Soon, the Transfer Portal will be open again on Jan. 2 after the Oklahoma Sooners lost 33 players to it between last winter and spring. However, those losses proved not all are detrimental, especially with the Sooners in the College Football Playoff at 10-2, and a season later, it's clear that most didn't make the right move by leaving Norman.
No one will ever know how things would have actually worked out if these players stayed in Oklahoma, but for some who seemed like massive blows for the Sooners at the time, their next destination definitely wasn't the right place for them, which could be a warning for players looking to leave OU after this season.
