– Kapri Doucet: As most of you know by now Oklahoma recently offered JUCO LB Kapri Doucet (Lackawanna CC) following Dom Alexander’s declaration for the draft (fwiw, I’m told the decision to declare was made shortly before the bowl game). Doucet was committed to Arizona but re-opened his recruitment earlier this week when Zona’s DC/LB coach, Jeff Casteel, was let go. Doucet is also teammates with Oklahoma JUCO OT signee Ashton Julious.
I spoke with one of Doucet’s coaches at Lackawanna, who said that Doucet is “big time interested” in Oklahoma. Doucet’s coach said the 2016 LB had already taken one official visit Arizona and has three additional officials scheduled at this time: Lousiville, West Virginia & Southern Miss. The coach couldn’t say whether Doucet has yet scheduled a visit to Oklahoma, but based on what he said about Doucet’s interest I’d be surprised if the Sooners don’t receive that fifth and final official visit.
Doucet is originally from Virginia and his coach says he seems most interested in Oklahoma and West Virginia at the moment, though there is still real interest in Arizona (sounds like he’s waiting to see who they hire).
I asked Doucet’s coach where his player falls in terms of the best LBs he’s coached. “Top 3,” is where he put him, saying Doucet is up there with Quinton Coples (Miami Dolphins) and Josh Francis (former WVU LB). Coach said that Doucet is “really good of the edge” which you can see on film, but another thing you can see on film is that Doucet is a great athlete who is probably relying a lot on his athleticism right now. He’ll need to continue to develop technically as a LB in terms of recognition and hand usage, but the raw tools are certainly there. – (Super K)
– Chris Daniels: For those of you who may not know yet, just wanted to pass on something Andrew reported on our Texas site. 2016 OU commit Chris Daniels let Andrew know that he will take an official visit to Texas on January 15th. Daniels’ uncle played college ball with Charlie Strong, and Daniels’ father did tell me they have a lot of family ties to coach Strong from back in Arkansas.
The 15th will be a big recruiting weekend for the Longhorns as many of the top players from the state of Texas will be on campus (Brandon Jones, Jeffrey McCulloch, etc.). Although Daniels will take a couple more visits after his trip to Austin, if the Sooners can hold off Texas then I suspect they’ll be sitting pretty come signing day. – (Super K)
– Jared Mayden: Some pretty interesting news came across the wire as we were editing today’s OP when talented 2016 CB Jared Mayden announced via his Twitter account that he’d decommitted from Oregon.
https://twitter.com/MaydenII/status/684762147801333760
You’ll probably recall the name for a number of reasons: Mayden has been talked about repeatedly on TFB, he is an OU legacy, and he has a younger brother who is a 2018 QB prospect the Sooners have expressed some interest in.
It will be interesting to see if the Sooners can re-insert themselves into the things with Mayden as they are still looking to fill at least one more DB spot in this 2016 class, especially after the departure of Zack Sanchez.
– UPDATE (2:43 pm): Assuming this report is accurate, it would appear the Sooners will indeed get that fifth official visit from Doucet.
2016 (@LCFalconsFB ) JUCO OLB @hit_squad_4 Kapri Doucet will OV Oklahoma Jan.22nd

Hola!
Buenos dias!
no bad language on this site!
I have a bad feeling about Daniels….hope I’m wrong.
That’s heartburn.
Post holiday dieting can cause that – along with anxiety and excessive concern of the future plans of 18 year old fellows.
I hope you’re wrong too but I would feel fairly confident about a flip if the roles were reversed. Even our longhorn sister site is selling hope for the horns.
agree and UT may be in the mix for the Oregon decommit–Mayden , as well……
Is Doucet just a body or do we expect him to contribute right away..? Also how does he affect other LB offers? Any word on Chip Viney & what his expectations are this spring?
I think he has a lot of talent. But would expect there to be a transition period just looking to know what to see and react to. But the upside is there.
His highlight reel on HUDL is pretty damn good. Even has some pass coverage highlights which is very rare. At this stage with DA leaving, he’s well worth an offer.
one site lists him at 6-0 and another at 6-2……one site called another ‘Striker’ which may mean he is a one dimensional pass rusher without pass coverage skills . anybody seen tape of this guy other than Atlanta Sooner ?
a 2 for 2 , 3 for 2, 3 for 3, 4 for 3 guy ?
His film is in yesterday’s OP.. He can definitely run.. I believe he’s a 2for2..
