Obviously I'm gonna look at this through crimson glasses, but it's just really really hard for me to imagine any talented RB who (barring interest from Clemson/Alabama) wouldĀ want to pass on a chance to play in Lincoln Riley's offense. If your goal is being developed and reaching the next level, there's really no better place to be showcased...Ā  again, unless you're Clemson or Alabama.Ā 

Say what you want about our defense (there's no way you'll be more critical than I) the run game has absolutely flourished under Riley.Ā Samaje Perine, Joe Mixon, Rodney Anderson...Ā  all produced big numbers and went to the League. Next up now are Trey Sermon and Kennedy Brooks, both of whom will more than likely end up on NFL rosters. For all the hype our QBs have (deservedly) received, the run game is legit. It's plug and play. Next man up.Ā 

Manning is a DB.

The thing that hurts Oklahoma is the negative recruiting on the defensive side of the ball. Oklahoma has just not put a lot of quality defensive players into the NFL the last 10 years. (Oklahoma needs to take some lessons from Texas on how to sell recruits on nothing but hope šŸ¤£)

Oklahoma was on Manning before he blew up in the ratings. They were the first really ā€œbig timeā€ program to have interest in him.Ā When it was Nebraska and Arizona State negative recruiting who really cared. When schools like Alabama and LSU jump in later in the game and say those things itā€™s different.

If LSU offers Manning then I think he will be gone. It does not seem at this moment like they will have room for him (they cannot have every DB lol).Ā

Oklahoma Sooners land commit from 2021 QB Brock Vandagriff, the No. 1 prospect in the nation according to Rivals. @BrockVandagriff: https://t.co/1f5eXp7t1l https://t.co/b3raxvi0U3

He wonā€™t stay #1 for long now that he committed to Oklahoma.

Ah, well there you go... I can totally see a top-notch DB giving OU the side-eye, at least until Grinch demonstrates the new boss ain't the same as the old boss.Ā

Sounds like the new DC is using an odd tactic recruiting. Ā If true, he might pull in a good class but also cause problems for this fall

He has been that upfront since day #1 on the job.

If you donā€™t like it then donā€™t be the worst pass defense in D1 football.

I understand, but it could backfire on him too. Ā This year could be awful defensively if they start quitting on the man. Ā Then the following year heā€™s starting a bunch of freshman. Ā He could set himself back a couple years if not careful. Ā 

Ā 

Its td one thing to be upfront with recruits, but when you throw your current guys u set the bus it wonā€™t set too well

I think a bunch of freshmen will be starting in 2020 regardless just because they will be better.Ā

I don't know what Grinch could say to the secondary that they haven't already heard from every pundit, blogger, and fan already.Ā 

The defense (especially the secondary) has been historically terrible. Don't like it? Do something about it.Ā 

Get it done, or get gone. You wanna quit? Quit.

Dontae Manning....Sooner fans, how do Yā€™all feel like his recruitment is going? Especially with the rumors of a decommitment and possible flip.

Officially decommitted this morning.

Not a great morning for sports in the State of Oklahoma.

I had read some stories that he was thinking of staying. Be interesting to see which side of the Red River he winds up on.

I think he really wants to be at LSU. If they offer thatā€™s where he will end up.

Finally got around to this.Ā

OU has 7 Heisman Trophy winners; UT has 2.

OU All Time Record = 908-325-53

OU All Time Bowl Record = 29-21-1

UT All Time Record = 908-370-33

UT All Time Bowl Record = 29-24-2

OU AllĀ TimeĀ conference titles = 48

UT All Time conference titles = 32

OU has 80 Consensus All Americans

UT has 60 Consensus All AmericansĀ 

OU has 7 national championshipsĀ 

UT has 4 national championshipsĀ 

OU has the highest win % at .762 since 1945.

OU has the most wins (606) since WWII.
