Courtney Garnett visited OU two weeks ago and many thought that he would commit while on the visit. He left Norman uncommitted, but most considered the Sooners to be the heavy favorite. Tonight, Bob Stoops was in Courtney Garnett's home tonight and his visit was a resounding success as Garnett just tweeted to the world that he committed to Sooners.