Sadly, I don’t think OU has a chance at Mayden. He looking to leave the area.
Hearing FSU and Ohio State but am digging. Alex is reaching out to the family
I don’t think it’s a big hit if he goes elsewhere with OU already having Parker and Cobb in the fold.
Where there is smoke there’s a fire. Daniels is gone and don’t even play the if OU can hold off Texas card. Every time a kid who has committed and decided to take a few more trips has left. OU should applaud the kid for making their decision easy by moving on and getting a recruit who is ALL IN with no jellyfish spine. If they waiver before a single workout with Smitty, do you really think they’ll put in 100% day in day out.
I wouldn’t say every time. On the flipside though, OU has been able to flip a lot of talent from other schools using the same method.
Daniels has been planning this all along, correct? He said before he committed that he planned on taking all of his visits. Should be interesting down the stretch though.
Why commit to OU then go visit OU’s rival?
con OU into a sense of complacency so the Sooners would quit recruiting other THEN roll over to Texas ? I agree with Big Tiddays in the next post below .
https://youtu.be/XofxIYyvZ1s
lmao
Free Vacay, friends that are going, etc … I would too. I’ve partied in Austin several times and I would take that visit in a heartbeat, regardless of where I was committed.
He said he was going to before he committed. Idk why, but this isn’t that big of news. This is a rivalry once you get here. Adrian Peterson was a strong Texas lean until the shootout, turned the tide, then he committed at the Army game. Kids don’t view this like the fans.
With the new era of social media and reputation of the millennial generation, recruiting rules should be restructured to allow schools to accept binding, letters of intent for anyone who commits before National Signing Day. Verbal commitments mean nothing anymore.
Yep.
They’ve never meant anything.
I believe they did in previous eras. Now we’re dealing with the Generation Z, kids born starting in the mid-90’s onward, with too many influences other than a school’s recruitment process. The kids are using the verbal commitments these days to “save their spot”, putting schools in a precarious position by not knowing whether or not verbals turn into LOI’s. Schools need the time flippers waste to pursue legitimate bodies, so if you say you’re coming here, sign this piece of paper. NSD should be the LAST day you can sign, not the first.
Or at least have a couple of signing periods during the year. Maybe one in August before the HS season and one right after in December.
Kids have backed out of Verbal Commitments as long as there have been verbal commitments. We just hear about it more now because of social media. Back in Switzer’s days, you really didn’t know much about a class until signing day because coaches couldn’t talk about them. Now kids are pulling hats on ESPN or various “all star” games that are nationally televised, posting pics and info on Twitter, Intagram, SnapChat, etc. I think they need an early signing period like basketball. It would be good for the kids too, because they could focus on their senior year (academics mainly) and not be bothered with umpteen reporters, fans, coaches, slimeball agents and the like contacting them daily.
I don’t really enjoy the argument or get why we are critical about these kids making verbal to just hold their spot or when they change their mind.
They are kids, not adults and just image dealing with all the hounding and whatnot that goes around it.
Plus their goal is to put themselves in the best position to succeed because if they don’t it could mean the difference between NFL and bench at times. Universities aren’t at risk like these kids, a university will always have a future, they will always be functioning whether a kids goes there or backs out.
Universities also offer scholly and then take them away, that affects a kid much more dramatically than the other way around. So to be honest it is the kids job to be selfish because they only get one or two shots to get it right, if not that could mean a life of 9-5 or a life on Sundays.
Then skip my posts entirely, but thanks for the lecture.
The hounding amounts to “Come to my place and I’ll give you room and board, two free meals and 150,00 scholarship which will earn you about 100,00 a year for the rest of your life.” You mean that kind of hounding?
Yeah the problem with that is the schools change. Not a kid’s fault if the position coach or head coach leave. They shouldn’t be bound in that case, or a million other cases.
Kids are kids. They don’t change nearly as much we perceive.
agree with you but swiping other schools recruits are what schools in the Little 12-2 do best.. OU might not get 10 quality athletes a year with such a restructure………..
I just can’t wrap my head around OU not being able to close some solid 4 or 5 start DTs. OUr defense with two solid run stoppers would be unstoppable.
Yep, and we’ve put a lot of DT’s in the NFL over the years.
As in like 4 solid ones in the last 10 years, Dusty D, Tommie H, Gerald M, and Jordan P. Who else not including des like Wilkerson and Cody. We have sent more RBs, OL, and DBs.
