more kids committed right now than the last two years combined at this point save a spot season fully underway across the country
There’s a lot of dudes with character issues in that class, especially your crown jewel Lewis. It’s a solid class for Pruitt but I think it finishes between 10-15.
Saw that. I figure we have a better shot with Leigh than Rucci anyway but man I want Rucci, he’s a stud.
Hard to argue with an OL going there. I’d still be surprised if we don’t land him, though. Hasn’t met our new OL coach yet.
Drumm over at the Oklahoma 247 site is completely out of touch with reality. Called out by a couple high profile recruits this week for making stuff up, suggesting the only reason they might not get Mondon is because Carter ended up at Clemson, and saying they have a really good shot at landing 8 of the top 20 players. I’ll take some of what this guy is smoking.
I don't think anyone truly knows tbh. UF folks think it's UGA/UF, UGA guys think it's UGA/Bama and Bama guys just think it's Bama. He's the OLB I really want in this class, but I do think Bama has the inside track with him.
Sorey should just go wherever the closest P5 school is. It's dangerous out there and probably best to be close to home.
He's a Sunshine pumper for sure. Did he do the Monkell Goodwine write up that had Monkell tweeting it's BS? OU hasn't been recruiting him for a bit now. Drumm is a dumb dumb I'm not a subscriber at 247, but I do use the 247 for looking at prospects profiles bc they are the king for that. Josh_M, at Soonerscoop (rivals), is the best recruiting guy that covers OU by a significant margin. Top guys that OU has a shot at: Caleb Williams Camar Wheaton Donovan Edwards Emeka Egbuka Mario Williams (committed) Cody Jackson (committed) Jalil Farooq Christian Leary Malcolm Johnson Jr Tristan Leigh Bryce Foster Latrell McCutchin Kelvin Gilliam Clayton Smith (committed) Marcus Burris Shemar Turner Kendal Daniels Nathan Rawlins-Kibonge Prophet Brown (as DB) De-Jahn Warren (JUCO - Scheduled OV so I'll leave him up here for now) A few guys Drumm is probably throwing out there, due to the Caleb Williams factor, but seem like nothing more than pipe dreams: Maason Smith (LSU) Smael Mondon - probably 4th at best though we just had a virtual visit JC Latham - yeah right Korey Foreman - yeah right JT Tuimoloau - slightly better chance than 'yeah right'
As much as I love seeing Euro get shit on, I enjoy reading different perspectives from other schools represented in this thread. Other than asking for my koolaid, post something regarding info on recruits from my list so i can attempt to read the tea leaves of what that recruit is telling different recruiting services/schools. I'll be eating a shitload of crow if Caleb Williams signs elsewhere but I'll be here for it. If we don't get him, I'd bet a large portion of my top list signs elsewhere, probably even guys that are currently committed.
We're trying to throw Kirby off the scent with some strange evals....I think it will pick up, we're on a few more people than I thought based on the lat couple days. Sorey, Arnold, and this guy and I'll be halfway satisfied with our Florida haul
You guys are getting Williams. I think the issue is the delusion that he’s bringing every top 50 kid with him.
Yall are getting Caleb. He is recruiting for yall with Leigh. Leigh though isnt going far from home at this point.
We’re in a defensive rebuild led by Pete fucking Golding, we need all the defenders we can get. We also have Bryce tha god and some good young o-line classes for the next 3 years so not worried about offense
Are yall taking Ian Jackson? Our staff wasn't even ready to take him this soon. I was shocked to see crystal ball picks for bama.
I wouldn’t think so given our LB haul last year and who were on this year but that’s an southlick or Owsley question. I don’t follow it that closely
The list was labeled 'top guys we have a shot at'. Seems the inclusion of Emeka is the hang up for taking anything I posted seriously. If Emeka sets up an OV soon then maybe we can agree OU actually has/had a shot, until then, I'm good with the assumption that we're not in play for his services. Leigh's name has certainly came from left field (for OU fans) recently but there seems to be some growing belief that he'll visit OU with Caleb this summer. Interesting tidbit regarding distance, but as we know, distance is always a factor.
Has he not been good? A lot of OU bedwetter fans were furious when we ended up with Alex Grinch instead of Pete Golding.
