Isaiah Thomas: As TFB previously reported, 2017 DE/OLB Isaiah Thomas (Tulsa, OK) confirmed over the weekend plans to announce his commitment on Saturday, May 28th.

The schools that seem to be in play for Thomas include: OU, Ok State, Alabama, Baylor & Missouri; all schools he visited. And of those schools, Oklahoma is the only one in contention to receive more than one visit.

TFB likes where OU stands here heading into Saturday’s announcement. – (Super K)

Greg Rogers’ Cousin: This past Friday we introduced you to an unbelievable 2017 pass rusher out of Arizona in Jalen Harris. It turns out, Harris is related to 2017 DT and OU target Greg Rogers (Las Vegas, NV), whose respective mothers’ are also pretty good friends. – (Super K)

Russell Westbrook’s Brother: I’m sure many of you heard it announced during the Thunder game Sunday night that Russell Westbrook’s younger brother would be walking on as a fullback at OU.

TFB has since spoken with a source who let us know that report was not accurate. – (Super K)

Team & Recruit Note | Ahmad Thomas, Stephen Parker, Justin Broiles, etc.: Yesterday, TFB was in attendance for a training session with Dallas area DB coach Clay Mack and Oklahoma safeties Stephen Parker & Ahmad Thomas, as well as 2017 OU commit Justin Broiles.

We’ve included some video below from said training session that features the aforementioned trio as well as few other OK Preps players. – (Brandon)

        • ouwooferman says:

          Great despite work. Just finished this years remodeling project at the house….third and last bathroom WHEW> We have taken to raising Monarch Butterflies. In the last two months 31 have transformed…really cool.

          • Soonerfandave84 says:

            That’s cool.

          • ouwooferman says:

            Yeah, we are now into the second generation (may, June). Third generation is july Aug. The fourth generation comes in Sept Oct. and is the generation that migrates to Mexico from all over the US and parts of Canada. They live up to 8 mths. All other generations only live 2-6 weeks.

          • Soonerfandave84 says:

            I’ve seen the migration before. It’s pretty amazing to see

          • paganpink says:

            Driving on a dirt road somewhere between Mcalester and Durant in the 90’s we ran into a swarm so large that we had to stop and let them cross the road by the millions as they headed South. It was awe inspiring and so beautiful! The driver said he saw them every summer and acted nonchalant, LOL. I thought it was cool as heck!!

      Sooner!

      SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • BleedCrimson says:

      Sooner!!!

  • CW says:

    Love the videos guys and material!!

  • Jeff says:

    Bombers baby

  • Lincoln Hawk says:

    Thanks guys, love the videos. I like our chances with Thomas, he had the googly eyes in the tweet. Also, were the “masks” Parker and Thomas were wearing to help control breathing or something similar?

    • Dick Bump says:

      That’s their jocks after trying to tackle Samaje.

    • SoonerGoneEast says:

      Those are a resistance breathing training mask (or something close to that) used to aid in recovery time.

      • Lincoln Hawk says:

        Awesome, thanks for the info.

        • SoonerGoneEast says:

          I read up on it all a few years ago. The idea behind the mask was to limit oxygen intake to the same degree that one might experience at higher altitudes. There was information out there from various sources, most of which contradicted each other. Some of it talked of promoting quicker recovery times and some even talked about enhanced muscle building. I’m sure a lot has changed and someone here knows a lot more about it than I do.

          • hemisooner says:

            they are elevation masks. Never heard of it enhancing muscles but it does help with not getting as tired as you normally would. Helps condition the lungs

          • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

            It’s not for muscles. It’s for “elevated” training but Athletes use them a lot now (especially HUNH offenses). Lungs are easily trainable and with all the new technology it doesn’t shock me one bit that the number is increasing.

    • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

      They are absolutely training masks. I wear one when I do high intensity cardio (remember I was a PT for 5 years) and they help train the lungs to take in as much oxygen. My friend (who’s a smoker) used mine for 46 seconds on battle ropes before almost passing out. They are intense for anyone! I feel like BANE when I wear mine ?

  • Lane Gilstrap says:

    Are the Googly eyes an OU thing or are they nothing?

    • Soonerfandave84 says:

      Means to watch or look for in emoji

    • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

      The eyes are usually followed by a commitment within a week. Or something even larger will happen later down the road with recruiting. That’s been the trend so far, at least. We shall see if it continues.

  • Scott says:

    Will OU still take Gumbs and Harris if Isaiah Thomas commits?

  • Doobie74OU says:

    THANKS FOR THE INFO! HAVE A GREAT DAY SOONER FANS!

  • Jake says:

    My TFB Brethren, I miss the daily dialogue with all of you. Always fun “Metzin around” with you fellas.

    My wife and I’s third child is now 6 weeks old & doing fantastic. We’re close to having him broke in with sleeping through the night… At which point, I will gladly return to the TFB comment section.

    Please know that these last few weeks as a lurker have only been temporary and I will certainly not be morphing into our friend, Stevey Dale.