Stacy McGee plays quite a bit for the Raiders
Jordan Phillips will most likely be a solid one too. I tell you, if you misuse one or two words on this site, the piranha come out to bite!
Didn’t we get Gallimore and Overton last year? Don’t we currently have Daniels?
may not keep Daniels if Charlie Strong can turn him
If they’ve always had a strong family connection then he would of already committed. There’s no benefit in committing to OU first.
Texas only offered recently—-like the day of Daniels commitment to OU…….Strong is seeking revenge over the Lampkin reversal of last fall……………………..
That may be Strong’s motivation, which if it is then he’s pretty petty, but I guarantee you these kids dont give a crap about coaches agendas. The only reason why I could see Daniels committing and not be 100% is to hold a spot.
and personally, along with what you said, I don’t think Strong’s motivation or any coaches motivation is revenge, as the guy above stated. A coach either wants a player or he doesn’t. I don’t think OU thinks: “Let’s recruit this guy b/c we’re mad UT beat us this year.” Silly. Never happens.
I doubt revenge for Lampkin is his motivation. If you look at the offers Daniels has received they include Ohio State, Tennessee, Michigan, Texas, Alabama, Baylor, Miami, Iowa, Michigan State, Missouri, OSU, Ole Miss, TCU, USC, aTm, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and others.
If appears to me a lot of schools think he is a pretty darn good football player. No guarantee he develops but a high probability that he can develop if he wants to.
http://247sports.com/Recruitment/Chris-Daniels-39137/RecruitInterests
I doubt that Strong sits in his office and analyzes how he can counter what OU’s done- he’s making decisions based on his needs, same as us
or if he decides to join the peace corps /s
Or offensive lineman? Sooners are Tackle U and we seem to struggle to sign the top rated linemen.
Aren’t both of our Freshmen OTs highly recruited guys?
Brown was what a 3 star and can’t remember about Dru
Brown had offers from just about everybody in the country who’s anybody.
https://rivals.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/player-Orlando-Brown-123618
Samia was a 4*, so was Frison.
I really just remember we signed him late, was talking about this year with Little and Moore and a few others. Just seem like they would line up to come here to go on to the NFL. Guess I’m a little one sided in my opinion.
Bedenbaugh’s last two classes of OL were pretty stout. It’s difficult to get top OTs to come here when you’re two starting OTs are only freshmen. That’s a tough sell out on the recruiting trail. If there’s an issue, that’s what it would be.
your probably right
And he looks like he has a bright future, which is more important than “stars”.
True
I’m not knocking our tackles, I think both has the opportunity to be great.
Brown was no 3 star. I think the qualification thing dropped him several ranks. He had 5* level of production this year it seems
247Sport, 247Sport Composite had Brown listed as a 4*.
http://oklahoma.247sports.com/Season/2014-Football/Recruits?Player.FullName=brown&Player.Enabled=False&Recruitment.Enabled=False
Frison is going to be SO good!!…………oh, wait a minute……….crap
Samia while a 4* his best offers aside from OU were UCLA, Utah and Arizona. Also had offers from Oregon State and Texas Tech.
https://rivals.yahoo.com/oklahoma/football/recruiting/player-Dru-Samia-158437
Samia was a 4 star, had about 13 or 14 offers. Mostly Pac 12.
You mean in the past with Harris, Dovercek, etc, etc, etc, etc?
Or do you mean who we have on campus this year? Dimon 4*, Gallimore 4*, Garnett 4*, Lampkin 4*, Overton 4*, Tapper 4*, Wade 4*, Ward 4*.
Or are you talking about lowly Walker, only a 2* and 3*?
Or are you talking about someone who hasn’t had a chance to sign yet in Feb. ’16?
I’d say Walker and Tapper this year were as good as anyone DLinemen in the nation.
Tapper, Dimon, and Lampkin were all 3*.
Not by all. I looked it up on OU’s official site.
It depends upon which service you adhere to. Lampkin was a 4* with 247Sports and Dimon was a 4* with Scout. I personally prefer the 247Sports Composite ranking which is the aggregate of Rivals, Scout, ESPN and 247Sports rankings. The more comprehensive the evaluation the more apt to be accurate in my opinion. Using the Composite ranking you are correct all three were 3*.
Probably the most accurate means of evaluating a prospect is to look at the schools he gets offers from and all the services are accurate in identifying those schools.

Dimon was defensive player of the year in Texas his senior year at Katy, so screw those rating systems

Walker and Que in 2016.
