– Isaiah Thomas: This past weekend, 2017 OLB Isaiah Thomas (Tulsa, OK) made his way down to Tuscaloosa to visit the Crimson Tide. While on his visit, Thomas met with Nick Saban who officially extended the OK Preps standout a scholarship offer. “Honestly, I was kind of star struck when I met him,” Thomas remarked of meeting Saban.
Thomas was given a full tour of campus and the facilities and came away impressed. “It was beautiful. The campus is wide open and very pretty. And their facilities, I’d have to say are the best I’ve seen.”
Thomas had previously visited OU, Ok State & Missouri, and prior to this most recent trip it appeared as though both in-state schools were his likely leaders. However, according to Thomas this Alabama trip “moved the meter” and now it sounds as though the Tide have also entered the mix.
Thomas told TFB he would like to make his way down to Texas to visit schools like Baylor, TCU and Texas A&M, who are all also recruiting him. In fact he plans on getting those trips out of the way in the very near future, with a tentative plan to announce a commitment sometime in early June.
Where does OU stand with Thomas? I (Super K) still like the Sooners here. The Alabama trip definitely stiffened the competition, but his mother wasn’t able to take the trip with him and she is very high on Oklahoma. If we assume that Bama and OU are neck-and-neck, then you have to give the home team an advantage due to proximity.
Alabama does have Joshua Jacobs (the 2016 Tulsa RB that signed with Bama) working on Thomas for the Tide, but the Sooners have guys like Levi Draper and Tre Brown doing the same. Ok State is still in the mix as well, but until he makes a return trip to Stillwater I’m giving OU the nod for now. – (Super K)
– Ceedee Lamb, Wide Receiver Recruiting: As you surely know by now, 2017 WR Ceedee Lamb (Richmond, TX) decommitted from the Sooners last week. With Lamb being a NOLA native and growing up an LSU fan, once he received an offer from the Tigers this seemed like an inevitability.
I am told, however, the OU staff will continue to recruit Lamb and it sounds like there are no hard feelings on either side of things. The Sooners are going to give Lamb the freedom to look around and if he’d like to come back into the fold, presumably there will be a spot for him.
Other WR targets…
Omar Manning: Oklahoma has continued to recruit Manning (Lancaster, TX) throughout, and I’d expect them to push for a return visit from him. OU’s stiffest competition with Manning will likely be TCU.
Jhamon Ausbon: The former Baylor commit planned on visiting OU a few weeks back while he was home in Houston for spring break, however some rough weather disrupted those plans. So we’ll have to see if he eventually makes it up to Norman at some point this summer.
Nick Robinson: The OK Preps athlete is another big wide out that has blown up on the recruiting trail. Robinson has also made multiple trips to Norman. – (Brandon)
– Greg Rogers: It would appear Calvin Thibodeaux will be visiting Sooners DT target Greg Rogers (Las Vegas, NV).

Give me Rogers this instant ?! We really need Cooks so tag along every visit to big time targets. I would really like to see Trey Sermon start recruiting his azz off like Bandy and the others have been doing. I’m still pumped we landed him.
nothing new on the M. Wilson front? Rivals has an article titled “Sooners set to host Nation’s #1” with a picture of Wilson. I was wondering if you guys had heard anything.
Only that K has been telling everyone here for weeks now that he was going to visit OU soon 🙂
yep. In my comment about this on the daily news section, I was wondering if something new and official had come out or if Rivals was really just a month behind you guys 🙂
I will go with a month behind for 500 Alex.
Greg Rogers hudl,o my get that kid,Calvin.

