Transfer Portal 2025

on the bright side, Bob P said that Tae Davis is trending in the other direction. Maybe signifies we feel confident about other targets (tre white, stillwell, etc.)

I was told the exact opposite from someone else. Bob is…not great.

Broken foot.

So if we take him we are counting on 3 guys coming off an Achilles, a bad back, and a broken foot? Counting on that is akin to me putting my mortgage on red in Vegas.

He seems to be down to OU and Vandy....unless something changed/changes.

He was supposed to visit SMU after Vandy but I don't see any signs that he did. I think OU reached out and got him to Norman instead. But that's just gut + reading the ON3 SMU board (good reporter, didn't report him at SMU).

Kentucky, St John's, and USC don't want him. Agent fluff, initial contact (Muss contacts every damn portal entry lol).

UK wants to win, they would never take Collins to start. Pope is trying to keep his job. UK fans:

Frankie's next stop will be his 9th.

Even in this portal/NIL era, it's insanely gross to be that nomadic basketball-wise....especially as a lead guard. It's also quite amazing that he wears out his welcome and the schools he left are okay with him leaving. TCU will now get better (I know he only played 9 games...but he frees up a spot).

This staff sucks, man. They need a GM, desperately. Moser's undoing will be his inability to evaluate talent and putting together a complete roster.

Regardless of limping into the tourney, Moser's on a hot seat and taking Frankie (if it happens) shows a stubbornness beyond belief.

disagree. pm has proven he can evaluate talent. he's brought in some pretty good players. he's also attempted to bring in some pretty good players that for whatever reason....he was not able to seal the deal. he tried to get pedulla and garrison last year and a few others i can't remember off the top of my head.
those would have made a "complete" roster. if it came down to not having enough money to compete....u can't blame pm for that. do you expect him to pull 5 cheap rabbits out of his hat that turn into all conference players?

I don’t think this would be good news. Tae Davis is a pretty good offensive player who will space the floor. His defense is bad but so was Jalon Moore’s (and we probably aren’t getting Tre). He’s also taller than Moore and I expect will rebound better.

I agree with you. If you add Jadon Jones and Jeff Nwankwo to last year's team, I expect we would have been happier with the outcome and felt like we had a complete team with a weak 5 spot. What was missing was size / athleticism on the wing, defensive stoppers, and rebounding from the guard positions. Adding those two guys means Elvis and Goodine are not trying to stay in front of Oweh in those two Kentucky games or get a rebound late in the Miss State game, etc.

Think bob p misspoke a little.

Not a lot of smoke from Davis since tues.
lot of Collins smoke but nothing official

That free throw shooting percentage is a deal breaker.

NEXT.

When you pg is unplayable down the stretch of a close game because he can't make FT's.

OU should be better than that.

Who knows, maybe he is really good at inbounding the ball, which would help us actually get the ball in and avoid him being the guy having to shoot free throws. (Kidding, obviously. Those FT numbers for a lead guard are beyond scary.)

My thoughts exactly

And IIRC, Jones also missed some time last season with an injury unrelated to his back.

 

[pnkranger]

I do not want Tae Davis more than a lot of you don't want Frankie Collins. Terrible defender. Like, Kobe Elvis level.

There tends to be a trend to Moser's Portal recruiting each year. Usually overcompensating for what didn't work the year before. Too early to see the trend this year, other than wanting better rebounding from his 4, it appears.

 

[BulldogSooner]

My deal is this. If Jones is the shooter we were led to believe and Forsythe improves even a little, we don’t need more shooting. Need a ball handler who can break the defense down. Collins fits that role.

I’d like to see ou overcompromise and land 2-3 monster big men. Don’t see that happening though.

I'd settle for one. Still a mystery of the universe how random small schools can get better Centers than we do. Much better in some cases.

Haha, that's $3 million or so. OU has less than half of that.
