QB

Trevor Knight QB 6-3, 200, 4.7

youtu.be/D_wdZ7HmVmA 

It looked like for most of February/March that Gunner Kiel would be the OU QB of choice. He looked like a perfect fit. I’ll admit his passing highlights showed a very accurate QB. OU’s distance and QB depth led Kiel to drop OU, and Josh Heupel went back to his original QB list. However, Heupel rallied by getting Trevor Knight to decommit from ATM and choose OU. I’ll leave the misadventures of Mr. Kiel’s choice for Less Miles to describe. Suffice it to say, Josh is very happy with Trevor being the future Sooner leader. In terms of a comparison, Trevor to me looks like a bigger Colt McCoy with a better arm. Now pretend we can objectively talk about McCoy skills. Knight is very mobile, accurate, does a great job throwing on the run, does a great job continuing to look for WRs before picking up “move the chains” yards rushing.  Trevor had a great senior year with an awesome TD to INT ratio throwing for 27 touchdowns and 2,092 yards with just three interceptions as a senior with 943 yards rushing with 15 TDs on the ground

Quality Rating: A (so much talent and ability for Josh to develop. Based on the all-star games, Knight should have been there instead)

Quantity Rating: A (sign a QB a year)

2011 Preseason Storylines

2011 Preseason Storylines

• First time that I can really recall under Stoops that OU is waiting this late in the year for updates on academic issues. Ronnell Lewis in particular is rumored to be in some sort of academic danger. OU is still waiting on word on Trey Metoyer and Jordan Wade. OU really does not need Metoyer being a free agent all fall and able to sign with anyone else. Especially if OU gets a verbal from DGB, Metoyer could be convinced by another program that OU is too deep at WR. You can never have enough DTs so losing Jordan Wade would be a disappointment, plus it’s not a great year for DTs in OU’s regular recruiting regions.
• Connected to the Ronnell Lewis issue, OU’s weakest point with the reinstatement of Jamell Fleming is at DE. OU really only has a known quantity in Frank Alexander, and if Ronnell Lewis is out the only other DEs with playing time are David King and RJ Washington. King and Washington so far have struggled to make any real impact in their Sooner careers to date. Future DE stars Geneo Grissom and Nathan Hughes haven’t played a snap yet. With the passing threats in the Big 12, a lack of an outside pass rush could become a serious issue. no comments

2012 Recruiting Update 3-1

Recruiting Update 3-1

Verbals for 2012

Kyle Marrs OL 6-6, 310, 5.2  --     www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MHrkW314AM

Alex Ross RB 6-2, 205, 4.5  --    www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLBp2ScFBL0

Sterling Shepard WR 5-10, 180, 4.4

OU’s added their 3^rd verbal commitment with the predicted commitment of Sterling Shepard. Sterling as an OU legacy seemed to be just a matter of time after OU offered. And fortunately Shepard jumped on the offer before too many other offers at his position got sent out. Shepard had a great junior campaign and when Barry Sanders JR went down with an injury, Shepard as the foundation of the whole offense kept Heritage Hall going. The comparisons to Ryan Broyles are going to be hard to contain, and are obvious., the ability to make defenders miss, make after the catch yards. Looking at Shepard’s highlight reel, though you see one big difference mainly Shepard appears to have better breakaway speed, he appears to be faster overall. What you cannot tell is if Sterling can develop Ryan’s hands or ability to find gaps in coverage. But there’s a lot of skill for the OU coaches to develop at WR or even CB down the road.  Right now Shepard is a WR prospect and will be given every shot at that position. He’s too good with the ball in his hands.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2ZGfrXpG_A

While OU added Shepard, some of OU’s targets have verbaled elsewhere

Jordan Richmond LB chose ATM (a real blow, hopefully OU can fill their LB  spot with their top targets or come back to Richmond later in the year)

Thomas Johnson WR chose UT as did Cayleb Jones WR.  UT’s new WR coach Darryl Wyatt is a good recruiter, and UT was obviously pitching immediate playing time with their desperate situation at WR (no playmakers beyond Mike Davis).

Bralon Addison chose OSU. OSU could commit to playing Addison exclusively at WR where was OU was looking at Addison at CB. OU wants to be very clear with ATH type prospects after losing Brandon Carter and Darius Jones late in recruiting when they decided to be WRs.

