Open Post | Weekend, Jun. 17th – 19th

Ondario Robinson: TFB caught up with 2017 DE Ondario Robinson (Hutto, TX), who received an offer from Oklahoma back in the spring when Calvin Thibodeaux stopped by for a visit, earlier in the week. Robinson released a Top 7 back in mid-May that included: OU, Arizona State, Georgia, Houston, Indiana, Missouri & New Mexico.

Since then, however, Robinson has received offers from the likes of Texas and Texas A&M. In fact, he recently made trips to both schools. As to our conversation, Robinson said, referring to his original Top 7, “those were just my top schools with those offers, but as I said they could change with new offers.”

One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is his interest in Oklahoma. Robinson told TFB he he plans on making the trip to Norman at some point, but it sounds like he won’t be able to make it on the date he had originally planned, “I’m not going to be able to make it up there (to Norman) for the event on the 29th because I have a family reunion. But I talked to my mom about going up there and she told me to map it out and see what we should do.”

The event Robinson is referring to is apparently some kind of new recruiting event the OU staff will hold at the end of July. I’ve been told they are still working through some different ideas, but it’s just another sign the staff is dead set on landing top notch recruits.

I do expect Robinson to make it to Norman sometime before the fall as he let TFB know he plans on announcing his decision at half time of the first game of his upcoming season. – (Super K)

Kenneth Murray: The Sooners are also in the top group of schools for 2017 LB Kenneth Murray (Missouri City, TX). Murray also recently visited Texas and Texas A&M, as well as Ole Miss, but tells TFB that he will visit OU “sometime later this summer.”

Murray revealed on Thursday that he will announce his commitment decision on August 10th. Murray has also indicated that he would like to visit Michigan prior to said decision date.

While Murray has released a Top 10, I get the sense he has narrowed his list of schools to the likes of Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan & Ole Miss.

It is of note, however, that Murray expects to be an early enrollee. So were he to commit to Oklahoma, he’d be someone who could come in and compete for the spot that Jordan Evans will vacate after this season. – (Super K)

Creed Humphrey and O-Line Numbers: Creed Humphrey followed up a couple of trips to OU last week with a trip to Texas A&M this past weekend. TAMU is going to be the stiffest competition for the Sooners here, and we really don’t have a good sense of which way he’s leaning at the moment

Humphrey hasn’t said much to anyone, but did let TFB know that even after his TAMU trip his commitment timeline is still intact. “As of right now, I plan on doing it (committing) later this month.”

In speaking to folks on the TAMU side of things, they seem very confident. But with Humphrey being an in-state kid, having a brother that goes to OU, growing up in an OU household, and the track record Oklahoma and Bill Bedenbaugh have in churning out excellent offensive linemen, the Sooners certainly have some advantages.

If the Sooners were to land Humphrey, that would likely leave only one additional spot for an offensive lineman. I’m told Oklahoma would like to take 2-3 OL this year. – (Super K)

Addison Gumbs: Earlier in the week we noted that 2017 LB Addison Gumbs had changed his announcement timeline slightly. Instead of announcing later this month, he has pushed it back to early July with the possibility that he may announce his decision at The Opening.

However, we checked with a couple sources and still get the impression  the Sooners are in a strong position to land Gumbs. At this point, we continue to believe OU leads here. – (Super K)

Parrish Cobb: We’ve mentioned before receiving some conflicting information on where Parrish Cobb is likely to end up if he receives a release from his NLI.

Earlier this week TFB spoke with a new source that is close to the family, who echoed the sentiment of other folks we’ve spoken to. In that while the family is considering Oklahoma, Texas appears to be his likely landing spot. – (Super K)

Team Note | Michiah Quick: Earlier in the week we mentioned that Michiah Quick was looking good early on in team led 7-on-7 sessions. And we’ve since been told Quick continued to impress on Wednesday.

Evidently he ended the week with 3 INTs and was running with the second team (first team is, as expected, Jordan Thomas & Dakota Austin) along side PJ Mbanasor.

That isn’t to say Quick has it all figured it out, of course. We’ve been told he, like any corner, has been beat beat at times and still has a lot to learn. But it does sound like the play-making instincts are certainly there.

Even if Quick isn’t able to beat out Austin (or Mbanasor) this fall, it’s starting to sound like he will at the very least provide quality depth. And be a guy the Sooners can rely on when much of the secondary leaves following this season. – (Super K)

Team Note | Freshmen Getting Cleared: Just wanted to note that while some of the freshmen have started participating in workouts and 7-on-7 (we mentioned Abdul Adams and Mykel Jones are already impressing some folks in the Wednesday OP), there are still a number of incoming freshman that have yet to be fully cleared.

