OU Football Recruiting - Sooners Finally Land Their 2013 Quarterback

After initially missing out on five star quarterback Max Browne, there was some confusion as to what direction the Sooners would go with their next offer at the position in this 2013 class. There were several names out there, Brayden Scott, Kelly Hilinski, Cody Thomas, and Hayden Rettig but no one really knew just where OU offensive coordinator/QB coach Josh Heupel was leaning.
Some of the mystery was revealed when news broke that Colleyville's (TX) Cody Thomas had received the coveted offer just a few weeks ago. However because Thomas is a highly regarded baseball prospect and was in the midst of his season, there was some question as to whether or not he would be OU's primary focus. There had been considerable talk that Heupel was planning a trip to California to watch Rettig throw and that an offer was definitely possible.
That talk all ended today however with the news that Thomas committed to the Sooners Wednesday night.

As Oklahoma heads into the final weekend of the college baseball regular season they still very much have their NCAA Tournament hopes on the line. After getting a much needed sweep over Baylor last weekend the Sooners dropped a mid-week contest against #20 TCU on Tuesday night.
Samford comes to Norman with a decent RPI ranking of #58 which means a series win, or better yet a weekend sweep, will Bolster Oklahoma's chances of a post-season birth. They're not a team that you want to overlook though.

The Sooners were featured in their 'Three Strikes' column following their sweep of Baylor last weekend and OU's chances at the postseason.
Always find it interesting to get an "outsider's" perspective on the team and coaching staff many of us here have at times been fairly critical of this season.
Sooners Wide Receiver, Kameel Jackson, Has Apparent Change Of Heart

RT @Kameeljackson18: Decided to stay at OU. & w/ that being said, its time to silence all rumors.

RT @Kameeljackson18: My suspensions came from my failure to meet my class attendance policy. Nothing more; nothing less.

The strange offseason saga of sophomore wide receiver has taken yet another odd twist. Just a couple days ago, Matt asked the relevant question "Why was Kameel Jackson suspended by Bob Stoops when he was planning to transfer?" Well, now we apparently have our answer.
At this point, we don't know what this means with respect to his "indefinite suspension" and just how long he'll be forced to sit out, but it is a good sign that he's publicly taking responsibility for his actions.
Sooners Take Bedlam Series For Seventh Straight Year
With the close of the spring regular season athletic schedule, I thought it worth mentioning that our Oklahoma Sooners came out on top of the Bedlam Series for the seventh straight year.
At one point, just looking at that start to things, I would have told you this was almost impossible but that was just me temporarily forgetting who Oklahoma State was, is, and always will be.
And, yeah, sure in the one year a decade they win the football game they'll tell you it's all that matters. When in every other year they're boasting about their greatness in wrestling, or golf, or animal husbandry.
So thank you to all of our student athletes for providing we fans with yet another year's worth of bragging rights!

Oklahoma's Offensive Success In 2012 Could Be In The Hands Of Courtney Gardner

in Oklahoma Sooners Football
Last Wednesday's news that Bob Stoops was suspending three of Oklahoma's receivers indefinitely may have been just the extra motivation Courtney Gardner needed to get him through the long dog days of summer. It was widely suspected that Gardner could come to campus this summer and earn a starting spot this fall but with the recent suspensions that's exactly what Oklahoma needs him to do. They have to get him on campus first though!
Oklahoma Drops Mid-Week Game To TCU In Pitching Duel

in Baseball
Heading into this Mid-Week game, Oklahoma had a shot to solidify themselves as an NCAA Tournament team. Coming off a series sweet against the #2 Baylor Bears, the Sooners had proven once again that they can compete with the best in the nation. The game against TCU was stacking up to be a great one as both teams found themselves in the top 25. However, OU would drop the game 1-0 after a great outing by Dillon Overton, the player I put under fire for under performing late in the season. I guess the message was received and responded to...