I know recruiting has picked up. But playing in the CFP should open a few more doors before signing day. I really hope OU can close and have a top 10 or better class.
What’s everybody think about Dalton Woods walking on. Hoping he makes it, tremendous talent if he can get his personal life straight.
I will be happy for the young man if he does. He has a lot to overcome to get straightened out. To date, he appears to have been making a lot of poor choices. He is putting himself under a lot of pressure to go to school and walk on in football at the same time. He is going to need to start making the right choices and that change is hard overnight, especially when there are consequences of prior choices that still have to be dealt with. I hope he ends up being successful at OU, but more important I hope he gets his life straightened out.
Only time will tell. But if he sticks through the first year, I think he will be here for the long haul. He only made his situation harder by losing his scholarship.
I think it will be a tough road for him, especially since he has another baby on the way.
gosh, he’ll catch Deion Sanders at this pace………..
Is he on campus?Believe it when i see it. refresh
Suppose to be on campus the 14th when school starts
Would love to see him focus on football and school and make a contribution.
I would too, but he has to stop digging and put down the shovel. He might benefit from just being able to talk to someone who can help guide him. If any coach can do this, it is Stoops.
I moved on from Dalton Woods and plan to stay in that mindset. He seems like a trainwreck.
Let’s see…you called him a “poorly raised train wreck” in the News Daily today, and now this. Can you just quit with the trashing of our players? You trashed Kyler Murray even worse than Dalton. Both kids want to be Sooners, and more importantly the coaches really want both kids to be here. So can we just grow up, accept the decision our coaches have made, recognize that Dalton has made a mistake early in life and now he is ready to make a better life for himself. You don’t know anything about Dalton or Murray, so let’s just keep your made up assumptions about them to yourself. We’ve been told often that recruits read our posts, so I think it is a good policy to not trash either current or potential Sooners.
Dave should i delete my big foot picture?
No, actually Big Foot is funny, because he has been this mythical/mysterious guy. I just don’t know one can arrive at “poorly raised train wreck” after reading the story and explanation. Almost every decent human being would have fought for the near kid like he did.
Agree with ya wish him the best
I’ll stop “trashing our players” if you stop stalking and obsessively trashing posters for posting things you disagree with, while trying to moderate a forum you’re not a moderator of. Deal?
It’s not a matter of whether I agree or disagree with you. Some things are better left unsaid in a public forum. You’re obviously gonna continue to do what you’re gonna do, but I guess I just don’t get the need some people have to trash 18-19 year old kids, especially under a forum username. To each their own however.
Amen
i’ll be surprised if he survives one semester in Norman……This guy says all the right things but does all the wrong things………
I think he’ll surprise- was glad to hear that he understood that family comes first- now that the issue is resolved, he can rededicate himself
I dont get why UT would wait until so late in the process to offer a kid with ties to the head coach.
They didnt get a DT last year after the lampkin debacle, and daniels is the highest rated DT they had a legit shot at.
It is kind of strange, no?
Strange AND frustrating.
Even if they had landed oliver and/or elliot, daniels is still an easy take. Hes quick enough to play on the edge in a 3 man front.
Maybe they are just trying to stick it to us, wouldnt put it past them.
not strange at all……….Strong waited to generate the greatest interest among the fan base , knowing full well, his ties to the family would allow him instant credibility with the recruit.
Even you aren’t stupid enough to believe that.
We keep making things foolproof and they keep making better fools.
Even you aren’t stupid enough to believe that.
Daniels committed to OU. This kids need to understand what that means. If he wants to win, he’ll come to OU.
If we could get Mayden, this would be the second time we’ve broken the hearts of Oregon fans in the 2016 class. They were almost certain they had Youngquist last summer until they didn’t and he committed to OU. It doesn’t make up for 2006, but I couldn’t think of a more irritating collection of douchebags anymore deserving than Duck fans, especially given their defensive woes.
It’s shocking how Oregon has made so many inroads in recruiting in Texas.
Oregon AND Oregon State when Riley was there.
I can tell you how they got their start…..Seastrunk and Lyles….NCAA show-cause on Chip Kelly…NCAA show-cause on Josh Gibson.
Can’t think of a more irritating collection of douchebags? Hell, Baylor is IN our conference!!!!
Good Call, I should edit it to read, “I couldn’t think of a more irritating collection of douchebags at the very moment I was typing, than Duck fans.”
