The List

[LittleElmSooner]

It's official.. Blake Bell starts us off.

[IronHorseSooner]

Next is Quentin Hayes...

[Mjcpr]

Lake out of Jenks may sign elsewhere. Does that mean a surprise signing?

This link says that Jefferson has decommited or am i reading it wrong? Does it mean he turned some other team down?

[IronHorseSooner]

It looks like he won't qualify from the chatter. Maybe the surprise will be Christian Jones?

[StoopTroup]

I always get a bit of a chuckle when fans say stuff like a HS player turned us down.

There are folks who seek to be great and folks who feel their path to greatest might not be playing for one of the best Football Schools in the Nation. If they go elsewhere...so be it. I'll take a kid who dreams to be a Sooner over a kid on the fence.

Jefferson's here and is in classes as we speak. Those guys were the early enrollees. The guys below are the verbals, but yet to sign.

[MojoRisen]

Jefferson is already in classes -

[IronHorseSooner]

19 have signed. Of those left:

Clay (West Coast, will likely be later in the day)
Stills (See above)
Peterson
D. Williams
Haynes
Favors
Finch
Franks
Powell
Lake (see previous posts)

[IronHorseSooner]

Peterson and D. Williams signed since that post, eight are left.

[SoonerMom2]

http://www.soonersports.com/sports/m-footbl/archive/2010_signing_day.html is where there is an up to the minute list. I refreshed the page at 9:33 and there was a new addition. OU is putting the names on line as soon as they are received.

[SoonerMom2]

Peterson and D. Williams signed since that post, eight are left.

It is amazing how fast they get them on line with their pictures and details -- OU has been well prepared for this day!

[UTgolfer]

You guys getting Corey Nelson?

[madillsoonerfan5353]

Im glad Jefferson signed just watch a video he's pretty good! He reads plays good and has SWAGGER! :D I know that the stars don't mean squat, Aaron Colvin looks better than a three star to me! But i'm the guy he thought that some1 thats in school was not gonna sign with us!

:gary:

[setem]

I get a text from twitter every time soonersports updates a signee.

I hope we get a surprise today! I think this WR class is going to be stellar as is! We need a elite road grater and a iron leg for a kicker. I still do not know why they have not let Kenny try kicking he was a All-American as a punter and kicker in the juco ranks!

[OU_PhD]

Nelson to OU

[soonerfan28]

link?

[Dizzle Shizzle]

link?
ESPN had it on their blog, said his parents signed the letter

[NormanPride]

Yeah, Nelson has said he's coming here. Nice!

[soonerfan28]

ESPN had it on their blog, said his parents signed the letter

Glad to hear that.

[IronHorseSooner]

Holy guacamole! My A&M bud will be pizzed! He was the guy that they were banking on turning around their D!

[CarolinaSoonerFan]

Doesn't look like the letter for Nelson has been sent in yet...still not showing on soonersports.

[IronHorseSooner]

Yeah, Rivals doesn't have it listed either. ESPN has him as a verbal to us. Replace Lake with Nelson, that would still have us at 29.

[BillyBall]

Corey Nelson reminds me of the Ryan Broyles saga.

[soonerfan28]

Or the Travis Lewis switch on signing day. I know Lewis didn't go back and forth but he did sign after being committed to Nebraska

[MrJimBeam]

Corey Nelson reminds me of the Ryan Broyles saga.

If he turns out half the player that would be a good thing.

[OklahomaTuba]

Just keep him away from the gas pumps.

[IronHorseSooner]

Or the Travis Lewis switch on signing day.

I never knew that story. I'm familiar with the Broyles story. What happened?

[OU_PhD]

A&M lost two of their top recruits this morning, one to LSU, one to OU... and the day isn't over yet. LOL @ Aggie

[NormanPride]

Same with OSU, I think. Barnett to Arkie and Robinson to Tulsa.

[soonerfan28]

I believe that Lewis decommitted from Nebraska on signing day and signed w/OU.

[soonerfan28]

Favors signed at 9:54. Didn't see it anywhere.

[boomermagic]

Just keep him away from the gas pumps.

Why don't you use this as your signature instead ? Just curious ? :D It's from the same website you have up there..



"Nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face, so what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills, you know. He's risky." -- Barack Obama

[NormanPride]

Texags is MELTING THE **** DOWN over this. Priceless stuff.

Mr. Nelson, if you read message boards, head over there and see you made the right choice coming here. And watch your ACLs when we play down there!

