Open Post | Wednesday, Jun. 17th (UPDATE 4:53 pm)
Posted on: June 17, 2015
– Levi Draper: Admittedly it feels somewhat silly to be creating an entire Open Post for a single 2017 offer, but given the life of its own things kind of took on amongst OU fans it almost felt necessary to do so.
It would appear Sooner Nation can now take a collective sigh of relief.
Blessed to have received an offer from Oklahoma! #boomer #sooner 🔴⚪️ pic.twitter.com/Ixk9GPPWDA

Good news and Good afternoon to all
Countdown Photo?
YEAH!
What you said.
In the off season you look forward to all you can get.
done
So how brutal was the jh interview? I missed it
pretty brutal, IMO
Slow motion train wreck where a teenager had to take control…
link?
JH interview??
James hale interviewed draper and I think was the start of the chaos earlier today.
I know a lot of people around here don’t like James, but I do appreciate the fact that he gets guys to come on his program and let’s us hear things straight from their mouths. He also had the NEO coach on his program today to talk about Chandler and Roberts. I, for one, learn things I never would have known otherwise.
Thanks. Though JH might have been Josh Heupel.
Why has he not committed yet, what’s he waiting on? LOL!
well played
Odds on favorite for the “post of the day” award.
He hasn’t committed yet because we took too long to offer him. (sarcasm intended)
I’m worried!
I think it’s safe to say one was coming but, hopefully it was our of the respect that they truly did evaluate him and are building a relationship vs. they just doing it cause everyone else was. Either way I am glad we offered and I think the kid will be a stud he is a stud, But, I’ll say it again if he wants to be a Sooner he will be if not he won’t, mean look at me all be obvious about it lol!
Great! Now all we have to do is get Monty back to seal the deal.
I feel good on our chances with young Levi. We have a stable of backers this year and a need for more depth next year.
A sight of relief? Seems like the battle has just begun from what I read about the soured relationship the other day on here. I’ll breath a sigh of relief when he signs. LOL
Glad to see it happen reguardless of the timing.
Now that the Draper drama has ended, let the Caleb Kelly to Michigan rumors freak out begin.
Kelly to Michigan WHATTTTTT!!! LOL well played, don’t care really I think OU is very much in good graces with him!
I do too, but with a dead period coming up and fall camp still a bit off, there has to be a freak out of some kind.
PLEASE. . . don’t take away something for me to worry about. Please, I need drama. Pls, pls, pls let it be true Caleb Kelly is flirting with Mich. You can’t take all the things for OU fans to worry about in one day b/f replacing them w/some other drama first!!!!
For those that want to see what all the fuss is about

Is it September 1st?
I’d even go for late August at least then I can do Fantasy drafts watch some Pre-Season, know more or less who the Sooners starting lineup will be you know stuff like that!
BOOM!!!! Maurice Chandler per his twitter.
Who dat?
Juco corner from neo..
He has posted it a few times. Nice!!
Chandler said, “Boom!” on his twitter or said that he committed to OU?
Committed to OU per his twitter.
Outstanding! Thanks!!!
Update!
Tell Denzel to get off his break and give us that boom already!
Denzel is Booming on the Maurice Chandler thread.
I think Draper’s attitude about the offer not being official lit a fire under some coaches’ rear end. Glad it happened though. Great kid.
About time!!!

HOLLA!
Now…lets get some LBs in the mix please.
Looks like Stoner to the Pukes
I don’t think the Sooners where ever really into Stoner much anyways. Think they had more highly regarded targets ahead of him and think that’s been clear from the offset.
It’s his name, of course! Dillon sounds too much like a Marshall.
I’m sure you are thrilled with that information.
Who are you again?
Your pwnage is formally acknowledged.
Good deal. Glad the drama is over for all of us who were overwrought with concern and fretting the intelligence of our recruiters the past few weeks! Young man looks like a future star. Now, if it’s truly meant to be, hope he will be a Sooner someday.
No now means until he commits we will hear all about the back and forth, will he won’t he why won’t he. Yawn anyways how much longer until the season kicks off?
Too dang long.
So is quillen(so?) the next okpreps we need to be demanding OU offer?
Quillen is listed as a “16 prospect and believe he is currently committed to Vandy for what it’s worth!
Great.

Told u cry babies that Draper will get an offer. Didn’t see what all the fuss was about. The guy is a freaking 2017 recruit. Yes 2017, that 2 yrs away smh.
LOL
G-Day minus 80
Stephen Alexander

There were some bright spots in those dark days.
Yes sir, I think that Bob proved that we had the talent here, by winning it all in his second season.
Thanks for posting. Some people look forward to “The Countdown”.
You are very welcome. I enjoy doing it.
I enjoy your countdown. Still, Ricky Bryan and Dan Cody kind of send #80 greetings.
Yes! Especially if you could find a pic of Dan Cody falling out after giving that pep talk on the sidelines…that would be the BEST!
Yessir and Victor Hicks.
For your viewing pleasures

