Called it Friday… Farrar and Swenson… but instead of a ‘dOUble BOOM’ we got the hat trick for the weekend!!!
I was with ya’ on that BOOM-BOOM, but with OUr 2017 Bonus Baby, we get BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!
Welcome to the Sooner Nation
Sweet! Now come on down Mykel Jones and were set at WR!
I thought it was THUNDER but it was just all the BOOMS!
BOOOOOOOM!!!!! Class shaping up real nice.
Nice. Guys had better get with it if they want to be a Sooner. Spots are filling up fast. BOOMER!
What is our fill number?
TFB can answer that a lot better and I would imagine we will see something in the next couple days leading up to signing day, but it can’t be more than 20-22 or so. I am not too sure with the guys that have left (Knight, Alexander, Sanchez, Green, etc) and those coming in via transfer (Murray and the Penn State WR). I hope it’s more than I think, as we are at like 17 or 18 now with Farrar committing.
Needed a quality WR in this class. Now if we can just get Jones.
A haw haw haw haw ….. Be a Sooner!! Welcome ‘Ballout Farrar’!!!

SE-C……..SEE YOU LATER
Insert comment about “Big Boys” , “Little 12-2” , “real conference”
Yesssssss!
Boom! Got that size, athleticism.
Now bring us a burner.
He runs like a tall tailback. Power.
Yep. I’ve seen him swat guys down with one hand after the catch. Plays with power for sure.
He almost has the physique of a track sprinter. IMO. I like what I see.
I love how he goes after the ball and uses his hands. Need a good outside receiver to stretch the field and get the jump balls.
I would like to take this time to toot my own horn… haha I saw him play vs Union this year and I got on here and said how dominant he looked and that i thought it was a kid ou should definitely look into, low and behold 4 months later he commits to the good guys! So excited to see him grow in our program and Show the rest of college football that OUDNA he has the next few years! Boom!!!
Another season of finishing strong on the recruiting trail.
Hopefully this “big bodied” WR works out. We haven’t gotten much out of big WR’s here under Stoops, as only Kelly was listed at 6’2 or bigger that stood out. Still hoping we can land Jones or the kid that was committed to Bama as a potential smaller WR that IMO, fits our needs better. Not saying I’m not excited for Farrar though. Seems like solid talent.
Is Farrar more than a possession type receiver ? Reminds me of Jordan Smallwood or Dallis Todd.
Smallwood is who I thought of. He’s pretty smooth but not like Todd.
Your world is very small.
Ok homeboy, you “claim” to be a Sooner fan and put the front up that you want to see us elite but are frustrated with the current state of the conference and program. If this is fact, please go to the top of this BOOM board and post one positive comment with no asterisk. Let’s see it. Just a simple BOOM! Is it too hard for you??
OU has moved into Rivals top 20 …..
LOL, there you go! Doesn’t that feel better than you’re usual posts??
Tool, you can’t even follow proper instructions
BOOM!!!

FUNNY!
HA!
Farrar comes from an elite HS program. He will know what it means to compete on every play with a champions mindset. Welcome aboard, Dragon!
Robert Barnes will join him next year. I don’t mind one bit stacking up kids from Southlake or Allen.
Yup
Or, Trinity! Come on clicclac97! We are blessed with great HS FB in this area!
Boom!!!
Boom!

‘Atta boy, Rick!
Can you explaint the little purple beasties on the tweet, they really creep me out. Reminds me of the TCU mascot.
It’s just more of a “beast-mode/dog mentality” symbol. Definitely not a horny toad correlation, lol.
Good, that’s exactly what I think every time I see it.
Okay, so who’s left to get by Feb. 3? Go!
Hopefully TFB will be able to do a preliminary breakdown before signing day in regards to spots available and guys to fill those spots.
Off the top of my head
Caleb Kelly
Mark Jackson
Mykel Jones

No doubt. Love a guy that truly has the OUDNA!
That’s a big dude. I love that we landed this cat. Alot
Can’t wait to see what he looks like coming out of our summer program. Looks like he will punish DBs!
He will. I hope he does something similat to what the Tulsa dudes did to poor Sanchez, lol. It was painful to watch him repeatedly be swatted like a fly
Boom
We still in it for like 5-6 recruits. Signing day will be fun
So what do we call this? A SONIC BOOM? 3 commits in one weekend.

