Recent OU commit Chanse Sylvie alluded to another possible addition to the Sooners’ 2016 class earlier today, and 2016 CB Parrish Cobb ended the suspense Saturday evening with the following.
This recruiting process has been an unbelievable experience! & I'm proud to say I've committed to the UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA!🔴⚪#SOONERS #OU

As K mentioned earlier in the week, this likely closes things out for Oklahoma at CB in this 2016 class. With all likelihood, barring any unforeseen changes going forward, OU only takes one more 2016 safety.
We’ll have more on Cobb in the coming days, but wanted to get the good news up for you all now in the meantime.
And, of course….

BOOM!
BOOM!!!
I’m drinking a Sapporo in celebration of this!
Nice! Asahi man myself, but I’ll join ya from Cali…
Asahi is good too. I’m a yuengling man personally, but Sapporo sounded good today.
Boom! The Yuengling Oktoberfest is tasty.
Yes it is!
I am having a medalia in Puerto Rico
So frustrating we can’t get Yuengling west of the ole Mississipp.
I agree. I can’t get it in KY either. I am always looking for some whenever I have to travel.
Not sure where you live but i’m pretty sure I’ve seen it in Tahlequah and Norman.
Pabst blue ribbon over here!
The old PBR. If I drink that now I get a headache.
Sapporo has a very special place in my heart! Long story: I was at a karaoke bar with some friends and we were all drinking whatever our beer of choice was. We were 2 rounds in when along come 5 Japanese men in suits, seated just across the room from us. They proceed to order a round of Asahi for their table. When the waitress arrives with their order, they yell “Asahi!”, slam a fist on the table and chug the beer. We start cracking up when suddenly I remember the Sapporo commercials that end with a high pitched “Sapporo!”. I tell everyone that the next round is on me and the waitress delivers a round of Sapporo to our table. We proceed to hold up our glasses to the Asahi guys, and once we have all locked eyes, we yell “Sapporo!” in our best falsetto and chug our beer. They were wide eyed, and quickly call for another round of Asahi! We accepted the challenge and ordered another round of Sapporo as well. After 4 rounds of “battle”, our adversaries tipped their glasses to us and ordered a round of cold sake for our table. It was absolutely a blast! ??
That’s an awesome story. Wish I could top that, but I just like the taste of it.
Hahaha! I enjoy Sapporo as well, so it wasn’t a hard challenge. I usually order Kirin Ichiban, since it is brewed in Southern California, I never have to worry about stale beer ?
Nothing wrong with that. Nothing like a fresh brew to quinch your thirst.

If theres only 1 safety spot available, do we have much chance of landing shurod thompson without also taking parker? Or would we take both?
Good question
I think we get a transfer or two and end up taking 5 dbs
I could see this class being bigger as well if a couple of the elite guys want to commit and us moving to more nickel package with 5 dB it would not be out of the question.
May have an extra scholarship with Wood not showing up.
Jordan parker? Shurod Thompson? Obi eboh?
Boom! The last two weekends feel like Christmas!
does that rule out Obi Uboh ??
https://twitter.com/thefbbrainiacs/status/630164560389877760
Which is a good pitch to the kids where after. no spot is guaranteed first come first serve!
Which one of the Cali kids is a safety? Would they tell them no? That’s a lot of talent.
Thomson is the safety. I don’t see them taking any other DB. Thomson is the main focus.
Doubt they say no to Brandon Burton, or to Deontay Anderson if he became interested. Cooks and Stoops can be very picky for that last spot. I like it.
Hudl says he runs a 4.37 40. Wow! Boomer!
Is a pretty good KR with that speed as well and OU has had several great KR that played in the secondary!
Scout has him as 4.62 verified.
Shows you the discrepancies from one service to the next.
2016 secondary class looking SOLID! What a great 2 weeks in recruiting! #OUDNA
Back to Back great recruiting classes in the Secondary. Great News!
I think they take on more cb if he’s an elite talent, only because Chandler is a juco guy and only has two years to play
I think you hit that one right on the head. A spot is there for an elite guy.
I hear there might be another by nights end……..
Jefferson?
I’m saying Jefferson or Shaq.
you hear a name or just a possibility of another? Share the wealth pretty please!
Where did you hear this? Any idea who?? Please tell!! 🙂
I think TFB are just telling us that as things stand right now they appear to be done at CB! Obviously they can’t account for a overwelming talent telling the coaches he wants to play at OU, so the coaches take another CB. they also surely cannot account for any tranfers and/or injuries from the DB position that may open up spots later this year or early next year. As it stands right now it appears OU will have 2 really good DB recruiting efforts and that is a HUGE PLUS!
the recruiters for OU have certainly turned it up a notch.
