MBB TPT2 TRANSFER PORTAL THREAD 2

We should still be able to field a good program. What recruits did FAU buy this year? How about Creighton, St Mary's, and SDS, three top 15 teams on Ken Pom?

Good coaches will still find a way to get good players into the program, develop them, and put them in a position to win. OU football wants to call itself a development program too. If we can't buy the very best recruits, BV and his staff better be able to find and develop kids. He (they) did that pretty well at Clemson, so hopefully its something he can do at OU as well.

"Not enough people care about OU basketball. Not enough wealthy donors care."

So "college sports" is now "wealthy donors sports?"
What a loss.

college sports has been about "wealthy donors " for a long long time

Tough to say. KU will also be hitting the portal hard because they lose three starters, and have had four or five guys enter the portal, so they have several spots to fill even after you account for their incoming freshmen.

Wheeler was signed to A&M by an assistant at KState. That assistant has kept a relationship…. He also has a little brother that is hood. He’s a good playmaker, but not the shooter Nowell was.

You can’t compare OU football and OU basketball. The donors are mobilized to do everything possible for OU football. I’m not worried about that. Our recruiting is ramping up to levels we haven’t seen in at least 20 years. The basketball program, on the other hand, has much less support. We can’t compete in recruiting with our regional rivals as of right now. Programs that are historically much lesser than OU. If that doesn’t change, we will sink even further.

I do agree that a much better coach would make a big difference and could get us farther with lesser talent. A better coach could find overlooked talent and piece together a competitive team, like the schools you mentioned.
