We haven’t confirmed this through Neal yet but we have heard through a source that DaiShon Neal may actually announce tonight and will decide between OU and Nebraska. Just wanted to open another post because a) the comments section in the open post is busting at the seams and b) in case he does announce, we can just update the site on this post.
If he doesn’t announce, my apologies in advance but I did want to mention that there is at least the real possibility that it may go down tonight.
– UPDATE (8:02 pm): Just wanted to give y’all a heads up, I’m being told that the Neal decision may come tonight or tomorrow. Again, no confirmation from Neal himself but my sources believe the decision is coming very soon, as in tomorrow at the latest. I’ll keep checking.

Hope it goes our way.
Before his visit to Nebraska this weekend I was certain it was going to be OU…now…it’s anyone’s guess.
Be good to have a 6’7 body on the end to knock down those quick slants
Have you seen how Jake Pickard developed into his senior year? Amazing! He ended up picking up an offer from Michigan.
I know, i liked how quick he was. Also, I loved Griffin too. I was with you back in March with Pickard and Campbell/Gallimore. We need long 4’s to tip the quick passes.
I remember y’alls write up on Pickard and hoped OU would get involved at some point. Still think he’ll be a great player in college
And I hope you guys continue to have those Oklahoma Kid spotlights in the offseason. Heritage Hall won state and they have a lot of good players!
Have not seen his film but knowing Harbaugh he’ll get the kid playing like he’s all Big 10 in a couple of years….
thinking Nebraska if he announces tonight. Oregon if he visits next week………..
And who do you follow? This is an OU site right? If you are going to make an argument than make an argument. Don’t make inane assertions without at least attempting to justify them. C’mon on man.
Lose lose proposition. Not worth the time dude
Okay. Thanks for the head up. Him and CasterTroyBoy seem to be persona non grata around here.
Ha, absolutely not worth the time / thought. He puts none in his posts so why bother put some in your response?
Cmon with the Boom!!!!
Daishon and Van tonight (fingers crossed)
Really didn’t think OU would have sweat either of these but it’s coming down to the wire.
Seems the coaches that sent out those tweets thought the same as you
What is Neal’s weight now. I know he’s not 245
SIKE you jinxed it fool!
Might as well list him as linebacker.
how so?
That comment wasn’t for this post. My discus has been messing up. Lol
Say what?
With his length do you think there is any chance they move Daishon to an OLB to rush the passer? Seems like his frame is kinda similiar to Obo but I may be wrong
Obo is only 6’1 or 2 whereas Neal is 6’7. Neal can move and it would be great if he could move like Obo with his long frame and his weight in a year or two.
In my view, moving Geno G last year was a mistake. He should of played DE.
Is he still currently committed to Nebraska or did he de-committ recently?
Currently still committed.
still shown being committed to Nebraska……..
I’m taking a nap. Seems to work for bringing on good news while I’m out
I like your style!
Thanks a million K.
If it’s coming down tonight…fresh off his Neb visit and prior to Bob’s in home…not liking the spot OU is in imo.
B Stoops hosted Neal’s family last weekend. I wouldnt read too much into the in home visit being later. JM was there a few days back. May be that after visiting Nebraska again it just confirmed OU would be a better place for him.
Could have, hope you are correct!
You would think that if he was still committed to Neb then he would just go ahead and say I’m going to stick with my commitment. I’m thinking he is going to flip if he announces tonight or this week.
So if we get Neal, we’ll have two DE measuring 6’7 in this class, which is kind of crazy.
DT: Gallimore and maybe Overton/Lampkin/Daniels
DE: Campbell, Mann, and maybe Neal
Pretty solid DL class.
Been fishing all day and just got home. Trying to catch up. So Neal and Jefferson could announce tonight? Any news on McGuinnes or Smith?
plz plz plz.
Tired of waiting ……. Going to the gym.
Boom.
Other sites are reporting Neal may visit Michigan. Also, the rumor that Van J. committed to Ole Miss is false, but it may not look good for the home team as reported on other sites.
You know what I just don’t get is the Michigan interest. Yes, Harbaugh is a proven winner in the league. But Bob Stoops has many D linemen in the league, more than Harbaugh produced at Stanford. McCoy, Alexander, David King, McGee etc…
That’s right, and B Stoops wears khakis better than Harbaugh!
Seriously?LOL
That may be true but Harbaugh has an “aura” like Switzer, Carroll, etc…do
Stoops has that ‘aw schuks” Spurrier persona..Which one would you want to play for…? And I know U love the Sooners so you will likely answer with rose-colored glasses….sadly….
Kids love “new”. Harbaugh has proven himself in the league, and he’s had some success in college football. I’m a niners fan, so I like Harbaugh, but I also know that, in the end, the players started to turn on him as well. We’ll see how it turns out at Michigan, but if I’m a kid, I have to take into account the many stops that Harbaugh’s had and wonder if this is going to last.
Stoops, on the other hand, that guy is a fixture.