[Rhino]

Trey Franks signed - 10:19am

[boomermagic]

A&M lost two of their top recruits this morning, one to LSU, one to OU... and the day isn't over yet. LOL @ Aggie

Couldn't happen to more deserving folks.. Unless it was the horns.. :D

[IronHorseSooner]

Franks just signed. He's another WR speedster.

[OklahomaTuba]

Is Nelson signed yet?

[ouleaf]

I saw that video on Colvin too....possible PR down the road maybe??? The video didn't show much about his Man Coverage ability though....He did read the QB well and had good closing speed to get to the ball and make a play

[Rhino]

Waiting LOIs from Powell, Clay, Finch, Haynes and maybe Nelson.

And, of course, Stills once the NCAA clears him.

[Mjcpr]

Haynes is in now.

[badger]

Like previously posted, up-to-minute signing list here at SS.com (http://www.soonersports.com/sports/m-footbl/archive/2010_signing_day.html)

Word outta Tulsa is that OSU has lost a few that they thought they had up through yesterday, including Thomas Roberson (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/article.aspx?subjectid=369&articleid=20100202_93_0_Unionw201136) (to Tulsa) and Calvin Bennett (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/article.aspx?subjectid=369&articleid=20100203_93_0_Asourc71811) (to Arky), so my guess is OP.com is in full meltdown mode.

Anyway, if you're interested in how our little sister school is doing, their official signing page is here. (http://www.okstate.com/ot/nsd2010.html)

The school that seems to be stealing both OU and OSU's recruits, Arky, does not have a up-to-date signing page. Must be an SEC thing???

EDIT: Also, Tress Way's little bro was among TU's signees today. You can check out an up-to-date list on Tulsa here. (http://www.tulsahurricane.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/signing-day-2010.html)

[SCxxSOONER]

rivals lists corey nelson as an OU commit now

[MiccoMacey]

Same with OSU, I think. Barnett to Arkie and Robinson to Tulsa.

To be fair, Robinson was a Tulsa commit since his junior year (I believe)...at least for some time.

He changed his mind a few days ago when OSU offered him...he said he got caught up in the name of a bigger school coming after him...that sort of stuff.

He had a day or two to re-thing things and said he felt better about Tulsa, so he switched back.

He was an OSU commit for only a very small time frame.

[Mjcpr]

Haynes is in now.

And Finch.

[boomermagic]

Finch is on board now..

[MiccoMacey]

Finch is in!!!

[SCxxSOONER]

The reason for stills not signing his LOI is it grades or his credit hours that allow him to be on campus early?

[NormanPride]

Thanks for the background. Sounds like a good kid that wants a good education. Maybe he realized that sheep weren't his thing. :D

Awaiting on SoonerSports:

Nelson, Stills, Clay, Powell

[OU_PhD]

Cobbs not signed yet?

[badger]

Cobbs not signed yet?

You know, on second thought, you might be onto something. Check rivals. (http://texas.rivals.com/commitlist.asp) Everyone's signing for UT except him.

[SCxxSOONER]

i wonder if cobbs ends up elsewhere?

[HBick]

Any idea why on this list, Stills is not on it?

I thought he was already enrolled no?

[LittleElmSooner]

rivals lists corey nelson as an OU commit now

SoonerSports still does not have Nelson listed. It does give the caveat that they are only listing once the paperwork is received and cleared by the proper NCAA authorities....

[CarolinaSoonerFan]

Nelsons in on Soonersports now

[LittleElmSooner]

Nelson is now listed on SoonerSports.com!!!

Poor Aggy

[Partial Qualifier]

Nice!

[Frozen Sooner]

Nelson will be sending his paperwork in with Powell at a ceremony after school.

[BigTime1]

Yeah Rhino can you completely explain the Stills situation

[badger]

Nelson is now listed on SoonerSports.com!!!

Poor Aggy

Now, now, the Aggies still have Mister Jones! (http://blogs.aggieathletics.com/signingday/football/mister-jones-running-back/)

Really? Really? That guy's name is MISTER Jones?!?

Oh... and you're referring to Aggy, not Aggie :D

[KantoSooner]

We should be very, very pleased with this class. There's really something for everyone: size, speed, athleticism. I am way stoked.

[BigTime1]

and how come a blank bar for a commit just dropped off soonersports? There were 3 spots left after nelson and now there are only 2

[sooner518]

Powell and Clay are in

Stills won't appear there until he's cleared by the NCAA, which will be sometime in the approximate future.

There are a lot of anti-Nelson threads over at texags right now. They meltdown more than OP and in more funny, epic proportions.

