Dahu Green: As we reported yesterday, Westmoore WR Dahu Green has officially been extended an OU offer. Green told us afterwards that it felt good to finally get the offer, but he also seemed torn on what to do now. Green is still a Washington State commit, and Mike Leach has recruited him hard for some time now. In fact, he came down to Oklahoma for an in-home visit with Green somewhat recently.
As most of you know, Green was at one time committed to Louisville and actually decommitted because he felt Washington State simply recruited him better. He’s very conscious of the fact that the team that wants you the most will often afford you the greatest opportunity.
Meanwhile, Cale Gundy and Lincoln Riley did the in-home visit with Green last night. Dahu told us he really liked Riley and that the Sooners new OC is the main reason he is entertaining the OU offer. When we asked Dahu if he was going to take an official to OU this weekend, he said he still had not decided yet. Again, he’s clearly torn about how to feel with this late offer.
As far as OU’s wide receiver numbers go, we asked around and were told that OU will take “at least one more receiver.” Meaning they may be in a position to take both Green and A.D. Miller if that scenario were to present itself.
Dontavious Jackson: OU finally offered 2016 LB Dontavious Jackson yesterday. It was a bit coincidental that I (K) was talking with Dontavious just the day before, and he told me that he felt OU wasn’t really interested in him. That was clearly frustrating for him, because he is very much interested in the Sooners.
As we told you a while back, he has a connection to the program being good friends with OU linebacker Ogbonnia ‘Obo’ Okoronkwo. To be honest, I (K) am a little surprised it took OU this long to offer Jackson. Regardless, though, the offer was made and Jackson was excited about it. He has already told our guy Brandon that he’s planning to get up to Norman for one of OU’s upcoming Junior Days.
– UPDATE (1:55 pm): Mike Stoops was in Dallas today and apparently stopped by to see 2016 DB, Reggie Stubblefield. He and coach Viney will also be in Austin later to see PJ Mbanasor.
– UPDATE (4:43 pm): Following today’s Board of Regents meeting, Lincoln Riley’s initial contract details were released. His contract runs through 1/31/2017 and he will be paid $500,000 annually (not including performance bonuses).

I mean other than loyalty, what reasons would you pick Washington State over Oklahoma? That’s a battle that shouldn’t even need to be fought.
Captain Leach offered him a share an a harf of the booty!
They have fat little girlfriends in Pullman too?
Then there’s that whole thing…aarrrggg…
Leach is a riot. He’d probably be pretty fun guy to drink a few beers with
No beers and still chuckling ….
Leach and the opportunities for WRs, they had 4 500 yrd receivers last year, and about 10 100 yrd receivers!
Yeah, but now we have alternate uniforms.
It’s nice to go somewhere where you’re a “priority” (like Leach has made him) and not a last minute offer.
I just don’t think we should be punished for the decisions of JH. That’s fair, right?
to me this is where the torn part should come in. “ok they have new offensive coaches and these guys like me and feel they need me. but man leach has been on me since inception”
I honestly think recruits should learn to differentiate. Its about whats best for you and the other side what’s best for the program. It’s not personal, just business – in the scenario had OU offered lot early and Dahu had decided to go elsewhere, the staff or us wouldn’t be bent out of shape about his decision – would understand that its a for his best and let it be.
this makes tons of sense but very hard to do in the moment. you always want to be wanted and especially by the schools you have ties to or are close to home etc
WSU showed recognition of the young mans talent. Respect and immediate opportunity. Recruited and built that relationship.
That’s a hard decision.
Leach is a good evaluator.
How often does OU go after recruits after Mike Leach offers.
OU didn’t offer Sam Bradford until after Leach did.
If I remember correctly, Chuck Long had to beg Stoops to offer him(Sammy B.)
That is correct.
Again, totally bogus. I’m good friends with Sam’s Dad. This is just not correct. Look it up, Sam committed in May of his JR year. First QB offered in his class.
Guess I’m remembering wrong, thought Long stated he had to work on Stoops before offering Sam. Regardless, it all worked out.
How does him being the first QB committed mean Chuck Long didnt have to talk Bob Stoops into it?
I was told by Sam’s teammate and future teammate that Tech was where he was going to go until OU came and offered.
Not true at all. Sam was OU’s first commit in his class. Committed in May of his JR year.
Hate to see facts getting in the way of critical remarks about our recruiting abilities…:-)
Sam was offered first by Tech and almost committed to them. I know this from his friend and teammate at OU who was playing AAU basketball with Sam at the time.
Green seems to be impressed with OU and grateful to WSU for showing him early love. I think Green wants OU but feels he should honor WSU.
I am curious as to why OU has not gone after another TE? Is there a role for TEs in this offense?
I’m hoping it means they think Meier and Andrews are going to be pretty good
Hopefully, but I still think two TEs per class needs to be a norm.
at least one for sure
Wasn’t Dalton Wood recruited as a TE?
Yup, he is our only commit at TE!
Yes, and he is the sleeper in this class, IMO. Nobody talks about him but I predict he will be one of the most productive players in this class. Might even grow into a OT ala Lane Johnson.
I agree!
This year’s Dmitri Flowers? (in terms of production)
My guess is Wood will red shirt.
OU has brought in some athletes at TE. Wood is a football player who happens to be a good athlete. High on this kid.
Why not Wood at qb?
Two TE’s per class has you with from 6-10 on the roster at any given time. That is a lot for a single position and an 85 scholarship limit. The only way that makes sense if you run mostly two tight end sets.
Ya, but OU has two TEs, 1 FB – who even have a chance of sniffing playing time, which is why stockpiling couple of them in this class – wouldn’t hurt
Fine but you said “two TEs per class needs to be a norm.” that is what I was responding to. Two in this class probably not a bad idea. Two per class, not a good idea..
yup! Fair enough
TE is a big question? Usually is comes down to the OC’s philosophy.
Wilson and Long loved TE’s so did Mangino.
Leach and Josh would rather see another fast receiver.
From what I have seen, Riley will also prefer another WR.
I’m really concerned about this Air-raid label.
If a TE can’t set the edge he won’t and shouldn’t get on the field because you can find receivers that can get open better. TE really has no value if he can’t help a lot in running game by setting the edged. JMO
^ this ^ (what dave84 said)
Josh Moore recently de-committed. There was early interest there I think.
Do you think we have a shot? His tape looks very good!
I have no idea. I’m not sure if the staff was planning on him being available this late in recruiting. Maybe K or Jordan as a little more insight.
See above. Haha.
Grade risk. Very unlikely anything happens here, IMO.
