No problem. If I was anything but lazy today I would have just googleated and reposted a link like my poster hero Badger did (no sarcasm).

Alex Ross looks just as good to me. Should be fun to watch them compete for PT.

Is Danzel Williams doing anything, insiders? I saw a HS film of him about a year ago that reminded me of DeMarco and I can't find it anymore. Wasn't he supposed to be a really good one?

Here is an article posted in the Chicago Tribune on Smith:
Chicago Tribune (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/highschool/football/ct-spt-0118-prep-foot-smith-oklahoma,0,6098543.story)

Looks like some of the locals need to be educated, too.

When you say doing anything? You mean like texting or signing?

I think he's a Sooner.

Cool Quote by Smith. I love hearing guys say things like this....


"It's a dream come true and I'm just honored and excited to be a Sooner," said Smith, who listed West Virginia as his other favorite.

"Once Oklahoma came in it was hard to ignore them. Just thinking about the tradition and the history of Oklahoma and of the running back position, they are just really hard to say no to in the end."

Uhhhh was he hurt his senior year or am I missing something? His stats were the suck. 111 carries for under 600 yards? Playoff game 16 carries, 64 yards?

[StoopTroup]

Seems not only do the Coaches like him....he must have been a good fit with the players too.



Smith, 6-foot and 197 pounds, said he had a great time on his official visit to OU last weekend. He spent the first part of Saturday sitting in between Gundy and head coach Bob Stoops at a Sooners basketball game. He spent part of the night with fullback Trey Millard and quarterback Landry Jones as the duo helped show him what it's going to be like when he steps on campus.

Also....he keeps saying all the right things....


“It’s actually a pretty good thing going over there as a tailback coming in,” Smith said. “It’s now me and another guy committed there. We have four tailbacks. I’m ready to compete.”

They just seem to say limited.
