NORMAN — There was no scrambling in the OU football offices leading up to Wednesday’s National Signing Day.
The Sooners didn’t even send out a single National Letter of Intent to a recruit, much less have to hold their breath that they’d get one back.
In adding Micah Bowens, Robert Congel, Eric Gray, Key Lawrence and Wanya Morris, the Sooners made additions over the last month through the transfer portal rather than signing high school or junior college players.
“That honestly made today a lot easier because then kind of the last part of the plan was, if there’s something that we need that we don’t get in the transfer portal, then we could look to sign them out of high school today,” Sooners coach Lincoln Riley said.
