Probably safe to say this #SoonerSquad17 has just a little bit of momentum on the recruiting trail. And it gained even more on Monday afternoon when 2017 OL Creed Humphrey unexpectedly flipped his commitment from Texas A&M to the University of Oklahoma.
It wouldn’t be fair to say the OK Preps standout surprised people a little over a month ago when he committed to the Aggies as they had long been one of his top schools. But the fact the Sooners would miss out on one of the state’s top prospects is just something that doesn’t happen very often.
Welp, problem solved. Creed told TFB that he’s been thinking about flipping his commit for a little while now and it simply came down to his feeling OU was ultimately a better fit.
It’s a big-time recruiting win for Bill Bedenbaugh, who has been looking to add another OL (or two) to this 2017 class and now does so with one of the state’s top prospects.

First
and oh snap!
Aggies gonna cry
Welcome aboard Creed!
Boomer!!!
Take that Aggies lol. They just lost a 4 star LB to Texas as well lol
Who would want to go A&M right now?? I just don’t get it
Only Texas college that is stable and good is TCU.
Agreed. Although it’s spelled “Texsa”
you mean, texsa?
BOOM!!!!!!

Glad I’m not an A&M grad or fan! Boomer Sooner baby! Great way to start the week.
It could be worse, you could be bailer fan/grad !
Heck yeah! BOOM!!! Big time flip!
I love seeing a&m loose. Texas fan here but I much rather see y’all do good than the Aggies
Sounds like that LB that decommited from the Gaggies today is headed to the Longhorns. It must suck to be a Gaggie.
If my memory of history serves me right, it has always sucked to be a Gaggie.
77-0!!
One of my favorite things to casually remind Gaggies about game when they start getting too big for their britches and start rubbing that Cotton Bowl win in my face. Shuts them right up!!!
I like seeing them lose, but things are probably a little loose down there also. 🙂
well, it also helps us keep Xavier Newman in the fold 😉 Every cloud has a silver lining
Wow – A BOOM / Switcheroo!
Big BOOM for the BIG man. Welcome home
The USS Creed has arrived at home port after a brief stopover. Welcome home big guy!!
Throwback Monday! Mike Vaughan!
We definitely had the need, the need for Creed. BOOM
Coach Bedenboom is starting to get ‘his guys’. Watch the F OUt!!
Welcome Mr. Creed! Since you’ve grown up hearing of the C&C Sooners, you should feel at home in Norman. And now with your SS17 teammates you guys can make this the best class ever!
I have to say this caught me off guard. It seemed to me we had moved on.
Welcome back home Creed, where you’ve always belonged.
It’s good to be the King!!!!
Boom! This is the second day in a row that I was off the Interwebs when I normally wouldn’t be and came back to a Boom. Guess I need to stay off more. 🙁
And a transfer in the OP update….Busy day late!
Yeah, at least it was an anniversary dinner with my wife at Red Lobster. That almost makes it worth being absent.
Today is our anniversary as well. 18 years. Hope you had a good time.
We did. Our actual anniversary is not until Thursday, but the meat we had planned for dinner turned out to be a little sketchy so we decided to celebrate tonight. I definitely married up, She’s put up with me for 38 years. That alone makes her pretty special.
Congratulations. How is your wife doing?
She’s doing better. They decided that she wasn’t having seizures so they took her off the seizure meds and some of her problems seem related to that.
That’s great news Bob. Hope she continues to improve.
Very glad to hear that she is doing better and I hope for her continued improvement.
Congrats Bob! You can always catch back up at TFB. I hope you two had a fine time. Some time with your wife and a nice dinner – always good.
I like Beefy Booms.
Exactly what my girlfriend says
Nice ?
didnt see this coming, but its great news!
I set my computer down to take the dog out and look what happens! BOOM, it’s like Christmas and my birthday.
Merry Birthday to you then. 🙂
I always knew that Jesus was a Sooner fan!
It’s because of Toats.
So of the sixteen player in SS17, thirteen are rated 4* by at least one site. Of the remaining three one is a punter and one is a JUCO “Athlete” both of whom are listed as the #1 player at their position by 247.
Not a bad looking tool box.
Always looking to add more good tools.
I can dig it
We got 17 now =)
Sorry when I looked on 247 it was sixteen, but you are correct there are seventeen. The rest of the numbers haven’t changed.
No reason to be sorry. Heck, it might be 18 any second now. #justwaitonit
T Rob will love this flip!
Wasn’t he hinting about something in the other post, people thought he was talking about Murray, but maybe he was talking about Creed.
He has been talking about a couple recruits.. this was one
T rob already posted in the OP.
When I pulled up The Football Brainiacs on my phone, I honestly thought the site had glitched when I saw Creed Humphrey’s name on the article