OU appears to be focusing on some national prospects right now in their evaluations and seeing what level of interest is out there.  This wave of national offers is holding up some offers in Texas as OU evaluates their chances with some elite national kids.

Based on rosters numbers, OU is looking at a class of around 15.  So how are those 15 ships going to be distributed?

QB: 1

RB: 1 (Ross)

OL:  4 (Marrs, any attrition and OU signs at least 5)

TE: 1 (If the right prospect can be found)

WR: 2 (Shepard and ideally DGB)

DT: 1

DE: 2

LB: 2

DB/Ath: 2

Top Ten to Watch  (realistic kids who are listing OU, and fit OU’s needs)
1. Dorial Beckham- Green 6-5, 215. 4.5 Missouri - He’s only the best junior prospect in the country. Julio Jones but bigger or AJ Green but more explosive. Everyone in the world wants Dorial, but OU with Coach Norvell has been there all along for the last two years giving OU a great shot at his difference making WR.
youtu.be/nab_Kdaoqws

2.Gunner Kiel QB 6-4, 210, 4.6 Indiana - Elite 11 attendee as junior last summer.  Has elite passing skills based on his highlight reel, excellent accuracy and good mobility to extend plays or get scrambling yards. Going to be tough to pull him away from ND and the Big Ten schools but he’s already visited OU unofficially. Heupel has to be getting pretty close to naming his shots in terms of recruiting QBs. If you were a young QB prospect where else would you want to go to get ready for the NFL.

youtu.be/dfc9oZRNPfQ

3. Derek David LB  6-3, 225, 4.5 Texas -  I don’t know what the Texas rivals guys are smoking ranking David outside the top ten. David who is technically verbaled to Texas Tech is looking around at other colleges and appears to have a high interest in OU. David is probably the best defender in Texas not named Mario Edwards (who right now is not listing OU). Some rumors about David’s academic woes but signing day is a year away.  Lots of time for kids to patch up academics holes if the commitment is there.

youtu.be/Os9oGkiNBS0

4. Avery Young OL 6-6, 270, 5.1 Florida – Best OL prospect in Florida, and a potential top 30 player nationally. Young’s been up front in listing OU as a favorite. Stealing him from the SEC and Florida State seems almost impossible, but right now OU is in the hunt.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdTge9OnY08
 
5. Royce Jenkins-Stone LB 6-2, 225, 4.6 Michigan – I cannot remember the last time OU signed a player from Michigan (I’m afraid it’s Bernard Hall), but Stone has been offered and has been very clear that OU is a favorite and will make his top five list.

youtu.be/3c7Tgk9bCMM

6. Ty Darlington OC 6-3, 260, 4.9 Florida – You can never have too many OL and since OU didn’t sign a center prospect last year, signing a pure center prospect this year makes a lot of sense.  I think a good foundation to avoiding down OL years like 2005/2009 is avoiding a freshman at Center. Darlington is a listed as a top 30 player in Florida and might be the best center prospect in the country, and could figure in the battle to replace Habern/Ikard down the road.

youtu.be/Y8UFzdkwL-k

7. Geno Smith CB 6-0, 170, 4.5 Georgia – Top five player in Georgia which puts Smith as a top 100 player nationally. Only a matter of time only Coach Martinez’s connection to Georgia pays off for the Sooners in recruiting. Smith would be a great start, an elite CB which OU missed out on last year.

youtu.be/JreV2AvRzvQ

8. Jordan Watkins DT 6-5, 275, 4.8 Georgia  - A top defensive tackle prospect in the state of the Georgia and the SEC. Watkins would be ideal for OU since he could play 3-4 DE or 4-3 DT. OU will have to battle the entire SEC to get a visit but Willie Martinez has connections at Woodward Academy and kids from that Atlanta private school choose universities from around the country so it’s not all UGA./Bama/Auburn. His highlight reel is pretty awesome.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBN4ldz1lNA

9. LaDarren McNeil DB/S  6-1, 185, 4.5 Texas – Best safety in Texas according to some rankings and OU did not sign a pure safety last year if Franklin Shannon moves to OLB. McNeil has great range in coverage to be a Brodney Pool type center field safety for OU. Listing OU, UT and others.

