Now that Walker is a commit - has there been any news on McCoy and Gresham and where they are leaning?

When are they going to announce?

I just heard (Mark Rodgers on the Sports Animal) that Gresham is going to Miami and McCoy is almost a lock for OU.

It isnt on rivalsHe said he talked to an ABC affiliate in Miami that said Gresham has quietly given the coaches the same sort of "feel" that McCoy is giving OU.

hmmmm I still think gresham could come to OU, he won't play at all if he becomes a cane.

They already have two tight ends that committed this year

Well, given the lack of our offense using the TE in the passing game. I could see how other schools are recruiting against us. Also, those other two tight ends aren't in the same class as JG.

What do you mean? They are both in high school, we had to play against the one of them(and we lost:() they also had a REALLY good guy that signed last year

According to those on the recruiting board here, "Gresham isn't a football player".

I see it as the exact opposite. I will preface this by saying I am obviously a huge Sooner fan, but that OU doesnt really have a history for developing TEs...at least in the same capacity as Miami. Sure, we get a stud every decade (Jackson, Stephen Alexander, Trent Smith) that ends up being NFL caliber. Miami is famous for turning out Pros...this is the kind of mentality that appeals to players like Gresham.

If you want to win championships, Id say OU is the better choice. From what Ive heard/read about Gresham, Im not too sure he wants the laid-back OU vs. the flashy South Beach/hoppin/celebrity Miami.

Yeah I see your point and it is good BUT he said he would love to play early. He won't get to play until like his junior year at UM. Miami is just stacked with tight ends.

just curious, how can you say he "wouldn't play" if he went to miami?
BASSooner

Their is so much talent at tight end already( I know I wondered about that myself)

Would love to have both...but I'd rather have McCoy.

Crap I meant not play until his junior/senior year...sorry I don't know why I said that

One of the guys listed as a TE on Miami's recruitment list this year is being recruited at offensive tackle. I think Gresham is visiting Miami right now.

I will give you Keith Jackson, but the other two I don't know about. Yes, Trent Smith and Stephen Alexander are in the league. Alexander has even had a fairly solid career. But, Shockey > Smith and Bubba Franks > Alexander. OSU has sent as good of tight ends as OU recently.

I think Gresham may know what he is doing.

Bubba Franks > Alexander.

Slander ;)

Until you played with the kid you can't ever really say anything about him.

I can't say I blame the kid. I visited Miami and loved it, had I gone to the campus and met a guy that told me I could goto college there for free it would be hard if not impossible to pass up.

Of course I have a bias toward OU so in that reguard the kid should be a Sooner :D

Are you joking, the Miami "campus" is in downtown Miami in a rough area almost as bad as USC's campus...Miami campus sucks....

I didn't visit the campus. I was only talking about the girls/celebrity stuff that someone else was talking about.

The campus area where the students spend a significant amount of time is a cess-pool...

how many great TE's can we expect them to turn out since they've fired their whole coaching staff? exactly how is THAT a predictable scenario for JG?