Allen Patrick STILL has the ball, btw.
That whole crew should have been fired following the season, not suspended.
If by “following the season” you mean on the spot, I agree. Still got AP’s picture on my office wall, holding the ball up while those buffoons searched the pile for it.
“Buffoons,” funny.
I initially thought on the spot but I didn’t know if that would have put them in a bind for the rest of the season, as far as having a crew to call every game. I was being generous.
I figured you thought they needed notice. On the spot or end of the season, the end needed to come, but as I recall, the replay guy got a promotion (well and purported death threats, which even in my demented humor seamed a bit over the top).
Are you going soft on me?
Seriously, that was inexcusable.
And if I’m Belotti, I would forfeit that win. I lost respect for him after he watched the replay and wouldn’t come clean. He could have said this: “I know that we are not supposed to criticize officials. I know the Pac 10 is going to punish me. But in good conscience, I can’t accept this win. The officials got it wrong.”
Yep, just say well we stole that one or some such.
It would’ve been nice if they’d gotten EITHER. The head ref that day was promoted to Coordinator of Officiating for the entire conference the next season.
Lofty standards, I see.
About as high as ESPN, apparently. He’s now one of their in-studio “rules experts.”
Well, that’s par for the course.
Ding, Ding, Ding. We’ve got a winner here!
I don’t think mayden is coming to ou unless we tell motley to take a walk.
OU doesn’t need Mayden unless one of the DB commits decommits……….more important needs elsewhere to use the remainder of the ‘ships’…’
Any word on Chris Barrcus out of NEO? Seems he was really high on us at one time.
Seems I heard Nebraska was likely.
I like that this kid appears to approach things with a chip on his shoulder.

Jalapeño poppers. Those make me sore.
Agreed!
“It burns, burns, burns. The ring of fire.” –Johnny Cash
Kids at this level should be accustomed to the off-season grind. I’m sure they can also see how close they came to achieving all of their goals and what it’s going to take to get to ‘the top’. Back into the weight room and turn it over to Coach Schmidt and Miss Tiff.
Mayden…”I’m just looking for a school that has a good tradition and stable coaches,” he told Bleacher Report’s Damon Sayles. “I’m trying to go somewhere and win, but it’s really going to depend on how I feel about the coaching staff.” Sounds like OU to me but we may not have enough spots left.
I d find a way to make room for him.
I was thinking same thing until Sanchez left early. I feel there is a really good chance.
Cooks stay on this guy.
I see uterus flipping Daniels
shut your whorn mouth!
OU pursued Mayden and he apparently felt like he didn’t fit, then. What would happen to change his mind now? Hoping Daniels is basically doing a ‘courtesy’ visit to appease his parents and a family friend. He said he was taking visits during his ‘commitment’ interview so haven’t been counting on him fully but he seems like an intelligent, squared away young man so hoping he feels the OUDNA while on the visits.
30 days isn’t a lot of time to flip a guy that already made up his mind. Charlie better put on a helluva show for that to happen.
Charlie is a longtime family friend as well as a college teammate of Daniels’s dad. Charlie may not need anymore time than one day to flip Daniels….After OU getting Lampkin last September, you can bet Strong will be selling early playing time as a lure to turn him…………
I forget what Lampkin is up to… did we redshirt him this season or did he end up having to go to JUCO?
soonersd do not feed
He redshirted.
The next four weeks are going to be wild.
WAT /S
always. but it looks to me like OU is recruiting well as of late
Am I the only one who thinks of Bobby Doucet?
update added
Sylvie & Caleb Kelly
https://twitter.com/ChanseSylvie/status/684813346114125824
Kelly has really been growing at his “do”.
Hey, Caleb: Rotate hand counter-clockwise about 85 degreees.
45 degree
No.
Assuming his hand is at 22.5 degrees then yes another 22.5 would be 45
Doh i apologize but 85 aint right either
I’d say his hand is currently rotated down from horizontal plane by roughly 30 degrees. Add another 60 degrees down from horizontal and I would certify that hand position is correct for Sooner Players and Fans.
WINNER ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OK, if you guys are going to go all math nerd on the angles you need to also specify the axis of rotation. Better yet specify the Euler angles based on current hand position and assume that the arm does not move. If you allow arm movement then you need Euler angles for each of the joints.
If the arm doesn’t move and his wrist bends 85 degrees then we just broke his wrist! Can we not go breaking bones!?