Well we all know that CALVIN got a job at OU.
It was probably hard to leave wackarnolds tho!
Yeah Kansas football program sucks. But we know who really sucks TEXSA sucks.
His first step is crazy quick and his power/upper body strength is fantastic for his age. I watched a 30 second clip of him at a camp and the song he chose is an absolute banger (rap song) that fits his aggressive style of play! I really miss seeing those kinds of kids on campus.
His anticipation of the snap is what is so crazy to me. It looked like he was able to time it perfectly in most of the highlight film I watched.
Wouldnt robinson fulfill the same role as calcaterra, since hes listed as a TE?
Of the bigger receiving targets, manning seems like the better fit.
Looks like Gillon chose Syracuse over Sooners and A&M

1 DL signed last class and apparently no sense of urgency to sign lots of DL this class by our staff. Wth is going on? 0 DL commits.
the brainiacs said in a post last week that the focus is now currently on D-line. Locked up WR’s and DB’s and can now focus on front seven players. They’ll come just give them time. Good D-linemen are much more rare than good DBs and WO’s so those kids probably wait longer to feel out recruiting before they make a decision. Maybe I’m wrong though.
Unfortunately we are also dealing with being on our third DL coach in the space of a year and some change. We probably started recruiting some of these guys under Monty, then Diron, and now Thibodeaux. A lot of recruiting these days is about building relationships. That’s hard to do when your personnel keep changing. If Thibodeaux can pull in a decent haul this class, it will be a good indicator that he’s going to be a pretty decent recruiter.
for sure
It also allows for negative recruiting to create doubt of who the player will be working. It will work out, but we need to stabilize that area of coaching. It isn’t like MS has been running the same defense for 10 years and coaches can be considered interchangeable
I worry about this.
Some can use it, but position coaches turn over regularly enough that some schools will be in similar situations.

We have 9 months, we should be fine. If it’s the same in January, that is the time to panic.

We have a new coach that hasn’t had a full recruiting cycle who’s taking over for a DL coach that didn’t recruit anybody?
247Sports is reporting OU offered 25 DE’s and 8 DT’s, They say we are warm or warmer on three 4* DE’s and 1 DT. Also on one 3* DE and one 3* DT.
Yep. I think DE is our most pressing need on the Dline right now, honestly.

it sounds like everyone OU put in the draft on defense this year fits better in a 4-3…Hopefully the next wave is a better fit for a 3-4. Considering OU loses players with great instincts and play recognition, I’m hoping that some of that can be made up for by just having players that are better fits within the scheme. Bond, Striker, Dom all will fit better in a 4-3. Tapper fits better at 4-3 strongside end too. It sounds like the next wave of linemen are better for a 3-4 but I’m not sure about the linebackers…
Personally I’d rather see us go back to a 4-3.
With increased size at the LB position the 3-4 might be a little better against the run this year. Although it would have been nice to use the 4-3 against Texas and Clemson.
Agreed. I think a 4-3 would’ve changed the dynamics of the Texas and Clemson game dramatically. Our DL aren’t really big enough to run a proper 3-4 to be honest.
By the end of the year it really seemed like teams were afraid to throw against us. They would try to use ball control to keep our offense from getting hot.
Our secondary was stout but they didn’t have the meat up front or at the LB position to be as good as they can be IMO. Teams just started running on our small front 7 and avoided throwing into our secondary.
We’ve got some young talent there though. I did like the way we had a deep rotation. Charles Walker was coming in fresh off the bench and causing a lot of havoc.
True. I’m not sure why Walker would ever be “coming off the bench” though. He’s light years better than everybody else on that 1st team DL.
I’m not sure either. I do think it might have boosted his production if only slightly. I suppose he would have gotten more reps starting though.
Consistency and trust play a big role with any player. Some earn it while others show flashes. Walker has shown flashes so hope he puts it all together for his last year at OU.
Why throw when you can run… 1 good thing and two bad things can happen when you throw!
I don’t even think they were really beating us too bad with the run either, but with the smaller linebackers they would get hit early and fall forward for 3-5 yards. Hopefully 2-3 inches and 30-40 lbs. makes a big difference without hurting us against the spread.
To be fair, our DL weren’t good enough to require double teams leaving opposing OGs easy access to the 2nd level to eat up our undersized backers. That happened all day against Texas.