TFB checked with a source yesterday to see how Caleb Kelly and Parnell Motley were fairing and was told that neither (as of Wednesday) had been cleared. However, I suspect most everyone should be cleared by the end of this week. – (Super K)

    FIRST BOOMER!!

    • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

      Sooner! I met at least 15 ppl last night who are in Vegas from Canada for EDC.

      • Canada_KB says:

        Now that you mention it I think a couple of buddies are down there for that….I was never really into that scene though haha.

        • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

          I’m not a fan of EDC or any of that stuff but the clubs are pretty cool.

    • Cav66 says:

      SOONER!!!! Nice to see the early OP!

  • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

    I hosted a big event last night at one of the night clubs to try and land some big fish clients. I’ve had zero hours of sleep and how do I get repaid? An open post this early in the morning! LOVE it. Also pretty sure I’m going to land the potential clients! Hope everyone has a great Friday!

    • Canada_KB says:

      Your job sounds interesting!

      • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

        I’m a financial advisor. It’s about as interesting as it sounds lol. I’m just trying to reach into a particular niche market and that entails throwing ( and writing off) decent events around town. We usually host golf tournaments, nice dinners at steak houses, but like I said, with my particular niche market, they tend to be at different clubs.

        • paganpink says:

          I bought OKE at 20 bucks a share around February! It’s at 45 now! I am the man, LOL Course I only invested 20k in my retirement account but it’s 25 more then I had and still pays a great div!

          • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

            Well look at you. Stocks are fun when things are rolling but scary when they’re rolling the wrong direction. I’m big on pharmaceutical companies. They’ve made me good money 🙂
            Hope your weekend is great!

          • paganpink says:

            I didn’t mention that I bought CHK and SD a couple of years ago, LOL. Only a few thousand in each but they are utter disasters! Heck M

          • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

            Oh I’ve got a weekend planned full I golf with my pops. I was never into raves. Pass me a joint and ill hit it, but anything else is a no go. I really don’t even like to drink alcohol, but again, entertaining/whining and dining people you’re almost forced to acquire a taste for red wine or single malt.

    • Cav66 says:

      Happy Friday and good luck with the fishing!

      • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

        It looks real promising. If I can land the two guys who I’ve been really targeting then I’ll literally increase my income by 300%. I’ll be floored if I get them lol. I know it’s not smart to rely heavily on a few clients, but at this point in my career these signings would be considered a grand slam!

        • Cav66 says:

          A 300 percent income increase? That is one heck of an incentive. Seriously, good luck with the signings. If things work out, are you buying the beer for a while?

          • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

            Yes sir! That’s why I’m giddy like a school girl. Plus, it’s a different type of client that my Dad and uncle didn’t think would be interested in our services, so that’ll be nice to rub it into their face 😉 one is a Pepsi executive and the other is an executive for Hakkasan Group. They are good friends and I met them in line at a gun show while I was buying my AR-15! Crazy to think I met them there, but yeah, I’m excited hahaha.

      • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

        Hope you have a great day as well!

  • Dallas_Sooner7 says:

    Thanks for the OP!

  • Stikboy says:

    With the coaches unable to oversee these voluntary workouts/ 7on7s… Who determines 1st and 2nd team? Did Quick just tell the other guys, hey, I’m 2nd team now, hit the bricks!

    • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

      I mean, do we really have anyone else? Lol. I really, really hope Mbonasor takes ahold of that second corner spot.

    • Bob Edwards says:

      Just because the workouts are voluntary doesn’t mean that the “volunteers” can’t go ask a coach what they should work on. I’m sure somewhere along the way the team leaders have talked to the coaches about ideas for how to run the practices. If they can’t talk to the coach now, they did sometime when they were allowed.

      • Dick Bump says:

        Didn’t the NCAA change the limitations for coaches during the summer where they can have more interaction with the players? I don’t recall the specifics.

        • Bob Edwards says:

          A student-athlete may participate in a maximum of eight (8) hours per week of countable athletically related activities and may not participate in any countable athletically related activities on two days per week during the out-of-season period.
          Participation in up to two (2) hours of individual skill instruction is permissible. In football, skill-instruction activities are limited to review of game film

      • SoonerinLondon says:

        I do that. The players fax me a list, off an creaky old fax machine at Headington Hall every morning. I draw circles and arrows, then number the players and fax it back.

        About half the time the fax machine doesn’t pick up and I have to call Riley or Mike Stoops to unplug it and plug it back in. Really annoying.

  • Scott says:

    That recruiting event at the end of July sounds interesting.

    • Stikboy says:

      I wonder if Harbaugh will be there?

      • CPSooner says:

        Wearing a KD jersey?

