– Jeremiah Hall: Yesterday the Sooners picked up a commitment from Charlotte, NC (Vance HS) star H-Back Jeremiah Hall, who committed to Oklahoma despite having not yet visited  campus. TFB caught up with Hall following the commitment, and it sounds like Jay Boulware was a big reason behind Hall picking the Sooners.

“One thing I loved is the fact he (Boulware) kept my parents involved in the process. Coach Boulware would always make a point to speak with my mom and dad.”

On the field, Hall says OU’s offense fits him “perfectly.” Hall noted, “They are going to use me in the Trey Millard and Dimitri Flowers position. If you have seen my film you know that is the same position and offense we run at my school. I can’t wait.”

Off the field Hall, likes what the Sooners provide academically. “They are really well respected in the medical field, and I want to major in a health science type of major.”

Hall added that he will make his first visit to Norman on July 29th. With the addition of Hall, the Sooners continue to their steady momentum for the class of 2017. Hall chose OU over NC State, Pittsburgh, Maryland, East Carolina, Syracuse and others. – (Brandon)

– K’Lavon Chaisson: As you all know, last weekend (June 4-5) the Sooners hosted star 2017 defensive end, K’Lavon Chaisson (Houston, TX). Up until that visit Chaisson really hadn’t spoken much about the Sooners (he doesn’t speak to media much in general) but we had been told by a source close to Chaisson that the Sooners were quietly building a relationship with him. Those attempts came to fruition when he visited and I’ve spoken to multiple sources and the visit was an absolute success.

I will admit, I didn’t see the Sooners being a real player for Chaisson. But I am convinced now. I spoke with a coach at Chaisson’s high school who took the trip to Norman with Chaisson. I also spoke with one of his trainers. I spoke with an additional source close to Chaisson. And we spoke with sources close to the OU program. We heard nothing but rave reviews.

According to multiple sources Chaisson is primarily interested in playing in a 3-man front as he’d like to play the outside linebacker position. In fact, I’m told he’s so serious about it that Texas A&M, despite being closest to home and his grandparents’ favorite school, is running fourth on his list because they play in a 4-man front. I’m told the schools ahead of TAMU are LSU, Houston and Oklahoma (in no order).

Chaisson does have ties to Baylor. His late father played at Baylor. However, I’m told there is very limited interest in Baylor. LSU would appear to be the stiffest competition for the Sooners. LSU was in fact Chaisson’s first offer.

While this may have been Chaisson’s first visit to OU, I am told it will not be his last. It seems he has given the impression to the people around him that he is eager to return to Norman for a second visit. – (Super K)
