The Football Brainiacs

– Jordan Thomas: There has been quite a bit of speculation about what has led sophomore CB Jordan Thomas’ suspension in part or in entirety of two games already this 2015 season. In the past we’ve made a point no to report on things of this nature, but due to some of the ridiculous things being said about Thomas we felt compelled to say something in this particular instance.

After speaking with a couple sources about the situation, Thomas’ most recent transgression was missing a team activity late in the week. There is no academic or drug issue, or anything of the sort. – (Super K)

– Devwah Whaley: As most of you know the 2016 RB is expected to take an official visit to Oklahoma for the TCU game. This past summer he told us that he plans to announce his commitment at the Under Armour All-American game in January. However Whaley also told us that prior to his announcement he plans to give a ‘silent commit’ to the coaching staff of the school he would be choosing.

TFB’s Andrew King spoke with a source who said that the UGA visit went well…really well. We haven’t been able to confirm through two sources whether a silent commitment has happened but we get the unambiguous impression that even if a commitment hasn’t happened, Georgia jumped to the number one spot for Whaley.

At this point we are under the impression Whaley will still take his official visit to OU, though as is always the case with recruiting, things canchange. We also get the impression that if there is a school that can change things for Whaley, it is Oklahoma. But as of right now Georgia seems to be the clear leader. – (Andrew)

– Tyrie Cleveland and Ed Oliver: As we noted over the weekend in the Open Post, 2016 WR Tyrie Cleveland (Houston, TX) and his teammate 2016 DT Ed Oliver were expected in Norman for official visits this weekend. The two did indeed make it, however we have not had a chance to catch up with them just yet to see how things went. I suspect getting too much information out of either will be difficult, but over the next day or so I’ll be checking with some sources close to both to see if OU was able to push things at all in their direction.

If nothing else, it was clear OU certainly put their best foot forward in recruiting the pair. If you need proof, below is a tweet Cleveland put out over the weekend with a video of the Sooners throwing him a birthday party at Bob Stoops’ house following the Tulsa game.
