1407
While this number might not mean much to most Sooner fans, it has become increasingly significant for the Sooners football team. 1407 is the number of miles you would travel in a vehicle if you were driving to Lackawanna Community College from the University of Oklahoma.
Located in Scranton, PA, the Falcons are become a hotbed for junior college transfers. Want proof, then look no further at who has signed/committed to the Sooners from their in the last two classes.
2016
3-Star OL Ashton Julius 6-6/330
2-Star LB Kapri Doucet 6-2/225
2-Star LB Emmanuel Beal 6-2/215
2017
3-Star RB/ATH Marcelias Sutton 5-10/195
And while you might think that these guys are just depth chart fillers, here is what is being said from the Sooner's coaches

Who says JUCOs can't find spot in rotation? Austin Roberts, Kapri Doucet & Emmanuel Beal get love from Bob Stoops for early camp play.

Kapri Doucet and Caleb Kelly both impressive at the "sam nickel position" according to Stoops.

Basically to summarize, I look for both Emmanuel Beal and Kapri Doucet to become more than solid contributors before their time in Norman is up. They should become fan favorites as well.
