There's a large contingent of Oklahoma boosters and HS coaches who are angry with Lincoln for under-recruiting in-state talent. Pre-USC's season falling apart we were about to steal Gentry Williams from inside Tulsa and that was going to cause an uproar.Find it hard to believe that OU wouldn’t match that. They have the cash.
Also people on Twitter keep talking about how Louisiana is better than Oklahoma for recruiting which is true but people really forget that Oklahoma doesn’t rely on the state for recruits, the school is literally 3 hrs away from DFW (same time/distance as Austin) so they’ve always gotten tons of Texas recruits.
I mean I guess in Louisiana you don’t have another P5 school to compete with but I really don’t think LSU is THAT much better than OU from a recruiting standpoint.
I grew up in Texas and went to a HS that produces 4-5 stars on a pretty regular basis so that’s just my outdated opinion
There are some who are tired of Lincoln's way of doing things and aren't heartbroken over him leaving. That contingent doesn't want to match an offer that big. In the end they probably will, because it's a bad look to have teams from the conference you're about to join bully you for your head coach, but they're not eager to do it.