Seriously all the great coaches who overstayed there welcomes ended badly. U should only Stay at a University 10 years. If u are struggling those last years then 2 more makes 12 and that should be enough 2 cement your legacy..Stoops has been here too long my friend…I’m saying this in heavy heart but he should have left after 2008…
While Harbaugh is a fine coach, has never finished. Stoops is what 1-0 head to head. He doesn’t have an aura close to Switzer. Maybe Carroll, but Pete has gotten the best of him and got him fired.
Matters not, it only matters what is in the mind of an 17-18 yr.old kid! Plain & simple…We they talk about coaches & Aura you don’t see kids revere stoops like they do ‘others’… Look it up not me saying this, I took a direct quote from those espn recruit commentators who asked these kids over the years at all star games….
They played w/o Luck in that game and still put up points. Luck starting that game sadly would have been another bowl loss for Stoops & Co.
Yeah hunt I feel if Neal makes that trip out to Ann Arbor…I think he’ll be of the mindset of falling in love with the last place he sees. Here hoping he does not make the trip but & even though I am a “true Sooner” to the core…given the climate that is around the program, lazy fans, uninspiring admin, I’d have to say I’d think real hard at choosing Michigan…They’d have to impress the hell outta me though….
Lazy fans? Were you at the return from beating Bama?
So much more goes into “fandom” than just supporting a team after a big win my friend…Honestly can U say that there is just a maniacal fan base here? They sit on their hands looking elitist because there family has had those seats for 20-30 yrs. They feel entitled without putting in the work, just like some of our coaches and likely some of our team…
Can’t wait to buy everyone some virtual brew and party until the wee hour of 10:00 pm!
Boomer !!!
Rally up!
Thank you ^.
Thanks K
Please, please give us a Boom.
Van Jefferson tweeted he committed to Ole Miss
There it is.
He wasn’t a glimmer in our radar until very recently, it is okay.
Agreed. Wonder if we go harder after Hughes or AD Miller….
I have a thought that Riley has a guy, or two, he is planning on committing. Somebody’s coming with Riley. My hunch.
Yea I think he was recruiting Hughes at East Carolina. It would possibly help if these recruits knew who their WR coach was going to be, I know I would want to know.
I agree. I think Bob would have a guy hired by now if he could. Theres got to be a story behind the length of time it is taking to sign the coach.
Is Anyone watching the game?
⚡️Van Jefferson⚡️ @Vj2kAllDay 2m2 minutes ago
I have officially committed to The University of Mississippi. I want to thank my family, friends, and God through this process. #HottyToddy
Boo.
I learned about this game myself by playing it, learning it by watching great teams play it. Watching the great teachers of the game teach it….U can learn a serious amount if U just Open Your Eyes….
Who did you learn how to be a jerk from.
Saban, McKay, Bobby Knight…I’d put Stoops in there but then some in here would think I’d be placing him among these legendary coaches…
Welp….
Well his dad can just stay in the NFL with that attitude. 🙂
bwahahahaha…
Stings for OU…but Im sure it REALLY stings for Georgia.
Yeah.
Wait are we sure he is going to Ole Miss?
Jefferson to Ole Miss. That blows. Hope Riley has a few other prospects in the wings.
Neal just announced that OU has been eliminated.
WTH is going on? “No thanks OU, I would rather go to a school that has never been to a BCS bowl or won a conference title before the Vietnam War.”
What does that even mean?
The allure of ole miss. What success have they had in the last 40 years to hang their hat on?
they are very successful at the hiring of bagmen. campus is nice and sorority row has tons of pretty girls. other than that, i got crickets
Are you talking about Nebraska..cause I’m pretty sure they’ve won a few titles…I assume you mean Van and Old Miss but you replied to a Neal statement
NO I am not talking about Nebraska.. I know they have been to a BCS bowl, got raped by Oregon. I was talking about Ole miss. I shuldhave paid better attention to where i placed my comment.
OU missing all over the place, but guess what OU will be alright!!
So what teams has Neal narrowed to- Nebraska and someone else?
I believe just solid to his Nebraska commit.
Sigh…tough night for recruiting
Rough night for OU. We really need some type of momentum.
What are you talking about? BB?
Neal officially tweeted he will not be attending Oklahoma
Okay. Three star. But oh well. VJ more important.
We’ve had a lot of All Americans that were 3 stars… But in addition to Neal was the Jefferson commitment to Ole Miss.
I thought the VJ was unofficial? Has Super K confirmed?
Van tweeted it out about 20 minutes ago.
Kick in the nuts….
Being Sooner fans… We are damn good sports and will get through this together
Monty has some explaining to do
Stop your killing me…lol
Leiato off the board too…committed to Oregon
We’re sheetin in high cotton tonight!
JD you are hilarious my friend!
It’s okay, my sources say this decision from Van Jefferson was agreed upon within his family because his dad Shawn is taking the WR job here
Kish probably texted them a picture of his new transition glasses right before their decisions
lol…