Well I left the option of arm motion, It just makes the math a little more complicated.
Just do 3D coordinate projection to 2D and it greatly simplifies the Texsa suck hand signals on 2D monitor.
No.
360/4 = 90
In the machining word, B Axis rotates +/- direction 360 degrees.
4 common B positions…. B0 B90 B180 B270 degrees.
So, I see a -87 degree move and finishes in the 180 position or Horns down sign.
Cmon man. Do we have to know geometry here now?
yes, same as yesterday
And movies
This is more 3 DOF mechanics than geometry. There will be a test on signing day.
Makes me miss the Disney movie exams.
And hallmark
Yeah, that’s it. Actually I’m better at physics than Hallmark/Disney movies.
I was waiting for this one. LOL
And hallmark
We could always have a test to find something positive in a Stephen Dale post. It would be kind of like a Where’s Waldo.
lmfaoooooooooooo
that made me lol
I guess I’ll have to quit coming to this site.
clockwise to him
Well, duh. 😉
Dustin you’re correct; working with a 360 degree the top (North) being 0 and the bottom ( south) being 180. Kelly’s hand being at about 265. Then 265-85=180.
Long offseason…huh? 😉
Every year.
Sylvie is shredded for a safety lol
I want Oklahoma boys playing in this game for marketing reasons. (That Mixon commitment still sends shivers because of just how big the pick was.) For some reason the US Army bowl has been really good to us more so that the UA ones, hoping we keep that mojo up this weekend
I know it wasn’t at a game but the Youngquist commitment was another one of those Mixon types. Twitter went crazy when he committed.

@ChanseSylvie retweet this if you know that you and Caleb Kelly will be teammates in college… #BoomerSooner
Seems like with the current players on scholarship and the commits we currently have, we’re at around 81. So maybe 5 more players to take or so. Everyone agree this looks like our possible commits to finish out?
Jared Mayden
Caleb Kelly
Elysee Mbem-Bosse
Marcel Southall
Amani Bledsoe
Johncarlo Valentin
Tramonda Moore
EJ Price
Willie Allen
Whatever happened to Dontavious Jackson (LB out of TX)? Seemed like we were high on him early on but I haven’t heard anything all season about him.
Mark Jackson, Quartney Davis and Velus Jones are still interested
Self-promoter. Not someone I want to play at OU.
Isn’t that a marketing strategy? 🙂
Certainly seems that way.
Of those you listed and Soonerfan24 mentioned I would say OU should definitely take Southall, Kelly, Moore and Jones. If only two more scholarships were available I would hop OU to spend them on one more linebacker and WR.
Mayden 50%, Kelly 99%, Bosse 20%, Southall 99%, Bledsoe 75%, Valentine 25%, Moore 99%, Price 33%, Allen 25%, Little 25%, Burton 33%, M. Jackson 50% (I think he likes us but dad wants him somewhere else) Q. Davis 33% (he knows he works hard could play as a FR), and Velus Jones 75% (think he has been a Sooner at heart just last min details scared him)
I’d go higher percentage on Davis and lower percentage on Allen, but pretty much agree with the rest.
I hope you are right with Davis. Allen Idk as much about though!
I see a lot of optimistic percentages here. Id be more like Mayden 15% Kelly90% Price 25% Little 20% Burton 15% M Jackson 50% Velus Jones 60%
Southall 80% Bledsoe 80% Moore 75%.
Well Mean anything less than 50% isn’t to optimistic. BUTTTTTTTTTTTT, your saying there’s a chance!!!!!
BTW we made the final 5 for Burton so at least go 20%
I wouldnt say that puts it at 20%. Its pretty widely believed that he’ll end up on the west coast. If we made his final 5 I think we’re more of a filler pick. Just my opinion of course.
Stop being a negative Nancy just cause we lost to Clemson doesn’t mean the world is ending. I think we will end up with 6 of the kids above and possibly Doucet!
Im not a negative Nancy at all and my percentages have nothing to do with the Clemson game. Theyre mostly derived from interviews and things in general that I read on these kids.
So we will have a shitty class? Is that what you are getting at chicken freaking little?
Said by D Hunter
“So we will have a shitty class? Is that what you are getting at chicken freaking little?”
lol wow what hostility. I never said anything about us having a bad class. Those are just my percentage predictions. I still think that our class will be pretty good overall.
You need to lighten up bro lol.
Edit: Ok now you deleted your post?
