Who leads for him? Does he simply follow Daddy to Stillwater?

[pappy]

I hope not...the kid is awesome.

[Tigeman]

I'm thinking he goes to Stilly.

I'd rather see him there than *! Although now that * has Brown, I see * as out of the picture, but you never know.

Thing that sucks for us is the kid hates OU. :(

well, then he's obviously not very good.;)

[gaylordfan1]

I haven't got to see any of his highlights. I have only read articles about him.

[Eielson]

I bet he won't be as good as his dad.

[Mad Dog Madsen]

I know a guy, that knows a guy... He'll end up at Notre Dame. :D

Here u go Barry Sanders Jr 2010 Highlights (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu9Q04L4a7k)

[Curly Bill]

I bet he won't be as good as his dad.

Wow, way to go out on a limb. :P

[Eielson]

Wow, way to go out on a limb. :P

Yeah, I wanted to insult him when I read that he hates OU. That's all I could really come up with. Running for almost 2,000 yards as a sophomore is kinda hard to insult...even if it is weak competition. I would have made a comment about being in 2A, but I didn't want everybody to jump on me and act like I don't know about Wes Welker.

[Breadburner]

I heard Tennesee.....

[texaspokieokie]

he looks really good, but not much competition.

[1890MilesToNorman]

Here u go Barry Sanders Jr 2010 Highlights (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu9Q04L4a7k)

He runs a lot like daddy!! He would make a good Sooner if he would get his mind right about the OK foosball picture. :D

when does he gradiate?

[texaspokieokie]

somewhere on here it is noted that their middle names are not the same.

he'll probably always be "Junior" tho.

[Big Red Ron]

We have, including a highly touted guy in the 2011 class about 6 guys as good or better than him. Pull a Cale Gundy and get in line or don't. We'll win with you or without you. Best of luck in orange.

[texaspokieokie]

only 6 guys better than a hi-school soph ???

[CowboyMRW]

He's going out of state according to top sources

[Tigeman]

He's going out of state according to top sources

Yep! Tenn. at this point. But there's still a whole year!

[The Consumate Showman]

He could literally go anywhere: Taco Tech, Tenn, ND, USC, UCLA, Miami, Auburn...

I think he winds up a David Oku type of RB and recruit.

[CowboyMRW]

Yep! Tenn. at this point. But there's still a whole year!

I really hate to see kids of this caliber leave the state. Oklahoma is known that well as producing lots of D1 football players so when they leave it really sucks

[SoonerSoph]

I won't be surprised to see this come to UCLA and Florida... an odd pairing, but the kid loves UCLA and Florida is the "It" school to go to now. OSU will make the final choices based on his fandom (which subsequently keeps OU out of it), but he wants a more high profile place than OSU.

I would much rather him go to OSU than UCLA or Florida. I always like when Oklahoma kids stay in state. He can get the same NFL exposure at OSU, but kids don't always realize that. It's not like Florida is pumping out NFL running backs. Chris Johnson went to ECU for example.

[texaspokieokie]

barring injury, he'll probably be able to attend in school in the US.

as a JR in hs, he's already larger than his dad was as a SR.

looks like he has good speed & also good moves. hope he goes somewhere in OK; even if it's durant or tahlequah.

[stoopified]

Who was the last great clloge player to have a son who was more than average? Gre Pruitt? Nope.Marcus Dupree? Nope.David Overstreet? Not really,he was an OK db for Missou.Walter Payton? Nope.I don't get too excited by legacy players,they aren't any more likely to be a stud than any other hs bluechip.

I watched Sanders a couple of times last year and he is OK.

[texaspokieokie]

even secretariat wasn't that great of a stud.

[BoulderSooner79]

That James Wilder Jr. looks like a real stud. His dad was also studly and was probably the biggest reason that Mizzou knocked off the huskers in '78 so that OU could get a 2nd crack them in the Orange bowl.

[OSUAggie]

He's going out of state according to top sources

No, he's not.