10.  John Micheal McGee OG 6-4, 265, 4.9 Texas – Top OL prospect in Texas projects at OG but also has the mobility to play OG and OC down the road. Has camped at OU and Patton has done a great job building that relationship. HS is a big time UT pipeline traditionally.

youtu.be/dsyTDcgQMOY

Others to watch:

- Charles Tapper 6-4, 245, 4.7 DE Maryland -  OU’s top target at DE?  He’s listing OU among a bunch of other schools.

- Laith Harlow 6-5, 230, 4.7 TE Florida – TE offers have not really been going out, but Harlow might be the first offer. He looks like an excellent TE working middle of the field and shows excellent quickness on some TE screens.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeSN9oGp6lM

- Noor Davis 6-4, 225, 4.6 OLB Florida – Noor is the type of OLB who could be fit into either a 3-4 scheme for OU or in a 4-3 where on 3^rd down he’s a stand up pass rusher like Ronnell Lewis. Great range and speed in his highlights

www.youtube.com/watch?v=exPBpMurISk

- Evan Boehm 6-3, 290, 5.0 OG Missouri – After McGee, Boehm is the best OG on OU’s board. He’s really close to the top 10.

youtu.be/dj-qmUGaQnE

- Simon Goines 6-7, 270, 5.0 OT Texas – An OT prospect with a huge upside at the position. Only Avery Young being on OU’s radar kept him out of the top 10. His potential is that high.

youtu.be/7QBekg23kfM

- Reginald Davis 6-1, 185, 4.4 ATH/WR Texas -  New name that just appeared. Has an OU offer, highlight footage is very impressive in terms of top end speed.

youtu.be/iHm97ftWQ1g

- Michael Starts 6-6, 270, 5.0 OT Texas – Starts and Goines are great OT prospects. Goines seems more interested in OU right now while Starts might be the better prospect. It’s a great year for OL in Texas.

- Blake Belcher 6-6, 275, 5.1 OT OK – Best OL prospect in state, OU is still evaluating Belcher and OU’s number crunch might be an impact here.

- Devonte Fields 6-4, 220, 4.7 DE Texas – One of the several players vying for the ranking as the second best DE in Texas behind Mario Edwards. Great speed off the corner. His Rivals footage at DE is just awesome. OU should be going all out for this kid by my amateur opinion.

- Brian Nance 6-3, 220, 4.6 OLB Texas – Teammate of recent OU signee Nila Kneubuhl, Nance has attended OU summer camps and is definitely in the LB mix for the Sooners. His list of offers is becoming very big and with a lot of national and Pac 10 interest.

- Trevor Knight 6-3, 190, 4.7 QB Texas – Mobile QB with a very good arm. OU is evaluating Knight and if things slow down with Kiel watch the Sooners to offer.

2012 Recruiting Update 2-17

Recruiting Update 2/17

Verbals for 2012

Kyle Marrs OL 6-6, 310, 5.2

Alex Ross RB 6-2, 205, 4.5

OU is off to a great start in 2012 recruiting with two early verbals.

Kyle Marrs verbaled literally right after signing day and has been an OL target for OU since last fall. Marrs has the size and mobility to play either inside at RG or outside at RT.  Marrs verbal probably allows OU to focus on pure OG and OT kid with their remaining OL slots.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MHrkW314AM

Alex Ross might be the best player in the state of Oklahoma for 2012. Barry Sanders JR has the name value, but Ross is bigger and faster and could easily end up as a top five national RB if his continues to progress as a RB after playing the position part time as a junior. Ross could be the big power back to compliment the other RBs that OU has signed lately.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLBp2ScFBL0

So OU once again appears to be scholarship limited unless some wave of massive attrition happens.  Based on rosters numbers, OU is looking at a class of around 12 to 15.  So how are those 15 ships going to be distributed?

QB: 1

RB: 1 (Ross)

OL:  4 (Marrs, any attrition and OU signs at least 5)

TE: 0 (don't really see any prospects right now)

WR: 2

DT: 1

DE: 2

LB: 2

DB/Ath: 2

Top Ten to Watch  (realistic kids who are listing OU, and fit OU's needs)

1.     Dorial Beckham- Green 6-5, 215. 4.5 Missouri - He's only the best junior prospect in the country. Julio Jones but bigger or AJ Green but more explosive.