Don’t like the idea of missing out on in-state talent. Teddy Lehman. Rocky Calmus. Bradford. Gresham. Gerald McCoy. All Okies. No reason we should let these kids slip out of OU hands.
In saying that, let’s give some Okie LBs a look, shall we?
Whitfield?
Exactly.
Whitfield is from my hometown, I’d be very happy to see him a Sooner
Drive thru there everyday..
Nice, you work in Ft. Smith?
I graduated from Pocola 1981, and my grandparents lived in Panama… Very familiar in my youth.
Lived in Pocola for about 5 years, before getting the job i have now and moving
But does anybody know if Whitfield can play Linebacker? That is the hold up with his recruitment, Kish has seen him twice.
Tim Kish has failed as a recruiter, he’s done pretty good with two young undersized linebackers.
You can’t tell me after so many years as a coach that Kish can’t spot a talent when it’s right in front of him?
For you guys that have seen Whitfield play… what is it?
Riley Daniel and Darreyl Patterson this class
You are comparing guys that were 4-5* recruits, to guys that aren’t. I know Bradford was just a 3*, and not sure on Calmus. But please don’t compare recruiting Lehman, Gresham, and McCoy, to not recruiting Whitfield.
Larry Birdine – 3*
Sam Bradford – 3*
Tress Way – 2*
Gabe Ikard – 3*
Aaron Colvin – 3*
Julian Wilson – 3*
That better? That’s off the top of my head.
Bet I can quadruple that list, pretty easily, of OK kids in the 2-3 star range that never played a meaningful snap.
That’s nice. But please don’t compare recruiting in-state kids of years past that never worked out (because we all know out-of-state 4 and 5-stars NEVER bust, right?) to not recruiting current in-state kids simply because the “experts” didn’t jot an extra “star” by their name. Thanks.
Other 3-star Okies on the current roster:
–Dom Alexander
–J. Evans
–Mead
–Meier
You remember in 2009 BS said that we are a national program, and hence, we are going to recruit nationally. I am wondering if he really meant that there is now a lower priority on Okie and Texas kids?
Man, I hope not. Just want to see Okies stay Okies is all.
Teddy Lehman was a no star kid. http://247sports.com/Player/Ted-Lehmann-72147
Sternberger and Simon plz. Lol
With NSD just next week I was curious about the QB situation. Has anyone heard anything about how Riley feels about the QB’s on campus? I realize he got here late in the game to try to recruit a quality h.s. kid, but the Sooners have been actively working to flip other commits. I have read very little about how Riley feels about the ones already on scholarship.
Makes my day when I see an open post! Thanks for all of your hard work!
He was quoted saying,“We’re going to be very blessed in that quarterback room,” Riley said. “I’ve heard people on the outside say that’s a question mark. To me, we have three guys in that room who have started major college football games. There’s plenty to work with in that group. … We have what we need in that room to be successful.”
I believe that to be the truth. I think we will be shocked how much better the QB position will be next year. We simply needed QB development.
When we get great wr’s on the field, and noticeably improved performance there, I think everyone will be impressed with how the qb’s have suddenly “developed.”
That and an identity. We never really decided what we wanted to be…and therefore never ‘grew up’.
JMO, but I feel Josh has slipped with his QB recruitment. He hasn’t been on a true QB since Gunner Kiel. Meaning that Gunner has been a QB since late pop- warner. Release wise and technique wise he is not a project.
Hansen and Thomas are still young, but they need work. Baseball has really hurt Thomas’s release.
At some point Josh should have stepped in and told him, you have to make a choice if you’re going to be a QB at OU.
I like TK a lot, he is a good kid, but he starts at the back, he may catch fire, but he’s had 3 years to prove he is our starter.
Baker has looked good, we’ll find out more.
What have you seen of Hansen that needs work? I thought he looked to have the best motion of any of them.
All I said was that he is young, they really hoped to keep his red shirt, meaning that at one point in the season, they were very temped to play him?
Hansen looked very good in the spring game, I am very excited to see what he has to offer.
Totally agree. Wasn’t arguing, just curious. I’m thinking he may be the most complete package among the QBs we have. And, although young, he’s had a year on the practice field, in the weight room, on the nutrition plan and with the coaches.
He’s supposedly a pass first guy with acceptable wheels, kind of what we are led to understand Riley wants.
Given a scholarship limit of 85, with twenty-two position on offense and defense, and a couple of specialty players like kickers and deep snappers you have a little less than four slots per position. Some positions like WR allow you to allot a little less because they can play in multiple slots.
So you really end up with about four slots for QB. We currently have four QB’s on campus so we don’t really have an empty slot. Now if you got a really good one, you would probably take him but otherwise you skip this year.
Let’s not for get Dahu was slighted by JH as not what he wanted early 2014
Dontavious Jackson and Caleb Kelly should be priority #1A & #1B for the next 12 months.
This X1000
Calling Kim Tish…
Do you work at the unemployment office?
Haha I wish. (In a nice way…I would prefer he find a job elsewhere)
I don’t think anyone in the history of ever has said they wished they worked at the unemployment office before lol!
Rahshaun Smith should be 1C then…..man, what a linebacker class that would be
Really seems like OU is in good shape with some stud 2016 prospects.
That’s what we said this year…
Yelp. Oh and the year before. We have been in the top 3 for at least 8 good LBs over the last two years. And so far out of all those (really good) LBs we signed one this year.
WR recruiting was a bunch of near misses as well. Norvell was in on Agholor, DGB, and Treadwell…Imagine if OU had all three of those guys last year(KD Cannon too)
Good, well now Norvell can near miss with Texas.
Julio Jones too…
This is true and it may turn out that way again. But after seeing Monty work this year, I’ll maintain confidence on any guys he’s the main recruiter for (R. Smith, Agim).
Very true, Kish had a who’s who list of linebackers to choose from. Or so we were lead to believe.
If OU continues to have on the field issues…then the so called ‘good shape’ has a way of ..’at one time’.
Difference here is Monty is on this guy. Smith, Kelly and Jackson are all very high on OU. With Monty in the house, like OUr odds.
That would be hilarious if in two years LB was our strongest position and Kish our recruiting God.
I think it was our strongest last year, and will be this year again. Depending on who takes Grissom’s spot, and how they work in FShannon (if he is still on the team ofc).
I think peace in the Middle East is a more realistic proposition.
YES! YES! YES! In fact if we could get these guys in on the junior days we have coming up and get them both to commit early it would go a long way to easing our fears and worries at LB
Definitely. I could see Kelly being a kid that commits before next season starts.