BOOM!!
Damn it feels good to be a Sooner! What a freaking weekend. Let’s carry this MO into NSD men!
This kid is an absolute beast and if I’m not mistaken it looked like he had a field day on tulsa unions tre brown.
Up to 20th now on rivals. And we suck at recruiting apparently.
A couple of big dudes, and a skilled dude in one weekend. #WaitOnIt is pretty fitting here I think. Patience!
Very disciplined route running and solid hands. Kid will excel in fly and post routes. We land a local WR after all the shenanigans two weeks ago… *slow claps*
Watching his tape makes me wonder about the 3 star rating? Kid high points the ball like a beast and makes a ton of “competitive catches.” Looks to already have a man’s physique and I could definitely see him earning some early reps. This is a great add! BOOMER
Sorry to ask, but can anyone shed some light on the Bryce Youngquist situation?
It seems like he might be in a bigger competition than football. Speculation is major health.
Oh my!!! Let’s hope not!!! Young man seems like an outstanding kid. You are in our prayers Bryce. We are praying for the best for you.
He just says he’s not signing with anyone. Personal reasons, said a statement would be forth coming, everything else is pure speculation. It could be anything. It is not a decommittment.
Hopefully he is not under going health problems, that would just be terrible for such a great young man.
It might be, but it wasn’t stated. Nothing was stated other than “personal”.
True, it’s probably best to leave it there until he speaks on it. I presume that the university will support him appropriately if possible.
Where did you find him saying that he isn’t signing with anyone?
It was reported here through TFB earlier in the week. I think it was K. You can look it up.
Boom! very good pickup
Triple BOOM!! weekend!!! It’s a great day to be a Sooner!
YES! Boom, Boom, Bada-BOOM! Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice weekend, eh TFBrs?
Cush, are you excited.
And you aren’t buddy????
I am, Rick. I just got back from having dinner with some friends.
Of course this is the first thing I do: check in to see a BOOM! happened.
My wife and I do Church over the phone when I’m not at home. I had just finished up with her and tuned in myself just shortly before the last BOOM. I hear we might not be done in the near future.
Let’s hope not.
Are you located in Oklahoma? I’m coming out for the tOSU game. I’d like to talk religion with you. RR and I planned on getting together.
I live on Lake Texoma, I have a couple of houses there and a condo in OKC, but I’m never at home. I’m in St. Louis tonight. I travel extensively.
Busy man, I see.
Just an old truck driver, sorta.
Sorta old, or sorta a truck driver? LOL.
Sorta both, I haul mostly big oversized loads, so I don’t deliver, run grab something else and run again. It usually takes some time in between runs to prepare for the next one. My grandaughters would tell you I’m ancient. They remember me as a administrator for a natural gas company back in the 70-80’s, teaching school in the 90’s, and never being home anymore after that.
Sooner Ray, my man. We got our BOOM!
A weekend full, gonna be a fun week for the glass half full crowd.
Yepper. I’m going to stay around a little more this week to fight off the negative crowd. I hope to see EasTex back on here some time after noon. All of the LOIs should be in by then.
Sam I am! Glad to see you joined the party, brother!
I do not like Green Eggs and Ham.
RBear, you know I hear that all the time, right?
How are you, sir?
What are our chances of landing Jackson? I like that kid.
33% looks like- which is better than it was mid-week!
That kids looks like a difference maker on defense. If OU went back to a four-man front, opposing team would have to play the line straight up.
He’s ferocious. I’m be more than happy to have ’em.
Try them, try them and you may. Try them and you may I say!
Full-disclosure (my son loves to read this book).
Jake, good evening, sir. I peek in whenever I get the chance. Where are you located, Jake?
I’m in North OKC, right on the brink of Edmond/Deer Creek area. Great spot for our family. How about you?
Ohio. Up by Lake Erie.
Very nice. Where are you from originally?
I go through Youngstown occasionally, I would be temped to buy you dinner next time I’m through.
If you go by Dayton, look up my ol buddy “Tex” he is a super Sooner fan.
If you’re coming through Akron, let me know. I will rearrange my schedule to meet up with you.
I never know when, but I came through twice in October and once in November. I haven’t been back since then. I would love to meet you though. My wife usually escorts my loads through there with me.
I would really like that Rick. Just let me know. There are some great restaurants in the area.
I often stop in Seville.
I’m familiar with Seville. Central Ohio.
Would love to talk to you anytime.
MUCH BETTER than all the Thursday gloooooooooom. I say that Friday “posititivity” paid off! However, I am trying to stay calm – bust all out about noon on WED!
I was perplexed why SD joined us tonight with all the good news over the weekend.
Sunday evening and he’s all out of “negative” pills.
You’ve gotta read between his line: what appears positive is in fact a slight, more times than not.
He’s complaining. Huggies wipe that he is.
Yeah and notice he didn’t give a Boom, he never does. His seeming positive and typical doomsday posts are just tricks to see who will reply to him. He’s a blight.
He was just questioning the kids ability, nothing new.
Yes, you’re right. I think you and I checked out early a couple days.
I still have to work a little too 🙂 Next weekend might be “make up” time.
@HamiltonESPN
Hearing #Oklahoma helped their chances greatly with #ESPN300 DE & #Gigem commit Mark Jackson this weekend. Nice A&M, OU & UT battle here
NIIICE
I like everything we are doing but Jackson is my pet cat in this class. I’m more worried about whorns than aggy.

