Open Post | Monday, April 18th (UPDATE 4:58 pm)
Posted on: April 18, 2016
– Ceedee Lamb: 2017 WR and OU commit, Ceedee Lamb (Richmond, TX) was expected to visit LSU this past weekend. As many of you know Lamb is originally from Louisiana and grew up an LSU fan.
I spoke to Lamb yesterday who told me that a family member was ill and as a result he did not make the trip to LSU.
Lamb tweeted out the following yesterday…
https://twitter.com/_CeDariann/status/721754090774986752
This is the second or third time Lamb has intended to visit LSU but hasn’t and it feels like the longer it takes the better position OU is in. – (Super K)
– Spring Visits | Addison Gumbs: The Oklahoma staff has begun their spring visit period. If you want to know how high a priority pass rushing specialist, Addision Gumbs (Heyward, CA) is, it appears the Sooners are visiting him on their first day out. Gumbs tells me that Mike Stoops will be out to see him today.
As we mentioned, Gumbs will be narrowing his list down very soon and has let us know that the Sooners are sitting in a good spot. We believe the Sooners can win Gumbs’ commitment. – (Super K)
– Spring Visits | Kobe Boyce: I also spoke to Texas CB commit, Kobe Boyce (Lake Dallas, TX). Boyce has been in communication with Oklahoma for a while and has been told by the Sooners staff that they are waiting to see him in person before they offer him. Boyce said that Oklahoma is expected to visit him tomorrow. – (Super K)
– Spring Visits | IMG: We are also expecting OU coaches to hit IMG in the coming week to see players like 2017 WR Jhamon Ausbon and 2018 OL Curtis Dunlap.
– UPDATE (3:32 pm): Some of you were asking about DT targets…
Star 2017 CA DT, Deonte Johnson (@King_DJ01) tells me he will be visited by #Sooners today.

Sooner!!
OU coaches take a visit to see James Robinson , he wants to be a Sooner.
What makes you say that?
I love all the skilled players in this class, Ready for some big fellas to come aboard!!
Hope your family is okay Mr. Lamb!

How are things going with DT recruiting? We are going to need to replace a lot soon and we didn’t get any DT’s last year. We need another Tommie Harris!
Yep ageed,we did get a bad Spanish speaking Dt last year!
Hey!! He’s working on his Spanish and his game.
You should run back to the Daily and post that there’s an Open Post up.
OK!!!!!!!!!
Guess they didn’t believe me!
It’s a trust building exercise. Put it up and they will come.
I sorta trust you Metz.
Sorta is a first baby step,thanks Rick.
I sure hope you know when your chain is getting pulled 🙂
Of course..
I have no trust in Metz; he can believe that.
Whattttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wassup, brother?
You know I had to take that shot. It was low hanging fruit.
All good Sam ,hit it outta the park.
Are you part of the WWE shield or Roman Reigns #BelieveThat
???
You Metz be kidding always trust the Metz he don’t lie unless he has been drinking which in all fairness he is honest about that.
It’s a little tricky right now because they offered Deiontae Watts but it doesn’t sound like there has been a ton of contact since then. They’re recruiting Deontre Thomas a little. Marvin Wilson is obviously a priority. I’m thinking they’re going to be looking for a couple 4is and one nose and we should seem some names emerge this spring.
Hoping to see more names emerge as the confidence level on Wilson and Rogers and Byers is low unless you’re hearing something different. I really like D. Thomas at 4i. Has enough size and is outstanding off the ball. To me, he’s a kid that would sell his soul and play hs heart out for OU, like Overton.
Forgot about Rogers. Thanks! He definitely likes OU.
Give him a call and show him some love. See if he has had that DNA test yet.
HAHA best comment ever
Seems and feels like this class could be 1 elite DL commit (signee) away from being a true top 3 class nationally..
That and I think it’s a matter of time before we land a 4⭐️ RB.
The way things stand right now with SoonerSquad17 being so damn awesome for us.
Just a matter of time when they will claim some other big time players..
I know its super early but Nelson Mbansor can improve his stock this coming season. He’s got more than a handful of offers now but that’s someone we may want to keep an eye on. Especially if we miss out on our top target.
any rumors on 2nd mbb asst for kruger
How about those gymnastic teams!?! Give ’em some love!
Thanks for posting, these kids are great and rep OU ,to the max.
watching sports blitz last nite and it got maybe 10 secs mention when they devote/waste several mins to predictions/percentages……
Mark Williams is one of the most outstanding coaches regardless of sport, and clearly #1 in gymnastics. I like what KJ Kindler is doing, but Coach Williams is in another stratosphere. Very proud to have him on our side!
some of the coaches who are not producing as effectively should be required to forfeit some of their salaries and the money given to the coaches who ARE producing titles….Stoops , Coale, and Hughes come to mind as those being overpaid .Wiliams, Kindler, & Gasso deserve raises……
Really do think that if they play this thing right the Sooners will land Gumbs.