What prompts you to say this?
Just speculation based on some tweets of his saying he wished he was already committed and other little things like that.
Gotcha, thanks.
From that Oct post, sounds like Kish has been in on him for a while and Jackson is really high on OU. If Kish could swing him and Kelly all would be forgotten. And maybe that’s why he’s still at OU…in good with some 2016 kids.
Need to get Hatari Byrd & Michiah Quick in his ear when they get Kelly on campus too
It’s early but 247 crystal ball is 100% OU for Kelly.
Man I hope so. Sooners need some playmakers at LB. Dom and Jordan Evans are solid players who make tackles but OU needs guys who make plays too. Not really had one since Lofton left either
What is Caleb Kelly’s connection to OU?
Fresno Clovis West
Is that where quick and Byrd are from
Yep
From Fresno Central.
I think Viney is from Fresno too.
And LJ Moore, the DB that transferred out. OU HS
The coach who coached Moore, Quick and Byrd is now at Clovis West.
Honestly, love the Sooners and would like to have Dahu Green, but if I am him I stick with Wazzu. We waited until too late. He shouldn’t have had to wait this long for an offer. Like K says, the Cougars will offer him the best opportunity.
That said, we had extract our head from that other area soon.
Sadly, I have to agree.
The biggest thing in OU’s favor is though we offered late, he was offered really soon after Lincoln Riley was hired. Meaning, Lincoln offered him within a couple of weeks of taking over as OC. I realize Wazzou has been recruiting him longer, but Riley with OU’s resources and history and opportunity was only recently able to begin wooing him.
I have a feeling OU can steal Dahu if they hard sell him on playing in the Crimson and Cream. Much nearer to family, and how can a WR not be excited about the prospect of playing in Riley’s offense?
You choose a school by when they offered? No way. You choose a school that matches your abilities on the field, your interests in academics, your proximity to home, your relationship to your position coach, the last thing you consider is how long they have been recruiting you. Now that relationship to your position coach may bite us on the Asst. Coach.
I would consider that they didn’t offer me until other things had fallen through, which frankly is pretty crappy.
yeah but hopefully he would consider the fact that the offensive coaches who didn’t want him aren’t here no more
It’s more than just where your skill set fits especially since his skill set as a WR fits most offenses. Most people go with who they feel comfortable with and built solid relationships with (especially when they’ve spent months building that relationship). A year vs a week? That doesn’t exactly look to favor OU. Hopefully, the fact OU is a big time program and Wazzu is not will win out & Riley proves to be one heck of a persuader.
Does anyone know exactly how many scholarships we have available for this year?
I was wondering too.
About 26.
Thanks
That #19 jersey will be available for Caleb Kelly next year too since Striker will graduate.
If Green felt disrespected (which would be natural), perhaps the fact that our OC and Receivers coaches are gone is actually a plus. LR can say “I’m not responsible for their opinions: I think you are perfect for us.”
Two things about Green, one is that he is not an Oklahoma kid, and most felt he wanted to back back to California?
The other is that Norville was looking for blazers, shorter WR’s that could play in the slot.
Riley wants more speed, but he may have to go with play makers at this time.
I’ve always liked Green, and I’m glad he has an offer.
Is anybody else having trouble w/ the comments?
loading slowly
I was trying to post a tweet and it was doing something really weird.

Didnt show up right for me either
yep, that was the one
I figured. I liked what he was saying too
Only the quality of them
touche
…it was right there. On top of the net. Just waiting to be smashed…
HEY!
Mine are posting same as usual.
Im not having problems with the comments. Im having trouble with the updates. NOT ENOUGH OF THEM lol….jk..sorta..
Yep, big trouble with the comments. For some reason anytime someone types the word “BOOM” it doesn’t appear on my computer.
Remember Broyles…sometimes late is not too late.
This is the ILB I would love to see OU get on campus this weekend.. Austin Wyatt-Thayer
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/666315/highlights/203976378
Randy, thanks for posting. I watched about 30 seconds and saw all I needed to see. Don’t give this kid an area to cover. Let him cover any area he wants because he can find the ball.
Exactly….. I love his film. Somebody is going to get a kid that can help next year !
Looks pretty good to me. 6’4″ @235. Only offers I see are Fresno and Hawaii. Can’t find his speed, but he plays pretty fast.
Perfect size for our 3-4 ILB, he looks as fast as our LB’s now so I am good with it and he finds the football..
Plays pretty high but he is 6’4 but that will get him in trouble at the next level. Needs to work on his footwork, too many false steps but that is typical for high school kids. Does a good job of scrapping over the top and not getting caught in the wash. Understands angels, pretty good job with run fits, solid tackler but its a highlight film so that is to be expected. Needs to work on his drops but I don’t know what the schemes were so don’t want to be too critical but he needs to get eyes on the routes. Saw enough this year of LBs staring down the QB and covering green instead of seeing who was working their direction.
I am ok with all that.. If he needs then redshirt him get him ready for ’16.
I am always in favor of red shirting LBs whenever possible. It is the rare 18/19 yr old kid that is ready to compete against the 21/22 yr old linemen they will be seeing.
Only thing I see is that he is a Juco. He’d be behind the current kids at least from a system familiarity point. Be good for depth. Do you know what his remaining eligibility is?
Absolutely.. No, I think he would need a redshirt but never know with JUCOs.
Would be a nice pickup. We’ve had good luck with Cali juco LBs (e.g. Lance Mitchell).
Coaches must be happy with the progress of TEvans and Bolton to not hit the juco trail… we need at least 2 four year guys this year and load up on em next year and possibly a juco guy next year as well if they can red shirt since most jucos want to come in and play immediately
I would be happy with that I just want this guy on campus for ’15.
Those who are convinced that Kish is a terrible coach will not be able to endorse this hypothesis.
Just watched some of McGinnis’s film for the 1st time on my lunch break. Now I see why EasTex loves his skills so much.
Really hope he makes the visit and he chooses OU. We could use a LB like him
Link?

Thanks, Brick. I could have said D or D’Brick but Brick sounds more solid. Judging by your avatar, Brick is good for me. Uh, unless you object. LOL!
This is my roster photo for the Jets. My lunch break is a protein smoothie and beef jerky.
Only my momma calls me my full name “D’Brickashaw.” Most of my friends on the team call me “D’Brick…” except Geno Smith (who avoids me after I told him to stop throwing INT’s)
Well, if I’m Geno, I think it would be easier to avoid the interceptions than to avoid you. It would certainly be my motivation. I’ve been curious, what is your OU connection? Why do you take such interest in OU football when you’re a UV graduate?