Losing :rcmad: was really a program killer for them, and ensured that OU would never lose to them again so long as the football gods were angry... and they are obviously still livid if they can't pull it off in minor bowl mania :D

We really need to beat Texas so we can get more of the five-stars in the next few classes. That's one thing aggie has over us recently.

[IronHorseSooner]

I am really excited about this class! Could you imagine this OL for the next 4 years:

LT: Thompson
LG: Irwin
C: Woods
RG: Shead
RT: Williams

Throw in Haywood at TE and Millard at FB, along with those 2 backs, and the 5 WRs, there's a reason Blake Bell was the first to fax in his LOI. Throw in that he won't have to face off against Grissom; he's probably the happiest guy in the State of Kansas right now.

[setem]

The Aggie meltdown is hilarious muwahahaha! I know we would be mad if a kid dropped on signing day but I highly doubt we would go bat **** crazy like they are.

This class is gonna be a good one. I had a dream last night. I dreamt I was a dove flying over the sea...and then I dove into the ocean... and I swam with the dolphins. I was two animals joined as one...which meant...good things are coming. Good things.

EDIT: Just linked the entire football thread. Seriously. It's all priceless material, much like I'm sure OP.com was priceless when Broyles signed with OU after being a Poke commit for so long. Aggies didn't hedge their bets and lost, apparently.Now they're stuck with people they signed to ensure Nelson's signing, too! :D


Our new biggest rival is now...OU!


great, another rival we never beat.

EDIT: Also, Barnett's bailing on OSU is now official. (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/article.aspx?subjectid=369&articleid=20100203_93_0_Asourc71811). Pokes are trying to play victim by saying that he ripped off an OSU pullover to reveal an Arky one... actually, his school colors are black and orange, so don't have too much sympathy :D

It seems like Barnett said a while back that he had something big planned for signing day. It may have been on the local news but I'm pretty sure it was Barnett

Classic post over at Texags:

The thread title was "Our New Biggest Rival...OU"

The best response EVAR was: FPS Doug "Maybe we can staying within 50 of them this year and maybe even beat them for the second time since 1998. Great rivalry."

Ja, you're right - follow the barnett link and i think it's in that article.

I honestly don't think Calvin had his mind made up until recently though, even considering that statement. Still a teen... all these recruits are. It's hard for them to make a decision like this that will bless or haunt them for the rest of their lives.

[OK2U]

Signed with Utah.
12:52 ET today:
http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/18899/utah-loses-one-waiting-on-two

Utah has lost the commitment of Calvin Coolidge High (Washington D.C.) athlete Avery Williams, who has signed a national letter of intent with West Virginia, ESPN affiliate Web site EerSports.com is reporting.

Williams, the 5-foot-10, 170-pound three-star recruit, played several positions this past season, including running back and wide receiver. He was the eighth three-star commitment for the Utes, but had been a West Virginia lean earlier in the fall.

While this is a blow to the Utes, good news might be on the way. Utah is waiting to hear from Fullerton College offensive tackle John Cullen, who announced that he would not sign with USC and instead would pick between the Utes and Oklahoma.

Utah is also awaiting word from Brighton High (Utah) defensive tackle Ricky Heimuli, who is choosing between the Utes, UCLA, Oregon and Washington.

[badger]

Do we have a scholly available for this John Cullen?

Also, for those of you holding out for Cobbs, he is with UT. He had his little ceremony up here and everything.

[badger]

I think that's why Kansas recruits came to OU, even with legendary Snyder and rising Buff dude at KSU and KU, respectively. I think that's why top recruits from the Tulsa area chose to leave state. They're teens. They want to see what life outside Oklahoma has to offer.

It's also probably why Nelson and other Texas state recruits come to OU, LSU, Florida, etc etc. I know it will pizz native texans (especially those that are fans of A&M and UT) off a little to see a five-star cross the border, especially to a Big 12 rival, but it's a teen you're talking about.

[w0lfe]

You will be on Special Teams your fish year, and when you come to Kyle Field you will get ear holed by one Aggie and the other takes your legs out from under you. As you lay down on the Kyle Field turf staring at the sky, think about your future and hope Big Red Imports will still employ you to do nothing the rest of your life now that your playing career is over.

After 5 years, idiots are still bringing up Big Red Imports, lol

[Collier11]

Stills still hasnt signed? I thought he was on campus...

Anyone else think Bronson Irwin will leave here an All American?