8.     Thomas Johnson WR/CB 5-11, 185, 4.5 Texas – The latest Skyline prospect and the ideal slot WR replacement down the road for Broyles/Franks/Stills. Would be a great WR combo with DGB and Metoyer in the future. Seems down to OU and UT with both teams having Skyline alums doing recruiting.

youtu.be/wFGqrEFi618

9.     LaDarren McNeil DB/S  6-1, 185, 4.5 Texas – Best safety in Texas according to some rankings and OU did not sign a pure safety last year if Franklin Shannon moves to OLB. McNeil has great range in coverage to be a Brodney Pool type center field safety for OU. Listing OU, UT and others.

youtu.be/dsyTDcgQMOY

Others to watch:

Sterling Shepard 5-11, 175, 4.5 WR/ATH OKC – OU legacy and has been offered by OU. Talked about taking some time to visit other campuses in recent Newsok.com interview. I hope that he doesn't wait too long.  OU has at least two other offers to similar players and limited scholarship room (Bralon Addison and Reginald Davis).

youtu.be/M2ZGfrXpG_A

Evan Boehm 6-3, 290, 5.0 OG Missouri – After McGee, Boehm is the best OG on OU's board. He's really close to the top 10.

Simon Goines 6-7, 270, 5.0 OT Texas – An OT prospect with a huge upside at the position. Only Avery Young being on OU's radar kept him out of the top 10. His potential is that high.

youtu.be/7QBekg23kfM

Cayleb Jones 6-2, 195, 4.5 WR Texas – Only DBG keeps Jones from the list. In any other year, Jones would be an awesome number one WR on OU's board.

youtu.be/NeUYnyBXqnc

Jordan Richmond 6-2,225, 4.7 LB Texas  - Teammate of Mario Edwards, Richmond looks like a great every down MLB for the OU defense. ATM is probably OU's biggest competition here.

youtu.be/FxZ4DNq8New

Bralon Addison 5-10, 180, 4.5 ATH Texas – Brother of Jasmine Hartman, Addison could be a lock down cornerback or an excellent slot WR.

youtu.be/9UrKeWdGflA

Reginald Davis 6-1, 185, 4.4 ATH/WR Texas -  New name that just appeared. Has an OU offer, highlight footage is very impressive in terms of top end speed.

youtu.be/iHm97ftWQ1g

Michael Starts 6-6, 270, 5.0 OT Texas – Starts and Goines are great OT prospects. Goines seems more interested in OU right now while Starts might be the better prospect. It's a great year for OL in Texas.

Blake Belcher 6-6, 275, 5.1 OT OK – Best OL prospect in state, OU is still evaluating Belcher and OU's number crunch might be an impact here.

Devonte Fields 6-4, 220, 4.7 DE Texas – One of the several players vying for the ranking as the second best DE in Texas behind Mario Edwards. Great speed off the corner. His Rivals footage at DE is just awesome. OU should be going all out for this kid by my amateur opinion.

Brian Nance 6-3, 220, 4.6 OLB Texas – Teammate of recent OU signee Nila Kneubuhl, Nance has attended OU summer camps and is definitely in the LB mix for the Sooners

Trevor Knight 6-3, 190, 4.7 QB Texas – Mobile QB with a very good arm. OU is evaluating Knight and if things slow down with Kiel watch the Sooners to offer.

Recruiting Wrapup 2011

Recruiting Wrapup 2011

Here's the link to the player bios on the official site. It has their stats and various rankings from the myriad of services. In addition, that site has highlight videos. As I review the positions, I'll provide links to the youtube videos available for the new Sooners.