[Frozen Sooner]

Don't I remember for some reason that the relationship between Barry Sanders and OSU is somewhat strained, and that Barry's dad wanted him to go to OU but there was a mixup with the recruiting tapes or something?

I guess what I'm getting at is that I don't think the normal "legacy" rules apply here.

[sooner59]

Pat Jones said on the Sports Animal once that the coaches at that time were passing around recruiting videos between each other. However, when they got the Barry Sanders video, they held on to it, hid it, and pretended like they knew nothing about it. Can't say that I blame them actually. Therefore, Sanders probably didn't get as many offers as he obviously would have and he ended up at OSU. Too bad, he most likely would have had a title ring had he came to Norman to be on those late 80's teams.

[CowboyMRW]

No, he's not.

Right now there's a 96.25873684% chance that he's going out of state

[goingoneight]

It'd be cool to see him do some of the things his dad did with a bigger frame.

[sooner518]

i have no idea how to judge high school video (especially someone playing in class 2A), but he had some pretty damn impressive runs.

[Sabanball]

Add Bama to the list. I have it on good authority that Nick Saban himself has called Barry Jr and made a verbal offer.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/alabama/football/recruiting/player-Barry-Sanders-91034

In the end I think he's a Poke, but you never know. Like Bob, Nick is a very good evaluator of talent and this kid obviously has something that he likes.

[The Consumate Showman]

No, he's not.

Dream on aggie. :rolleyes:

Barry, Sr. doesn't even like the fact that he went to aggieland. Barry's father is an OU fan, and I'll guarantee after watching Stoolwater implode this year and revert to the usual aggie, mediocre football, he'll look elsewhere. :)

Too bad, he most likely would have had multiple title rings, possibly multiple Heisman's had he came to Norman to be on those late 80's teams.

Fixed.

You know that his dad's an OU fan, right? My father attended one of the bedlam games and saw Barry's dad sitting with other OU fans, wearing an OU shirt.

[Tigeman]

But unfortunately the kid doesn't like us at all for some reason. :(

[goingoneight]

Couldn't be that hate-everything-OU-aggie logic, could it?

[gaylordfan1]

But unfortunately the kid doesn't like us at all for some reason. :(

Bc we are full of RB's! Always are.

[Sabanball]

I have also heard that he does not like OU, but Bo Jackson didn't like Auburn at one point in time in HS and your own Rick Bryan(RIP) almost signed with the pokes so that alone doesn't mean anything. That being said, I still maintain that out-of-state schools still have Texas to beat for his services.

[Tigeman]

Bc we are full of RB's! Always are.

I'm not so sure about that.

Murray and Madu are gone.
Jermie Calhoun - Apparently the coaches just don't like him or he's just never
going to pan out
Miller - Questionable as anything other than mop-up time player to this point
Finch and Clay - Unproven freshman that could be great, but also could be just
the opposite come game time!

We have Brandon Williams coming in, but once again, unproven as of yet. And he's still not officially signed. Until then anything is possible.

So what we have is 2 freshman and back-ups. If I was a top RB, and confident, this wouldn't scare me.

[badger]

they just ran an article on him today here. (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/highschool/article.aspx?subjectid=227&articleid=20100830_227_B1_CUTLIN167931)

apparently, he's not really junior per se, but has the same first and last name :D

it says he's a big OSU fan, but then again, Hayes McLonghorn was a big * fan before coming to OU. :D

[texaspokieokie]

no big deal, but i noted on 8-22 that he's not a JR.

i guess he's a JR. in school.

[Jello Biafra]

hes not event he dude we NEED from that school....

this is the man...

in case you are wondering.... GKs cousin...

[BillyBall]

It's so strange that HH (my alma mater) is actually putting out high level football talent now... That's what nice donations and athletic scholarships can do I guess.

[Jello Biafra]

also witnessed this gargantuan individual lift at the base gym....315 5 times....kid is 16 or was then

Is that Rashaun, D'Juan, and Donovan Woods youngest brother at Casady?

