from Norman been offered a scholarship? Mississippi State, Maryland, West Virginia, Oregon, Ole Miss, and others seem to think he's worthy. OU has not offered him a scholarship.

Why hasn't the #1 junior college point guard, and # 3 overall juco player been offered a scholarship? Daniss Jenkins from Odessa CC in Texas. 6 hours away from Norman. 6'3'' 185... Averaging 15 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds per game on 42% 3pt shooting. An obvious athletic upgrade.

Why hasn't the Da'Sean Nelson from Kilgore CC in Texas been offered a scholarship? 5 hours away in the Dallas area... 6'8'' wing/forward with serious athletic ability who can guard lots of positions. Averaging 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists... Tweener, but a versatile player. Cincy, Depaul, SMU, A&M, etc on him... You aren't.

Porter..... don't make me accuse you of recruiting negligence like the previous regimes. You should be using your weight as the University of Oklahoma to get these guys in the region. You aren't even trying.... You are bringing in one year rentals like Goldwire, Marvin Johnson, Chargois, etc and setting up major turnover again.
You are taking guys from Germany, Nevada, and New Jersey and totally ignoring dudes in your backyard again. If that German dude turns into Matt Freeman, Hannes Polla, or Anyang Garang and you went 5,000 miles to get him and wouldn't offer a dude who can help right now in your own backyard, you're gonna be hearing from me.
If you're plan is to win in the transfer portal.... you better actually win. I wouldn't call this first haul of transfer portal guys a big win.
