  • team transfer issues??

    whats up guys! been a few months.
    is everyone having as many problems with the portal as we are?

    the regional schools around here seem to be using our roster as their personal practice squad.
    weve lost our starting nose and a rotational linebacker to north Texas because the North Texas LB transfered to OSU. of course Puckett has gone to OSU to sit on the 2nd team defense behind him. with Puckett, OSU has taken our starting RB and one of the rotating WRs. this makes 3 WRs, a running back and a linebacker in 2 years to OSU. MOST of these kids have received money reportedly.

    we lost one of our projected starting (at least 2 deep) olineman to OU. and 2 years ago we lost our punter to OU.

    we lost a 2 deep WR and punt returner and projected starter to Texas Tech for baseball. apparently hes draft material. never had Patrick Mahone money on my bingo card. kid told me personally that he received "a few bucks for the transfer"

    along with our starting nose, we lost 2 "expected" rotational dlineman transfer out. one to ACU and the other to Louisana Monroe (i think).
    1 transferred to NWMSU and i THINK he's a starter at oline for them a QB transferred to Pitt state last season.

    it's just ridiculous to see how many kids have been stripped from our roster in the last three years. i guess it's a product of the coaching staff. its good and bad problem to have i suppose.

    on a sad note, we lost Curlee who has been our offensive coordinator since 21 and won the d2 coordinator of the year in 24. noone (outside of the staff im sure) is positive but as of now, Dorrel will be calling the plays. he was pretty broken up when he announced it at the spring game. the OC has had his wife battling cancer for the last year and a half. nothing has been working for her and a couple of weeks ago she was sent home with a few weeks to few months left. Curlee is 31 and i guess shes a year or two younger than him. they have two boys under 6 or 7 maybe.

    gonna be a tough season schedule wise. at txwes, bye then to ark central then to washburn. we wont see the home field until almost october and only 4 home games. that sucks for senior season. really the worst.

    positive note to all of this change for us is, we beat southern nazarene 56-10 or something along those lines. can't remember if they scored again late or not. beating them is two fold really. we only scored 24 or so last year and it shuts them up on message boards for another year they arent exactly a GSC powerhouse but, it was a different team to hit and not many logistical decisions to be made.

    we'l l see. have a good summer. cant wait till August to get here.

    It's the same all over. UCO may be getting poached a little more by FBS where a lot of others are losing out to FCS.

    I think Pitt also had a RS freshman DL transfer in from UCO this year, btw.

    The QB was used a little as a slash type offensive player last season. I think he was more a bad fit at UCO than anything.

      probably. im guessing its the dorrel effect? forgot about our starting kicker for the last two years is now playing for OSU as well.

      the DL was a proejected rotational player or at least a significant contributor this year. yeh forgot about him as well. depressing to see lol.

        It's the reality of college athletics at all levels. Water finds it's level now. You're just not going to keep kids that can play at a higher level. College coaches are telling HS seniors go play this level and see where you are at in a year, then transfer.

          Unfortunately that's life in college football today.

            At first I was worried about the locker room culture, thought maybe Dorrel had lost the locker room. However, I do think it is just the reality of college athletics in 2026. On a side note, the roster seems to be as thin as I can remember. I am expecting to be 2-9 this year.

              Going from tying for a conf win to 6 and 5 to 2-9 in a 3 year span could be seen as a pretty concerning trend.

                although im not expecting as bad as 2-9, i think were going to be down somewhat this year. we have 4 home games this season and there are only 4 seniors left from that first Dorrel class.
                i didnt expect most of them to stay around because he was rushing to try and get a good class together, but i didnt expect it to be that few left.

                the play on offense is still going to be a question mark. Dorrel could be calling plays or being the final word on plays called. not sure. there is a new OC and i don't know much about him or what he runs. the job was being done well by Curlee and he suddenly quit with no warning. finding out later his wife had cancer at 29 (i think. she was young young though) and he moved back to Texas to be with family. she has since passed. sad deal. but it leaves us without his trusted associate head coach.

                we can't seem to catch a break in the last couple of seasons. with staff leaving for other jobs and family issues and this will be the second year in a row we've lost starters to d1 schools, we'll be fine this season. the kids are upbeat and trust what they're doing.


                on a positive note, we have 4 games on tv this season. im guessing its local tv but its a start. okc is just starting to take note of the UCO sports programs