[recemp]

Little nervous about going to the AM board. They wanted to sign me up, but I figured I'd be on some 'no fly' list.
Another link got me in.
I had to look up Jeff Fuller. I guess his 60 yds got lost in that 65-10 game. What did we do nasty to him? He didn't want to play for Fran and switched when Sherman got there
Classy group over there want to 'blow up' Nelson at Kyle field. Is it me or is AM the chippiest team we play?
And what did Sherman say about Nelson's mama?

[soonerfan28]

I think Irwin could be a 4 years starter and the way the OU line played last year he'll have a chance this fall. I'm not sure but I would guess he's going to play guard. I look for some big holes up the middle and yes I think he'll be an All-American.

Nelson has screwed himself. At A&M he could have become a diamond. At blowU, he will just be another rock on a gravel road. He probably will be scout squad material until his Jr year. "

Glad to see they believe in the quality of players they have in regards to talent and competition. go to aggieland and start or go to OU, learn, develop and know what it is to compete and earn your job....

[badger]

Nothing against most Ag fans. However, if it were solely about playing time, why wouldn't players go to UNT or UTEP or SMU? All are Div. 1 schools (in the state of texas!!!!!!!!) and would provide immediate opportunities for playing time.

Why, then, do recruits not choose to go to smaller schools where they can play immediately and play often (hell, they could probably stay on the field 100 percent of the time at some of those minor Div. 1 programs!), and instead opt for programs that play for conference and national championships virtually every year?

Why, oh why? :D

[Collier11]

Press conf about to start...

[Collier11]

Said it was nice to have all sigs in early, still waiting on one guy to get cleared by the clearing house...

[Collier11]

Talks about how strong to program is that we can recruit from Cali to Florida and beyond and pull in another natl class

[Collier11]

Said Jarrett Lake and He mutually decided after Christmas to break ties, just couldnt talk about it due to ncaa issues

[Collier11]

all expected to qualify

[Collier11]

Nelson became interested after bowl game so they went after him and he told coach BV that he would commit lastnite

[Collier11]

Blake more athletic than any QB we have signed before

[Collier11]

will run 6-7 times a game when he plays

[Collier11]

Said he would like to ask the same experts who are criticizing Blake bell for being too raw what they thought about Sam Bradford a few years ago

[Collier11]

says his "guys" got him on facebook as a better way to keep in touch with recruits, im assuming his players

[Collier11]

Of the guys on campus, Woods and Irwin are doing good, Mcclain is hurt but recovering, Jefferson is doing well...not a whole lot there

[Collier11]

Javon Harris might be a RB, not sure yet. Jonathon Miller still not recovered and Harris interested in RB are the reasons for the possible change

[Collier11]

Close to signing Willie martinez as a coach later today

[Collier11]

Willie with DBs and BJW to DEs, as expected

[KantoSooner]

Two gems: The guy who bags on us as "Camal" smokers. Nice slam. I feel really put down by someone who can't spell Camel.
The next was the AgTrucker or something of that nature who, among other endearments, referred to us as "meth-heads". I wonder what he thinks the stereotype of truckers is?
In any event, good value for the entertainment dollar! Thanks for the linkie.

[Collier11]

Habern will miss some spring practice, jarvis jones, adrian taylor, jonathon miller(be back after spring break maybe), wort is back, mensick will be back

[Collier11]

Sam feels great, no issues at all so far

[Collier11]

Stoops will stay involved with DBs even after willie gets here

[stoopified]

About 20 some years ago(last few years of Swittzer regime) I got all got up in Recruiting and sweating over HS players.Then came the Gibbs years where Gibbs would continually get high ranked classes and we accomplished nothing.I further drifted away from serious attention to recruiting during the remainder of the LOST DECADE/

Bob Stoops bringing OU back to the top with a bunch of AVERAGE recruits and walk-ons cemented my conviction that recruiting,especially ranking-wise is over-rated.Bob has had higher ranking classes since but no NC.My conclusion: OU may not get the top ranked players or classes but with OUr coaching we will still compete for conference and national prominence.I am happy about the recruits we have signed but I will be the first to say I have NO IDEA who will be the studs and who will be the duds.I trust Bob and staff to take care of that stuff.

Nelson became interested after bowl game so they went after him and he told coach BV that he would commit lastnite

The bowl was heartbreaking (all the injuries) and heartwarming (the players sticking together despite extreme adversity) and the way the coaches ended the last drive with clock management was clever (and admit it, you guys were all yelling :les:WTF![hairGel] at the screen because you thought time would be left).

I wonder how much the bowl victory played into our recruiting this year?