Seriously!?! Figured it was just a fan of ‘Brick’. Never dreamed it might be THE BRICK. Seriously!?!
I thought it might be based on his objective posts. Always spot on and very much in charge of what he says.
Could tell he is very knowledgeable but we have a few guys on here that are coaches and/or played beyond hs. Great knowledge base here. Love this place!!
Grew up in NY, always an OU fan due to Switzer’s teams. They never offered me out of high school so I had to choose between Mich State and UVA. UVA was prettier (I freakin’ love lush trees), so I went to Charlottesville.
As for Geno…when I said I “told him,” I really meant “pushed him into his locker after the 3 INT Bills game and said, “Bro throw to the green jerseys you moron!”
Cool. Like I said, that’d be motivation for me.
Listen, it’s great to have you here posting. That gives us great insight.
Will you be available to nudge TK or BM if they start playing like morons this year?
FWIW, your mother should have named you D’Brickwall.
yes thanks brick
D Brick, like it.
So cool to have you on the site. Look forward to your insite
Proof or it ain’t true. This is epic…I always thought you were one of those Kay and Peel things
What do you know. You made the latest edition.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDp-ABzpRX8#t=53
One, flippin’ word sums this kid up. Nope, not freak. fast, big, strong, special, not any of them. The word that comes to mind is he’s”ineffable.”
Ineffable: adjective; incapable of being expressed or described in words; inexpressible:
So he’s the cannoli of football players? So good you can’t describe the goodness
Yeah. McGinnis is ‘effin’ good.
He looks a lot like Curtis Lofton. #50 as well.
But bigger and better (reported) physical measureables.
This guy, ladies and gentlemen, IS the type of linebacker we HAVEN’T had on our team in a LONG time. You don’t see carriers getting 3-5 more yards after contact when he’s in the pile.
From his performance at ‘The Opening’
McGinnis, 6 feet 2, 228 pounds, ran a 4.69 40-yard dash, had a 32.4″ vertical jump and finished with a 106.35 SPARQ rating, which was in the Top 100 ratings in the country for most of the offseason.
The one guy left that IMO is the priority.
That’s pretty good for a guy that big. He could be a pretty fast MLB.
Didn’t realize he was #50, but he reminds me a lot of another #50 that plays in Louisiana, and at one time OU.
I feel like with joe mixon beening a part of the team this year will help alot in recruiting in 2015-2016 class
https://twitter.com/AMKing00/status/560503906443083776
I could like a safety with the nickname ‘Pimp Daddy Reg’. Certain ring to it.
wonder if he’s kin to dana. he was kinda good at this game
So I was just sitting here thinking about the guys that are on the squad and will be taking the field next year and what players will really need to come on and have strong seasons in order to have a great season. See what y’all think of these guys… On D: Jordan Thomas, Romar, Obo, and Steven Parker. On O: obviously whoever wins the starting QB and OT spots, and Mixon and Quick.
Good start. A lot of guys. Tapper needs to turn it on as does Wade. LBs as a unit and Shannon make a statement. On O Quick and KJ and hopefully Dede is as advertised.
Yeah Tap really needs to have the kind of year we all thought he was going to have. Getting Shannon back is going to be huge!
Last year we did a really good job of catching punts. This year I hope we can get to the next level and run with the ball after we catch it. So someone who could do that would be nice.
Totally agree about that! Just look at what Alex Ross was able to do on kick offs. They have to be able to find someone to put back there that is a viable threat.
Yeah, we have enough WR’s and RB’s that we should have someone who could catch the ball and at least run a couple of yards.
I think that Tito Windham could be that guy. He was a punt returner extraordinaire in HS.
I would add the LB’s too as they need to step up their game especially in the middle passing lanes.
Yeah they were terrible in their drops and in route recognition. I think Shannon coming back to play the Mike position which has more coverage responsibilities will be a huge help.
Agree. It got to a point where I was just hoping they would look for the crossing route and just knock the guy down. Worry about the flag later.
Exactly! And college rules are different from the NFLs. There is no Illegal Contact in the NCAA.
Yeah OU better get atleast 3-4 LB’s next year.
Well, better late than never on the Dahu Green offer. Though, I understand if he chooses to stick with Washington State in the end.
Dahu and Whitfield should be on this team.
No arguments here!
Any chance at all of Whitfield getting an OU offer, anyone?

That’s good news all around. Growth can be painful. But I love it here.
heck yeah, a good problem to run into….this is the place to be.
had to be done before NSD. we don’t want any crashes on that big day (or any day, really. but you know what i mean)
Didn’t that happen to a service last year? Maybe I am wrong though.
it did indeed.
Glad you realized that Jordan. As slow as the site has been the last week or so I was just waiting for the big CRASH on NSD. Glad its taken care of.
Making sure you don’t lose any ground next week to your “Rivals,” eh? Good strategy. 🙂
To me there are no rivals… Where else can you get this info for the price!!! No rivals…
Your fired!
wouldn’t even be necessary were it not for the community you all have helped to build here. so i’ll gladly fall on this sword 😉
I’m joking, this is the best site for OU sports information
You’re*
Dustin- this is TFB MB. Let’s not make it like the other boards, Not try to be mean.
It’s a joke. Laugh and move along.
Sorry, must have been an inside joke.
Ok then
Cool
Groovy
I got you’re joke…
Your pushing it
“I’m pushing it. I’m pushing it real good…”
Just to clarify on this tweet. There may not be an interruptions at all, but if there are we just wanted to make you aware as to why.
It is awesome to see how this thing has grown. Been w/ y’all since Oct. 2013 when I found y’all on Twitter and absolutely love talking OU football with other Sooners and for anyone out there that doesn’t do Twitter I’m telling you it is worth it to get to talk with Esco and JY and The Brainiacs live during the games!
appreciate the kind words!
Any word on what happen to the shirt i order on the 14th?
I sent an email to sales but didn’t get a reply yet.
Order: #11488
I’ll email K about it right now
Thanks Jordan !
Apparently this kid needs an offer. At this point, it sure couldn’t hurt for Riley to take a look at him…
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2322488-the-best-football-prospect-nobodys-ever-heard-of
I saw New Mexico QB and got the chills. The universe is a funny thing… As much as Landry drove me crazy I sure did miss that guy the last two years. I can’t even begin to imagine his numbers if he would have played in the “Air Raid” offense.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Seems to fit the exact mold he would be looking for. But then again, I don’t get paid to evaluate talent…
Exactly what I was thinking…NM QB…hmmm…sketchy.
