Well, this is his chance to focus for the next 11 months so he can make it in the league. If he half-asses it here, then it's a **** shame and he's wasting a fresh start that is teed up for his large success. I'll hope he takes this professional approach until I see otherwise. The teams will be watching and listening - let's hope he knows that.

Yeah; I would have to think he’s coming here to get drafted on a one yr lease. Hoping he revisits that sophomore yr.

My only concern is the logjam at WR. Are the pups going to get a real shot at competing? I want a real competition where nothing is handed to anyone. To me, the only solidified starters at our receiver positions (including TE) is Harley & Mallory. Everyone else should be fighting it out & may the best one wins, including Rambo.

Can't disagree with any of this. If we're not hungrier in the WR room, it will cost us at least 2 games minimum next season. That room already cost us our bowl game.

Can we get an OG transfer

RIGHT! I hear the board complain about needing a corner, wideout, and linebacker, deservedly so, but a true road grader at guard is needed just as badly. We were pathetic in short yardage situations. we got absolutely no push from our center and guards all year. Hopefully Donaldson's return helps, but the situation needs addressed.

Just a FYI;

Spoke to a buddy of mine who played b-ball for OU back in the 80’s & is good friends w/ Switzer. He said Rambo got his lunch taken by true freshman Mims & it was due to work ethic. Said Rambo will give u some amazing moments & then he would just loaf. Said Riley, Gundy & Simmons used to get on him for half a$$ing.

He assumes his breakout sophomore yr was more/less manufactured by the attention Lamb was getting, and when he was supposed to be WR1 this yr, he disappointed. He said if we can keep him motivated, we are getting a good one, but don’t look for him to be a WR1 type.

I told him he can’t be no worst than what we have behind our WR1, so he should be a good WR2 at least. His reply? “Who’s ur WR1?” 🤷🏾‍♂️

If he isn’t motivated by being in a contract year than so be it. But I think most guys in this spot are very motivated.

I am saying Rambos film didn’t impress me. I used the Montana kid as an example, not to change the conversation into whether we should’ve taken Toure over Rambo.

Another 6’1 guy with mediocre production, even coming from a WR friendly offense that produces Heisman candidates on a regular basis. This is not the guy I would’ve went after, especially after Harley decided to come back. Similar players, and Harley knows the offense and culture.

I don’t know who else is in the portal or what our other options were. But 6’1 with film that doesn’t show him attacking the ball... I have to think we could’ve done better. That’s all I’m saying.

My eyes don’t see anything like Harley. Guy looks much bigger and more physical.

If anything this is a thank you to da KING for staying one extra year. He deserves this on that alone.

Watch the catch at 4:24, goes up for the deep ball and catches in traffic, Pope & Wiggins cant make that play. 2nd half highlights show a few catches over his head with his hands. He does look like Mike Harleyish but a step faster and better hands. Certainly not an amazing NFL top 3 round pick-up but better than Pope/Wiggins and I'm thrilled for more competition. Solid pick-up. If get much 5+ more IC's would be happy for another.

If one of Pope/Wiggins/Payton/Daz transfer out and we trade for Rambo that's a win.
