The winter portal was incomplete. We addressed very few needs.

I may be reading it wrong, but I don't think he is saying thd winter portal haul was complete. I think all he is saying is that it started slow and we ended up getting good players and that might happen here again.

Interesting article



Very good read

This is an excellent breakdown from Oklahoma on David Stone

Column: Who's to Blame for Oklahoma's Debacle With David Stone? There's Plenty to Go Around

Stone and family need to get on same page about his future at OU, while Sooners' power structure must not make an avoidable mistake in the transfer portal.

That article is very informative but the author is an absolute clown who should 1) just embrace GPT and let it do the analysis for him and 2) not throw young student athletes and their families under the bus with baseless vague speculation about their character.
 
Every fan of every team thinks their team is the only team with holes in the roster. We also don’t know what kids who didn’t play last year have taken the next step. It’s tiring.

I don’t understand why ya’ll can’t grasp the idea of us addressing CB and QB in the winter portal but still need WR, LB, and more Safeties and DL, lol. Does addressing the CB room after it being the worst position group at UM since I’ve been alive just override falling short at several other spots? Why is it so hard for some of you to be objective and look at things without O&G glasses? Honest question? The reason we are all active on this portal forum right now is because we still have A LOT of needs. So what is the issue with someone saying the portal haul was incomplete? Is that false?

All depends on what position we take personal.

Listen, you'll get no argument out of me. I personally believe Mario has been a failure thus far. The end of last season really did it for me. And this sure as **** is not an elite staff. Well, at least it wasn't remotely close to that years 1-3. Let's see how they fair this year.

Mario has to WIN, not just make the ACCG this year. And of course make the playoffs. Anything less in year 4 is a complete and utter failure.

Someone will find a way to refute this though, because he’s Saint Cristobal and the best we’ve had in decades.

I really do think people on here are scared the money and donations to the program will simply disappear if he’s replaced, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

But as you said, he must win this year. There’s no more excuses, it’s Year 4. If you can’t make the ACCCG in year 4, he’s just not going to succeed here. We cannot afford to give him 10 years with how the landscape is changing.

Success needs to be asap.

Meanwhile there is another thread saying how strong Mario is on his stance about re-negotiating... Alternatively, there is a middle road...

We not only need to keep the players we have, we also need to fill the many gaps on the roster.

This was all very predictable and the $80 million man at the helm needs to get it done, get it right and win.
