– Taquon Graham: 2017 DE, Taquon Graham (Temple, TX) was expected to announce his commitment decision this upcoming weekend. Last night he tweeted out the following…

Taquon holds a number of offers including one from Oklahoma. However, he was expected to commit to Texas this upcoming weekend with TCU, Baylor and Texas A&M being the other primary schools he was considering.
I chatted briefly with Taquon last night and it sounds like the hold up on his decision is in part due to the fact that he wants to visit Oklahoma. Graham said he will “definitely” visit Norman “some time this summer”.
So you can add Graham to the long list of elite defensive linemen that are expected to visit OU this summer.
I spoke to someone close to Graham and it still sounds like he is expected to end up at Texas but obviously a visit can change things. Graham’s mother, not surprisingly, will be a major factor in his decision and I’m told she will accompany him on his trip to Norman. – (Super K)
– Myles Sims: 2018 DB, Myles Sims out of Atlanta, Georgia is reporting an OU offer. Yet another indication that the Sooners are very serious about making in-roads into the Georgia market.

Boomer. First
SOONER!!!
Sooner!
SOONER!
Boomer sooner baby hit me wit the new recruiting news r we expected to get thomas looks like it good day yal
Come on up to Norman, Mr. Graham! Join something special! #OUDNA
A delayed announcement with a pending visit with momma can’t be all bad.
Also, camping with all the other studs could be a really good thing too.
You’re saying there’s a chance?
Yes, I don’t Metz around.
Ha!
I’ll also bet the young man’s mom will not be so interested in that Baylor offer.
Good luck Sooner tennis!! I’ll be watching on the east coast if ESPN carries it. Go Sooner softball also!! Recruits come down to Norman, #OUDNA
Well howdy,its 2:48 and texsa SUCKS————–
Auto upvote!
Well, sure! And now at 3:16 texsa still sucks AND Baylor is scum!
So when i left the daily for mettings,seems yall were looking for a new name for bailer.Did yall arrive at a new official name?
Hard to find something fitting that is not too ugly to print.
Although if BU keeps Briles, they can use Bill Cosby as their spokesperson since Temple disavowed everything about him.
So bailer Cosby?
I’m more along the lines of The Bailer Briles’ – the school where our winning coach is more important than our integrity.
Love it. Maybe Cosby can receive an honorary degree from Baylor since Drexel and Pitt, among others, revoked the degrees they awarded.
Sure. But I am now thinking that they’ll replace the little bear with their very own “Cosby.” He can sit on the sidelines as a representative of the Baylor spirit.
They just need to keep the collar and leash on him to keep him away from the coeds. But then…I’m quite sure something could be worked out w/ the Baylor admin to keep it quiet if something were to transpire.
I’m still waiting for the shoe to drop on the other BU scandal. I wonder when they are going to get caught for their cheating in multiple sports, especially football.
There is NO WAY a bad football program and a basketball program that was buried after the Dave Bliss scandal suddenly pops up on the radar unless there is impropriety. I don’t buy that it is legit. If they are willing to cover up sexual assault scandals–from the coach to the Title IX director to the college President who was the special investigator assigned to Bill Clinton’s sexual proclivities while holding office–then I have to believe they are funneling improper benefits (i.e , money to players) as well. This is just like Ole Miss’ sudden recruiting prowess…we now know as we always suspected, that prowess was cash.
For all the talk of “parity” in college football, the traditional powers are still the powers that find themselves atop the rankings and winning NCs. OU had its down period in the 90s, so did Bama and LSU. Notre Dame dropped off in the early 2000s. They rose again. Now, Nebraska, Miami, and–to a lesser extent–USC are down. All of them will be back. BU is not a traditional power. They have no history to rebuild on.
There is something fishy going on across multiple sports at Baylor. I’m going to laugh when it comes to a head.
except the large amounts of money he donated
Taquon Graham would be a HUGE get… Really want him and Wilson or Rogers.
A team can never have too many quality d-linemen.
OOO so true Dave
too*
I changed it just from too, just for you
quantity and quality. I like it.
Haven’t had a McCoy or Harris caliber guy in quite some time.
I thik Overton will be that caliber guy.
OU did recently, and paid for it by having a bunch of crappy wide receivers…
They were stocked with highly recruited guys. Only one of them became what was expected @ wr
As long as after about the twelfth one they are willing to walk on and not take up a scholarship, that is true. Otherwise, you are going to be weak somewhere else.
An 11-0-0 would be killer 😉
Didn’t Mike try that? Don’t think it worked. Oh wait that was the 4-0-7. Maybe if he’d put more DL out there it would have worked.
It’s worth a look right?
The 3-8 would have surely stopped travon.
I think the only thing that could stop him would have been TOW missile
Needed the 5-7-11 defense to stop him the way we tackled, but even in WV they know 5+7+11 is more than 11 (how many more is a stumper though).
K I would love your opinion on Sims. I know that the tape is only his sophomore year but man it didn’t rally stand out to me at all. He is definitely not afraid of contact, and seems to tackle well, but hips didn’t seem really smooth?
Thanks K for the info! I really like getting into the GA market. Very high ratio of top players to population in that state.
OU is recruiting a lot of top LB’s & Dline guys from Georgia this year.
Taking advantage of the regime change at Ga.
Reicht was there almost as long as Stoops.
If GA stumbles with Kirby smart we can be there as another option..
Have barry meet with graham’s momma. Surefire way to get him onboard lol.
OU’s Dline class will be nasty this year. #JustWaitOnIt
ESPin — or some overpaid writer there — has pegged Ol’ Miss vs. FSU as the top game in week 1. Really? I love OU, but even I know that Bama vs USC is bigger, and our game with Houston comes in a close 2nd. I can’t go there anymore. Everything is slanted towards the SEC.
I think FSU will handle them easily. Ole piss replaces too much on that Oline. FSU has plenty of size to give them fits.
Agree.
I want those Booms coming left and right, but it’s going to be slow until that first month of the year is finished. Start 4-0 and I think we will have a great chance at the big fish.
Agree. But if saxeT is our 5th game, then I’d say going 5-0 would bring in a bunch of BOOMS.
How about 14-0?
WINNER!!!!
Well, shut my mouth! 14-0 it is.
Hey, I’ll drink to that!
we can just win it all, then everything will be great ?
5-0 would look pretty good. Getting through the first 5 will be damn tough.
Well there are 38 weeks left until signing day and at most 13 scollies left, so right and left is about one every three weeks.

