Kyle Lofton to Florida.

That changes things for Mo. When I posted Mo to Florida, I was told it was a done deal. It was supposed to happen the next day.

Things change. Such is recruiting.

Speaking of Mo

With Oklahoma1 and the new NIL stuff, are we really getting outbid by KSU and TCU? (legitimate question, bc basketball is a secondary revenue stream for the university)

If we have to be in a bidding war for him, let him go. "little brother" doesn't need him

Man, just a wild decision to leave OU to go play at a lesser program.

The KSU beat writer, who generally does a good job and doesn’t just throw wild speculation out there, mentioned Mo as someone to keep an eye on as the Cats look to finalize their roster. The fact he is even having to visit DePaul should be an ego check.

KSU makes a ton of sense. Familiarity with asst Jareem Dowling (North Texas) and he'd get the ball in his hands, a lot. I'd stay at OU over KSU but I get why he'd play there. Same with Florida (when that was a strong likelihood).

Chicago is a great city and all, just ask Porter, but I'd crawl over broken glass, begging Moser to take me back before I laced it up with the Blue Demons. Winning is still important and DePaul is not going to win many games with/without Mo.

Pretty clear at this point Mo is looking for a bag of more than OU can give.

Wow, good for Huggy. Is it known if he was unhappy at UT or was it Beard spring cleaning?

Edit: I got their bigs mixed up. This dude left the team and hardly played.

Agreed. I was on board with him becoming a Sooner under the impression that he actually wanted to be one.

TCU, yes. Heard that they have 250k alloyed for basketball. I doubt KSU. They just offer unlimited playing time on a bad roster.


Also at TCU their is a relationship with Mikey Miles.

That's tough. Well, let's hope the staff has some other potential options.

So did we get stymied here by a Twitter troll?

Much more about playing Pg for mo.

Coach probably knows for sure but I bet it had something to do with it.

My guess on the guilty party (pretending to be Peter Dancer) - https://twitter.com/zack_tretheway

Oklahoma State fan, Peter Dancer's first follower, both are Jets fans, OKC fans, NBA fans in general, you get it. I could be wrong but I feel strongly about it being Zack after about 5 minutes of research, lol.

Let me get this straight.... You've chosen a school to further your academic and athletic career...pretty big deal in life. So then you are going to completely back out and choose a different school because some douchebag on twitter let the cat out of the bag early on your announcement? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I doubt it was the only reason or even main reason lol but could it have changed things? Maybe. Other teams could have caught wind of the "commitment" and increased their pressure/offer.

Council to Arkansas. Most probably saw/knew that though.

WOW ISU just got significantly better. Lofton and Osunniyi were supposed to play together. That changed, obviously.

If no one else portals in, is OU plus, minus or even with player movement?