      • Scott says:

        He can come if he keeps his shirt on.

        • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

          Imagine how much more ridiculous he’ll be if he even wins a New Years 6 bowl game lol. Dude hasn’t won a damn thing and thinks he’s a Kingpen.

        • Stikboy says:

          Aaagh yeah. I saw that once, disgusting. Dude’s wife needs to buy him a weight bench and some heavy barbells.. Until then, leave the shirt on stud.

    • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

      I mean, almost every other school has a big recruiting day/night so it’s about time we get it together lol

  • DR LEO MARVIN says:

    Who’s down with the OP

  • Matt says:

    Brainiacs, this stuff is amazing, thank you for your hard work in getting the info and then getting it to us in an understandable form! One question, what keeps these freshmen from getting cleared? Is it some kind of fitness test?

  • Mark_in_VA says:

    I just do not get the appeal of eATMe. At all. I mean, a lot of these schools that bring in top recruits, sure; I get it. But not aggs. Not. At. All.

    • Matt says:

      don’t shoot the messenger but they have top 5 facilities along with the chance to play in the SEC while staying in Texas. Wins don’t always speak as loudly to recruits as we as fans would think. Plus these big time recruiting coaches are some of the best salesmen in the country regardless of industry. I can totally imagine them selling a wide eyed recruit on the idea that with their help they’ll be contending for national titles in no time.

      • Mark_in_VA says:

        As I was thinking of Creed, perhaps I should say more from a national-recruit perspective. If you grew up in southeastern Texas following them, OK I can accept that.

        • Matt says:

          gotcha, yeah I would say its probably the facilities then

          • jimintexas says:

            There best coach may be the OL coach.

            They sell something like 31k student tickets per game. No other school comes close to that. Un-like most other schools, including OU, they highly involve those students in coordinated “yells”. It makes for a loud stadium and a very involved student section. (btw the students are usually there the complete game). It is a different atmosphere. They have almost unlimited money sources for facilities and whatever else they think they may need. The benefit is that when those students graduate a larger percentage of them are accustomed to being involved than other schools.

            This is over and above their traditions of midnight yells, before they games. It isn’t for everyone. But, their 45K students are very engaged with the athletics, especially the football team.

            They don’t have traditions like OU, Bama, USC, ND, or even schools like LSU. But, they sell what they have pretty well.

          • Defend Colfax says:

            Too bad they suck.

          • Matt says:

            yeah, I know all too well about the student section. I actually graduated from A&M but remained a loyal Sooner fan the whole time I was there. Got to see Sammy B run in a touchdown right in front of me in 08. Unfortunately, I also was there for the 2010 night game.

          • jimintexas says:

            I was there for both games. Had a son that went to A&M on scholarship. He knew that he could not go to a school with orange in there scheme, regardless of scholarship. A lot of his N. Texas math and engineering classmates went and were a big sway for him. Funny thing to me, is we met with Baylor and he could not get away from the meeting fast enough. He quickly concluded that Baylor and him were not a match. So, even though he did not go to OU, I don’t feel I completely failed

          • Dick Bump says:

            OU’s facilities should be comparable to anyone’s after the upgrade. I think it’s the thrill of the bonfire.

          • Matt says:

            they don’t do the bonfire since the collapse. They have a much smaller bonfire but its off campus and not near as big as it used to be.

          • Dick Bump says:

            You mean the thrill is gone?

          • Matt says:

            yes, very much so, majority of students don’t even know where bonfire happens now much less go to it

          • Matt says:

            yes, very much so, majority of students don’t even know where bonfire happens now much less go to it

          • paganpink says:

            You’re missing the chance to post a GIF of BB King, LOL!

          • Dick Bump says:

            Yep. That’s what I had in mind. Unfortunately, I’m gifless

          • metzker says:

            Makes me want to leave early and have a beer!

          • paganpink says:

            Well it IS AN ENGINEERING SCHOOL! Hard to imagine building complex structures if you can’t even build a bonfire without KILLING 12 people and injuring dozens of others!

          • Dick Bump says:

            Yep. It was a tragedy. I have several friends with links to A&M, either alums or kids going there or whatever. It touch a lot of folks.

      • Scott says:

        After OU is finished with their facilities, I would expect OU to have the best facilities in the country. Hopefully after this season it will be finished.

      • T. Rob says:

        The physical location is within 4 hours of DFW and the Houston Metroplex, which are major hotbeds for D1 recruits. Distance plays a big factor a lot of the times to recruits who come from lower income families. There family doesn’t have the resources to travel great distance to see them play.

    • Bob Edwards says:

      I am sure it is the quality and variety of the academic programs available.

      • Mark_in_VA says:

        That and the hot cheerleaders.

        • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

          I always laugh when I read comments like this. There’s literally smoking hot girls at EVERY college campus, except maybe Northwestern Oklahoma state lol.

          • Mark_in_VA says:

            I’m pretty sure aTm is all male cheerleaders. But I could be mistaken. In any case, that was the joke. Not to suggest there aren’t hot women at eATMe.

          • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

            That’s hilarious! My bad then!

          • Mark_in_VA says:

            I admittedly am basing this off of a hilarious video that came out when it looked like P-16 was going to happen. It was Cookie Monster singing “one of these things is not like the other”, and it went through pictures of the hot cheerleaders of every to-be P-16 school, and when it got to “can you guess?” it showed a bunch of dudes in the yell outfits with megaphones. It was completely hysterical and humiliating for eATMe.

            So, again, I assumed that was true, but who knows. I just went with it. 🙂

          • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

            Yeah I’m not sure lol. But that’s too funny. Good laughs early this morning 🙂

    • T. Rob says:

      It’s the fact that they’re a local Texas school in the SEC. Kids want to play in the most competitive conference. Then you throw in their new facilities to mix as well. It’s like a 9 or 10 hour drive for family members to come to watch you play in Norman if your from Southern Texas region. So that’s why you’ll see a lot of Texas kids giving AtM a look.

    • j l says:

      They consistently send kids to the NFL high in the draft, most often O-lineman. They had 3 or 4 straight years with an o-lineman in the 1st round.

      • T. Rob says:

        To that token, they have recruited a big time lineman almost every recruiting class for those years as well. Getting top talent of high school always seems to show up 3 to 4 years down the road when your putting 1st and 2nd founders in the league. Look at tOSU this past year. We should see in 4 to 5 years a large number from 2017 class go pro and most likely a couple of 1st and 2nd rounders.

        • Brent says:

          How many more Matthews brother are there? I swear Bruce had about 17 sons and just single files them to A&M.

        • hOUligan says:

          Hey T.Rob. How are things? Loved the vid of Tyrese putting in the work. Did he have a good time in Norman last weekend?

        • j l says:

          Yes they have, and had they not lost little, it would have been another likely 1st rounder 3 years down the road.

          They have recruited and developed well on the o-line down there for a good bit.

  • Matt says:

    just for discussion, my wishlist for remaining Sooners targets: Gumbs, Hines, Phillips, J. Harris, Rogers, Watts, Humphrey, Filiaga, Lamb and then the big fish of Wilson, Okudah and Browning…That would be nice

  • OUWade says:

    didn’t Cobb’s family try to push Oklahoma during his original recruitment, before he switched to Baylor? Maybe after making that mistake, he should learn from it and listen to them by not heading to Austin. 🙂

    • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

      I couldn’t care less honestly. With the way he shafted us before I don’t even want him. The killer B’s will surpass him anyways.

      • SamSooner says:

        I don’t want him either. I want players who want to be here.

      • OUWade says:

        I definitely get this, but I guess I just look at it more like, “kid makes a dumb decision to go somewhere because he was swayed by shiny things. Now, his parents could help him reevaluate what’s best for him.” Either way, if the coaches want him, and he wants to be here, then I would gladly take him. If he goes to Texas, though, it will just give that much more reason to root against him in October.

        • Bob Edwards says:

          Don’t you think these kids should make perfect decisions like all of us did when we were seventeen? /s

      • SoonerinLondon says:

        Isn’t that the old saying? “Shaft me once, shame on you. Shaft me twice, shame on me?”

      • DCinAZ says:

        Me neither. Don’t want to hear about Cobb anymore and don’t care where he ends up, honestly.

    • CrimsonNative says:

      IMHO, I think this is going to be more about who will take his brother. Tejas has told him that they will/have a spot for his brother and we all know OU’s stance on such Tom Foolery.

      • OUWade says:

        is that the case with Cobb? I knew the Duvernay twins were that way, but I didn’t know Cobb has a brother, also.

      • Stephen Dale says:

        Charlie Strong can’t break.500 on the field but he has no trouble influencing athletic prospects………when will they ever learn ?

    • hOUligan says:

      Thinking Cobb might be more about the women and parties and Norman is just too laid back for him. And thats cool. He just doesn’t ‘fit’.

      • soonerguy421 says:

        He would not have picked Waco over Norman in the first place if it was all about women or parties…just saying

        • hOUligan says:

          Kinda thinking Bailer haz women and maybe football players hold a certain ‘special status’. Or maybe he just wants to be closer to home. Whatever … he doesn’t seem to have OUDNA. Not many do.

  • Eric Hutton says:

    Does anyone know how many DL we are needing in this class?