Looks like the kid can play. Not sure if he’s D1 QB material but hes a good looking athlete. If he’s gone to all those camps and hasn’t gotten one offer, something may be up with his mechanics? But still, I don’t see why he wouldn’t get an offer. Seems like the kids a winner regardless.
Riley must like the 4 we have on campus and is wanting to use the extra spot for a wr….this kid will no doubt commit if offered and I admit i got to thinking about Landry Jones…he very well could turn into a nice qb for us if we took him…just think Riley is happy with our 4 guys and looking to the 16 class for a qb
If (when?) Mayfield wins the job, I could see one or two of the others transferring.
I’m not sold on him completely…he did well against techs ooc schedule but looked like our qbs last year against b12 competition…maybe he’s improved…maybe the others have as well…we’ll see
I really feel Allen would have never seen the field at OU except in mop-up duty like he was used to. Thompson should have a good shot at starting for Utah this season right?
Didn’t Thompson hurt his knee..and also rumors that he was looking to transfer again because he couldn’t win the job to another underclassman…Thompson would have seen the field here last season no doubt about it
He’s a got a Philip Rivers short, sidearm motion.. I don’t think that’d be enough to keep people away though… Either totally fell through the cracks or there is something not being said in the article..
Brainiacs, just read an article on Saivion Smith (IMG Bradenton, FL) Jr DB. What do you know about him. Weinke’s his coach. Is OU talking with him, yet?
Anyone else watch Nathan Fox highlights??? If not you should reminds me of a special sooner that we all know and love #BABYBOZ #HADMEATNECKROLL
5 offers, but his neckroll makes you think he’s “Baby Boz”? Lol
Cousin Boz? lol
Maybe third cousin. Boz would be a top 10 recruit, if not top 3. Neckroll or not lol
Most likely I just get excited about recruiting sometimes and make outlandish remarks. I still feel like he would be a great get
I think I saw his highlights awhile back and was wondering the same thing
I’m not sure when I started following, but I’ve been an advocate of Esco for a while. Dude is great and he knows his stuff. He also does not shy away from conversation. This site is sweet.
some people would tell you that’s a bad thing 😉
Appreciate all you do Jordan. Now go out and get some commitments dagnabit!
if only it were that easy 🙂
Only the dumb ones.
Esco did a nice job on the C&C as well. There were some pretty candid – and honest – conversations back then about the state of the program.
The best was his game analysis where he would lose it on JH every week. I would read and just laugh cause he sounded like he was pulling his hair out.
Seen the Update(1:55 pm): Mike Stoops was in Dallas today and……….Dang, got excited there for just a second. 🙂
OU should be chasing this Fehoko. He is a MLB/OLB and had 21 sacks this year. He just decommitted from Colorado
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1666683/highlights/17697379
Hes pretty good, very active “high motor” guy.
“Exciting times ahead for the Sooners.”
Those Brainiacs know something we don’t!
Dont they always…
Valid point. Just wish they would be able to share. I’m sure they would if they could. “Patience”
soon.
Did Monty hack tfb’s Twitter?
Could this perhaps be the same excitement alluded to by the #justwaitonit thing?
Seeing how much things change during a “current” recruiting season, it always blows my mind how far out schools recruit players. Just goes to show how important that long-term relationship is and how the players (and I’m the same way) need to feel needed and wanted. I wouldn’t commit to a school either if they waited until less than a month before NSD and offered me (not talking about Dahu Green here specifically). In looking at 2016, here are a few guys we need to offer soon:
DT Mike Williams, Braylon Jones.
RB Quan Hogan, Tony Jones
DE Andrew Fitzgerald
WR TJ Vasher, Javon McKinley
Is Darrion Daniels committing on NSD?
supposed to announce this Friday
Chances?
I think pretty good, but he’s a hard kid to get a read on
…..seeing where he might be leaning puke
Boren announcing holding off on stadium project–per Carey Murdock
Due to oil prices it seems… Guess we need some more snazzy uni’s to showcase for a while…
🙁 little boom
No doubt oil prices are a piece of the pie, but also from the lack of excitement from the fanbase that is a complete 180 from this time last year is hurting too
Thought they were going to sell bonds? I’m blaming the Saudis.
Does anyone tailgate south of the stadium? That looks like it’s coming to an end.
On a related note, the “Residential College” facility concept modeled after Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, etc. sounds pretty cool.
Gotta give it up to what Boren has accomplished.
Here’s an under the radar LB out west. Someone who may not get alot of attention outside of a few schools in Cali. Only problem is, once OU offers anyone, they dont stay under the radar for long.
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3473543/highlights/167847375
Man, I need to see a “BOOM” soon. This rejection is getting a little depressing.
Feels like I’m still in a relationship with my EX-wife!
Watch out! You’re teetering on negativity. There’s 3 sunshine pumpers on here that do not condone the slightest negative remark and if they deem you a threat they will unite and blast you with their passive aggressive, rainbowish, witticism.
All different kind of fans. However, I did qualify my remarks with EX-wife. Statistics tell me that about 60% of Folks understand the frustration of lack of “BOOMS”. It’s all good…
Can someone please explain to me what oil prices have to do with stadium expansion?
$$$ $$$ $$$.
?????
A lot of big time donors are “big time” because of the oil market. Oil prices go down, they don’t have as much money, they can’t/won’t donate the big bucks and/or purchase the new suites.
“Don’t have as much money”, or “not making as much as they were a few months ago”?
That’s essentially the same thing. If the value of assets dramatically decreases, it makes it much more difficult to share the returns.
I am not sure if he’s a donor, but Harold Hamm (sp?) has lost something like $10 billion in the last six months.
Pretty sure his charitable giving has been throttled back.
Well to be fair, he gave $1B to his ex-wife in the divorce settlement, lol.
Think about that! losinig a bill in a divorce….and that’s the least of your money woes.
…….and she said it wasn’t fair
That sucks. I’ll try my worst to feel sorry for him.
so you hate the guy cause he’s loaded?
No
You must not live in Oklahoma!
I do. And I love paying $1.74 a gallon for gas.
Oil money drives the Oklahoma economy
Donors all work in the oil industry and they didn’t have the funds secured.
So, a lot of the donors are oil barrens. Oil is worth less now, hence the major donors don’t have as much cash. Got it. Thanks, fellas.
Allow me to simplicate and proctologize myself. It has to do with the evacuation of the condensation of moleculation. The gigantitory effects of the liquidation of sedentary calories contained herewithin heretofore has emaculated the countenance properties. I appreciate your flatulations.
preciate it
Your prescience is pregnated.
