Well, Tuesday night provided the first
Of what’s expected to be several pleasant surprises for OU fans. With the commitment of DE Michael Onuoha (h/t to CC, herewegosooners, and all others who had comments on the news).
What I’m planning on doing is posting updates in the comments as they happen and then periodically updating the main post. Let me know if that isn’t working for you and we can adjust as needed.
It’s gonna be a fun, but very long day.
BOOMER SOONER!!!

IMO
Gary Simon is happening.
Courtney Gardner is happening.
Damien Williams is happening.
Williams and Gardner are both sure fire NFL guys IMO.
I’m a big fan of Dom Whaley, but if Williams commits he’s immediately OU’s best RB. Will make OU fans forget any passing thought of Brandon Williams.
DGB’s ceiling is obviously out of this world, but for what OU needs next year Gardner is a better fit. DO NOT take that as “well we’re not getting DGB, so he really wasn’t that good after all” because that’s not even close to what I’m saying. I just believe the gap between he and Gardner for next year is minimal. At best.

It's crazy to think about where the class was just a couple of months ago
Going from what was thought to be a class of 13-15 to a class of likely 25+ and the talent in the 25+ is just sick.
OU fans should be very excited about the future talent in this program!!!

this is the one I wanted OU to get,
miss out on him and you will miss out big time
The one thing being a lot older has going for it, most of us older have seen more CFB than most younger people have seen web pages.
I actually think Mizzou will be a force to reckon with in the SEC....
Mizzou throws the ball and they’re a true spread offense. I see the SEC’s defensive rankings decreasing this year with A&M and Mizzou. Its one thing for SEC teams to have a whole month to prepare for the spread. Its another when their competing against it week in and week out. Thus, why the Big 12 has no defense because the whole entire conference is spread oriented. Now I’m not saying spread teams win championships because they very rarely do, but they can put up some yards and points. Mizzou is going to light up some SEC teams this year, watch……
I do not. At all.

SEC East, perhaps
Those teams are a bunch of turds anyway…at this point. However, they’re stepping into an old B12 scenario where the winner of the North gets mashed by the South.
In accordance with the prophecy
I think they prefer that scenario
A one game chance to knock off the other division winner in an upset. What they had in the Big 12 – 2 was facing us and Texas every year, plus Baylor, Tech, or whatever the other challengers that year happened to be.
by ClarkusKentus on Feb 1, 2012 9:41 AM CST up reply actions
yeah , old miss, vandy, kentucky, and the other teams at the bottom of the SEC.
but that is about it.
Disagree middle of the pack big 12
Why would they be any better in the sec? They will light up vandy, maybe Kentucky. Certainly not miss st, freeze will prolly have ole miss throwing all over & misery can’t stop a sneeze…

Surely you dream of a place far far away.
in another galaxy even. The SEC only had trouble with a spread because of Tbo and Newton. Exceptional players. Mizzou has none ot that. The SEC DT’s, DE’s and LB’s will make them wish they were still in the B12-whatever

Look at Alabama Utah 2009, BCS bowl.......
Alabama got lit up. Look at Arkansas Mizzou in the Cotton Bowl a few years back with McFadden……..Arkansas got lit up. LSU this last year got lit up defensively by West Virginia, but obviously they still won. It’ll happen, just watch….Florida, when they had Tebow and Percy Harvin lit up the SEC…..
You need to take that confidence to Vegas, my friend
I don’t think Misery has the horses…all around. To compare Misery to those teams (yes, they are great examples of the spread defeating the SEC) doesn’t work. They are not the same team as they were a couple years back when they beat an Arkansas team with a bad defense. Nor are they the Tebow-led Gators. And the Utah/Bama game was a trap game and everyone knows it…a la Boise/OU.
In accordance with the prophecy
And defense wins championships, and Missouri’s undersized linebackers are going to get lit up by those SEC offensive lines.
On the flip side, I’m sure their pass-catching tight ends will have some fun against those SEC defensive lines.
The only reason OU was able to do anything against Florida in 2008 is because 80% of that offensive line is playing in the NFL right now.
That's exactly right
Rumor has it that Texas is about to sign a huge corporate sponsorship deal for the Longhorn Network. They just have to decide which brand represents them best: Dyson, Eureka or Hoover.
And equally important, 100% of the tight ends, 100% of the defensive secondary, and at least half of the defensive line.
Actually, just about everyone from that team is playing in the NFL, at least on a practice roster.
Missouri only has one guy who’ll be successful at the next level, and that’s DGB. Poor Kittens.
Though you’d have to think that Mizzu has a better chance in the SEC east than TAMU has in the west

