Is Austin Cantrell being recruited on offense or defense? And what are our chances with him being an Oklahoma kid
He’s a good looking athlete whatever side of the ball he plays. IMO he is a better defensive player right now but has a higher ceiling at TE/H back. Roland moves him around on defense and at that level their opponents have no answer for him. He likes to sling kids right now but when he learns to fit up on kids he might put a few in the hospital. He would be a good get for the Sooners.
K addressed it in today’s Open Post https://thefootballbrainiacs.com/ou-oklahoma-sooners-football-recruiting-2015-gabriel-campbell-neville-gallimore-rodney-anderson-jerry-montgomery
Gosh, nothing good coming from the TCU camp in Fort Worth, huh?
Other schools are having kids back out…..WHAAAAAAA?? We’re still making some good offers, all is ok here in the middle.
They are waiting for their U.S. Army All-American Bowl invite, so they can pick a hat on national television.
Too early to buy the popcorn.
It just seems an odd culture has developed at TCU in the past few years.
Pasha, dude, Cuba?
Given the choice would you take Tyreik Gray or Rodney Anderson?
I would take any player that has played in Katy’s program over most kids in other programs if the talent is close to being equal.
He is as complete a RB coming out of high school as I have ever seen. The coaching he has received is obvious.

I like Anderson’s film over Gray’s, but I think both would do well at OU
And Rodney has played BIG BOY high school ball.
The RB he backed up as a sophomore, Adam Taylor, wanted the same style of offense and signed with Nebraska last year.
Should also maybe be asking Anderson or Jamabo?
Let me go ahead and say….with it being the offseason, I always look forward to your “other” section. Where do you find this stuff?
A bunch of different places. These type of posts can get to be so repetitive and, IMO, boring. I resisted doing them ever since I started writing online. Was just never a big fan of them, always felt like it so, I don’t know, remedial.
But in my experience a majority of people seem to enjoy them and they’re relatively easy to put together. So when I decided to do it, I had two primary goals.
1) Don’t link to any and everything just b/c it might be OU related. There is a lot of crap out there and I don’t see any point in wasting anyone’s time w/ that.
2) Try and keep it light, just have some fun w/ it. The nature of the post itself (again, IMO) is pretty stupid to begin with, so why not embrace it. If it lightens the mood of the day even for just a minute or two, I figure that’s worth the effort on my part.
On Longhorn welfare, Young also apparently had an offer to go play in the CFL. I saw that on NBC’s College Football Talk, where they scoffed at the amount of money ($63,000/yr) he’d be making as far too little.
The average person would love to be making $63,000 a year, but then again, if you’ve got Longhorn welfare, why bother?
I’m not sure what in the world those people were thinking messing with a moose.
Have there been anymore updates in regards to facility improvements? Whether it be the weight room, Lloyd Noble, Softball facilities or ect…
In addition, is it just growing pains with a new coach with what is going on with baseball? Damn….
No, not yet.
Yeah, Pasha can stay in Cuba…