Just wish Bob would have went with Mike.
Don’t you mean Bob would have gone instead of Mike.
I stand corrected.
They just need to get a wireless headset that uses cellular technology and Bob can hand the headset to Gumbs and say “here talk to Mike.” That would be just like when he gets to campus.
Lmao
Hey Mike being in the booth has done wonders for the D. Maybe it will help with recruiting too.
You are one sharp man Bob.
Watching him scream at Julian during that Baylor game was something else. I’m glad he’s up on the booth.
Saban screams as well. Get over it. The difference is Saban wins titles.
I’m all for coaches laying into a player and Julian probably deserved it that game, but it doesn’t change the fact it looks awful on national television to have players and coaches screaming at each other. Telling me to get over it? Maybe you should get over yourself and not act like you’re the only one who dealt with a coach that screamed.
I guess I am old school. Coaches scream and there is nothing wrong with it.When they touch players ala Woody Hayes and Bob Knight that’s when you draw a line. For what it’s worth, I have a clip where MS is going crazy on Monty and I think that’s more inappropriate than yelling at a player. I think Monty moved on due in part to MS. But again, he’s a coach.
It’s not even about being “old school” it was the fact that tv caught the entire altercation between MS and Julian where both were screaming at one another. That’s the part that I didn’t like. Like I said, I’ve got no issue with coaches tearing a player a new one from time to time because it’s happened to all of us that played sports. I too cannot stand a person of authority screaming at someone below them. You’re probably right about Monty leaving. Btw I apologize for snapping at you.
DHS……….think you are right….
Having better players & a QB sure didn’t hurt.
I’m so confused…
Mike is a good recruiter and glad he’s going.
Especially since he got Kelly.
Didn’t say he wasn’t.
Put Bob on Wilson. Whoever is coming to Houston will not make it. Wow, we got killed last night with flooding.
Chuck is the only one recruiting Wilson
Chuck?
Strong
I saw that on the news. Prayers go out to HTown and I hope all is well buddy.

If so, do they stop recruiting Browning and look more to Hines inside ?
Awesome
After his tape, it was a no brainer. Mike needs to close as we can’t have enough pass rushers – thanks
Agree on Lamb. No Lsu visit but a tweeted pic of him and Baker instead seems like a really good sign. I’m liking it. Thanks, K, for helping put out the current ‘de-commit’ fire.
Did Bandy visit LSU?
I don’t know if he actually made it but was scheduled to attend the LSU spring game.
Thanks for the info on Lamb K. You didnt happen to ask him why he took down his OU banner on Twitter did you?
I have noticed some Sooners are questioning OU eval process on in state lineman. Question Given the history of the last few year’s being slow played and loosing such player’s to other school’s. What should Bob’s attitude or concerns be with in state kid’s recruitment? I would say Bob has definitely made some change’s with this SOONER17 class.
We also have the overall #2 2018 recruit in OT Brey Walker. So there’s that.
We are also on the Shawnee kid too. Got Robertson last year so I think they are doing well.
Creed Humphrey?
Yes…some believe he’s ours to loose. I believe they have the big guns recruiting him.
..and the coaches are stopping by IMG. Curtis Dunlap, a top OG is big on OU.
Are we losing them to other schools or did we just find players we wanted more? We can only take so many so we have to get the best ones available for our scheme. That means that we might not want the local guy. It doesn’t mean he isn’t a good player it just means we found someone we wanted more.
Some folks seem to think that OU owes an Oklahoma kid a scholly if he is a fairly good football player. That’s not the pathway to success.
Exactly. What ever happened to that QB David ? who went to Bama? We took Hansen who left because he couldn’t beat anyone out. I think OU is doing well in state. But clearly the national focus is a priority over texas-Okie
Cornwell, he’s still at Bama riding the pine.
As soonerbred4ever said he is still at Bama. Heard his name mentioned today on local radio. He’s apparently 4th string. Looks like he got passed up by a freshman. Doesn’t sound like we missed much.
I seem to recall hearing that his (Cornwell) problems are due to lack of maturity. It sounds like he pissed his shot away last year and has now been recruited over.
Either way, you’re right: we didn’t miss out on anything.
Very telling that he never received that OU offer.
We get most of the Oklahoma talent every year. I know some kids slip through the cracks and other teams pick them and surprise, they end up being awesome. It happens. I think this year Oklahoma has done all they need to do. If the evaluate a kid for the OL and they feel he is a take then good but, if not why risk the scholarship.
Gumbs, Kelly, Draper, Jackson ( maybe Hines ). I dont think we’d even have to play the games. The other teams would just forfeit in advance.
Thank you Super K
Now just need to hear some good news on DT recruiting and I’ll be a happy camper.
Does Kobe Boyce fit the template we’re using to assess defensive back recruits?
Bandy, Barnes, Brown, Broiles… and Boyce. Yeah, I think maybe he does.