https://twitter.com/r0bertbarnes/status/762780812798414848
Had to do a double take just to make sure I wasn’t see things, this is great news!!!
As soon as I saw Creed Humphrey flipped had to rush and share the celebration with hundreds of my friends… BOOMER!!!
SOONER!!!
SS 17 has taken on a life of its own and just keeps gaining momentum. I haven’t been this amped about recruiting in a long time!!
After getting Rising yesterday and today big Creed flips and comes home, finally ordered my TFB BOOM T to represent and get some extra change into the pockets of these guys that keep us so well informed.
Yep. HUGE weekend! BOOM Town USA!
I wonder if something happened? I feel like he has been feeling this way for awhile and once A&M’s Dual Threat QB left that was the cherry on top of wanting to leave
I suspect the coaches’ inappropriate presentation at the women’s event added to the earlier tweet kerfuffle made him realize that he was probably more mature than any of the coaching staff.
yep, flippin’ idiots at aggie ville. Can’t get out of there own stupidity. You cant fix stupid.

The gaggies are so salty.
Boom Again!—-
BOOM! Congratulations Creed, I knew you had that #OUDNA!
Welcome home Creed
Boom!!
BIG BOOOOM! CREEEEEEEEEEED!!! Good decision.
We should offer Creeds buddy Adrian Wolford from Oklahoma that’s committed to Texas A&M. Bet he flips on the spot. Plus you can never have enough big men and deal a blow to Texas A&M recruiting at the same time
Seems like a lot of shorthorns are starting to invade this sight!
That’s ’cause their site sucks, but whaddaya expect. It is the whorns, after all.
5/5 on top players in Oklahoma committed. Big time job well done by Stoops and Co.
Love to see this year in and year out. OU’s best teams have historically had large numbers of OK kids on them.
“… and Co.” largely made up of SS17, hats off to those kids, gonna be great team mates
what the best estimate on number of slots available in SS17?
Saw somewhere we could take 25 or 26
Creed BOOM!
So I guess when someone commits to one school and then switches to OU, it’s a BOOMerang!
Welcome home, Creed!
Just keeps getting better. Thanks TFB. (I don’t know why anyone would take Rivals’ rankings seriously. They truly miss the mark on most prospects.)
Love it! I’ve wanted this guy from the beginning, seeing as how his first name is also the name of the town I live in in Colorado, though spelled different (Creede)! Boomer freakin sooner
Sorry if asked below but are we focused on a Tackle if we add anymore OLineman
DAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNGGGG!!!!
I go away and come back and BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
WOW!!!!
I found this from Justin Broiles:
https://twitter.com/JustinbroilesJ/status/762816068813402112
That is epic!
I know, right. Broiles and the rest of SS17 is locked in. Mr. Okudah, come on down.
Awesome news! Great BOOM.
Getting closer, can hardly wait…
Thanks, TFB Mods:

I watched 10 seconds of his film. Goddamn
15 yards! Excessive Blocking!
If you are going to play o-line for Coach B you better be at least 50% Nasty and Creed fits the bill!
So apparently his position in HS is “in front of whoever we want on the ground ten yards down field.”
Guy on 247 claimed earlier this afternoon he knew a friend of the family who said it was coming. Looks like the guy nailed it. What a turn-around!
However they get here–as long as they get here.
There was once a day cared little of what happened at A&M, defitinely not on the same level as the shorthorns, but since they joined the SEC & the media started acting like the were good,/ it gives me joy to see them suffer
Made my day!! Boom! ! ! ! Thanks Creed!
Real quick history lesson for the #2 college football team of all time…
It must suck that TCU,Baylor,Houston and Tech have all become the football powers in the State of Texsa
Yep, can’t wait till Texsa ceases to have any sports programs.

Oklahoma scares me
Fixed that for you.
This whole #SoonerSquad17 thing just feels right. It feels like this is how it should be every year and me thinks it may be just that from now on. Just a different vibe with these cats and you know that heat is being felt throughout the incestuous recruiting world. Starting vacation at the lake house tomorrow and can’t think of a better way to start! #BOOM
