    Wonderful news.

  • Will Narramore says:

    Obviously they saw the success of having someone like Mark Andrews who is a WR/TE hybrid and now they have another one waiting in the wings for when Andrews moves on to the NFL

  • SamSooner says:

    Welcome aboard Mr. Calcaterra!

    I love how this kid gets up field before he has the ball.

  • Soonerfandave84 says:

    Guess this is what Coach Gundy and Riley were talking about on Twitter today

  • Sooner Ray says:

    So many threads, we need GPS systems in here. 🙂

    Just updated from 24/7 Sports.

  • Bob Edwards says:

    Nice wheels for a guy that size. Wouldn’t be surprised if he picks up that fourth star before all is said and done.

    • SamSooner says:

      Yeah. Did you notice that on his drag routes he turns up field before he has the ball. That’s a great sense of presence in the middle of moving parts. Awesome!!

  • Slim Sooner says:

    BOOOOOM!! Hello, Denzel. Welcome to OU, Mr. Calcaterra!! Good day to be a Sooner!!

  • Lane Gilstrap says:

    I called it. BOOM

  • j l says:

    Boom!!!

    so does this mean we can still take 1 more WR?

    • Sooner Ray says:

      Yes because he is a TE and according to our roster…….oh crap.

    • SoonerNutt says:

      In OU’s system, there is no discernible difference between a TE and an Inside Receiver. Sterling Sheperd and Mark Andrews played the same position. Of course, LR is creative enough to take a bigger guy and use him in different ways, but he is still called an Inside Receiver in the system, and I’m sure the coaches have a number in mind for how many IR’s they’ll take any given year, regardless of size.

    • Stephen Dale says:

      I hope there is room for Manning……….

  • Ryan says:

    Why didn’t USC or Ucla offer this kid?

    • SamSooner says:

      Not enough stars, I suppose.

      • Stephen Dale says:

        Physically, he doesn’t fit the blocking schemes of either UCLA or USC…Calcaterra isn’t coming to Norman to become an in-line blocking TE….

    • DCinAZ says:

      He only blew up as a TE/WR in 2015. His 13 and 14 highlights are all mostly of him playing safety. It’s obvious he underwent a massive growth spurt from his Fr to his Jr year and got moved to TE just last year where he flourished. We’re early, but now that he’s committed, the Cali schools will come after him in a hurry you can bet. They probably wanted to use his senior season to further evaluate him. I bet he has an offer from USC, UCLA and Cal by the end of his senior year.

    • Stephen Dale says:

      just a guess but neither UCLA or USC run an offensive scheme similar to OU and Calcaterra fits what OU wants to do offensively. He didn’t fit the skill set requirements for the Bruins or Condons, however……and both LA schools are recruiting more highly ranked guys who do fit their schematics….

  • Walter Sobcek says:

    I ike it. I like it a lot.

  • Rene Goupillaud says:

    Great to get a SMHS Eagle. Great SoCal program (Carson Palmer for one).

  • hOUligan says:

    Has me wondering if Calcaterra told the staff earlier and wrapped up that last receiver spot knowing Rison was visiting and likely to commit.

    • Sooner Ray says:

      Makes some sense.

    • Mysterio1 says:

      Would OU still take Rison?

      • hOUligan says:

        Rison canceled his scheduled visit so was likely told by the staff ‘sorry, all full at this time’. He re-commited to MSU so think the bromance is done. Doesn’t sound like OU takes any more receivers but never know. Maybe Omar Manning if there is a ship available at some point.

  • Ed Cotter says:

    Right on! Great get. Was hoping the kid would pull the trigger and commit to the Good Guys. Sooner Squad 17 gets another one. Hopefully he can work on getting other Cali kids to join SS17. This class is coming together nicely. Just gotta keep those orange bastages from the south from poaching ’em.

  • D Hunter Sanchez says:

    Better late than never: BOOM!

  • John Garner says:

    We’re on a roll. Lovin’ it. Rancho Santa Margarita is a great program. Their campus looks like a small eastern university. Beautiful. But then everything down Diego way looks beautiful.

  • J.r. Kamm says:

    Outstanding! Welcome aboard, young man!!

  • Eric Hutton says:

    ???〽️

  • DCinAZ says:

    Kid chews up chunks of yardage at the rate of 5 yds every two strides at top gear. Destroys zone coverage and outruns DBs. Kid is an animal.

  • ccmosaic says:

    I love that Riley is going with big guys like this.

  • cush creekmont says:

    Love the Boom – still miss too much TFB working. Welcome Mr. Calcaterra! SS17 is THE team to join.