    • Scott says:

      I would assume 5. We have 4 seniors and Charles Walker will leave early for the draft. Also gotta consider other early entry’s and transfers.

    • SoonerinLondon says:

      How many are available to recruit? We need them all.

    • SoonerJake says:

      I keep seeing people suggest we have some desperate need at DL. Unless we’re planning a transition to a 4-3, I’m just not seeing it. We currently have 13 guys on scholarship to play 3 positions: 5 freshmen (Campbell, Lampkin, Mann, Gallimore, Bledsoe), 2 sophs (Garnett, Overton), 3 juniors (Ward, Romar, Walker) and 3 seniors (Wade, Dimon, Roberts). Now, it’s probably a good idea to average 4-deep at each position to give us the flexibility to play 4-3 in certain situations, but even then you’re only talking about a need for 3 DL in this class, and that’s assuming Walker goes early. If you look at the numbers, our biggest need right now is in the interior of the o-line (6 guys to play 3 positions after 2016), unless we are planning to move some tackles inside.

  • Sam Philbeck says:

    Any news about Brandon Bowen? Is he wanting out of his NLI or is he sticking with Baylor?

  • Sam Philbeck says:

    Any news about Brandon Bowen? Is he wanting out of his NLI or is he sticking with Baylor?

    • SamSooner says:

      Maybe I’m being cynical but it’s hard feeling bad for these guys. I mean, how can you not know of any of these incidents. They’ve put themselves in a bad spot.

      • Bob Edwards says:

        Let’s be fair to these guys Sam. First off they were probably 17 when they signed and they had dozens, if not hundreds, of people in their ear telling them all the problems of the other school and why the kid should come to theirs. Some of them may have made the decision having an idea these allegations are true, but some others probably just filed them with all the other negative trash that they were hearing about everyone.
        We certainly need to do due diligence as a team and try to determine what they knew and why they decided the way they did, but let’s be careful painting all of them with too broad a brush.

        • SamSooner says:

          I hear you, Bob. I agree. I shouldn’t lump them all in one group. But I’m, what, six or seven states away, depending on your route, and I knew about the allegations. If for no other reason, the parents should have known to ask questions in order to help with the decision.

          But, I will concede that some of them, a very small number, could not have known about it.

          • Bob Edwards says:

            My point is not that they didn’t know about it, but that they had to determine if they thought it was true. Should we likewise criticize the kids coming to OU given they knew about the racism (SAE) and the coverup of the Mixon tapes (per the media)? Every school has its issues, you can’t maintain a community of 20K-50K mostly young twenty somethings without there being crimes and other indiscretions.

            The question is how does a seventeen year old kid make that decision. While you and I are the perfect parents and know how to guide the young man wisely through the process, given what I see in the media these days, I am less confident that all these young men have the guidance they need to make wise decisions. Maybe this is a chance for some young man to get the guidance he needs. From what I have seen Coach Stoops seems to be a man that could give them some.

          • SamSooner says:

            We are perfect parents, aren’t we?

          • Bob Edwards says:

            Well I’m pretty sure you are. After thinking about it, I can’t label myself that way.

          • paganpink says:

            If you’re not you had plenty of practice, LOL!

          • Bob Edwards says:

            Even though they are all out of the house, I still get practice from time to time. Thankfully I have several that show up when they are not in trouble.

          • SamSooner says:

            You’re a funny man, Bob Edwards.

          • jimintexas says:

            I thought I would be, until I became one, and realized that I can’t be

          • Tex'ish says:

            Just read the parenting book – it’s that easy… /s

          • Bob Edwards says:

            My wife and I once attended a parenting seminar. We were done when someone asked the guy if he had any children and he said no.

          • Jed says:

            Like marital advice from a priest?

      • Maranatha846 says:

        I’m with you Sam. They can all stay in Waco or go elsewhere. They passed on us when they had their chance.

  • metzker says:

    Very nice OP SUPER K!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Michael says:

    Great OP! It was mentioned that Kenneth Murray, as an early enrollee, could come in and compete for the vacant ILB spot when Jordan Evans leaves next year. Do we potentially see Murray as an ILB? If so, with Draper already committed, do we take Jacob Phillips and Anthony Hines at ILB too? I would think Phillips and obviously Hines would be the higher priority, and 1 of those 3 (Draper, Hines, Phillips) more likely to compete for the vacant ILB spot come next year. Any thoughts?

  • j l says:

    Creed by far the biggest need in the above list, IMO, hes a must get.

    • Katyboomer says:

      I would say DL is our biggest overall need. From the list above, yes Creed is a big need.