When you prepare all year and recruit players to defend the spread offense it’s hard to transition mentally to stop a team that that is bigger and stronger and decides to run the ball down your throat.. That first possession of the second half showed every bit of that imo.. I’m excited for our future though just need those big nasties
Sure, I don’t think the coaches failed to make a switch in the bowl game, it was a little late at that point. I do think that it is possibly a blueprint teams will use in the future, and it would be a mistake not to prepare for it.
I’ve never been sold on the concept that you have to have smaller, faster players to defend the spread. It’s not like we haven’t had our offense shut down repeatedly by bigger, stronger defenses built to stop running attacks.
Agreed, it wasn’t so much a defensive scheme problem as it was a personnel mismatch.
Agreed, it wasn’t so much a defensive scheme problem as it was a personnel mismatch.
That’s what I think. Bigger but mobile LBs, which OU has landed last couple of years, will help with that.
Yes, because running teams never fumble the football or get stoned for no gain or a loss.
Almost any coach, including Stoops, would prefer to be dominant running the ball rather than try to be dominant throwing the ball. The problem is getting the personnel that makes it possible to run the ball on everyone isn’t easy.
Not everyone can line up the 5-star players like Bama has the last 10 years, or like OU could in the 70s.
LSU tries to do that, but, while having the athletes, they don’t have an adequate HC.
With increased size at the LB position the 3-4 might be a little better against the run this year. Although it would have been nice to use the 4-3 against Texas and Clemson.
I think they like the 3-4 for the same reason NFL teams like it against passing teams. It’s easier to change the personnel behind your linemen and move to a 3-3-5 or Dime package. That’s what NFL teams say anyway. I think the scheme works, they just have to stay healthy and get the right personnel in there. Plus OU is running a 4-3 nickel on 2nd and 3rd downs anyway a lot of the time.
towards the end of the year they ran the package with Tapper/Ward, Romar, Walker and Striker a lot on 2nd and 3rd downs.
That seems to be the stated case. Not sure why it’s any easier to move to a nickel or dime package from a 3-4 than it would be from a 4-3/4-2-5 which is what most of the top defensive teams in college football run these days.
my only guess is that its easier to have the line keep the same alignment and just drop out linebackers for defensive backs behind them
Bama runs a 3-4. I’m not sure what all of the other top defenses other than Clemson run. I believe Florida State runs something close to the 3-3-5 or the 4-2-5 that uses the jack linebacker
Bama runs a 4-3 defense.
Running a 3-4 hinders your recruiting ability when it comes to Dlineman.
Unless your last name is Montgomery…
Unless your last name is Montgomery…
Even so, I don’t know why we run a 3-4 defense against spread teams. The 3-4 is designed to stop pro-style offenses and is considered bad against spread offenses. That’s why Bama and the Patriots both dispatched their base 3-4 defenses, and transitioned to 4-3 defenses, yet here we are going against the grain.
I’m with you, I would much prefer the 4-3. Been saying that ever since we switched.
Yup. A 4-3 or moreso a 4-2-5 would be ideal. Those are better defenses than the 3-4 odd front.
Yea I prefer to have some bigger bodies out there, I think it would have helped a great deal against Clemson and Texas. Of course, they don’t really care what I prefer. LOL
We aren’t paid the big bucks to make the decisions. LOL!!
Hard to prepare for Clemson’s QB. He’s the best in college hands down. He can run or throw. Either defense we use he has an answer. Also, it didn’t hurt that DeShaun had a great D.
DC, spread & Pro style mimic each other. Difference is where they put the Y or X player. Pros line them up mostly on the line whereas colleges line them up in the slot. same route tree and plays. Pros don’t use hurry up like colleges. The key is both look for match up advantages. Good QBs find them.
I see pros using hurry up all the time my man. The Patriots and the Packers absolutely do.
Agree, certain pro teams do this all of the time. However more colleges utilize the hurry up consistently which is what I meant. Pats, & Green Bay come to mind. Philly as well but it’s a lot of wear and tear on NFL guys.
True
It is. Lane Johnson said the Eagles O line was wrecked from running up the hurry up.
This is from 2014…Bama 3-4 with a LB showing blitz…OU is doing fine with the scheme…it’s getting players equal or better than your opponents that win games.
unless something changed in the last couple years they run a 3-4. The Stoops brothers met with Saban about how to run it before they installed it in 2013.
They did change it in the last two seasons and they now run a 4-3 one gap front. I think they made the transition back in 2014. They’re multiple but that’s their base defense now. They still line up in a 3-4 against pro style offenses like LSU and Arky.
ah gotcha.
I don’t think the base is of any consequence these days. Bama plays the defense that will neutralize the strengths of an offense. Against teams that show 3 wide outs they run 3-3-5, against LSU 3-4 4-3 looks…this is what we are doing. Recruit the best players and plug them in…but the inside guys cannot be 280 like Dimon.
tOSU,mich, mich st all run the 4-3 I believe but they don’t face spread offenses like OU does.
tOSU IS a spread offense.
Smashmouth spread. Not the same thing as the 7 on 7 style spreads teams in the big 12 run. tOSU spreads you out to run power and counter on you.
True but it’s a spread. I’d like to see our running game mimmick theirs more closely.
I agree. Its a great scheme and very physical. I’m just saying that teams in the big 10 aren’t facing the style of offenses the big 12 teams face. The only team in the big 12 that runs something close to a power spread is Baylor and now Texas.
I want to agree with you, but OU WAS one of the top defenses last year.
————
I think Isaiah needs to have a chat with Mykel Jones before he gets too star struck about meeting Saban and getting an offer.
Like Switzer used to say, you recruit the Mamas. And Isaiah’s mama is probably going to push for him to stay close and go to Norman. Hate losing in-state offers out-of-state, esp to Lil Nicky.
Saban needs to fire himself he breaks more rules and pawns it off to his assistants kind of like New England and the Patriots.