What he said!
You don’t have to talk to us like we’re in grade school. 🙂
He said he’ll have the fish. Jive Turkey. – Airplane!
Stop it! I dying over here….lmao
Have a good evening fellers. The OU brass screwed the pooch on this one!
Agree to disagree. Our facilities aren’t going to hold us back. Other than a weight room, everything else is nice.
https://twitter.com/TheFranchize__/status/560566396393111556
Over/Under 12 months before he’s playing DE?
Switching back to an even front?
Oh I have no inside knowledge of that, although I would be for it.
I just think he might outgrow the LB spot.
I’ll take the over…
I’ll take the way over as in never. Unless he goes north of 250 we’re too LB starved to put him anywhere else.
I’m hoping Butkus.
So what they’re really saying is, “We probably shouldn’t have waited forever to actually upgrade our facilities to current standad’s. Hmm, sorry Bob. Hope this won’t hurt recruiting and ticket sales.”
And hey let’s announce that were putting off stadium expansion a week before nsd and after the coaching staff has been selling recruits on new facilities for months now! That is such a great idea!
Yeah, they didn’t really think that one through. Nice of them do it right before NSD.
If I didnt know better you’d think between how Boren handled the Shannon situation and now this that hes almost trying to sabotage the football program and BStoops. Now I know thats ridiculous but for sure Borens decisions havent been football friendly as of late.
I get that the funds are suddenly not available for renovations but they sure seem to be available for his pet residential project.
It’s time for Boren to retire.
You again. Just a ray of sunshine…
Lol, you don’t know me bro. Boren has been making bad decisions since conference realignment and Kish needs to go. If you disagree then you are wrong and that’s all there is to it. You’re gonna try and pigeon hole me because I complained about 2 things? Go ahead. Most would agree with me.
And now the nominees for “Know it all and if you don’t agree with me you’re wrong” Hall of Fame Award:
@jtrain51:disqus
(looks at card and sees no other nominees)
(acts confused and stammers)
Uh, er, the winner is…
Bet you act confused and stammer a lot
My emancipation has been proliferated to the point of arousal and inoculation.
heh heh
I see you studied at the same University as this guy….lol…classic…
“you don’t know me bro”
don’t want to and there’s several in your know it all camp that are right there with you sparky
Good to know, thanks for clarifying.
haha. anytime. there’s quite a few pessimists who speak in absolutes. can’t stand that but water under the bridge after you clarified to ray.
JTrain huh, more like JTrainwreck amiright?
Some don’t like decisions he’s made, just as many think he is the best Pres. ever at OU. You are entitled to your opinion, just leave out the part that everyone else is wrong. Personally I don’t have an opinion on him one way or the other.
I was speaking about Kish needing to be gone when I made that statement about “being wrong”. I just didn’t clarify good. This guy got mad a couple of days ago bc I was critical of Kish. That’s what I was referring to.
Anyone who knows anything knows that Boren has been a great President for the University and the Football Program.
“but i just want to bitch. can’t you just let me bitch?”
Speaking of bitches
i know. pleased to meet you. i’m boomersooner
Lol
JTrain, I’m frustrated on the no football expansion too. Let’s just try to agree and disagree in a normal way. I’m not getting on ya, just trying to keep the site enjoyable for everyone.
I totally agree but like anyone else if someone comes after me I’m gonna to get back at them. I’m sure you can understand that. Not the 1st time he’s said something either but that’s the first time I’ve retorted.
Not sure revenge is the way to go. However, the goal of the board is to agree and disagree in a civil or educated manor. Revenge really doesn’t fit in that category. Don’t mean to be the police and not going after you but just a voice of reason. thanks for reading if you got this far.
Would have totally agreed with this 3-5 years ago. In my opinion his decision making has been less than stellar since conference realignment. He was made to look foolish and weak by texas. It’s went downhill since.
Look how Boren handled Shannon, he just announced that he’s putting off stadium expansion a week before nsd after the coaching staff have been selling recruits on new facilities. But announces he’s spending $125 million on a dorm and parking garage which is around 1/3 of the stadium expansion budget. A stadium expansion that should have been done 5 years ago. Keep pumping sunshine if you want. Is it the end of the world? No. Is it a poor decision that’s detrimental to recruiting which is the lifeblood of a college football program? Yes absolutely
@BoomerDave:disqus, the above is why many grow frustrated with message boards. JT will not be happy.
Or maybe Carey needs to retire lol. Weird situation.
Update added re: Lincon Riley’s contract
Sigh….im in the wrong business.
Hope we look back in a year and feel like we got a bargain.
what were we paying JH?
In the neighborhood of 700K.
I actually thought he would be making more. I like it even better now.
He probably understands if he is succesful here and garners national attention, he can basically write a number down for his next gig or even maybe a HC position.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a big stay bonus and some bonuses for success. Which makes perfect sense imo.
I was thinking at least 750
I would rather let a coach get raises on merit rather than over pay from the start.
Exactly. Most any job you start at lower pay, and then give raises based on performance.
I’m sure the Price of Oil is playing a major part in the Remodeling. But if Bob can actually win a NC or even a Big12 title outright. Donor’s will start opening up they’re check books.
Don’t plan this upgrade if you can’t aecure the funds. It’s that simple.
I think pledges were made before the oil price drop, some didn’t see it coming. If people are pulling back based on personal financial positions, can’t really blame them.
I’m confused why everyone is so upset about the stadium expansion. It’s not like people were demanding an upgrade before the announcement for them was made.
They are still eating in the same place as Switzer’s boys. Think about that timeframe. It’s not even close to OSU much less the big boys. Think tOSU, Bama’s of the world would cancel their renovations? I think not. To me, there was more smoke to this than we know.
No they don’t. They have a brand new facility that they just opened about a year ago. And they would if they’re donors were in a similar financial position as ours are. http://www.soonersports.com/fls/31000/projects/facilities/brushed/headington.html?DB_OEM_ID=31000
That’s a living area for some athletes and regular students. It’s an OU thing, not an athletic dorm. Don’t mean to argue, I like your stuff. It just smells due to the timing. To me, that’s a slap in the face to the athletic program, not just football.
I appreciate your opinion, I just think you’re misinformed.
It is an athletic dorm. By rule, even an athletic dorm has to be 51% non-athlete.
Also, I think sometimes people forget that OU is a university with a football team, not a football team with a university. The timing is going to have little to no impact on recruiting. There was a board meeting today, so they announced it. Simple as that.
I get it. However, their facilities are extremely outdated compared to the top notch teams. I’m not going overboard, just a little frustrated with the process or lack thereof.