And watch Cooks coach these guys up also. BOOMER
He was Co defensive coordinator at notre dame before monty talked him into coming here.
BOOM! Welcome to Sooner Nation, Mr. Cobb.
Tyrie Cleveland is saying it’s decision time on Twitter
Texas A&M
Feeling an SEC team but maybe it in reference to something else and we still have time to make up ground.
Yeah it doesn’t look like where going to win that one but I hope I’m wrong
Chanse I THINK is saying someone else is about to commit…
Keep the booms coming!
If Chanse is the Tyrie Whisperer I’m going to lose it on here.
Give us Southall, Kelly, Bledsoe, and a surprise flip in parker and I think everything else will fall in place at this point.
Top defensive secondary in a passing conference for years to come.
It’s starting to look like that with the addition of in my opinion the best top to bottom dB class we got in years plus the guys we have committed it’s definitely a bright future.
Chess pieces only succeed when put in the proper position. Time will tell.
BOOM !!!
The other Boom if there is another boom might be Eric Cuffee. Just a guess
Hoping Caleb Kelly can’t hold back the enthusiasm and pulls the trigger!
Super K tweeted this helps Texas with Cuffee so probably not. Excited to see who it is though.
Sylvie tweeted about another one right after retweeting tyrie Cleveland saying it was decision time
What a big get that would be.
He ran a 4.36 laser 40
He wasn’t coverable at the Opening
If he commits it’s huge
Dang! And great size as well.
That’s not “fast.” That’s “not fair.”
Gundy and Bendenbaugh are pathetic. So sick of them being behind the game in this recruiting stuff. Kish and Cooks making them look bad. We are done!
Easy killer! they will bring in there fair share of guys the weekend isn’t over with yet lol. #oudna
Just some sarcasm for our kish haters….
I never been a fan of his recruiting ability but the kids like him and he can coach. I’m not a kish hater some guys are just better position coaches than recruiter and as long as the we got cook and viney putting in the work on the recruiting trail we should be fine.
Kerry Cooks seems to be taking off from where JM left and some more!! If the guy can coach half of how good he can recruit we will be more than just OK!!! BOOM
Agree with you completely our d line is set up for years because of him plus he was key in getting frison, Mbanosaur, and deberry and monty was key in getting cooks to come here
Cooks and viney are definitely putting in the work for sure.
Gotta find a way to keep Viney, no exception.
Yeah..hes got swag…we would have to lose either a wr or backer coach…I wonder who the popular choice would be
I don’t think we have quality control coordinator and it seems a lot of other teams do I think he would be perfect for the position 🙂
We have Austin Woods as O qc and CJ ah you as ST qc..how many qc positions do they have …I suppose there isn’t one listed for D
I think that’s what it was, if not we might have to start him a go fund me account to keep him around.
Simple as this we don’t keep viney we don’t get Kelly he already made that clear. Find a spot make a spot he’s been key in getting alot of players here.
Agreed. Create a position for him: “Director of Locking Up Top Talent.” It’s in the Department of Winning.
I don’t care if sylvie never plays a down for us. The impact that kid is making is huge.
Definitely this year’s class ambassador love kids that want nothing more than being a sooner
Is anyone else all over the net looking for a second boom?
Yes, I don’t know if it will be tonight but there’s got to be hint somewhere.
Just stick around if there’s a boom we will be the first ones to know.
Not happening tonight
Are you expecting tyrie to commit?
LOL nice try…if they new…well…they aint (another writer) who likes to steal a kids moment
KD?
Do you think it will happen in a day or two?
We’ve been hearing rumors of Stanvon to WR. Any chance this becomes true to open up another ’16 DB slot? Or is that apples/oranges since Stanvon is a JR?
He was explosive coming out of high school could be a better move instead of being buried on the depth chart.
The only rumor of a Stanvon to WR I’ve heard was wishful thinking by posters on this board
That’s what I thought too and I’m one of those wishful thinkers.
Welcome to Sooner Nation, Parrish Cobb.
May you have a great career at OU and become another legendary Sooner.
With the the commitment of Youngquist and Kelly coming eventually are we only looking to take one more or two more guys I know where in on jefferson and Bundage but with us moving to a more nickel based defence that only features two “true” lb would we be ok with just 3 lb in this class?
My opinion is that bundage waited too long. Unless they really really want him.
All signs point toward him coming, it would be hard to say no to the best player in the state.
I’ve heard mixed opinions about whether he’s an OU lean. I think it’s easy not to take the best player when he’s a hybrid player. We already have youngquist and terry. Then kelly seems to be a huge OU lean. So for that 4th LB spot do you really want to take a project or would you take Jefferson, Marvin terry, or the kid they offered the other day?