Have any of you heard the Simon and Garfunkel “Sound of Silence” remake by Disturbed??? WOW!
I actually think it fits the lyrics a lot better than the original. I’m not a fan of disturbed but that song is haunting.
Agreed. It is, plainly put, fantastic!
Not a huge Disturbed fan but his cover “Sound of Silence” is pretty amazing. David Draiman is a true artist.
It’s a great version and definitely fits the lyrics better. It took me awhile to figure out that it was actually disturbed.
https://youtu.be/Bk7RVw3I8eg
https://youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4
Some songs should never be remade. I felt the same way when Lean on Me was remade. Just can’t touch the originals.
Couldn’t disagree more, personally. Covers of Simon and Garfunkel that don’t use the harmonies are automatic downgrades.
Totally agree. I think most of the people that like this never listened to the original. Kind of like, the first version you hear usually is always your favorite.

Did cars on wentz really just take a shot at Sammy B?? Bro you didnt even play in D1
Bradford has a great year.. Plenty of teams will need him.
If he sits out, Philly forced to play Wentz/Daniel that’s a wasted season.
A great season fixes everything for Bradford, suddenly everyone will be on his bandwagon. If he can just get some protection and stay healthy…
I agree,
The philly oline should be better adding those guards
But he has no help at WR.. Philly led the league in drops or at least top 5 (Jordan Matthews). RB is a mess.. RM isn’t a 3down back and he cant stay healthy. DS is 32? Smallwood isn’t a 3 down back either..yikes
They didn’t help him drafting Wentz..
I hope he’s traded. I’ll always root for Sammy, but I really don’t care for the Philly fandom.
They are the worst.
I didn’t see anything on Wentz’s twitter feed.
Sammy B needs to get to work. He’s been paid a LOT for playing only a little football. Improving his performance will take care of everything.