True, but that just puts them in the running for divisional champ as someone mentioned above.

been a sooners fan for a while but just starting to really get into it with the recruiting and stuff. I see rivals has us 7th and a couple schools ahead of us I don’t understand how they are getting better recruiting classes. it worries me that we aren’t higher. so my question is that even though we are 7th, do we have coaches that can take these guys and coach them up to be better than the schools ahead of us
by profoundnotions on Feb 1, 2012 10:02 AM CST via Android app reply actions
IMO, yes we do
Texas has finished ahead of OU basically every year, but have you ever seen us (under Stoops anyway) have back to back years like they just had?
And it’s b/c we develop our talent, they just recruit to the number of stars a kid has, or at least they used to anyway.

If I am not mistaken
There have been only 2 classes from OU ranked higher than this one in the past decade. I would take the rankings with a grain of salt. It’s all fun, and great to read the evaluations on these young men, but texass has won this mythical recruiting NC like 5 times in the last decade.
Hasn’t really panned out for them.

And you have to realize that recruitiment rankings can be misleading. A small, but very good recruit class may be ranked lower the another school’s class that seems average but has a laerge number of recruits.

You really think so?
I would think with all the potential safeties among the athletes (Woods, Brooks, Sanchez), they’d rather try to nudge Striker down the path of Corey Nelson. Granted, Nelson was probably a good 10lbs. bigger coming out of HS, but I think Striker could fill out to 215lbs.+ by the time he’s ready to start, and obviously tack on more before he’s done with college.

The one thing being a lot older has going for it, most of us older have seen more CFB than most younger people have seen web pages.
unfortunately, here in Dallas its worse, the Texass we have the greatest recruiting class of all time B.S. on the radio crap.

At OU, NSD is like Christmas. You make a list, get most of the stuff on the list, and then a few suprises.
At OSU, NSD is like a trip to the casino. You pour money into the machine, and hope to hit it big once or twice before you go broke and have to go home.

Ty Darlington is now my favorite commit
Born and bread a Sooner. This is his school. He’ll take pride in it more than others have. He’ll be more like Sam and Blake Bell, wanting to never to give THEIR school any less than their best

He sure looks like a football player, and I guarantee his Mom won't tolerate a bad attitude.

That happens when you have to allocate 8 scholly's for your FG kickers...
seriously…..when was the last time you went to Ames? ever?
Hunnicut has fixed that for the forseeable future hopefully
And we are lucky a kid wants to come here and pay his way for a year till we have a scholly for him

Agreed on both counts.

OU Out of State Tuition
Is still less than a lot of the TX schools’ In-State Tuition…
…and if he’s from Katy-Cinco Ranch, then there is a decent chance the tuition bill isn’t an issue.

Way, way back when...
in the dark ages known as the ‘Blake’ years, a tea and cigar shop opened at a little strip shop called Royal Pipes and Tobacco (on Boyd). Is it still there? And is Jay?

Back injury
Apparently jeopardizing his playing career (potentially). He’s signed his LOI w/ OU per his h.s. coach, but OU is looking for a way (likely medical scholarship) to honor his scholarship but not have it count against their 85 man total.

Is it still Pistols Firing / Crickets Chirping?
Rumor has it that Texas is about to sign a huge corporate sponsorship deal for the Longhorn Network. They just have to decide which brand represents them best: Dyson, Eureka or Hoover.
No, it is the one with ZERO comments!
Hilarious.

It has one now...

Maybe it's not always a bad idea to send a good message
Others might see it and know that we’ll honor our commitments, unlike some schools in the Southeast.

Well said Character is always stronger than Flashiness, Look at Texasss Top 5 classes every year but can’t do anything with it. Good for Mr.Harlow.
Honoring the commitment is just the right thing to do.

Respectfully
I don’t think honoring the commitment they made when they offered the kid is a waste. I think it’s the stand-up and correct thing to do and I for one am very proud as an OU fan that they’re doing it.
If it doesn’t count against the 85 man total, it’s just money and it’s not like OU doesn’t have plenty to cover it.

and if it does count against the limit
Then it’s a clear signal to everyone on the team that OU takes care of their own.

NCAA Rule on this
Allows OU to honor the scholly, without it counting toward the limit.
I have read elsewhere that this has been approved, and that’s why he’s been added, but I can’t confirm.