Seems to me Coach Riley takes these big guys like this and makes them into national stars. He did it a couple of times at ECU. We have several of these big guys. I would like history to repeat itself here.
I like getting more in-roads with that Southlake program.
Always good!
Yes.
I’m glad we got Farrar. I think he’s going to be a really special player.
Agreed! Looks the part already
I like his size for a WR
I like his size for a WR
Excellent!
Anyone else find it interesting that with Farrar’s commitment tonight that brings OU’s commitments from Texas players to a whopping 3. And Parrish Cobb might end up at Baylor. Not complaining, just making an interesting observation.
For what its worth, I think Cobb sticks with the good guys. He is a Sooner!!!!
If his parents read the big writeup in ESPN this morning, they might close the door on his Baylor thoughts for him.
What are the odds Baylor will explain it away to their recruits until after signing day? Then later, they are sanctioned against bowl games.
I don’t know if the NCAA will be involved, but it really doesn’t look good for the university or Brile’s administration. I really don’t know if he can survive a thing like this at a private church school where the donors are supposed to be people of high morals.
“supposed to be people of high morals”.
Briles will be fine if he wins. Baylor is far from being BYU.
Do not kid yourself!!! The Baptists are not happy!!!!
Baptist are far more strict, in my opinion.
They have a very broad tent down there. Some graduates on one end of the spectrum say win at all cost, others at the other end wonder why they need such an inordinate interest in sports program.
Very true
“All students attending BYU, Mormon or not, are required to sign and live
by the BYU “Honor Code,” which mandates that students live in
BYU-approved housing and live by LDS standards — abstaining from
alcohol, coffee, tobacco, narcotics, pre-marital sex, homosexual
relations, and much more.
Should Mormon students discover themselves in such situations, they face
expulsion, termination of university employment, and eviction from BYU
housing. In addition, their transcripts are often placed “on hold,”
preventing them from transferring to a new university.”
And then, of course, if you are Mormon you got that 2 year or whatever missionary thing.
Jim McMahon violated their conduct code often.
LOL. I’d bet the farm on that!
He bragged about it. He said they were crazy if they thought he wasn’t going to drink or engage in premarital sex.
Good times, man. Good times!
Old joke i read years ago: Catholics don’t recognize Jews as the chosen people. Jews don’t recognize the pope as the religious/spiritual leader of the world. Baptists pretend not to recognize each other in the titty bar or liquor store.
I had prostate cancer 2 years ago, my Urologist and his partner in the practice are both Baylor Med School grads, neither are very happy with the situation. Both are big donors.
Pride can make anybody lose sight of what really matters. Hopefully Baylor will remember that pleasing God, rather than their flash-in-the-pan football program, is the highest priority.
Boynkin survived at TCU.
The fact that Ken Starr is the school president and they weren’t adequately investigating these rape allegations is outrageous. Starr was the lead prosecutor in the who Bill Clinton/Lewinski scandal. Way to protect the victims Baylor.
70 million in taxpayer money to basically come up with an affair. My money. Ken Starr should be paying me.
I agree!!! I saw the program, what a shame!!!!
It is an odd class for us. Only one okie too. Next years fab 5 look more like what we are used to.
DE/LB Jon M. Terry and OL Roberson are both Okies. Just sayin’. But, yeah, we usually have more Okies also. Crazy!
Tramanda Moore?
Not committed yet and is supposed to be a Okie State lean now. Beyond that he has had some qualifying issues. Swenson may have taken his spot.
Oh, No. That’s a real disappointment. He’s totally awesome. Thanks for the info.
My bad! Roberson escaped me there for some reason.
As long as they are Sooners at heart and in action… play with fire and passion for the Crimson and Cream….the rest is just noise…
sadly interesting
Hey Ed! Can’t wait for the Ohio State game. Randy and Ed are already hitting me up.
In regards to your post, it could be an anomaly. Our 2017 class which looks pretty stout so far is made up of mostly Texas players. I hope it is anyway, because Texas players have always been the lifeblood of our program.
Have been speaking with Randy tonight and he has been filling me in. Buckeye game is going to be off the hook. Have everything all set up. Tickets reserved, plane tickets and hotel reservations made and paid for.
Maybe TFB can host a Poster’s Tailgate. LOL
When evaluating needs, you can’t restrict yourself to one state or region. As long as we get what we need, it’s all good.
being barely a footnote in tx is not good
We have a new chapter started there for next season.
UT has competition, too, with all the rising schools now.
only concerned with the quality ou can pull out of there and the difficulty in doing so for several yrs
It’s irrelevant.
Agree Sooner Ray. Also, Cobb is our highest rated TX recruit and he is like 10th overall in our class. Cali boys make up two of the top 3 BTW.
Sorry Ed but you’re wrong. Cobb is in the top 3 in our class and I think that we lose him.
You could very well be right but I’m not giving up just yet. Crazy things happen.
Im not either but he seems to be “trending” to Baylor. Id have felt a lot better if he hadnt visited that dopey school this weekend. Hes definitely a difference maker.
Part of me wants to believe it makes a difference in the RRR/RRS game.
Sinning makes the difference in the RRR game.
I wish lol. If it did, I’d hit vegas each weekend before the game for the rest of my life.
I don’t think Cobb took an OV to Baylor this weekend. It didn’t sound like he was going. TFB posted that on Thursday. I haven’t heard anything. So I don’t think he went. Plus with the OTL story today, Briles isn’t looking good.
I think he did
https://twitter.com/Eddie_Rado/status/693984381677887489
Dang! Well, we’ll see how it plays out. I hope he stays committed.
He’s from there so I doubt anything eye-opening happened in Baylors favor, maybe the opposite
Fingers crossed. Have you had the chance to look at Jordan Parker’s Hudl film? That kid is going to be a lock down corner.
He did go, but I think he just tagged along with a teammate or friend, he is gonna stay committed.
There have been a lot of fishy things going on in Waco. I still think they’ve been paying players. That’s my opinion but I know I’m not alone
Sorry but wtf are you saying
Most years about half of OU’s commitments come from Texas kids and so far it’s only 3. Kinda strange is all.
Sorry Ed jackass response…appoligies . ..
We don’t recruit in Texas or Oklahoma as a priority. OU is like USC, Bama etc…kids want to come to OU from Maine to Tempe.
We don’t recruit in Texas or Oklahoma as a priority. OU is like USC, Bama etc…kids want to come to OU from Maine to Tempe.
Cobb is still a Sooner at this time. Baylor is a bad place according to breaking news. I really believe he stays with us. You’re right about the shockingly low number of Texas recruits committed.
Boom!
Check out the BOOM Board from this weekend!