http://www.draftsite.com/nfl/mock-draft/2017/ 2017 mock draft: Baker, Samaje and Ahmad Thomas all in round 2. Also, Trevor Knight in round 2
It says tech as the college for Knight haha and Ahmad Thomas is a little surprising maybe I don’t give him enough credit lol
Whoever made that mock draft is clueless. As it stands right now Charles Walker would be the first to go and and Orlando Brown next ( if they both decide to leave ). Depending what Steven Parker does he would be higher as well. Ahmad Thomas wont be a 2nd round pick.
No kidding.. Chiefs will be picking at 32 🙂
Chiefs!
Yep. Several said Tony Jefferson was at least a round 2 guy (said this during his junior year)
2017 class looks legit.. a lot of good players
Way too early for this.
Zero chance of Baker, Thomas, or TK going in the 2nd round.
I can see Baker going that high if he has a Heisman type year. He’s one of those guys that’s hard to figure out. His measurables aren’t that great but he is just one of those guys that has ‘it.’ A lot will depend on what other QB’s are available.
As for TK I would say it more likely he doesn’t get drafted than he goes in the 2nd round. Other than when “we beat Alabama” he hasn’t been that great a QB. Good? Yes. 2nd rd draft pick good. No.
Agree Bob. TK – inconsistent, far and few between really notable performances. Baker – as you say – his intangibles/leadership could make the difference, depending on how his peer group performs.
I agree with you about Baker- big year and he gets drafted. Drew Brees and Wilson in Seattle kind of shoot a hole in the idea that short QBs can’t succeed in the NFL. TK…. His inconsistency will leave him with many doubters.
I think Baker will more likely get a shot in rounds 3-6 with a good season. I think even Baker knows this, therefore, if he was granted another year of eligibility he would return to OUr/his beloved Sooners for another year.
I love TK but he will be late rounds 5 or 6 or not drafted at all. Inaccuracy and telegraphing passes are not things that translate to the NFL level. He would be destroyed both mentally and physically at in the NFL. The good news is he seems intelligent and really well liked so he will have a lot of options outside of football.
Agreed, maybe Jordan Thomas but not Ahmad.
I would be shocked if Samaje goes later than anywhere late in the 1st round.
Charles Tapper the best value pick in the draft? Scroll down to 6:

Super K. Where does OU see Isaiah Thomas playing, same for Bama ? Where do you think he is best at ?
the brainiacs have said the Sooners see him at OLB unless he puts on too much weight and then will shift to DE
I thought I read that. I assume Bama has the same thinking.
Bama will be hard to beat for this guys signature….similar to the Lamb / LSU relationship , don’t you think ?
Bama is hard to beat for any signature, but it doesnt seem similar to Lamb/LSU at all.
I don’t think it will be that hard but this kid doesn’t seem set on OU so maybe he’s got his mind on getting the hell out of Oklahoma.
We’ve already beaten Bama for 5 out of 12 of our 2017 recruits so far, so no, I “don’t think”.
Bama is the dominant program at this time, so yes it will be hard. But playing time, living closer to home will favor the good guys. What I don’t like is that we have kids coming and seeing construction while Bama has what he described as the “best facilities.” Can’t help OU’s chances. 4 time National champ in what 7 years and the best facilities? But they lost Smart.
Heard something today from the cowboys staff saying that Tapper is projected to possibly start for the Cowboys at RE because of suspensions and what not. Pretty cool.
I kind of thought Tap would be drafted higher not many 270lb 4.6 guys even in the NFL.
Yeah he had a great combine. Which means to scouts his tape didn’t warrant him going alot higher. But he’s in now, I’m sure he will be just fine, he seems like he will really take advantage of the opportunity.
His sickle cell trait is what scared most teams away.

Hey guys—thought I’d drop in from the other side. Wanted to get some knowledgeable thoughts on Tapper after the Cowboys drafted him. It seems he’s raw but has a lot of potential…high SPARQ…but it always seemed like Striker got all the pub. I hear Tapper may blossom more as a pass rusher in a 4-3. Yall’s thoughts?