    • J.r. Kamm says:

      I’m not sure I’d classify Creed as a “must get”. While it would be nice since he’s an in-state kid and the family is all OU, I think we’re doing just fine on the OL with what we have and what is coming in (T-Rob). I would think Filiaga (OT) or Wilson and Rogers (DT) would be more “must get”.

      • hOUligan says:

        Agree, J.R. Would like to add Creed but he would be my odd man out, especially if Logan Roberson is proving to be what the coaches hoped for when they signed him to be ‘the next’ OC.

        • j l says:

          Thought logan was a guard? 330 is a big to play C.

          • hOUligan says:

            Read where he was recruited to play center and is already working there. Part of the move by Coach B to a bigger line.

          • Scott says:

            IMO I wouldn’t be worried if we lost Creed. I like Creed a lot but we do have good depth at the Center position.

          • j l says:

            interesting, always thought he was a G. Well thats cool

      • j l says:

        Well hes a center, and our center is a junior, you dont really want to stick a true freshman at center in 2018.

        Centers are kind of hard to find, let alone a top 5 instate center.

  • hOUligan says:

    With OU taking only 2-3 Olinemen it is imperative they hold onto Tyrese and nothing has given a hint of wavering on his part. Creed would be a nice get, too, plus he’s an Okie kid. 247, FWIW, has OT Zabie 100% to OU. And Super K, if you’re reading the posts, could someone check and verify whether Chuck Filiaga has an OU offer. That’s the guy I’d like to see OU get.

  • blaster1371 says:

    I’ve cooled on Parrish Cobb. Not a huge fan of OU being the “fall back” plan.

    Sounds like the recruiting event planned for July 29th is something like what Texass does/did. Get all these recruits together with the commits and talk about being the future team. Sounds like a good idea to me.

    • hOUligan says:

      Was just reading that in the link on Hall. Getting all of the commits together and hopefully the top recruits for a cookout/party to bond is something I’ve been hoping to see for a while. Some music and some food and just let these guys get to know each other and the coaches in a very relaxed atmosphere.

      • Scott says:

        I heard Coach Cooks can really cook.

      • blaster1371 says:

        I like that idea. I think these kids are swayed more by how they “feel” rather than the cold hard data of OU achievements and history. That is the main reason I think texass will be a lot better this year. Chucky Strong will be rid of most of Mack’s guys and will be using his guys who have built this persona of being the second coming of Texass football.

    • DCinAZ says:

      Don’t care about Cobb. Not sure why we bother talking about him.

  • Tex'ish says:

    Great stuff TFB – THANK YOU – and HAPPY FRIDAY!

  • Katyboomer says:

    K or any TFB’s, are you all coming out with any t-shirts this year? I like to get them to help support the site for all the work you all do.

  • DCinAZ says:

    Not sure I understand how ATM and especially Ole Miss are still getting visits from the quality of players that they’re getting looks from. Seems there’s a disconnect between fantasy and reality among recruits. I don’t get it.

  • Sooner Ray says:

    Nice to see the future targets coming together, spots have to be getting tight at this point. Can’t wait till everyone is cleared and we can get some good updates on progress.

  • Randy says:

    http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3878489/harrison-loveless Not sure how he only has a few offers.. Honestly like his film better than Chassion or Robinson..

  • Matt says:

    You guys see this? I love stuff like this! I can’t tell but I think the player at the end that yells “let’s go!” is Mixon. If so, he is huge. https://twitter.com/ou_football/status/743861989340942336

    • ⚡️Electric Sooner⚡️ says:

      Yes that’s him and yes he is a physical specimen!! Can’t wait to see him run some people over:)

      • soonerSD says:

        It’s hard to believe he’s going to be a little faster and stronger but from what I/we have heard of his work ethic and the fact he is still young there’s a really good chance he will be.

        • ⚡️Electric Sooner⚡️ says:

          I want to see him run the wildcat this year!

        • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

          It’s not hard to believe at all. He’s was the number 1 RB coming out. He’s a total hoss and will only get better. I saw him when he was a true freshman before the Tennessee game and even then he was massive. Kid will like it up in the NFL.

      • Birddawg says:

        Run over.. Through.. Around…Again again and again

    • DCinAZ says:

      That’s definitely Mixon. He doesn’t mess around.

  • ouwooferman says:

    Great update SUPER K> Thanks for all you do!

  • metzker says:

      • Jed says:

        The big ones (Reds), yes. But incredibly, and I mean INCREDIBLY, stupid. Make deer look like Einstein. Very easy to shoot if they are causing a nuisance. Unfortunately, not too tasty; though they beat being hungry.

        • Drew says:

          Met a guy from Papua New Guinea who would hunt these things for food. They’d find a trail, and he’d hide behind a tree with a club while another guy would scare one along the trail. Then *wham*, fresh meat. Said they’d bag a few a day that way.

