    Yes!! Can never have too many good linemen. Welcome to the Sooner Nation. Am sure you’ll look better in Crimson and Cream.

  • blaster1371 says:

    Where does he fall in the national rankings for his position?

    • Bob Edwards says:

      He is a 4* who is the #15 OT according to Rivals.

      • blaster1371 says:

        Wow! For a guy so highly rated he sure had a short list of destinations. Do you have any idea who he held offers from?

        • Bob Edwards says:

          He committed to Michigan early and they basically withdrew his offer a couple of weeks ago because they have a new coach. Probably didn’t get a lot of offers because he committed so early.

          • Walter Sobcek says:

            And he won’t have to wear ice skates to play in Norman. He’s luckier than he realizes to be a Sooner.

  • RocketCitySooner says:

    He will do.

  • Sooner Ray says:

    BOOM for a big nasty!

  • Ed Cotter says:

    He was actually committed to Michigan since 2013, and then about a month ago was told that there was no room in this recruiting class for him. Interesting. Harbaugh wanted to make sure he had HIS guys in place before cutting Swenson loose. Oh well, OU’s gain.

  • Jesse says:

    Coach Riley hinting at another ’16 commit on Twitter?? Anyone else see that? Or am I reading too much haha

  • Maverick says:

    Omg, my Dad’s gonna be so happy. He’s always wondering why we can’t go get some “big polacks from the Midwest”. I think this counts.

  • Dana Rogers says:

    Whew… I mean really… Whew! Had been concerned for a while that Mr. Moore’s academic problems would be an on-going issue for the next four years. However, with the 6:41 pulling in from Downers Grove, Illinois believe I’ll be for sleeping a bit better tonite. Welcome to God’s country Mr. Swenson – getting late but think we can still russell you up some “pancakes” ifn you’d like.

  • JB says:

    Big 12 OWNED the sec in the BIG 12-sec challenge. Still scratching my head over WVU losing to Florida. WTH?

    • RBear says:

      Huggins

      • JB says:

        Yeah, but even oSu nearly beat FLA. WVU should’ve smoked them. Oh well…at least we won. Still super excited for coach Lon K. He has done a fantastic job of rebuilding this program.

        • RBear says:

          i think the refs disliked his “style”- at one point in the 2nd half, the commentators said that there was a whistle every 43 seconds.

          • Dick Bump says:

            Refs can impact a game too much in basketball. They need to computerize it. Maybe an ap or something.

  • soonerbred4ever says:

    Now, if Swenson becomes an all-american and 1st round draft choice when his eligibility is done, it would be poetic justice!

  • Cam says:

    Boom! Oh by the way, has anyone noticed that the top paid LT and RT in the NFL right now are both from OU? I hope we’re telling recruits that!

  • D Hunter Sanchez says:

    In Japan now. First word I learned is “Bumu.”

    • JrsySooner says:

      Kawai ka..wa..e. means so cute or cute. Where in Japan. Miss the bullet train and food so owashi which means good. Spelling is probably wrong

    • cush creekmont says:

      幸運サンチェス氏 – or Good luck Mr Sanchez (according to google at least) 🙂

  • j l says:

    Boom! there we go.

    Still take moore with hearne leaving?

  • Dick Bump says:

    I think this guy has a chance to be really good.

  • John Garner says:

    Geezus, versus some of those DE’s, Swenson looked like The Blindside – Part 2. Two top-ranked OLs in 2 days. Coach B be representin’.

  • SoonerOracle737 says:

    Welcome to the Sooner Nation Mr Swenson! We need more Scandinavian players on our team to go along with said fans like myself. BOOMER!

  • Jpsooner23 says:

    We need a JY breakdown in this kid. From what I know about him he likes pancakes.

  • Noticed he picked my best friend and former OU All American Ed Foster’s number. Ed passed away last year. Hope this young man is half the man and player that Ed was. If so, OU will be blessed to have him.

  • SoonerinLondon says:

    Really liking the new stadium plans that Erik got hold of. Part of the new recruiting pitch, I’m guessing. LOL

  • JrsySooner says:

    One more time as I have posted this often
    Does OU have large posters of our NFL guys, I mean large ones with dollar amounts at the bottom Bradford, McCoy Williams and Gresham inked a quarter billion….The highest paid O Lineman in the NFL are from OU Johnson and Williams, the highest paid running backs are from OU Murray and Peterson One of the highest paid DT in McCoy is from OU Now that is recruiting material that you cannot discount..
    3 of the first four in the 1st round of the NFL draft 2010 First pick in Bradford on and on

  • JrsySooner says:

    I never have said this but I have a strange feeling OU will sign a top ten class…just seems like we are under the radar

    • Jim Casy says:

      We are set up with the Heisman hype, great schedule and facility upgrades to make a big haul next February if we play our cards right.