Tapper is a basketball player who only started playing football his JR year in highschool when his coach told him his future wasn’t in basketball.
He’s got all the upside in the world. His production fell off when he was moved inside as he’s a true 4-3 DE. He’s raw and needs to master some technique but I think NFL coaches can get him where he needs to be in that department and they’ll keep him at his natural position.
We saw him repeatedly run down running QB’s, WRs, and RBs in the flat and from behind. It’s there.
….was a basketball player..lol
Any DL that can chase down Amari Cooper has a chance to give NFL offensive tackles all they can handle. If marinelli is still coaching the Cowboys defensive line, I’d expect Tapper to do big things with Dallas.
He chased down Boykin from behind in the flat as well. LOL!!
I had forgotten that one. Tap has some wheels!
Did the same to Clint Chelf in Stillwater.
Now that sack is one of those ones I’ll never forget; just epic. I bet he could’ve run down chelf running backwards though haha.
True but Chelf should be able to outrun most DEs in the flat.
For sure. Most defensive ends as long as they don’t run a sub-4.6 forty!
Bingo!
as well as the Baylor running back about 20 yards down field, last year.
Having witnessed him chasing down speedy receivers several times in his time at OU I/we shouldn’t have been surprised by his 4.6 combine time yet I was. He can flat out move for a big boy.
Absolutely. That’s why I’m sure he can do big things spread out one on one with a tackle rather than having to muscle through a guard and tackle combo (which he still did a pretty decent job of this past season).
I think OU used Tapper all over the place which didn’t help him develop into a pure pass rusher, but he’s got all the physical tools to be a good one. Marinelli will bring out the best in him.
yeah, Mike wants the defense to be multiple. I’m curious to see how the line does in their second year of these alignments next year.
His ceiling is pretty high. He will be better suited for a 4-3 in my opinion. They will be able to turn him into a good DE with a little coaching.
I agree that a 4-3 system will do him good. I would think he could lose 10 pounds and have even more speed off the edge in a 4-3 system.
I don’t think he is “raw.” He was asked to play DE in a 3-4 next to an under-sized nose. With Striker and Bond on the true outside, he played “half-tackle, half-end.” In a true 4-3 playing end he is strong enough to anchor against the run and both quick enough and fast enough to rush the passer.
How he does with the Cowboys depends on coaching and scheme. Hopefully, the current Cowboy miscreant DEs won’t “infect” him with their problems.
His production fell because OUs move to a 3-4. Could be a solid 6-7 year starter
gonna be a beast strongside end in a 43
I think he’ll need to develop more physically and work on strength but the groundwork is there for him to be a pretty decent pass rusher.
A 4-3 will fit tapper better than a 3-4. He needs to play closer to 260 than 280. I don’t think his timing is great like a Jared Allen type pass rusher but he stays in position and doesn’t quit on plays.

He kinda reminds me of Greg Ellis.. only been playing football for about 6yrs. Plenty of room to get better..

If it wasn’t for the dragons I would be all over that! Talking about my wife and daughter, of course, LOL!

You were warned.
Just awful…
The second girl that was solo holding the plaque wasn’t too bad, she was actually on pitch and it sounded as if she may had been a lil hoarse also. She was also very pretty as was the majority of the womens team!
nhl…….man, whatta game……pens survive furious caps/ovechkin rally, 3/2 for a 2/1 series lead……another great game for pen’s young goalie
do.not.like.pens
There is a nameless idiot who is already spouting his mouth about Striker’s best options. STFU!!!!!
Jesse Tuggle was an undersized LB who played at a college in South Georgia, Valdosta State, that received less recognition than both high schools in the area: Valdosta High School and Lowndes County High School. Valdosta High is one of the winningest and most lauded high schools in the U.S. They have 24 state championships and 6 national championships.
Look up Jesse Tuggle’s NFL stats and tell me if he let his size get in the way. I hate it when folks tell people what they can’t do. You don’t know jack, if you think you do.