Tomorrow, Metz!
Nicely done, as usual. Metz to Tues meeting .. OP goes up. I love the synchronicity.
Even to the educated mind, it’s starting to look causal rather than coincidental. IS there a TFB conspiracy on “the Metz?”
Have a good night & keep your head on a swivel (storms).
Have a great evening.
Just got in from Taco Tuesday but I always scroll for your farewell, we’ll hook up again tomorrow metz.
If my wife and I drink water, Taco Tuesday is reasonable fare. Save the tortillas for desert with honey
Love the sopapillas.

Nothing against the Boz, but he’s no Alexandra Daddario. Decent pic though Metz.
I attended Temple High School and it is very hard not to go to either Texas or Baylor. Baylor is only about 30 miles away and Austin about 60. Plus they are the area schools most root for. I was a transplant from Oklahoma so I was not swayed by the masses, but two of my five brothers were…we don’t talk about them much….lol
Had heard Graham was leaning heavily toward the whorns so never really counted on him. Still not, but good all the same. Will be happy if OU gets a commit from Isaiah on the 28th.
Is it just me or is Levi just missing the haircut?

Looks like we have every right to continue to pursue other cornerbacks.
So Tre was upset we were still recruiting CBs and, once we soothed him, now he’s taking visits? Bad juju, man.
Yeah go visit Bama, Tre. You won’t have to worry about competition there for sure.
This may not be a bad thing in the long run.
From everything I hear it may not be a terrible thing. Maybe he is content with a similar level of PT competition but thinks it’s a better shot at a ring? Maybe he just wants to take a trip? Who knows.
It is not about competition for Tre I think it is being appreciated. He feels like by recruiting more corners they don’t really want him. Then again he has posted a lot on Twitter about being dry hated by people so maybe he just wants to go see places.
Amen. Tre is gone

The NCAA really needs more/better officiating at the tennis finals.
Throw an update if you have one. Just got home.
I stopped watching. Sorry.
I pulled up the stream and stats and got a bad feeling. VA is still good it seems.
UVA repeats as national champ (4-1). Tough break to have its hometown crowd negated with the move to indoors tonight.
Does Draymond Green ever shut up? I hope the Thunder win by 30+ tonight so we don’t have to hear Green’s incessant droning on…I usually pee before I poop, sunlight hurts my eyes, women or sheep are good most days, I hurt my hamstring when I kick players in the privates, I like mint chip chocolate ice cream, my favorite color is pink, blah, blah, blah.
Nelson Mbanasor commits to Okie lite?
247 isnt reporting it. the pokes only offered him may 19th, that would be a quick commit.
https://twitter.com/SuperK_TFB/status/735292596071718912
He committed on a tweet but it’s deleted… Maybe hacked?
Still shows on his Twitter.
Nevermind found it
The things okielite does to reindeer doesn’t compare to Baylor’s treatment of women but still……:-)
OU needs to offer him. He looks the part.
i stand corrected. 247 is usually pretty quick, but k is obviously quicker =)
Thats a fast commitment for a pretty decent prospect.
Yea that is fast maybe he visited there and really liked it was just waiting on the ofder
OU didn’t offer.
