OU will try to lock this up in the next couple days , at this point just hope it drags out some. If that happens this all bets are off.

Heard he entered with a do not contact so he’s all OU. What a dummy if that’s true they have 0 WRsIf we don’t get Mateer, that will be a bummer. Not many guys in the portal that are game changers.
With limited windows now, the next opportunity to bring someone in is after spring practice, yes?
THIS! Mateer is literally a NFL scouts wet dream with his athleticism too bad he won’t be able to show it off at OU bad OL no WRs good luck manIf this kid goes to OU with an offensively inept head coach, no WR's, and doesn't even come see what's down here in Miami who just had a first team All American, record setting, number one offense leading, top 5 draft pick, Heisman finalist QB from the very same school he is coming from..... Then I'm not sure of his decision making. Or OU is paying a truck load.
He may end up at OU but if it was such a done deal it would be done already. The fact he is fine with a crap load of QB needy schools blowing his phone up tonight makes anyone with half a brain think it isn't such a done deal.
Ya I saw somewhere on X that said UCLA, Indiana, UGA and someone else were the main ones linked to mendoza. Id def take him as a plan b type guy of Mateer falls thru but probably will be too late.I don't think Miami is after Mendoza despite the Columbus ties and the familiarity Cristobal and Mirabel have with Mendoza's father
Make the “NIL” competitive. If he plays well here he will get actual NIL deals. Ward proved that. Again I fully believe the best financial decision long term is to come here.Everybody says if he gets 4 million it’s a slam to Oklahoma. However, I find that hard to believe because yeah, he has $4 million now but he’s gonna want to win games. He’s gonna want to have people to throw to. He’s gonna want to guarantee an early first round pick.
Oklahoma is gonna try to guarantee his camp a lot of promises that they don’t have right now. And if that’s the case, there’s a whole lot of back channels and guarantees that were made. Cause I don’t see where they can guarantee a talented squad with all the portal exits that they’ve had to key positions on offense.
I was a Miller Moss guy tbh but I hate Venebales he’s a POS lolFirst upbeat and funny comment you've made in a while on this thread. Welcome to the "He-Man Oklahoma-journalism-sucks" club.
Sure, but when he gets fired at OU, I'd hire him as our next DC.I was a Miller Moss guy tbh but I hate Venebales he’s a POS lol
No announcement is expected today, according to SoonerScoop.com sources. But Oklahoma is hoping to have Mateer in Norman possibly as soon as Tuesday. The Sooners hope to close the deal and keep Mateer on campus for good.
OU isn’t the only major program expected to pursue the top quarterback in the portal. Mateer did not have a “no contact” tag on his entry in the portal. Rumors have swirled that Miami and Vanderbilt hope to get in the mix, as well as several other programs. At this point, it’s unclear if he will take any other visits.
John Mateer is in the transfer portal. What's next for OU football?
Washington State quarterback John Mateer is officially in the transfer portal. And OU is trying to close the deal quickly.www.on3.com
Uh ohhh backpeddling starting!
Oklahoma's people are REALLY confident.
If we hired Hartline, let our #1 WR walk, and then Jeremiah hit the portal, the writing is on the wall at that point. We might be nervous if Oregon was throwing mad money at him. But we'd still feel pretty **** confident, right?
That was the example someone at OU gave me.
How so, Jan?Sure.
And it would be an even better example if we were trying to get Jeremiah with no QB, no OL, and no other offensive skill position players.
But otherwise, it's a PERFECT comparison...
If we don’t get Mateer and the plan remains to get a portal QB it is not the end of the world. He is no Cam Ward and I believe we could still find a QB1 in the portal.
If it is Mateer or bust (Emory) and he doesn't come, yikes. You can kiss goodbye to all those good portal WRs we want (and maybe more). This would be a reason to panic.