Wow, that Kelly announcement will be late, if its 730 pt that would be 930 ct.
yep- he’s had that time pegged for some time now- my thoughts are that he’s giving someone time to get there after they get off from work that day (it’s 7:30 CDT)
^ edited
Makes sense, it’s a big deal and the kids should have the people in their lives that have meant something to them there with them.
7:30 CDT
All in all a good weekend for recruiting.
KJ, good evening.
Okay, time to pump you for more information: what recruiting information can you share?
Hey Sam…dont have a whole lot really. I heard Tupai had a good visit. Hung out with Samia all weekend. It will be tough to pull him away from Utah. But you never know.
why did hearne leave
He didnt leave by choice technically. Kid just wasnt as focused as he should of been. Its been like that for awhile now. Hope he gets his priorities in order so he can get a second chance somewhere.
thxs
I never had a doubt. 🙂
Looks like the guys in Stillwater at JumpBall U, should offer Farrar’s high school QB.

It’s not by accident their QB is named after the most famous of reindeer. Lol.
He’s a 3 Star like Charles Walker was a 3 Star. We can always use those guys.

I understand both Southall and Jackson are OU leans? Sooner fans really likes them both very much.
Is it true that Coach Sumlin wants to coach in the NFL? If it is true, and with Coach Strong and his UT program trending down, its hard to see why there is a battle, unless geography is the deciding factor.

Thanks Velus for moving on so OU could Farrar. I think Farrar will have a freshman year similar to Kenny Stills freshman season.
