Winning the Right Battles: Oklahoma’s Path Through the Portal and the SEC

In this episode of the Sooner Nation Podcast, we strip away the hype and take an honest look at where Oklahoma actually stands — not where fans hope it is. We start in the transfer portal, breaking down why the Sooners’ pursuit of Auburn wide receiver Cam Coleman is far more uphill than headline-driven coverage suggests, and what missing on a player like that really says about the SEC arms race. From there, we shift to a portal conversation that does feel real — North Texas running back Caleb Hawkins, a foundational, SEC-ready back who fits Oklahoma’s needs, identity, and trajectory. On the hardwood, we examine why Oklahoma’s blowout win over Mississippi Valley State mattered more than the score, revealing depth, trust, and sustainability as SEC play approaches. And we close with the Oklahoma City Thunder, breaking down the defining third quarter against Atlanta that showed why championship teams don’t just win games — they decide how games are played. #SoonerNation #BoomerSooner #OklahomaSooners #SoonersFootball #SoonersBasketball Learn more about your ad choices.