    Well, it’s that time of year again to play Christmas in July. I like to go around and collect empty Vodka and Gin bottles from friends and family.

          • Scott says:

            I have a friend who knows Najee and he told me theirs a slight chance that Najee may use one of his OV for OU. I believe OU is still recruiting AJ Davis. I also heard some rumors about James Robinson , I thought OU was totally out of the running for these guys but I guess not. IMO I don’t think Najee will come but the James Robinson situation could get interesting.

            Yeah, I actually read for a while before I started posting here for the first time because I wasn’t crazy about the platform. I’ve learned to live with it and have noticed that a few sites I view are also using it now. It could be better but it could also be much worse.

      I could be wayy off base, but I noticed you had 12 players listed as starters. I feel like I heard somewhere that they were going to use the nickel as the hybrid outside backer, so the only actual OLB would be the jack backer. Again, I could be wayy off base.

      • blaster1371 says:

        NB won’t line up as the Jack. It’s like the West Virginia base defense of 3-3-5. OU almost never ( I would say never as I cannot remember seeing the NB blitz) blitzes the NB but will bring the FS or a CB. Whomever the Jack is usually stays on the field as they have to be able to fall into coverage or they become the fourth pass rusher.

Daryl changed the subject to Texas sucks again Joe chimmed in and added Texas sucks for life. Kj created a website Texas sucks eat more Bevo to which Native STL CDZ and CAV al joined right away. Ou know and Framoka joined later that day. Lcarpetron brought over a cool Art Briles book labeled I didn’t know but if I did and Hou offered 25 bucks for it since ART had signed it. Hwnsbn showed everyone a photo of dead Bevo which was awesome while Texas sucks screamed Texas sucks. SKeith really got in to the Texas sucks chant and began yelling it with Canada and Oorah. Mikey then did a keg stand with 89 and 92 while the chant was going on a casy started a new chant that went man this Bevo tasted good 4ever said it was music to his ears and the party ended. Enjoy TFB Family.

    any news with Bryce Younguist?

    • Rick says:

      Nothing beyond what Stoops supplied on signing day. Lots of rumor, inuendo, conjecture. The kid’s twitter page is still 100% Boomer Sooner. It was stated something personal, rumored health, so I’ve got to think it was something he was wanting to work out in his life. Stoops said it was nothing to do with anything legal or criminal or anything like that.

      • jimintexas says:

        I would hope that by this time next year, people would stop asking. The family and OU have made it clear that the family wants this to be private. OU should be commended for respecting their wishes. We do not have the right to know. If anything changes, it will be all over the boards. Time for everyone to show the family respect and move on.

        • Bob Edwards says:

          And it’s not like this question isn’t asked on here all the time and the same answer given. I checked it was asked on Thursday.

          • cpearc00 says:

            You’re right, let’s all wade through all the crap in the comments to find meaningful answers to football relevant questions. This comment board has become a joke.

          • soonerinks says:

            I limit myself to the top of the daily news and then read all of the open posts hoping for some football news.

          • ccmosaic says:

            Agree, I stick to the paid boards more now. This honestly used to be a great board but in the last couple months it has simply turned into a a joke. I love the content we get from TFB but this format just really does not work at all.

          • BleedCrimson says:

            I watched a movie abOUt yOU. Clueless.

          • Jpsooner23 says:

            Seriously, I believe that most of the folks on this board would welcome any new news you get from paid boards. Feel free to initiate a football conversation with any pertinent info.

            It is June BTW, not a whole lot going on.

          • Jpsooner23 says:

            Why are you on it? Serious, just curious. I’m sure Jordan would be willing to listen to any compelling arguments for change if many people feel it’s needed.

    • Dana Rogers says:

      Nothing we love better here in Sooner Nation than belittling someone that asks a simple question. Make sure and tell all your friends and come back soon. Boomer!

  • DR LEO MARVIN says:

    So it is fathers day weekend as everyone here knows. I must clean out METZ AKA my fathers garage today. Very depressing but it must be done. You all may not know that METZ has been whining about the condition of his garage for about a year now. It is mostly my hot rod junk and a bunch of his old junk that sits in this garage. Now while I clean out his garage for Fathers day I am considering stealing his 450 150 and 100 to keep for my own. It is only fair as he never rides them. By the way METZ is a rich dude so a Fathers day gift for the METZ who already has it all is out of the question.

    Congratz to the Reindeer lovers on making the CWS. Game about to start for any hoping the Cowpokes (Was gonna say Cowgirls, but didn’t want to offend any girls OUt there) can represent the state.

