Wait so Colorado brought in 43 transfers this offseason and Oklahoma State took 50 and everyone is calling it genius roster building. Back in the 1997 Holiday Bowl season we had maybe two or three transfers total and the rest were kids who committed to Coach Smith and stayed through the dog days. You cannot tell me that 50 new faces walking into Stillwater is going to produce anything but chaos in the locker room. Coach Dooley always said chemistry is something you earn over years not something you buy in a single portal window. Oklahoma State is going to have guys who dont know the fight song let alone the snap count. And Colorado with 43 transfers? Deion Sanders is running a program like its a fantasy draft and I just dont see how that builds the kind of loyalty that made this game great. Remember when we had guys like Brock Olivo who bled black and gold for four years and then came back to coach? That is gone. The portal killed it. Now you have kids jumping ship the second a bigger NIL bag shows up and we are supposed to celebrate it as progress. I will take a team of homegrown kids who actually care about the M-I-Z chant over a roster full of mercenaries every single time.