[Jello Biafra]

Is that Rashaun, D'Juan, and Donovan Woods youngest brother at Casady?

yeh. dad is apparently a coach in some capacity there.

[texaspokieokie]

after usu game; maybe OU needs to step up efforts to recruit BS Jr

[Jello Biafra]

yap because im sure another speedy rb will solve all of our issues.

[texaspokieokie]

can't hurt.

[goingoneight]

Getting another DM-kinda back will at least solve the issue of DM graduating. Haha

[Jello Biafra]

we have two back there now that are that kind of back lol....calhoun should be a stud....hes not a rec. back but he can run the rock.

[Jello Biafra]

6'6" 390lb....sophomore??? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

yep....and if gerald mccoy has anything to say about it, he will be a sooner.

heard from a family member that notre dame and LSU is already recruiting him.

[texaspokieokie]

he'll probly weigh over 500 lbs by the time he graduates !!!!

[The Consumate Showman]

It's so strange that HH (my alma mater) is actually putting out high level football talent now... That's what nice donations and athletic scholarships can do I guess.


...and, you forgot not being regulated by the ossba and their ability to recruit unlike any public school can...at least outwardly...I know it still goes on at public schools, but not to the capacity that it goes on in private schools.

[Eielson]

also witnessed this gargantuan individual lift at the base gym....315 5 times....kid is 16 or was then

What lift?

[texaspokieokie]

his left leg.

[Jello Biafra]

What lift?

bench press...

[85sooners]

:pop:

[soonerguild]

Soonerscoop has him on their homepage with an article claiming he visited norman, I don't subscribe so i don't know the details, just an fyi.

[goingoneight]

:stunned: butt butt , he cant do that uo cheetz!11!1 :stunned:

[Mad Dog Madsen]

I'd love to see him here...

[KiiDSooNER]

Give me Jonathan Gray over Barry Sanders anyday.

[texaspokieokie]

ok,you got him.

[JLEW1818]

i said hi to him at the air force game. ha

[texaspokieokie]

was his dad with him ????

[JLEW1818]

nope

I told him to pull up his pants tho... ;)

[Jello Biafra]

nope

I told him to pull up his pants tho... ;)

did he tell you he crapped bigger than you that morning?

[Soonerntxs]

Saw him at Ruths Chris in Dallas following the game, kid looks strong and lean, he is going to be one for the books!

[Mjcpr]

They showed an interview with him on The Blitz last night and he did not list OU in his top 5.

[goingoneight]

Poor kid, he's been raised on orange. He doesn't know any better. :)

[Tigeman]

[Tigeman]

Dip$hit was wearing a :mack: hat at the RRS. He also said he's wanting an offer from *. PHUCK YOU KID!


They showed an interview with him on The Blitz last night and he did not list OU in his top 5

That's because he's already publicly stated he's not fond of us or our coaching staff.

[Soonerntxs]

Wow did not know this about him, I thought he was looking at us. Oh, well there is better prospects with less drama.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Sanders recently named Oklahoma State, UCLA, Florida State and Alabama as his top four current college choices, but nothing is permanent.

[boomermagic]

I think he winds up at Bama..

[Tigeman]

I love the "Top Prospect 2012" and the "NFL Pipeline" handwritten notes on the front of the envelope from Bama! Not to mention the hugeeee envelopes. Certainly attention grabbers.

[47straight]

I got no problem with the kid going wherever he wants, but wearing a * hat at the RRS as our guest is pretty bush league.

It's not that it even pisses me off so much, as it just reflects badly upon his character.

[Tigeman]

Here you go fellas..... Don't take my word on it about the hat (http://rivals.yahoo.com/highschool/blog/prep_rally/post/Barry-Sanders-Jr-lands-spotlight-with-highlight?urn=highschool-274408)

Well there wasn't a letter b/c Boone paid for a singing telegram and flew the guy in on a private jet to deliver it. They don't need no stinking letters!
