Original Title: Brent Venables on OU’s recent transfer portal moves: “We’ve benefited from the portal more often than not. We’ve benefited from guys that are starters from where they’re leaving. They’ve left rosters where they’re starters and are having good careers. So, I’d be a hypocrite if I said it’s bad…”
Full quote:
"We’ve benefited from the portal more often than not. We’ve benefited from guys that are starters from where they’re leaving. They’ve left rosters where they’re starters and are having good careers. So, I’d be a hypocrite if I said it’s bad. What I like about college football, is it teaches you to have some stick-to-itness. This is the opposite of that in some ways. Things aren’t going your way, you’re free to just pack up and roll down the road. And that’s cool. Everybody has an opportunity to do that.
“I want to create a connected, healthy environment that is way beyond the X’s and O’s and tackling and catching and blocking. And that’s who I’ve been since the day I got here. I’ve lived a career that way. So I’m not going to change in that regard.”
Interesting because he’s from the Dabo coaching tree, where the transfer portal seems to be way more taboo.