The Killer B’s
How was Bandy visit to L$U go?
Look at Lambs twitter a very funny wide out slaps a dbs head off,i couldnt copy it!
Watched that over the weekend, funny stuff.
The coach laughing his ass off
Coach may have told him to do it. It was titled “when a DB won’t quit holding”.
I can see a ref throwing the flag and laughing!
It could be the Silence of the LAMBS. I have a feeling nick names will be coming.
Have we gotten all we are to get on the performances in the spring game?
I’d rather Lamb get the visit over with. If he’s gonna de-commit, I’d rather it be now. It’s a numbers game at WR and would allow us to get back on other guys that we had to back away from.
No, I tend to agree with Super K, “the longer it takes the better position OU is in.” Especially if he’s staying close with the other 2017 guys and getting more and more comfortable with the idea of joining them for a special team in Norman. Boomer!
Taking OU or any other university out of the equation, you have to love it for these kids. As a man of color, I like that these kids have such great opportunities at such a young age. I was never presented with this opportunity. Lamb has been very respectful. I’m happy he’s committed to OU. But I’m happier knowing that he will be able to graduate college without a hefty bill.
I’m an OU fan. I hope no one questions that. But I also root for people. Choices are good.
Agree that it’s great that these kids have a lot of options.
Just hoping that Lamb doesn’t decide to join the grass-eating Mad Hatter who’s somehow still running the show at LSU.
Hmmmmmm?
OMAR
You know I would have to give Bob his prop’s. There has alway’s been some kind of stigma attached to Bob about recruiting in state, some folk’s do think that it should be automatic just because they are in state. I feel Bob has sent a message to all in state atheletes, you better improve your game level to national level if you want to compete at OU it’s a standard
Back in the Switzer days, we had another 35 scholarships we could give out. In those days we could afford to take a risk on some local guys and hope they pan out. Nowadays with fewer scholarships there is not a lot of room for misses. That means fewer guys we can afford to take a chance on. If you want to be the best, you have to recruit the best and, unfortunately, that means sometimes we just can’t afford to take a shot on a local guy unless we are sure he has that #OUDNA.
I agree. OU has passed on some great “legacy” kids, too, that they likely would have offered if there were a few more scholarships.
The NCAA says they are their to help the student athletes, but since I have been watching they have cut scholarship limits from 120 to 85. How many more players would have gotten a “free” education if they hadn’t done that? If they stopped paying coaches millions of dollars a year they could afford a few more scholarships.
Not only has reducing scholarship limits kept a lot of kids from getting a chance to get a university education, it has also decreased the depth on teams making it more likely that injured players are back on the field before they should be. The good ole NCAA…
True. Switzer has even said he would offer kids that were not top notch just so that other teams couldn’t get them…just in case they matured.
Super K is da man!
Thanks!
Dj Johnson is only listed at 240 on the sites I’ve seen. He’s being recruited as a DT?
I think its similar spot to Charles Walker… got alot of room to put on weight wherever he goes
Thanks K for the news,yall have a nice day——-
You forgot to say “metz out”. 🙂
We both know “metz out” only mean until I get back in. May be tomorrow, may be from the fav watering hole 15 minutes away, but he may be lurking even now.
OOPS Metz out, but back now!
Deonte Johnson is a star , we need this dude.
Not sure if I have watched his film yet but I am happy to see some interest from a DT at this point. I’ll check him out.
Greg Roger loves OU , and we have plenty time to land Marvin Wilson. But Deonte Johnson reminds of Myles Garrett from the gaggies , this dude is athletic , he did have this one play that reminded me of when Charles Tapper ran down Amari Cooper in the sugar bowl.
Just now finding info on him, is he a Louisville commit?
No , he’s a 4 star kid from Cali
I hope I’m watching the right film. lol.
I’m on the right guy, I just noticed he re-tweeted a Louisville commit. I need a tweet tutor.
Would that be a twutor?
Let us know what you think. We’re on pins and needles.
I’ll have my people contact your people.
You don’t have people.
I have Peeps leftover from Easter, I call them my people.
So it’s possible you might run out of people.
Only if someone shows up that likes those sticky things. 🙂
I call them trash.
Now that is funny!!!!!!
I don’t know what class he’s playing there in Sacramento but he is easy to spot on the field and has a big motor. I’m a big fan of his style, not so much his music. 🙂
Is there a hudl link? I can’t find anything on 24/7.
I clicked on the twitter link K posted, then clicked on a youtube link on the left side of his page which took me to his hudl. I’m sure there is a better way but it worked for me.
Thank you, sir.
This is him.

Thanks, Stephen!
Suprised that eno Benjamin got outta the big 12.. I think he is a really good running back
The 4 star TE Riley visited today looks legit on film.
Hopefully Nelson Mbanasor shows out this fall and picks up some offers from the big boys. Been hearing good things and the kid just looks the part. PJs BIG little brother. ’17 DE