    So my family and I are starting our cross-country trek for my new job in Washington (state). Landed tonight in Norman to visit with the in-laws and friends for a week, and then we are off. Had a great dinner at Tarahumera’s, and drove by the new stadium. Hot damn, I can’t wait to be at the home opener this year to see the new stadium in all its glory!! Hope all of you have a great Father’s Day (if applicable!) and rest of the weekend! Maybe we will start getting juicier OP’s since all the freshman should be there next week!

    The only thing wrong with the 3 B12 teams at the CWS in Omaha is that none of them are Oklahoma.

      • 47 Straight OU Know says:

        Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads out there in Brainiac land!!! “It’s another great day to be a SOONER” It will forever be etched in my brain the football wrestling Matches him and Hacksaw Jim Dugan would have, the old OU vs. SMU showdown. Good times.

      • SanMarcosSooner says:

        Dr. Death was the best!

        • ccmosaic says:

          I became a huge Sooner fan thanks to this cat. I used to watch old school Championship Wrestling with my dad on Sunday mornings with my dad. Steven Dr. Death Williams was my fav. How could I not support the Sooners if Dr. Death went to school there?

          • ⚡️Electric Sooner⚡️ says:

            Yep, the old Mid-South Championship Wrestling was my favorite!!

  • Oscar says:

    Internet rumor: Lakers may take Buddy at #2.

    • SoonerinLondon says:

      I would be shocked, but thrilled.

      Prefer my Celtics, at #3 (but don’t see that happening either). I think he’s probably 5-7, but I have to say that he really seems to have gained some momentum in workouts.

      What a great kid. I wish him only success.

  • Oscar says:

    Waiting for an announcement from Joe Castiglione on who the new tennis coach will be. Anybody have a clue???

  • Walter Sobcek says:

    Father’s Day rmeinds me of the great Bing Crosy line from “Holiday Inn,” where a young lady tells him that her dad never amounted to much in the business world, but was devoted to his family.
    “Were you happy?” Bing asks?
    “Oh, yes, she reponds.
    “Then your father was a very successful man,” Bng says.
    To all the Sooner men out there –whether or not you have a a fancy car or house, or a VP title next to your name — If you’re a good father, then you are “a very successful man.”
    Enjoy the day…

  • Ed Cotter says:

    Happy Father’s Day to all the dads in the TFB Family. Have a fantastic day fellas. BOOMER SOONER!

    Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there! 11:26 Mountain Standard and texas still SUCKS!

    How many of you knew that Bill Cosby is one of Baylor’s biggest fans.—————

    • RBear says:

      He’s a fan of whoever granted him an honorary degree

    • DrewChubbs says:

      He’s also a Pokie State fan. When he did a standup routine at the Oklahoma Civic Center in the 90’s, he got an honorary degree from them before his show.

  • Matt S. says:

    Happy Fathers Day. This song pretty well sums up all men…especially the very end.

  • Coach JK says:

    Anyone know if Johncarlo Valentin and Kapri Doucet have reported yet?

    • Jdizzle says:

      Well, Valentin, being from the norheast, didn’t graduate til early to mid June. He should be soon.

  • luvsoonersA53 says:

    John Carlos just graduated Friday day before yesterday.

  • Sooner Ray says:

    Cleveland will burn cars tonight.

  • OohRah Mama says:

    Aaaaaaand SUCKIT Draymond Green.

    Wish it were our boyz, but the fact that it isn’t Green & Curry either helps cut the sting.

  • Walter Sobcek says:

    That was a close but ugly game 7. I don’t watch much NBA, and I don’t think I’ve missed much. I can’t see either of these teams being able to hang with the ’90s Bulls or Showtime Lakers.

  • Sooner Ray says:

    Was this national sleep-in day and I forgot?

  • ouwooferman says:

    Well glad that weekend is over. Good Morning all. Boomer!

          I’m not sure. I have family that live in Norman and Edmond but they are my aunts which both are married so they don’t use the name. My grandparents are from Sentinel, Ok and my grandpas brothers (some of them) are in Cali

    Is it the weekend yet? Morning Sooners!

    ?…. No Sooners News Daily….?

  • CrimsonNative says:

    I really hope we can keep Murray away from Tejas. That kid is going to be something special. I don’t want to lose another “longtime fan” to the shorthorns, especially a kid like Murray. Hopefully, with Tejas only being able to take three more at this point and possibly three more in the summer, due to attrition, they won’t have room for him. One would think that he is a guy you just have to take over another but, who knows.

    • BigJoeBrown says:

      Well this blows for the Big 12. Really need to find a way to get out of here.

    • CrimsonNative says:

      Sounds like ESPN realized they aren’t as popular as they thought they were. Get rid of the college games and we get rid of you. I don’t even watch ESPN.