Sorry, I love Stephen Alexander, but I have to disagree with the selection today. There are still Texas quarterbacks from the mid-80s who pee the bed at night having nightmares about Troy Johnson closing on them with that great speed he had.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=17&v=mkvll_xaa8Q
Another great selection. I will add him to my list of favorite #80’s
I was a Sooner a fan from about ’75 on… but was only 3 in ’75. When I really grew into my Sooner fandom started in 82; I turned 10 and began to better understand the game and learned to follow the players and see who the game changers were.
How lucky for me to come to know football, and as an OU fan, when we were fielding a front 7 that included Tony Casillas, Ricky and Scott Bryan, Darryl Reed, Kevin Murphy and Troy Johnson. Linebackers Bozworth, Paul Miggliazo, Jackie Shipp, Thomas Benson and Dante Jones.
I have no doubt that you could line those guys up against just about any offense in today’s college game and they would dominate despite the evolution in athletic training, etc. in modern college football. Those guys were tough, strong and FAST.
I love, love, love the defense of 2000-2005 era of OU football… but they are at best a close 2nd to what we ran out there in the mid-80s.
Speaking of Levis Why isnt OU going after this kid???
Levi Onwuzurike from Allen Tx.

Someone notify the coaches stat!
Whats the story with Ty Darlington? Should we expect him to
get owned by the Malcolm Brown’s of the big 12 again or might he be able to
hold his own this year? Is he maybe even a legit all-conference candidate?
Haha wait, what???? OU was pretty good at OL last year with Darlington, I don’t see this year being much different than last even with new guys on the line.
if anyone had trouble blocking malcom brown they have no business playing football on any level, including junior high. worst decision in nfl history to draft that guy in the 1st round.
I may have my crimson shades but c’mon now…. 40 tackles, 7 sacks- probably one of the best Tackles in CFB last year. J.Philips by comparison 20/2 and missed 1st round by a whisker. Just trying to be real here.
Just because he was a Longhorn I see why he gets some hate, but, if he was a Sooner we would love the guy, he may have been by some a bust but, he was solid last year for sure.
He had 13 TFL as a DT, phillips had 7. Sounds like the NFL scouts have a bit better idea of football than us fans do.
I am assuming this is sarcasm which everyone missed?
The /s tag is our friend.
Not everyone. You didn’t and I doubt some others did either. In a backdoor way trying to defend Darlington.
I got that. But probably too subtle for the original poster. Next time use a 2×4 with a couple of 10″ spikes in it. Nah, that is probably too subtle too.
i think nfl linemen are going to hv their hands full w/that dude. glad he’s gone. literally one guy that good might make the entire ut defense seem a lot more normal next yr
I would suggest meeting him face to face and asking him.
OK only one of the most solid Lineman we have had the last few years and I don’t think he had any issues blocking we had more issues last year than TU and OSU combined last year
He was playing last year at 286, now hes over 300 i believe. Should hold his own much better this year.
Well whaddaya know…. Time to spin the wheel and find a new reason to freak out haha.
Well he hasn’t given his verbal yet!!! Fire Kish and fire Levi’s dad as well!!!!

Love me some Liz Lemon. Automatic upvote from this guy
That would be a major coup if Parker B ended up at Georgia Southern. Just found that inclusion rather interesting is all.
Their program is definitely on the rise. I think they’ll beat WVU this season. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started reeling in some really good recruits.
That’s all well and good, just not Parker B. or any player OU is after. LOL
It’s gonna happen. Probably not with Boudreaux. Maybe a “3-star” DT from Macon that OU offers in December. Gonna happen, though.
I’m not certain I could bear the disappointment if that big rascal doesn’t sign with OU.
Kendall is considered the center piece of our 2016 class, Boudreaux would be the table that center piece would be displayed on.
Aren’t they in Conf. USA? Didn’t they win it or am I hallucinating? Maybe it’s the Sunbelt I’m thinking of.
Yeah, what is up with Georgia Southern? My nephew picked them over Vandy last yr after OU never offered. I thought he was nuts, but maybe he knows something I don’t.
I like the way we’re positioned on the top five poster. P-Money, action shot, OU, right down the middle…….everything else is just decoration. :-0
Symmetry is beautiful.
I really like Parker Boudreaux. The fact that Georgia Southern is in his top 5 says a lot about this young man.
I REALLY want Parker Boudreaux. His name. His look. I LOVE everything about this dude. I think he will play on Sundays.
Silent commit, boys and girls. OU couldn’t keep the silent commit secret anymore by not offering him.
I trust this guy.
The Prototype OLB http://t.co/6Mbwqj7ev3
Love that kid’s film. He has a nose for the ball and he isn’t afraid of coming downhill and blowing up a play by stuffing the fullback. Hopefully with our frequent trips to Maryland someone will stop in to see him.
It would be nice, he has some good offers so looks like he is known somewhat.
He looks good but I dont think OU is even on his radar.
I don’t think so either, but this is the skill set we need on the outside.
Fwiw. Cameron Brown just “followed” MS and Kish.
In the picture of Parker it looks like he is pooping Florida.