I agree with you on the lb situation with the scollys getting a little tight but Terry is not going to play a “true” lb position he will polly play the jack/stand up de. So that leaves us with Youngquist and Kelly and jefferson. In this defence the lb has to be able to play in space and I really like what Bundage brings to the table.
I saw a video a few weeks ago when he was being interviewed for the top 30 Okie preps. I was not only unimpressed with the fact that he mentioned Okie Lite and not OU, but the way he spoke and his demeanor.
I don’t know the young man, but personally I would be okay if they pass him by.
We prob past on him long ago and the interview showed it
And I would okay with that. 🙂
What does he weigh…that seem to be the prerequisite for the backers
Probably enough. :-0
Thanks didn’t see the video just going off a few sites that has him an ou lean 247 sports has him going to ou 100% but if he came off like that and doesn’t sound excited at the thought of coming here… louser state can have him.
Here it is, judge for yourself. I really don’t like his demeanor.
http://newsok.com/super-30-how-edmond-santa-fes-calvin-bundage-transformed-into-states-top-recruit/article/5436190
Seems kind of clueless to me.
I agree.
Wow! Really not even mention Oklahoma and his demeanor was not a good sign either is kid from Millwood? Yeah not looking good I understand when your a highly rated prospect you want to take it slow and take your visits but it seemed like a slap in the face.
Just the way he presents made me uncomfortable. His rattling off all the other schools except for OU sealed it for me.
you would think he would of showed us a little respect.. what I don’t understand is how the recruiting sites have him so high on Oklahoma….they must not of seen the video either
I don’t go to those other sites so I have no clue what they are saying. I will ask you this, though, when was the last time you saw the Brainiacs mention his name?
You couldn’t be anymore right on that one EasTex
I thought he said OU right after he said OsU. But it was a bit of a mumble. I could be wrong, could be what I wanted to hear.
I rather like BOOM’S!
Vaguely obscene. I’ll allow it.
Welcome, Mr. Cobb. Welcome.
Hey not to bash on any QB’s just a genuine question could you pass along who was throwing when Deberry got his pick 6 in practice today?
Lol you don’t want to bash yet you want to know the qb hehe
Yeah..? That might be weird to some of yall but I don’t bash on the QB’s too much haha. I mean it is only practice 3..
Just thought that was funny…nvr seen you raggin before….btw I heard it was Gundy…fire Gibbs
Yeah I see now how my post looks to other people haha. Kinda like I wanna bash… Haha.
They secret to enjoying the recruiting process is to just sit back and watch it happen. ?
Whiskey and don’t give a F works for me…I trust the brand
Exactly.
Sweet iced tea and a “just surprise me” attitude works for me.
In the morning its coffee black…noon till dusk its unsweet tea…after that its scotch or brewskies
Whatever works.
Once I learned that alcohol is body waste from microorganisms I quit. It even smells like p**s to me, now.
Well I aint a monk so the alcohol lowers stress…a recent supercentaruian said her doc told her to drink a brew and whiskey every day and she’s 110…I don’t like going over 2-3 since Im not in college anymore…Im not even gonna reply to the micro waste lol
Many alcoholic beverages were created by Monks. LOL!
They must have been stressed out.
I don’t need toxic excretions or any other substance to make it through the day. When big city life gets to me I just head to Caddo Lake, wet a line, fry up some fish, look at the stars and decompress.
Yeah I do the same…youd be surprise the moments you can just sit and enjoy the moment and block everything out…some call it day dreaming but to me its just a way of life…btw I thought it was the christian monks…I went farther east
When I’m feeling tensed up and can’t get away, I just head to the range and bust off some rounds. Shrinking my universe to the size of a quarter for an hour and blocking everything else out always relaxes me.
yeah like you say,,,whatever works…I hit the six string or mess with horses the most
Just a quick story and I need to hit the bunk.
I was picking up a neighbor at DFW airport this afternoon. I had just parked in a newly renovated parking garage and was approaching the cross walk to the terminal when I heard a soft female voice say “excuse me, sir?” I turned and saw a young woman in her 20’s in a fairly new Honda Accord with the window rolled down. She asked me how she could get from inside the parking garage to the roadway in front of the terminal.
I thought it strange, so I asked if who she was picking up was already waiting outside(it was 104), and she said yes. I said just tell them to cross the street to the garage and pick them up there.
She was holding her phone in her hand and said “well, I’m trying to do the Uber X pickup.” I was really stunned and the hair on the back of my neck raised up, so I told her just exit the garage and circle around. She looked around and said “how do I ex…” and I cut her off with “good luck.”
