Technically he could, I suppose, but if you're leaving you want to get in the portal while the market is wide open, not when the musical chairs has largely played out and options are more limited.  

It's a weird world.  Garrett Nussmeier was the heir apparent once Max Johnson xferred to A&M, but of course LSU brought in Jayden Daniels for 2022, who somewhat unexpectedly beat him out.  After 2022 when it was obvious Daniels would probably be the 2023 starter due to experience alone it was widely assumed Nussmeier would transfer.  Unusually, for this day and age, he stayed put and was happy to be a two year starter beginning in 2024.  For his troubles and loyalty, we're trying to bring in yet another portal QB.  For "depth" purposes, but it's obvious the staff doesn't care if Nuss gets beat out.  And that's their job, I suppose.  I'd like to see what Nuss can do with first team reps in practice and on-field experience.  He showed quite well against UGA in the SECCG last year when Daniels was knocked out of the game.  

No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.  

as a follow up thought on this

I think this is an obvious flaw in the portal system

The NCAA needs to correct this by not allowing portal use

until after the NC game

there is no reason why that couldnt be done

Is the Michigan game a singleton or the first of a 2-game series?

I'm interested because OU plays a 2-game series with Michigan starting with a game in Norman in 2025. I'd love to go to the 2026 game in Ann Arbor.

The Michigan game is a Home and Home but Mich wont play in Austin until 2027 due to SEC scheduling requirements

gotta be the first SEC team to play @Michiga & @Ohio State

weren't in the SEC back then

As I mentioned above, we're hosting Michigan in 2025 and returning the visit in 2026.

After that, we've got a bunch of holes in our OOC schedule, due to having to cancel scheduled games with Tennessee, Georgia, Bama, and LSU. After the Michigan series, we don't have P5 OOC opponents until Nebraska in 2029-2030, and then not again until Clemson in 2035-2016.

I'd like to see us schedule some old Big 8/Big 12 conference-mates. And some former Pac-12 schools probably have the same problem with holes in their OOC schedules as well. It would be good to get USC, U-Dub, or Oregon lined up for future series.
