OU starting to feel confident in their pitch.

That’s just embarrassing at this point.

They felt good about Williams Nwaneri too until the few days before his commitment. So I'm taking that with a grain of salt.

all signs say OU and they just got the 10th overall player in 5-star DL Stone from Florida last week.

Venables is recruiting on another level for a 6-7 coach.

Also, the mom said it's about academics and closeness, but they are a distant 3rd in both to UT and A&M, and even way behind in money. Not sure why they shot up.

Dom was quoted as saying he had a decision a few weeks ago, but sounds like he's telling different staffs different things. LSU the only school with not much confidence.

This is an issue, weather you want to admit it or not.

Is it ideal? No. But is the sky falling? Still no.

The top 2 players in Georgia aren't going to Georgia. Same applies to Bama, Clemson in South Carolina, Texas or A&M, Tennessee, UF/Miami/FSU in Florida... kids leave their home state. That's just how it is.

Very true.

The thing is though: you gotta replace the kids leaving the state with equal or better talent.

That’s happening at DB but certainly not on the dline

OU has taken the best DO from Florida, Oklahoma and now Louisiana

All for a 6-7 team

That's a totally fair point. Hitting the portal is fine as a supplement, but we could definitely do better in HS DL recruiting.

The Jimmy Lindsey situation definitely doesn't help (and beyond that, hope he recovers quickly) but really not sure how to improve recruiting that position.

I trust BK and staff to figure it out, but until they do and meet people's standards, this place is going to be unbearable whenever we "miss" on a DL target.

I'd say it exposes their idiocy. More than anything I think it exposes their biases, positive or negative, toward specific coaches.

which makes no sense because UT and A&M want him BAD and both of those schools could double what OU is offering without blinking.

A&M mod posted that OU smoke is real and it will be a gametime decision.

OU has sent 2 coaches to Laffy and they will both be at the announcement.

Bingo CC. The kids who want to get a massive pay day up front rather than earn NIL through on field results and eventually a career in the NFL don’t belong here. Some kids just have to find out the hard way.


It’d also be great if we just offered some massive NIL deals up front, though.
