– Du’Vonta Lampkin: I spoke with a source yesterday who is close to 2015 Texas DT signee, Du’Vonta Lampkin. Here are the notes I received from my source regarding where things currently stand:
* Lampkin put in a request from the NCAA to be immediately released from his NLI.
* Texas was required to respond by business close on Friday July 17th, which they did.
* Earlier this week, the NCAA denied Lampkin’s request to be immediately released.
* Lampkin will now have to wait till the end of the summer (i.e. after fall camp) in order to receive a mandatory release due to his inability to qualify for entry to the University of Texas.
Obviously, it would have been a great thing had Lampkin been immediately released, because he would have been permitted to participate in fall camp at whatever school he eventually chose to attend. But in reality, the NCAA’s denial is only delaying the inevitable. As Lampkin will not qualify at Texas and will receive an automatic release at the end of the summer.
We still expect Oklahoma to be a primary player for Lampkin. – (Super K)
– Caesar Williams: Oklahoma has been communicating with 2016 South Grand Prairie cornerback Caesar Williams for quite some time. In fact, Williams visited OU last fall. But as of yet, an offer still has not been extended.
Williams made it up to Norman today for an unofficial visit. He sent me a quick text after his visit and said the Oklahoma coaches told him that an offer may come soon. – (Super K)
SGP (TX) DB Caeser Williams, Skyline (TX) DT Joe Wallace, & Duncanville (TX) DB Jaron Bryant are visiting #Oklahoma today. @TheFbBrainiacs

UPDATE (4:48 pm):
2016 stud WR Audie Omotosho (@AudieOsho) out of Plano will visit OU tomorrow!

– UPDATE (6:58 pm): Just wanted to pass along that we exchanged some texts with 2015 DE Austin Roberts, who was a late commit to the Sooners, this afternoon to check on his status. As you may recall, Roberts had previously said last week that he expected to be in Norman this past Sunday.
That didn’t actually happen, but Roberts made it clear that shouldn’t be a cause for concern.
Roberts told TFB he is good to go academically and will be arriving Aug. 5th, which is the day players are being told to report. – (Brandon)

Loved the crap outta that play
Personal foul- Hitting the QB to hard
Still can’t believe you can get flagged for playing football like a man… damn shame.
ya I was so torn… One second it was the best play I had seen all year, then it was all soured by that BS personal foul call.
EXACTLY.
If only we had won the game.
been outplayed the last two years
Hey, we won last year. Sorta.
scoreboard is all that matters when the game is over
I have a solution.

Still not a personal foul.
nope ole Case just wasnt big enough to absorb the blow
that was a crappy call. it’s football not table tennis
I was sitting in the endzone, behind the backs of the OU defense when this hit occurred. Words cannot describe the sheer joy I felt seeing his foot fly up over his head …. over the tops of all the players on the field. Seeing the flag somewhat tempered my elation, but even though it was a bad officiating call, it’ll continue to be one of those plays that gets me fired up for Sooner football. The only thing that would have been better is seeing either both feet fly up or his shoe(s) flying off … or some combination thereof.
The craziest part about that hit? Striker actually slowed down before he made contact . . .
Too bad Marcel Southall didn’t make it up with his Duncanville teammate.
I’m not to bummed about Lampkin as he would likely redshirt anyway. But it’s a bad look on UT to appear to be burning a kid on purpose. Especially with Chuck and the 5 core values
saxeT is used to burning things… like the color orange

