OU wasn't even getting visits from these guys under LR.  (Said he couldn't recruit to Norman but OK.)

I suspect the kid from Missouri flip by signing day, too.

 

It feels good to have the ability to get top of the line D-Line again. Amazing what can happen when Grinch isn’t here to have these guys playing at 260-280 and getting blown off the ball.

Nigel Smith and Zina Umeozulu share a lot of similarities from a peaked sophomore year and have seen their ranking steadily drop since standpoint.

Yeah but Zina is committed to us so he has more potential and better frame haha

He didn’t do a horns down in his commitment edit. Are standards slipping in Norman?

He's APART from other ou players.  He's eloquently choosing to start a new tradition of mutual respect between the two schools.  That's clearly it.  I for one am impressed by his intelligence and maturity.

Yeah we’re past the horns down shit. We are on to better things 

I feel like your one shot for a legitimate battle test ahead of the Red River game is today, and that’s iffy. Y’all feeling good?

We’ll see. Seemed quite improved, but hard to say based on the competition. Looks to me like makings of a 10-win team are there. The Texas game should be a much better duel this year. 
 

SMU has some legit playmakers so we’ll see how the defense holds up.

I laid a little cheddar on the boys. I think SMU has a decent offense, but a shitty defense. We should be able to move the ball pretty good. Our safety’s will be something to watch.

I think Smith just outgrew the elite DE projections.  Supposedly he's already pushing 270 lbs at Melissa.  If so then I think he adds weight and slides inside in Norman and probably becomes a high ceiling DT.

Okoye committed yesterday. 

I still can't get over the homeschool thing. I am sure he is a good prospect, but his film must have been hysterical going against 180 pound linemen with coke bottle glasses and a back brace.

That dude's been unreasonably obsessed with us (look at that profile pic) when we've barely thought about him. I'd say it's weird, but he is from Oklahoma.

I don’t really want to start a 2026 OU recruiting thread any time soon, but OU got a commitment from a 2026 RB. 

Who? I don’t feel like looking it up.

Dude is having a big year for Odessa HS right now. They beat Permian last weekend. He’s 6’6 and pretty athletic, probably the most underrated get of their class. Sucks he’s going to OU. But I didn’t root for Juaquin Iglesias or Zack Sanchez and I’m not going to start now. No turning back once you’re a Sooner.

OU's offensive line commits in this class rank #532, #623, #658 and #1190.

If you sort the rankings by average player rating they would check in at 17th in the country. The class has some bread to it.

I watched Permian play a few weeks back. Their skill players are not good and their OL and DL are not impressive in any way.

Doesn't mean Odessa is bad, but Permian is not much of a litmus test.

Dillon Gabriel still has a year of eligibility. Does he go, or stay a learn a new offense in year 6?

If Venables let’s Jackson Arnold leave for one extra year of future car salesman Dillon Gabriel…L.O.L

You make jokes but let’s not pretend that dynamic doesn’t exist here as well.

No it doesn’t. Not even the same universe

Ok. How is it not the same universe? Enlighten us. 
 

An entrenched starter returning that might give a highly touted 5 star pause. Enlighten us on the differences in the dynamic in question.

For starters, the returning starter for Texas is also a 5 star and future high draft pick. That’s different than a midget blocking Arnold.
