With the Transfer Portal officially opening on Friday, the Oklahoma Sooners really have no dire needs to get from the portal -- that is as long as they trust in what they've already built and keep that foundation in place.

As of Monday, four days before the portal opens and 10 days since OU's season ended with a loss to Alabama in the first round of the College Football Playoff, the Sooners had seven players lined up to transfer. Of the group, only linebacker Kobie McKinzie was a surprise and a real contributor this season, but even he ended the year as a reserve.