    Until then, back to the shadows (where I’ll thoroughly enjoy this weekend’s BOOM)…

  • hOUligan says:

    Interesting on Harris and Rogers being related. Has OU offered Harris yet? Thinking packaging them and taking both would be good. Pretty impressed w/ Harris and the Rogers kid looks ok, too.

    • Lincoln Hawk says:

      I officially offered Harris on th O.P. over the weekend, not sure if it’s a committable offer or not….I can’t get Mike Stoops to respond to the candy gram I sent him.

  • ⚡️Electric Sooner⚡️ says:

    Harris is a freek! I wounder if grades is an issue with him?

  • Daryl says:

    what is up the Bane masks that the guys were wearing? Obviously a college thing since they were the only two wearing them.

  • Sooner Ray says:

    Broiles looks smooth in that vid.

  • SamSooner says:

    TRob, if you’re lurking: how did Tyrese do in that poll?

  • Travis Coyle says:

    Steven parkers footwork is crazy!

    • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

      Good, keep it up! He needs to cover like a DB and come up and hit like that boy Roy!

    • Matt S. says:

      I was thinking the same thing. His footwork is ‘twitchy’…crazy quick

  • Fear The Magic says:

    Kind of concerned that I havent seen any of the Sooner Squad 17 chirping on twitter about Isiaiah or a boom coming.

      Metz checking the quality of his concrete subs! Always following up with new and innovative Compressive strength, slump test shuffle, etc. He tests water penetration in a way that can’t be shown here!

        UHHHH….I never knew Metz was into all that. I’m stayin outa his way.

      • metzker says:

        You left off flexural!!!!!

  • SamSooner says:

    For you Metz:

  • DrewChubbs says:

    Remember the good ol’ days, when we would get an Open Post, and then a few updates would usually follow? Man, I miss those days. Only 530 gazillion days until the season starts!

    • Rick says:

      It’s only about 15 weeks until opening day. We can always talk about expansion, stadium construction, prospective booms and Texsa Sucks! until then.

      • cush creekmont says:

        Heck, texsa sucks could take a hundred threads and not exhaust the subject.

      • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

        I’m so ready for the season it’s not even funny. I was only planning on making the tOSU game, but with the baby sis graduating from UH this year, my parents offered to cover my expenses for the trip so I’ll be there week 1. I’m so excited.

        • Rick says:

          Me too, I am so ready. I watched the 1977 game (then posted it on the daily news). Talk about moxy, those teams had it.

          • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

            I’m always on YouTube watching old games. Those games against Nebraska were INSANE. I’m glad we have a home and home with them. The first college football game (I remember going to) was an OU Texas game and the guy who got the tickets for my pops and I was an OU alum, so he tossed me an OU hat, OU won and that’s when I became a Sooner.

          • Rick says:

            My first game was in the 60’s, a TX/OU game. I thnk my first game in Norman was a OU/KU game.

          • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

            That’s awesome! The first game in Norman for me, was 03 against UCLA only because my dad went to UCLA, like I’ve said before. OU smoked them and the atmosphere was insane. I honestly chose our school because I fell in love with the football. I know that’s not a legit reason to choose a school, but with my family owning our own finance business I knew I just needed that piece of paper, so I followed my heart.

      • John Garner says:

        saxeT sucks every day. Nothing new there. Let’s talk girls softball for now. They’re kicking ass.

        • Jesse says:

          And they’re doing this with 8 starters that are underclassman!!! So so good.

          • John Garner says:

            Yeah. Gasso can pick’em and coach’em up. Can’t wait to watch them on TV.

          • Jesse says:

            Definitely going to be a good series against ULL. Great pitching/defense. Two really good but different offenses. It’s going to be fun.

          • John Garner says:

            Exactly. I’ll go with OU’s defense though. We’re solid in the field. The key I think is Paige. If they light her up, we have no one who can step in and shutdown ULL’s bats. This is must-watch TV.

      • DrewChubbs says:

        But 15 weeks is sooooooooooooooooo long!!! It feels like a gazillion.

  • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

    I didn’t know about the ’29& ’30 set of games. Who knows what conference we will be in when that finally rolls around lol.

  • Matt S. says:

    OU Tennis tied up 3-3. Deciding match is in the 3rd set. As a former collegiate tennis player, this is intense.

    • Martin says:

      It will be a short celebration if OU wins. After losing Harris for most of the season, the chance to face UVA in the final again would be surreal.

  • Martin says:

    http://streamingtennis.com/Tulsa/court4.html

    Need one more win to advance to the final.
    BOOMER!

  • Sooner Ray says:

    Men win the tennis match.

  • Matt S. says:

    Sooner Tennis beats Georgia. Moves to Championship match!!! Sweet rematch vs UVA

    • cush creekmont says:

      Quite a comeback! I sure hope all the spring sport success is an omen for the fall.

  • Mike Reed says:

    I want Baron Browning, Jeffrey Okudah, Marvin Wilson and Anthony Hines. That is all.
