OU’s “Champ BBQ Weekend” turned out to be a giant wet fart. They landed Jandreau because his parents pushed him to stick with his brother. They landed a kicker. They landed a 3 star Edge over UCLA and Colorado. 

Throughout the weekend, Nagy was live tweeting hints at big things about to happen, getting posters worked up. I’ve listened to this guy over the years and there’s always been a hypeman element to him trying to rally viewers and participants to the Senior Bowl in Mobile. I didn’t realize that would carry over into OU GM territory. It’s gotten to where the sooner posters have rapidly gone from “Trust Nagy!” to mocking his tweets. It’s glorious to witness. 

Afterwards, multiple other “big” targets indicated to the Sooner Illustrated mods that they were now looking elsewhere. The overriding theme? Oklahoma is poor. They wanted competitive offers to compare to other schools and they didn’t get them. 

They lost an IOL from Pasa-get-down-Dena! who is now choosing between TCU and UH. The guy went to OU this weekend, the mods said OU felt really good about the visit, then they spoke to him later in the day and he said he was choosing elsewhere. 

Same story for a 4 star DT they really wanted. 

They’re also all over a WR named Dandridge that Georgia really wants and expects to land. The mods are trying to keep hope there while clearly concerned.

The mods and a board “insider” are all now talking about OU prioritizing the portal over HS recruiting and telling board denizens to stop focusing on the HS recruiting rankings. In the span of 48 hours. “Expect fireworks in the portal in December!”

That program is heading south in a hurry. They’ll have a decent team this year, but sustaining any bounce back will be elusive.

Is the house settlement not helping the gooners at all? It seems like they are careening into a Nebraska level downturn.

OU figuring out they’re fucked in high school recruiting this early is unfortunate. I had hoped Nagy would run his head into the wall for 2 more years. 
 

I imagine they’ll go head to head with Tech for the top portal mercenaries and lose often. Their only pitch is playing in a better conference/chance at revenge against Texas.

I suppose their next move will be confetti gunning offers at track meets.

I really want them to be good enough to keep BV around this year, but I don't know if i see it happening with that schedule.

It doesn't make any difference. If they're recruiting high school around the level of Nebraska, Georgia Tech, etc., there's no way they can supplement via the portal even if they were in a position of financial strength there... which they aren't. They are incredibly fucked with a lame duck, meathead coach and quite a few key contributors set to leave after this year. They basically need Mateer to be Mayfield 2.0 and then also stay for his final year of eligibility in 2026. There is no prospect of a turnaround given their recruiting and development under Venables. Nagy already seems like a complete disaster. We beat them in softball. They are in hell from here on out.

The House settlement is a burden to any program without a ton of money. It adds to the mix of capital that the program needs to raise each season. I'm sure SEC revenue growth and playoff dollars will come in handy for OU eventually, but they aren't there yet. 

The House settlement "helping" is when schools like ATM use it as an excuse to just start paying guys whatever the fuck they want from their own coffers.

If they do just well enough this year to keep Venables, I'm all for it.

One of my biggest regrets is not adequately relishing OU’s misfortune during the 90s. I didn’t know many Sooners and they had sucked most of the time I’d been aware of college football. I was more concerned with getting over on atm. 
 

But if I ever get another opportunity to bask in the glory of an OU dumpster fire again, I will not take it for granted. I will soak up every moment. I will wallow in it like a pig in shit. Especially if we can experience success during that same period. Oh please, may this apparent implosion become a reality!
 

May those shit bags’ deepest aspirations soon be to win a single conference game. May they long to achieve the national status of Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. May they become the laughing stock of the entire country. Let it be so!

Thank you for that summary. It verifies what I’ve been thinking to myself every time I see a comment. House didn’t create new money for anyone. It just establishes that Schools can share revenue with athletes (at least that’s my understanding).  For most schools, all revenue (and then some) is eaten up by overhead so it’s not like they’ve had $20 million just laying around waiting to be disbursed.

He actually let them know he wasn't interested instead of ghosting them. You were close, though.

Yeah, it also doesn’t create more good players. My thought is that will help a tad with retention for programs that previously had nothing and it will help lower to mid tier players earn some more.

The whole bitch fit about the playoff format is really about subsidizing the payroll of the P2 schools through CFP payouts. Each school in the conference will get around $24 million annually if they go with the 4 auto bids per school. 
 

So, in theory, OU should not be affected unless they are doing some dumb shit with their finances.