Which facility is outdated? Locker rooms? Nope. Indoor? Nope. Dorms? Opposite. Dining? Opposite. Stadium? No way.
The only facility that lags behind is the weight room.
I guess i just over reacted
Ha, no worries. If you ever get a chance, you should tour the facilities. It’s very impressive.
I’ve toured several top facilities across the country and ours are not on the same level. I will leave it at that.
The locker rooms are pretty dated…and the pool rooms could use a big face lift.
http://www.soonersports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=208803928
This is dated?? It was done 5 years ago!
So I just got a notification saying that Boren is denying that the expansion is being delayed? I’m so confused. Help.
Let me show ya sumptin…
I find that a steady flow of alcohol tends to clear things up a bit.
In.
Lol, maybe he played the media into posting something unofficial just so he could gauge the fan reaction and then make a decision.
or how bout he’s playing the spy who lets out info to see where the leak is. only give it to a certain few and see how it shakes out the other side. ol’ damn seeking anonymity got us again
soonerbear52 knows what’s up 🙂
Pretty shrewd move if that’s the case. I like it.
cold war baby
He was chair of the Intelligence Committee in the US Senate.
Wonder if OU is plugging leaks. Boren had that report awfully fast, and knew it was from the AD. Any chance someone was intentionally fed bad info?
So according to Jason Kersey’s twitter, Boren pulled out the article about stadium expansion and shot it down. Interesting. Starting to think the story could have some truth, but Boren didn’t want it getting out yet.
I don’t understand why we offered Dahu Green so late in the process. Is he a Plan B prospect? I mean if he is OU good now, why not before?
The guys evaluating before didn’t like the fit. The new OC likes Dahu. Different strokes for different folks. I like it, Dahu has been a fan favorite on this site for a very long time.
You’re right. Didn’t think of that. Speaking of thinking, I like how the new guy thinks.
Apparently, Norvell didn’t like him as much as Riley does. He is a hard recruit to figure out. Seems to be a great talent with very few offers. I really think he can play, but I’m not a D-1 coach either.
Well there is the question can Norvell coach? Last year’s performance would suggest otherwise. If the new kid on the block likes Dahu, so do I.
Found this on LT. Had to share it with you.
This may be my new profile pic in the near future…
no man. yours is part of what makes you you. you even had easton writing about you in the one thread. haha
Haha! Yeah, maybe it could just be a NSD special event or something…I’ll always be a mullet/mustache man.
love it. you’ll be our charlie brown or something
LOL! Always looking for a way to freshen it up! My profile pic is where Michael Jackson got the idea for that one album cover…I just did it wayyyy better. This goes the same for dancing.
I found that glove you lost. 🙂
And there it is. Right after I sold the other one at a yard sale.
Once OU is Harvard I will take care of the football program!!Remember the debacle with the Borens friend from Wisconson and the OU Pride!!What a screw up!!!
lol
Hey DB, I think those “shovel ready jobs” was some other bafoons campaign speech! How about asking some of your “National Merit Scholar” grads to pony up a few more bucks since they got a FREEEEEE OUT OF STATE degree. Oh, that’s right, they went back home to a job, and the poor state of Oklahoma got ZILCH.
Hey Jordan — is TFB part of 247 Sports now? I saved the website to my favorites bar and it shows up with 247 icon in front of it.
Um, absolutely not.
Lol. I was going to ask a similar question but not about 247. I listened to part of hales show today and instead of Thomas he had a guy “drake” and I was going to ask earlier if this is Brandon?
I thought “Ace” and Drake were the same person? Or maybe Ace just went to Drake and Drake is a different person.
Thanx. Must be my computer.
no worries. i’ve experienced something similar at times w/ other sites as well. but to be honest, i don’t really pay that much attention to it 🙂
hmmmm…..

Upvoting this based on faith in Super Hero’s.
It’s election time and it’s got my vote.
Jordan, we need a “Go Green” day to get the Hulk’s attention. Can you all pull it off?
How about this BOOM!

The only thing I don’t like about the Riley contract is the length. 2 years seems a little light for someone who’s supposed to bring in a change. Maybe they plan to see how things go first, but I would have at least made it 3 or 4 years with outs in-case something happens.
Maybe he has bigger plans himself and doesn’t want too much of a penalty if he succeeds and gets offered a hc job
Possible he wanted the 2 year contract so in year 3 he could renegotiate a higher salary based up performance. BTW, my first post here.
Welcome, sorry we don’t have a prize.
No problem. Finding this site is prize enough.
How did you discover it?
Google. I was looking for a good source of Sooner information. After a few weeks of watching and reading, I decided to register and join in. I live in Alabama so I’m limited in finding good information.
I was born and raised I Georgia. I stumbled across this site last year about this time. There are a lot of great posters on here.
Hi I’m one of them….you’re welcome.
Solid post.
Henh
Hank!
It’s saying something that we’ve turned disqus into a message board. It’s not really set up for it, but we make it happen!
We are the grease on the cog.
Greetings and felicitations!
You live in Rocket City, Alabama
RCS, welcome! I live in LA (Lower Alabama), so it’s nice to see a fellow denizen of delusional country on this board. BTW, for any of you “Roll Bama Roll” posters taking a break from talking about each other’s penis on your board, “denizen” is somebody who lives someplace.
And, as you can tell from my screen name I’m in Northern Alabama.
No prize!?!
Will this do?
WELCOME!
Welcome to one of the best places to talk OU football.
Welcome!
Welcome! You will be blown away with the informationTFB provide.
I think two to three years is more standard with assistants. You and they both assume that, if they are good, they are going to move up. You want a good coach, the good coaches don’t want to get locked out of going to the next level so they are less likely to sign with you if you try to lock them in.
I am glad Riley is at OU but with the programs ??? Stoops may be gone after 2 years!!I hope not!!Go Sooners!!!!!!!
Changing the subject for a minute, Sooners are leading 46-17 early in 2nd half. Spangler is having a helluva game.
With 15 minutes to go they lead by 36.
Don’t see Tubby calling many timeouts in this one.
Love it.
And sadly LNC is 1/4 full. You wanna talk about a needed facility update…
Like fewer seats?
That wouldnt hurt. And maybe above grade so there’s some daylight in there. Something small and intimate.
They could put a sandy beach around the upper level.
Or just sell beer. That would help.
This is like a women’s game. Beating a conference opponent by 40?? Ouch.

It’s official Monty hacked tfb
Ugh. Not a fan of the cryptic social media nonsense.