lol nice
So I saw that Ole Mi$$ is throwing the cash out again this year?
If you’re referring to Jaylon Jones verbally committing and them being players for Greg Little, I’m going to stop you right there. I’ve personally coached these two players and have known them since they were 13 yrs old. They are both better young men than they are football players and for you to insult their integrity when you don’t know anything about them is wrong.
Miss you on the board bud.
Appreciate it man. Had to take a breather. After the terrible season I couldn’t handle the constant negativity but I couldn’t sit there and let someone attack my kids like that.
With you. Glad you took up. I saw Greg at the opening and he was a man on the one on ones. Sure wish he liked OU because he will be an AA somewhere.
I can’t take the negative stuff either. However, I do like your point of view based on your expertise. Hope to see you on here soon.
Good to see your nic, coach.
It will be a new era for the Allen Eagles this year. Time for the new kids to step up and keep the tradition alive.
Glad to see the stadium and facility repairs are complete.
With all due respect/playing devil’s advocate, Ole Miss is widely known as the dirtiest recruiting college in the country. AND there is ALWAYS things we don’t know about people. ALWAYS. That’s not to discredit you or those guys, but you never know everything.
I totally understand you have your history with these guys, and I respect that. But we also have history with how Ole Miss operates.
They are? I didn’t know that. Hmm…
Yes it’s much more reliable to go with college football fan butt hurt rumors and speculation rather than my personal knowledge of kids that I’ve spent more time with than even my own children.
Yeah, rumors and speculation…that’s all that’s there…
Like I said, you never know everything. I’m not implying your guys are guilty of anything. I’m implying that Ole Miss has been and will continue to be until the NCAA finally nuts up. Therefore, there will always be that 1% thought that questions them.
And when my boys become that age, and if they’re talented enough to be in this same position, I will question and monitor how they go about it to make sure they’re doing things the right way. It sounds like you could be doing the same for them, and that’s fantastic.
I understand where you’re coming from. I’m with you, there are a lot of places out there that do things the wrong way. I’m glad we have a coach with integrity for sure. Good luck to your boys.
Curious, why isn’t OU appealing to them?
OU got in on Jaylon too late. Big Little loves coach B so I’m not giving up that dream just yet.
Do you think a 10-2 would give us a realistic shot on Greg?
Big season will obviously only help. He is a fan of the history of ou putting ol in the NFL. He was hanging out with big Trent Williams recently. It’s a long shot but I’m not willing to say no shot just yet.
Trent was at the opening working with tackles. I saw him working with Greg and he was soaking it up. Unreal to have all those pros out there having fun with HS jrs. Fun to watch.
interesting to know there’s an actual coach posting on here……..hope you’ll pipe up with insights during the season whether pos/neg
his revised visit list includes 4 SEC teams …….I’ve read nothing indicating he likes anybody in the Little 12-2….
Hope Coach B can keep up the good work cause I would love to see to Allen Tackles back together. Bobby Evans & Big Little. I’m sure that would put a smile on your face.
I’d love them all to go to OU lol. Would make my Saturdays a lot easier. Right now I’ve got to catch BYU, ASU has 2, NIU, Northwestern, A&M, Tech… at least we’ve got the Evans boys. Bobby is going to be all world and future 1st rounder and Tay is going to see the field a bunch this year and will crush it over the next few yrs. Kid made one of the greatest pic 6s I’ve ever seen in the playoffs in 2012 on a screen pass against Desoto. Love that kid.
My son watched all Allen state championships at least 6 times due to Kyler. He is a QB and loved how cool Kyler was under pressure. They say Tay is up to 235 or more. That’s big.
ASU got that good LB a couple of years ago who was a stud and OU really wanted him.
Kyler was one of the coolest kids and competitors I have ever seen. ASU got Christian Sam and safety Chad Adams. Christian was a beast and played last yr as a true freshman. That 2013 Allen team had the best HS defense I’ve ever seen. OLBs at OU and ASU and 3 of the 4 starters in secondary are all D1 kids. Couple ILBs and DL playing at smaller schools too.
Everybody cheats——some are just better at it than others and some are simply more hated by the NCAA.
According to some posts a friend sent me from his Miss. St. forums, Olde Miss is being investigated by the NCAA. Knowing how erratic that organization is in its investigations there it’s anyone’s guess what will come from it.

Any word on Austin Roberts?
Forty second?
Looks like Mike Stoops defense in that video. Every DB is 10 yards off the LOS.
G-Day minus 39. I am getting so antsy waiting for some fall football action.
1 AA wore 39; Kevin Murphy AA and another great James Goode
AA Kevin Murphy
https://youtu.be/YHqetK_zd8E
Ahh, Kevin Murphy…another stud from the OU LB stable!!!
Back when there were no weak links across the front 7. There were some studs in the video.
Love watching the vid’s from the past. So much instinct and determination to make a play.
3 All American Monsters on the D in 85. Casillas, Bozworth, and Murphy. I long for that intensity again.
Just more talented d players on those Sooners teams. Champions.
James Goode
https://youtu.be/ThXUgFCNlh0
James was at OU when I was a freshman. I loved to watch him play. He was wreaked havoc on opposing QBs and vastly underrated for an OU DE.
Thanks again, BC.
Some great Sooners and excellent videos.
I also remember SS John Anderson, he was a team captain in ’94.
I enjoy watching and sharing what I do find. Gets my blood pumping for some Sooner Football. Fall practice is right around the corner. Would love to be able to sneek in and get some practice photos. lol
Excellent recollection, I looked for some footage or even a pic of Anderson. Haven’t found one yet.
I was ready for this season back in early January. LOL!
Couldn’t find anything on Anderson either, those were some grey days in Sooner football.
I know you are right on both accounts. Was difficult to watch in early 90’s. Thank Goodness for the arrival of Bob and crew.
Yessir. I’ve followed all the Sooner great coaches(except for Bennie) and I know we have a winner and a good citizen with Bob. The cupboards are not bare at OU this year, just need to get the chemistry and leadership right with the players.
Audie looks FREAKY.
Not listed on rivals, though his twitter page says he has 30+ offers.
Looks like a 6’2″ 189lb 4.56 40yd and a over 39″ vertical jump.3 star kid who plays WR and CB but it appears OU is looking at him at WR cause his recruiters are Simmons and Gundy. Good size kid with above average hands and ball skills!
What recruiting service has the info on this young man?
247 sports has info on him.
Thank you.
Having the correct first name makes a huge difference. 🙂

i found him on 247sports sir!
Thanks, I found him. After I learned his full first name I also found him at rivals.

Slow night…
Branding and Recruiting.
Posting this here, might be an interesting read to some. Shows pics of the A&M facilities as well as the behind the scenes meetings and design discussions and how the level of detail affects recruiting.
