Is no longer a Sooner.

[Curly Bill]

Says who?

Says who?

Says the coaches that pulled his scholly

Guess that is a recent development as Rivals still has him down for us...

Yeah, unfortunately it went on last night.

He's wanting to take more visits, rumor has it he's REALLY wanting to stay closer to home.

So we pulled his scholly, saying we weren't sure he'd 'mesh' with the rest of the team.

This weeks been fantastic...

[Youngsooner]

man, we're just losing commits left and right. Why does that happen AFTER we win the big 12 championship?

They can look and see how good we were this year, how good some of OUr individual players were, and they see that many of those individual players will be back for another year or two, and some of these kids don't want to compete against that.

...add in how many good young players we have that didn't even play much, if at all, this year and that's a lot of competition. Some kiddos would rather go where the playing time is easier to come by.

I would like to assume that the OU coaches are in on some high profile recruits to close out what started as a terrific year. I don't think all of the recruits leaving is solely a one way street. I feel that the coaching staff has other options and they are being pretty strict on the guys who waffle.

[Curly Bill]

When we get Julio Jones all our defections will be forgotten. :D

[Collier11]

I was gonna say, if it was pulled then I am sure we have someone standing in wait!

[KingDavid]

Crazy. The red sea is parting for young LB's with talent to come in and contribute early. And we have no Brown, no Katoa, and now we lose Hill.

I think we'll get Katoa, now.

[insuranceman_22]

Wow - this one was a complete surprise.....dammit!

[TripleOption14]

Yeah, I was kinda afraid this was going to happen. Its just sooooo hard to get recuits to wanna leave Ohio. Sounds like he wants the thing that EVERY high school player in Ohio wants. That paperwork from the Luckeyes. But im afraid its just not gonna happen imo.

[Salt City Sooner]

If by Luckeyes you mean West Virginia, you're right, because that's where he's now verbaled to.

I wonder if the RR announcement to Meatchicken changes his mind yet again?

[MojoRisen]

Taylor Hill didn't seem like the brightest kid on the block in his interviews- it is too bad otherwise - he is a solid football player.

We shouldn't be loosing recruits this late - what up.... who is in wait if he got his scholly pulled...

[goingoneight]

Hmmm... Rish Rodriguez leaves, OU beats WVU in the Fiesta Bowl convincingly, does he stay at WVU? I still like OUr chances.

[goingoneight]

Ahhh... I see.

So why the pulled scholly? Character? Grades? Other specific need? Trying to land someone better or another hotshot recruit?

[Rhino]

Hill made it known that he was worried about the distance from home to Norman and told the coaches he was thinking of looking around.

Instead of waiting around on him, the coaches told him they were pulling the offer and moving on to other recruits. No reason to have the rug pulled out from us later.

BTW, Hill committed to West Virginia this weekend, then decommitted after Rodriguez left for Michigan.

Ha! I knew it! :D
