You would think they'd at least spell his name (Du'Vonta Lampkin) correctly.
Sad and senseless to die so young.
Always sad to see. If I remember correctly, this is the guy that texsa people said he purposely failed a foregin language class so as to get out of his commitment to them. So much talent. Prayers for family and loved ones
ha, I'm okay with it. Let people think we're trotting out a walk-on receiver who was his high school wishbone QB, and that all these guys are better.
I don't really know if Venables uses "disrespect" as a motivator as much as Stoops and TBOW did, but if he does... He's got a ton of ammo going into this year.

I don't know that I would go as far to say that TBOW used disrespect as a motivator. He did get very offended by it but basically said, "Hey you don't say that!" And that was it.

I guess I'm mostly thinking about the "not bad for a bunch of pretenders" line after the Ohio State game. Seemed like he used preseason media talk to get the guys going. Of course, he usually got either too much praise ("best play caller ever") or specific criticism that couldn't be disputed, ("defense is soft and doesn't want to tackle"). Hard to use that last one as a motivator unless you go out and prove it wrong.

Yea, he might have used that. But he still had Schmidty built guys at that point. I guess I'm more of referencing the last season of Jazzercize built players lol
Don't believe DG is a portal guy. Believe he is a Grad Transfer.
But that may be on the looooong list of things I don't know
hmmm... I guess it's not impossible to graduate in 3 years, so maybe that is the case. But, I'd think that either the soonersports.com bio or wikipedia would mention that he graduated.
I think it's more likely that this ranker just isn't giving him any respect.
Edit: No, you're absolutely right, though it does appear he was technically in the portal, according to this si article.
"Gabriel announced last month that he was transferring to UCLA, but as a graduate transfer, that was not a hindrance to another relocation. He entered the transfer portal on Nov. 27, and on Dec. 16 said he would continue his career in Westwood."

Kedon Slovis was a grad transfer too so they just aren't giving DG any credit at all.