“I have secrets. I’m not going to tell you what they are, but I want you to know that I have them.”
I will say if there’s a slight story/name being held, I’m ok with it. If end the end the kid ends up somewhere else then I won’t feel like we lost out like I feel about Neal and jefferson. And that’s not tfb’s fault for everyone thinking those were locks, other sites were promoting the same info.
Yeah I don’t get mad at TFB when/if they’re wrong. It’s free info and kids change their minds. No big deal.
I just never understand the point of the cryptic stuff. And especially this one. What the heck does a flat earth have to do with hope? I think someone at TFB is at happy hour.
I’m hoping that it is more to do with awesome coaching hires, then the kids will come
It’s about time to harvest that crop.
One week to reaping day.
Jordan Woodard dunk was spectacular.
Twitter fun at the bar.
I see the analogy between recruiting and farming….but I grew up in the country.
Me too. I guess I’m too slow to get it. Flat earth is good for farming right?
Can’t speak for the person behind the tweet but this is my take, The field is a flat piece of earth, the ground is worked and seeds are planted ( the recruiter working the recruit ), Fertilizer and rain (follow up visits), then if all goes right the crop is harvested…..BOOM!
This makes sense. Thanks for the translation Ray.
i got a chuckle here. thanks
tictac sir?
Do you all think the spring game will be closed this year? I think it may, due to installing a new O.
I think the practices will, but not the spring game. It is a great opportunity to build fan support and sell soda.
It will be served in the flavor of vanilla.
Mmmm…vanilla cokes.
Yeah I could see it like that, but don’t want to show all our cards to the rest of the big12
I hope not..it is a good recruiting tool…guys like to be on tv..ya know
Shots
nice. you got a whole theme going tonight
I found a treasure trove.
I’m getting a buzz just watching this.
I liked the guitarists you posted a couple of nights ago, except I used to think I could play till I watched it. Those guys are incredible.
Three of my all time favorites. Paco DeLucia, Al Dimeola and John Maclaughlin.
People in the U.S. don’t know much about Paco, he refuses to sign a deal with a label and chooses to stay independent.
One of his best loved pieces he didn’t get credit for, but Bryan Adams did.
http://youtu.be/hq2KgzKETBw
Given that list, I think you might enjoy Leo Kottke. Check him out.
Yessir, have been a Kottke fan for decades and have some his vinyl.
I figured. I’ve got some of his vinyl as well. I like his acoustic stuff the best, but “Pamela Brown” is a fun little ditty.
It’s not like the big twelve has never seen a passing offense. We got nothing to hide. Stop us.
CBS has a watergate thing going on right now so who knows what he will do
Really hoping we get Green!
I can’t stop thinking about McGinnis and Daniels.
Well…here’s to Christmas coming late.
There are a bunch of good ones we are still in on.
Agreed! I’m just passively optimistic due to the silent confidence of Monty on Twitter. Hoping these coaches can bring it in on NSD.
They have always seemed to pull it together on signing day. I wouldn’t be surprised even a little if there was a big name recruit that falls to us on NSD.
McGinnis & Houston, would that be a haul along with Daniels. Now if the baby face killer and his sidekick came too, well now, we would have to throw a party.
Dang, that would put is in compo with USC for the #2 recruiting class.
Your nickname of Murray if spot on and I’ve used it several times. Love nicknames more than their initials. Night Train Lane, stuff like that just give me goose bumps. The other stuff doesn’t do it but I guess it’s the times
Yeah, now they use one name or change their name to suit their alias.
Dandy Don, Roger the Dodger, Too Tall, Manster, Stork and who could forget Crazy Legs along with too many to list, love a good nic.
Brainiacs, ever heard of this guy??? http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2322488-the-best-football-prospect-nobodys-ever-heard-of?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=editorial
Looks like he could be picked up with just a phone call. Wonder what the problem is.
Baffling, ain’t it?
No telling how long it has been since rivals updated his page.
http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Easton-Bruere-148226
Maybe he wouldn’t be a fit for us but to have zero offers, there must be more to this story.
Must be. For his rivals page to just be blank after the season he just had is remarkable.
My guess is we’ll take an extra wr this class unless it is Murray….I’d take him though…the Landry years weren’t that terrible
Probably not enough publicity from Rivals, 247, etc. There may be just one guy if that, that covers HS sports nationally out there. As opposed to CA, FLA, TEX, for example.
I can understand several 2A, 3A guys slipping through the cracks but the largest class in the state, hard to believe he doesn’t have a single offer especially from a local University.
they explain it in the article. New mexico state i think it was, took 6 QB’s in their last class.
Tulsa and iowa state were both going to offer, but ended up getting verbals from kids they already offered.
Strange, some people earlier said they saw 247 associated with TFB in their browser, now im seeing the B/R icon in front of TFB’s name on my chrome tab.
I’ve had a couple weird things happen this evening when refreshing the page…..like I was being redirected to another site.
im guessing its due to the site upgrade. Maybe they changed hosts or something.
I chalked it up to the upgrade or a server reboot, went to another site for a few minutes and came back and everything seems fine. Not sure about what you or others experienced.
here is a SS of what im talking about.

It’s a cache issue, so it could be on the server or your browser.
Can anyone else cache it…..like is it contagious?
Yes, it’s a virus…

ahh ok thanks.
Can we convert the cache to Bitcoin?
Proud of my old high school and the new (2nd season) coaching staff for making such a dramatic improvement in the power lifting program.
http://www.marshallnewsmessenger.com/sports/high_school/marshall-mavericks-take-team-title-in-powerlifting-meet/article_2747d8b1-99e3-542f-b1be-fc678d98a0f6.html
Awesome.
After a horrible two years, the past two seasons have shown dramatic improvement with this staff. They made the playoffs the past two seasons and had it ended by Lancaster this year.
Gonna be a long 8 months.
So we drop Heupel and are able to get his replacement for less money. I’d call that icing on the cake.
Found a QB that Riley should look at for this class. No offers and he was an all state player for his state. Easton Bruere,
Someone Tweet Riley
Read an article about him. He measures up, 6’3 200lbs also plays at a 6a school.
Some ‘good night’ music.
By the way Tex, I almost cried watching that Johnny Cash video you posted a few days ago. Admittedly I had never seen that one before, but I must have watched it 20 or 30 times since then. Thanks for the post 🙂
Glad to know that.
And to think I almost didn’t post it because of the sweaty eyeball risk to me. 🙂
I have probably watched that video a hundred times since I first saw it.
Nothing like a classical guitar at bedtime….and a good song to boot.
