247Sports national college football writer Chris Hummer sorts out the transfer portal for OU and OSU

With the transfer portal on overdrive, how have Brent Venables and Mike Gundy responded? Pretty well, according to 247Sports national college football writer Chris Hummer. He joins Mind Games on the Sellout Crowd network to talk Venables’ success taking transfers who strengthen OU for the SEC, and Gundy’s success keeping key Cowboys from transferring out. Hummer considers whether Dillon Gabriel’s departure and Jackson Arnold’s entrenchment become a win/win for OU and Oregon, and whether Spencer Sanders is forever stamped a portal cautionary tale. From the portal it’s on to name, image and likeness, and Hummer’s recent 247 story in which 5-star high school recruits separated fact from fiction when it comes to their NIL earnings.
