re: OU wins bidding war for DT Damonic Williams; Oklahoma selling government bonds to finance.

Yep, these kids that chase the money and are purely motivated by the highest NIL bids are not players I would want in our program. Been there.

That's the biggest challenge for any program today. Sifting through all the crap to land players who truly want to be developed, understand that nothing is given to your in life and ideally they recognize the opportunities provided to them as student athletes.

Unfortunately, these kids are harder and harder to find. Up to the recruiting staffs to try to weed through it all.

What happened with Damonic is a perfectly example. I would bet that he leaves OU for the highest bidder after this season unless OU was able to do a 2-year deal committment.

Either way, congrats OU. A very nice pickup for a position of great need. Kudos.