Moore, Mayden, Southall, Valentin and Kelly would be awesome gets. Keeping Daniels would be as well.
I would have thought that if Texass had been a keen interest of Daniels that he would have committed to them by now. However, I am concerned about him visiting the weekend a bunch of other blue chippers are visiting. I can see Strong putting on his best dance and give them “together we can change this program back to its glory days” speech and several commit as a group. Texass is shallow at DT and DE and early playing time is a good possibility. Strong seems committed to get his recruits in there as soon as possible and put Mack’s guys on a shelf.
Anytime a kid is visiting other schools you have to wonder but the fact that he committed after Texas offered is a good sign. Also when interviewed after said that he was solid to OU but wanted to experience other places. Heck his parents even had an OU custom cake for his announcement. When you bring cake into things it gets real.
If he goes to UT, he gets to spend about 12 mos with Charlie (if he’s lucky).
An OU cake!!! Well that ices it!
Budum tcsh.
He hasn’t shown the sort of charisma that Mack Brown had in convincing these kids that a sinking ship is sort of fun and they ought to come along for the ride to the bottom.
I think this is from 247 or scout.. Doucet is visiting the 22nd.. of January..
Always a nice reminder… That Texsa is suck..!

Edited. How do the Football Brainiac edition staff writers break out, who covers who?
huh?
I think he is implying they haven’t post anything for quite sometime…
I didn’t take it that way at all, but to be honest I’m not sure what he was asking either. Lol!
Glad to see you are miffed, seems you’re crouched and ready to pounce more times than not
Obviously you are too stupid to comprehend. I actually was sticking up for you against QuestFor8. SMH.
I was actually just kidding, but now you’ve played the stupid card and turned my joke into reality
Wasn’t trying to bash him, just my interpretation of his initial question.
Not a brain teaser, I noticed Andrew posts on the Texas Brainiac site, and since we never see write ups from many of the others, it poses the question of whether they post elsewhere or if they’re fictitious
Doucet from the same JUCO as Ashton Julious, no?
Yes! Doucet was committed to Arizona but re-opened his recruitment earlier this week when Zona’s DC/LB coach, Jeff Casteel, was let go. Doucet is also teammates with Oklahoma JUCO OT signee Ashton Julious.
I see fact checking in your future.
Well it easy when it’s already in the article 🙂
FACTCHECK.ORG. Are they the ones that said Carley Fiorina was lying when she said that she worked her way up in business from a secretary to CEO because even though she did, it was at 2 different companies so it didn’t count? LOL! Or that Ben Carson lied when he said that Hillary Clinton told her daughter and Egypt’s leader the Benghazi attacks were terrorism while telling America it was an unrelated video because that is “distorting a complicated situation” Haha! Surrre! Liberals! SMH. If they ain’t lyin’ they ain’t tryin’!
ok…
FactCheck is not liberal or conservative. Geez.
Oh yes it is. and it’s been proven so.
liberals are some of the best people i have ever met.
Go away, Kyle! You, sir, and your university, stank. Stanky McStank-Stank stankaroo. 🙂
Forgive me if this has been answered previously but word is that OU has no room for Mayden. Even if he were interested we couldn’t/wouldn’t take him. Correct?
I think we take at least one more CB in this class. On NSD, wouldn’t be surprised if we had 86-88 on scholarship. These things just have a way of working themselves out.

Samaje Perine is such a fine example of an OU player. We are all pulling for him and thinking of him Mrs. Perine. Bless you and the whole family.
He is such a Great young man. Heal fast Samaje!
Tough kid, he’ll be good to go. Kid works hard, I’m sure he’ll work hard in rehab as well.
Being off his feet for a bit, this should give him a chance to work on that upper body /s
Good point. Those little arms could use some muscle mass. No more of that struggling once he’s past 100 reps benching only 225! He will develop some real strength and endurance.
I had ankle surgery last year to tighten and reattach legiments… It was the best thing I have ever done… 3 screws later and about 8-12 wks recovery was well worth it… I used to havey ankle give out all the time with out actively and painful sprains when I did play sports… Now my ankle is solid… No pain (expect when it’s really cold) or sprains… Given that Perine is a real athlete, he should recover faster and easily experience better results?
This whole time I thought he had adamantium.
Strong body. I’m sure all will be fine. No worries.
Tough kid to play on that ankle against Clemson.
Hopefully he can rest up. Dude doesn’t need a bunch of work in the spring anyways.