Schtoopid people driving and schtoopid people willing to get in the car with them and they don’t even have commercial grade insurance.
Hahahah….ohmmmmmmm ohmmmmm…goodnight buddy
Those guys? They just fought all the time they were so stressed out. 🙂
lol yeah those cats were fast as lightnin
lots of time on their hands……..
JD, I’ll go with beers in the summer (good ones – mostly IPA). I’ll take a nice single-malt in fall and winter – Lagavulin mostly. I agree with Eas Tex on coffee and my Sooners, but differ on spirits 🙂
LOL!
And why do they call them “spirits?”
/the devil made me do it
LOL I never blame the devil…I take all the blame
Not me, I blame the refs (or saxet).
Oh…I blame other people…just not for my life…I make my own destiny
Wow – just saw the time! A great BOOM this evening, so I better get some sleep and get ready for my Sunday morning Kona and any more Booms tomorrow.
Good night buddy…easy sleeping
Invictus, baby.
Cant go wrong with the IPAs…recenty tried HornyFrog..pretty good
As my English teacher always asked…”who is they?”
They’s ones with these secretses
Exqueeze me…baking powder…did you say secretions?
Ha, stupid I Pad got me again….edited now.
Schtoopid auto-correct.
Ray, you there?
I’m here on occasion, been real busy. Getting ready to move some more hay today. Trying to get everything done before season starts.
Okay, then.
Ugh. Just finished my last in call weekend before football… I take extra in the summer to skip the fall… It’s a great Sunday
Just saw this fellow brainiacs, I’m feeling some magic creeping back into the mix, ready for some foozball baby!
Sooner Magic is alive and well on a first come first serve basis so hop on before the bandwagon fans do 😉
Jordan Parker has OU in his top 7. Interesting.
Kid has good measurables but I think we will be full at dB by the time he’s ready to commit
I would bet they take one more CB, not sure who. But we need 1 more.
They will not turn away elite talent I could see em taking 5 dB this year
I could see Cobb as a RB in the offense. But you are right can’t have enough.
That’s very possible alas Allen Patrick who was recruited to play safety and who knows injury could play a roll so there’s no telling but I think more than anything we picked up a lighting quick cb that that can play press or cover 3 and last but not least he isnt going to need to give a 10 yard cushin to anybody.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4boHvSHXsPc
Especially if where going to play 5 dB most of the time plus I don’t remember this many talented db beating down our front door this early in the recruiting process.
I bet it will be eboh and wrap up the class by bring in Thompson and that’s a wrap 5 dbs just like we both predicted 😉
Who would’ve guessed OU would be in the position to tell DB’s “Commit soon or you’ll lose your spot.” This early in the cycle??
If they know they can play immediately… It makes it very enticing. And face it, they likely will
I’m good with a late night BOOM!!!
That would make two of us!
Thompson would be the last DB taken. The other 2 from.Cali will not go. Im ok with that.
I bet Bob and the staff make room for an extra DB if they get a kid they really like, that wants to commit. They’ve done it before, and really, it’s just good roster management. I bet we lose a current DB after this season anyways, one we weren’t expecting. Nobody particular in mind, just seems like somebody might not like their playing time or the new coach, and might decide to go elsewhere.
I agree with the move to a more nickel I think we take an extra db and one less lb than anticipated
Thanks for the information, Jordan. BOOMS! are always welcomed, early and often.
I just watched Cobb’s hudl video, wow! He’s physical, fast, aggressive, and very elusive.
Couldn’t agree more! Looks like punt returns are an option as well!
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2193271/highlights/180123380/v2
There’s got to be something wrong with this kid. He jams the receivers physically at the line of scrimmage, covers them like fly paper, and tackles violently if they happen to still make the catch.
On some board (not concensus) 6 of the 9 recruits are now 4 star. A couple of the 3 and 4 star recruits could move up a place. The class is not finished yet (although it will be a small recruiting class) with maybe the most talented recruits to come. I feel much better about the recruiting than I did a couple of years ago. Boomer!
You and your stats. But the sky is falling Rick.
You can’t rain on my day buttercup, clear blue skies.
The main thing I’m excited about is the db and dl “thanks monty” can’t help but see these guys as being great players
But top to bottom the last two classes has play makers at all position don’t really see a weekness at all.
Couldn’t agree more. I like what I’m seeing recruiting in 2015 and 16.
Wait til them big boys on dl monty got last year and it could be scary for opposing offence
I love Cobb’s aggression. He really will bring the wood. I think his footwork might need some work, but loved the fact that he seems really consistent in his jamming WR’s on the line. Keep them coming.