QB:
Kendal Thompson 6-2, 175, 4.6
Archie Bradley 6-4, 210, 4.7
Thompson is the son of former OU QB Charles Thompson but brings a different QB game than his option/wishbone dad. Thompson was the first verbal in OU's class offered before signing day 2010 was in the books. Heupel identified Kendal as his QB for 2011 very early and Heupel's been tutoring Kendal at OU's summer camps for at least 3 years. So Josh knows Kendal very well. Kendal was hurt part of his senior year and lost several key play makers (current Sooners Julian Wilson and Austin Haywood), so his numbers are not going to dazzle you. However, his junior year was great, Kendal completed 166-of-259 passes for 2,793 yards and 29 touchdowns while rushing for 466 yards and 10 touchdowns. Kendal is a pass first, run to keep a play alive, then run QB. He'd be deadly in a goal line offense with run/pass options out of a spread look, especially the Sooners 3 back "Pony" offense. Thompson is already on campus and will go thru spring workouts which is great because Thompson badly needs to add some weight to his frame. Thompson was a huge pickup giving OU for the first time since Bomar "left" 4 scholarship QBs for spring ball. Thompson is also depth protection against a QB transfer depending upon the backup battle this spring.
I'm going to link to the youtube footage of his game against Jenks last year in the state playoffs, Kendal to me looks like a Pat White type play maker at QB.
The wildcard at QB is Archie Bradley from Broken Arrow, like Kendal Bradley was an Elite 11 QB recruit. But Bradley is also a top 10 project pick in the MLB draft. So Bradley will sign with OU to play baseball this spring, wait to be drafted and if he does enroll he will redshirt in football and play baseball. Now, Bradley is going to be looking at a big signing bonus, but at the Elite 11 camp a number of counselors/coaches told Bradley to stick with football and he has an elite NFL QB arm (can make every throw) and frame. MLB probably wins out here, but it won't be until August we know which way Bradley decides. One last note, Bob's only signed two in state QBs, Jason White and Sam Bradford (another multi-sport athlete), both Bradley and Thompson are in state QBs.

Kendal Thompson State Semis v Jenks

Quality Grade: A (both QBs have massive untapped potential)
Quantity Grade: A (even if OU only ends up with Thompson getting a QB a year is vital to OU's program)

RB:
Brandon Williams 6-1, 200, 4.4
(going to list Danzel Williams under Athletes)
Last year OU signed two great RBs and both guys had their moment their freshman year for OU. It seems impossible to think that OU would be able to sign another difference making RB with the talent already on campus but that's what OU did. Right after signing day 2010, it appeared that OU's RB choice would come down to Herschel Sims or Malcolm Brown with OU never really a player for Aaron Green the other big time RB for 2011. However, as February turned into March it was clear that OU felt like Brandon Williams was the best RB in Texas. OU aggressively pursued Williams even after his early verbal to Baylor and after getting Williams, RB was effectively shut down (OU realized that Malcolm Brown was leaning to UT and not worth pursuing in case Williams decided to open things back up). Williams had a ridiculous senior year, and is now regarded as one of the top five RBs in the country by just about every service. What separated Williams from 5 to 6 very good RBs in Texas this year? His home run speed. Williams has that kind of burst that OU has not had at RB since Demarco Murray broke his knee cap in the most expensive failed on side kick in Sooner history (derailed Adron Tennell's career and adjusted the course of Murray's career). In addition, he's an excellent receiver out of the backfield, and runs without excellent power. He's not going to be AD, but in a year or two when he's up to 210 how does Darren McFadden like sound?

Brandon Williams Highlights

Quality Grade: A+
Quantity Grade: A+ (Williams is already on campus developing giving OU a tremendously talented young RB core)

WR:
Trey Metoyer 6-3, 200, 4.45
Kameel Jackson 6-1, 190, 4.48
OU's already impressive WR core gets two more weapons. The headliner of the entire class is either Metoyer or Williams. Trey is easily the best WR in Texas, and arguably the best WR prospect in the country. OU's Jay Norvell did a great job recruiting Metoyer since his sophomore year and Trey's family early on realized that OU's offense is a great attack for WRs (hello Rueben Randle??). Metoyer is the big elite WR that OU's amazing passing attack the last 3 years has been missing. Metoyer despite double and triple teams posted sick numbers as a junior and a senior. Metoyer has Malcolm Kelly like hands and better overall speed and quickness. OU's WR core better improve over spring and summer because Metoyer is coming for a starting spot. A starting WR rotation of Stills, Broyles, and Metoyer has been going thru recruitniks minds all January when not thinking about a hypothetical Stills, Metoyer, Dorial Green-Beckham rotation in 2012, Beckham at 6-5, 215, 4.5 is the best WR for 2012 and OU is right there. Jackson was actually OU's second verbal after Kendal Thompson. Kameel had a great sophomore year but h
