**stares longingly in Doug Little**

Man, I had forgotten that even if they wanted to take a transfer they can’t because they have no numbers and are carrying over Phillips and Crownover for 2021. Jesus. jordan Jeffersoned. Respect.

Blumrick seems like an obvious solution, at least as a receiving threat.

Agreed and it sucks for him. Crazy talented.

I think once people got good measurements on him that he was bound to go up. Landon is bigger than a lot of coaches expected (another late bloomer) and he's got the ability to cover a lot of ground - lots of position flexibility (think Akina style). His brother kicking ass and taking names is only going to help, agreed. I like him better than Cristian Driver long term. If he's the floor in this DB class, then it will be badass. A LOT.

Further down a few of them said that Blake Smith (TE) hurt his knee and is out for the season as well. jesus

Fucking Nahlin. that's some lazy ass shit. He surely just looked at the Clemson S offers and was like "Clemson will pull in Ryan or Davis who are both ranked higher than Mukuba. Because: Clemson". I guess Nahlin could be right in the end because: Clemson. I would be stunned if Ryan didn't end up at LSU and if he didn't end up at LSU it would be Bama. Davis is a tOSU vs. PSU battle. Mukuba is Texas vs. Clemson. I don't doubt Dabo and his staff but they aren't simply plucking Ryan or Davis away and are running 3rd for both.

WHOOP :: Soak in that possible NIL money recruits.

I don't know what their number is for 2021 ( @Doc Sam Beckett might know??) but they only have 15 commits and 0 S. They only have 9 S offers out and 3 of them are uncommitted. (Ryan, Mukuba, and Davis). So go ahead and assume they will be on him to the very end. they did sign 3 S in 2020.

A little piece of him dies every time he has to put in a Texas pick. Delightful.

He only has 1 CB that I can see (OU on 8-18) and no futurecasts on Rivals. Maybe I'm missing something? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

that is amazing.

Assuming Spray Tan is Wiltfong? If so I approve of the nickname. Otherwise I completely agree it's a thing Murray will have to learn. Anything you say to a recruit - you are saying to all the recruits and the other coaches. there's a shitton honestly. First, do you know what the number is for OU in this class? You guys have 14 right now - and signed 23 last year but with 4 guys in from the portal - I don't know where each of the counters go. So do you have numbers to count back so that you can take a full 25, even with the transfers? I've tried to find it but no definitive answer. I am assuming that the way the Gilliam/Burris/Abiara situations played out that OU is feeling the numbers crunch despite only having 14 (officially) in the boat. Safe to assume that Byrd was the silent at the Summit? I think we'll see Farooq, Byrd, Wheaton, and I assume in the end Foster added to the class - which gets it to 18. I imagine you will fight for Leigh until the fax is sent it. Same with Jardin Gilbert, is that a good assumption? Do you have any idea who else will end up with those last few spots? Is Trevin Wallace (the BC LB commit) still a possibility? Is Chase Hattley a possibility or is his status dependent on Gilbert? is there is scenario where they'd take Hattley and Gilbert? the 2022 thread could use some discussion as well - esp with how deep the in-state crop is for Oklahoma in 2022.

Location: Set Fight: imminent

I want you to fight him. With all of my heart. I want you to release every ounce of your hate and beat him with your bare hands.

Says he’s in no hurry and wants to take his visits but all 5 of these school could end up in a numbers crunch either by position or overall - save for maybe Ole Miss.

I should caveat this each time I say but I agree completely and you won't find a person with more respect for Bill Bedenbaugh as an OL coach and developer. I hate that fucker. His lines are consistently among the best in the nation and he can do it with a random assortment of guys with varied skillsets. I truly hoped that Littrell would unfuck his shit and get a big gig and steal Bill B, but no such luck. I also think in the past that OU had some of the best blocking WR in the nation. I think Riley's offense and the guys he's targeted as recruits seem to have changed that dynamic at WR it's just a different scheme and a different type of player and so you get a lot more explosive plays from the WRs and give up a bit of solid ground gaining second level blocking in the run and screen game. I think Riley could supplement some of that loss at WR blocking by taking some bigger RBs that are kind of brutes, not unlike what we've seen from Baylor under Briles. I don't know if he'd give up the playmaking type for the extra power though, it appears not, and his offense is his baby and it's incredibly effective. You are right though, it's all about the defense and it's inability to compete with comparable talent. I think it's partially player issues (as did Grinch), I think it's partially scheme based (SpeedD's downside). Further, I also have a lot of respect for the results that Schmidt had as a S&C coach and absolutely ZERO respect for the job that Bennie Wylie does. I think those factors along with the sheer number of reps and focus that the O receives in Riley's system severely limit the ability of the defense to have a true physical identity. It's best case, by design, is to disrupt and get off the field a few times for quick change offensive opportunities. That's the focus and I get it, esp combined with that potent quick strike offense. It just leads to being less physical - which leads to being the worst RZ defense in the country. I don't think it was ever an OL issue but yeah...

Insert Leper Messiah joke here ________. It's fucking annoying that we can't get at least a couple more Sooner fans to come and actually talk recruiting (like quigley) without going full butthurt and getting crowdsourced. they read surly constanlty and post updates from us all the time, and talk shit about me, but I have yet to neg a single one. (that I can think of) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Daniels hasn't been cleared yet, it appears. Stetson Bennett Era?

Is Charlie Strong the worst coach in Texas program history? Relation to which specific expectations? Right now Herman exceeded my expectations in 2018. By far. In 2019 he failed miserably. He made moves to correct that, now we see what will happen. I'm sure that you feel like Riley made a good move in getting rid of Mike to hire Grinch, right? Now do the 3 years leading up to each of them taking over. Go on. Show me. Pull up the 2 deep and show me. I tip my cap to Bob Stoops on this one. He made winning the BigXII the alpha and omega of the OU program and used that to appease the media and a fan base that never really questioned him for never getting back to the national title game. FFS Mack Brown took Texas to 2 MNC games and won one of them post-Stoops 2000 title and you'll only hear scorn for what a terrible job Mack did with all that wasted talent. The kids being recruited today weren't alive the last time OU played for a national title. IDGAF about BigXII titles because no one fucking cares. I cannot tell you who won the conference (or any of the others) in any random year but I can tell you who won the MNC each and every year. Congrats on your numerous BigXII titles and being appeased by them. That's funny - I swear that while I was in school (starting in 89) that we sent your overrated asses packing for an 8-2-1 run and while I have a hard time remembering because I'm old -- wasn't that run in the last 50 years? I guess OU must've won the rest of the games in the series in the other 40 years to be eating our lunch on the national stage. What is that overall record again? 62-48-5? Crazy. It's amazing that OU has dominated that matchup so much. Oh, wait Texas has the 62 wins? Oh. Well, I'm sure with the 5 straight BigXII titles that OU must be on at least a 5 game run, right? Eating our lunch and all. OU has a 3-2 edge in the RRR? Hmm.
