So Riley knew when he faced the SEC teams that his Sooner roster could not match up. He also realized he could not attract the type of talent to Norman that he could get to USC. National talent. Riley has been in 4 of the 8 postseason playoffs. That’s enough to get a good idea of what is needed and where to get it. I’m still not buying there was no contact before the bedlam game. But it’s irrelevant. Riley was the best hire of the off-season. No question.
