– Creed Humphrey: This past weekend 2017 OL, Creed Humphrey (Shawnee, OK) made his way to Norman for a visit. The visit was important as Humphrey is planning on announcing his commitment soon, “no date (set) yet but most likely mid to late June”.

Humphrey has made multiple visits to Oklahoma. There isn’t really anything he hasn’t seen. At this point, it is just about him continuing to develop a stronger and stronger relationship with the staff, “It (the visit) was great. I got to spend a lot of time with Coach Bedenbaugh and Bob Stoops.”

Humphrey added that he still intends on visiting Texas A&M this upcoming weekend. After that, he plans on working through things with his family and coming to a decision. We expect an announcement to come anytime after this upcoming TAMU visit.

Something of note is that Creed is good friends with 2017 Meeker, Oklahoma offensive lineman, Adrian Wolford. Wolford was committed to Oklahoma State but recently flipped to Texas A&M. – (Brandon)

– My Take | Creed Humphrey: Creed holds an offer from schools like Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and others. But from everything I’ve heard this one is going to come down to Texas A&M and Oklahoma.

As Brandon mentioned, TAMU has the advantage of a having a commitment from one of Creed’s close friends in Adrian Wolford. OU however is his in-state school and I’m told the family is an OU family. In fact, Humphrey’s older brother is a student at OU.

For the past few weeks there has been a lot of buzz down here in Texas about Humphrey favoring Texas A&M. Humphrey is pretty guarded so it’s tough to read him but I admit that prior to this OU visit TAMU seemed to be leading. I’m told Humphrey has a really good relationship with TAMU’s offensive line coach, Jim Turner. Brandon said that at the camp, Humphrey was with coach Bedenbaugh the entire time which isn’t surprising but is also important because that relationship seems critical to Humphrey.

For OU fans it’s probably not the best thing that TAMU will likely get the last visit before Humphrey announces. However, Oklahoma certainly holds enough inherent advantages.

I like where OU stands but TAMU is a real threat and I suspect we should hear more after this upcoming visit. – (Super K)

– Parrish Cobb: I continue to check in with sources regarding 2016 Baylor signee, Parrish Cobb. By now you all know that Cobb has requested a release from his NLI. I’ve received some conflicting information but I’ll lay it out for you. Enjoy…

Source 1 and 2 (Texas side) – I spoke to two sources on the Texas side and they confident. One source said Texas has about a “70% chance” of landing Cobb.

Source 3 and 4 (Oklahoma side) – I also spoke with two Oklahoma sources. They are even more confident than the Texas side. Both sources I spoke to on the Oklahoma side fully expect Cobb to end up at Oklahoma.

Source 5 (Waco/Family Friend): A source close to the family told me that the family likes Oklahoma and Georgia. The reason being is they would like Parrish to get further away from Waco than Austin or even Ft Worth (though the source mentioned there is interest in TCU and I’m told by a TCU source that they have a spot for Cobb).

Source 6 (Waco/Family Friend): Another source close to the family is adamant that while Oklahoma may be somewhat in it, the two main schools the Cobbs are interested in are Texas and Georgia.

All these sources are solid in their proximity to either the family or the programs so I have no reason to doubt them. However, my sense is the conflicting information is coming from 1) the possibility that the Cobbs may be indicating strong interest to multiple parties to ensure a spot remains open and 2) that like Cobb’s recruitment itself, there is a possibility that there is some difference between what Parrish may want and what his family may want.

Obviously I am conjecturing on both points mentioned above so neither should be taken as fact. It is my attempt to reconcile what I believe to be information coming from solid sources on all sides.

I am also told that they expect a release to come sometime within the next 30 days. – (Super K)

– Camp Visitors: Oklahoma is holding a second camp today and the Sooners will have plenty of their own commitments on hand. Jalen Reagor, Charleston Rambo, Tre Brown, Levi Draper, Justin Broiles, and Chris Robison are all expected to be in attendance. Additionally the Sooners will host 2017 LB, Anthony Hines.

Again, we really like where OU sits with Anthony Hines. – (Brandon & Super K)