Yes, the rest will do him good. Seemed like each game in November, Samaje had a point in the game where it looked like the ankle had gotten the best of him. But he’d not only comeback – he’d make clutch, huge plays to spur us on. Humble, hard-working and all about the team and it’s success. Samaje is THE example for our players to follow. Can’t wait to see what he can do fully healthy next season. Get well soon Samaje!
Glad he will get the recovery he needs! Doesn’t have anything to prove in spring so let’s get Mixon and Anderson those extra reps
Does anyone else think it wouldn’t hurt for Mixon to shed 10-15 lbs for quickness sake or am I crazy?
I do. Mixon looks huge. It looks like he could get some more speed with a little less weight on him even though he’s pretty damn fast.
He just needs a little more fluidity so take some yoga and keep working on his game.
Nah. Just needs to continue to work hard. We’re all aware he took a year off from football so let’s see what a full year of team workouts does for him.
The coaches need to go over film with him and show him that he needs to get north and south, against teams like osu and tech and poor defenses, he can beat guys running lateral to the LOS but against the good/speedy defenses he has to find a hole and go.
I’ve read the biggest adjustment for a kid coming out of high school is learning that he can’t just outrun guys to the corner. The defensive guys in college are fast enough to keep up. Maybe Mixon needs to learn that.
I believe it. The thing is he can exploit bad defensive teams but like I mentioned there’s going to be 4 or 5 teams that you just have to make a decision and go, best man wins. His run against osu was impressive but that doesn’t happen to tcu, Texas, Baylor or Clemson. Won’t work against Ohio state next year.
Typically, the kids playing RB at the college level were the fastest guys on their teams. They have to learn that they’re now playing a lot of “the fastest guys on their teams”.
As far as quickness goes yes but he seems a little fragile at times and though he has heart I wouldn’t want more injuries simply for weight loss

Samaje, with all due respect, but I just want to say that your mama is, uh, of the non-ugly sort.
I mean, if that’s okay with you, Mr. Samaje, sir.
LOL, I’m glad you said it first. I didn’t want to be the only guy in here to point it out.
Eschbach made it seem like her post was fearful of amputation. Seems like your pretty standard “pray for a speedy recovery” type post.
Samaje looks just like his mama.
All I can say is January 22nd is my birthday. I better get a good present.
Just watching a little video on Ashton Julious. If he can get his footwork right, he may turn out to be a really good OL for us. Plays with good leverage and pad level already.
I can’t believe we’d want somebody that big playing guard, which is what I keep hearing in regards to Julious.
Duke Robinson 6’5″ 300lb and Dana Savage last year at 6’4″ 345lb are a couple guys close in size but he will have to be in shape to move with our up tempo offense
I too was thinking guard because of his movement. But honestly, that didn’t work with Derek, so I’d much rather have a 6’4″ 315 guard who can MOVE, instead of one that is immovable, especially with our blocking schemes.
By my calculations, we have 81 scholarships spoken for next season. Not trying to start rumors, but are we expecting more transfers or decommitments?
I count 74 kids that are on Scholly and a whole bunch of walk on kids. But I don’t work there and Idk the numbers and we have been told all along to expect this class to be 18-21 kids in size!
There were 12 scholarship seniors from everything I’ve read. Also we had 2 open scholarships all year, plus green and knight have announced transfers and 2 players left for the draft. So that’s 18 available scholarships and I was told by a poster on another site that they expect 2 more transfers. If all of that holds true we should take 20. I’ve heard the rumors of holding off on scholarships and saving them for 2017 but I don’t see why we would go into next season with 2 or 3 open spots. At the same time I think it depends on if we get who we realistically think we will land. We can’t afford to take warm bodies just to sit and transfer out in 2 years.
Zack, my count was close, but I also included Frison, so my total was 21.
Forgot about him. Thanks.
Nice win by the WBB. Thought they looked like toast in the first half. They were down by 12 or 14 at one time, but closed to within 4 at the end of the 3rd. Took their first lead during the 4th and pulled away to win by 13.
I don’t know if you guys saw it, but Justice Hansen committed to Ark State.
Wow. I thought he’d get better offers.
He had a K-State offer. That kind of surprises me, but Ark State throws more than KSU.
Anyone else feel the earthquake?
yup, one of the longer ones…….2 waves around 10 sec total

Felt them at the Thunder game. very strange.

We offered Javon Wims on December 16, does he have any interest?
He committed to Georgia.
