– Tramonda Moore: Last night Oklahoma offered 2016 OL Tramonda Moore (6’6″ 330 – Oklahoma City, OK) out of John Marshall. Moore is a guy Alex discovered about two months ago (here), and we were all really impressed with his size and athleticism. To me, Moore and Tyler Brown were the two in-state OL both in-state programs should go after. Both Moore and Brown are raw prospects, but in my estimation when it comes to a combination of length, fluidity throughout the lower body, initial burst, and snap in the hips, they are about as good as it gets in offensive linemen.

Moore also picked up an Ok State offer last week if you weren’t already aware. When I had a chance to speak with Moore, I asked if a commitment was at all imminent. He said the current plan is to “take a little time” before making a decision. It may also be worth noting Moore’s head coach over at John Marshall is former Oklahoma State player, Rashaun Woods. Not sure just yet how, if at all, that may factor into Moore’s decision. – (Super K)

– Bryce Youngquist: For a while now OU has been sitting in the Top 5 for talented 2016 linebacker Bryce Youngquist (Rancho Cucamonga, CA). Youngquist is a prospect I am personally very high on, and I previously offered some notes about his game here.

Yesterday, Youngquist let me know he will finally make his trip out to Oklahoma next week. During the trip, he is planning to visit OU, Wisconsin, Illinois & Northwestern.

In a recent conversation I had with Youngquist, he told me he was very high on Oregon right now. He said he loved his visit there and it sounds like if he had to pick right now, that’s where he would go. This, despite the fact his mom ran track at Arizona State.

But the Sooners will still have their chance to turn his head on this upcoming visit. He’s likely going to leave the state of California wherever he eventually winds up committing, so this is a battle that can definitely still be won. – (Super K)

– Team News: Checked with a couple sources on the young linebackers and one name I keep hearing over and over is Curtis Bolton. I have been told by two separate sources now that Bolton can ‘really run’ and is having ‘a great summer.’

I also asked about Ricky DeBerry and Arthur McGinnis as well. Was told DeBerry has not been cleared just yet (as of yesterday) since he arrived late. So I’d expect him to be good to go next week. Also told McGinnis hasn’t been able to run or participate in much thus far, other than weight lifting, due to some kind of minor (key word) lower body issue. But again, just to be clear, based on what I was told it sounded very minor, so I’d expect him to be good to go here soon. – (Super K)
