This kid looks like a stud. 6'3-4 245-50 pounds and runs a 4.5 jeeeez!

Played at Vero Beach High in FL and was apparently highly regarded in the SEC. Sat out 3 games as a frosh in JUCO and fell off the radar. They just sent out film a week ago, BV picked it up and watched it in a timely fashion that allowed him to get in front of the other coaches.

A 6-3 250 LB who can run is always a good thing. He is only a soph coming in, another advantage. Gives us some depth at MLB if Zach's shoulder becomes chronic.

is he for the fall?

His coach wasn't sure, no other info at this point. A quote from his coach...
""He has great speed for his size," Rodriguez said of Reed, who has a 4.5-second time in the 40-yard dash.

"We went down to Fresno State to work with their coaches this spring and they saw film on him and fell in love with him right away. He just blows up everything. Somebody comes across his face and he destroys it.""

He also has that classic rush end physique that Sooner coaches love...

Reed attended Vero Beach High School in Florida and was being heavy courted by teams in the SEC before failing to qualify academically. He is on track to transfer in December with three years left to play two years of football.

Man, He looks good to me. I love the job BV has done here at OU. We are turning out good LB's every year. I hope Ruuuuuuufus can bring the Butkis trophy back home this year.

Isn't this kind of early for OU to get a recruit for 2007? I mean, do we every get more than a 1 or 2 kids to commit before summer practices in August?

Depends, a Juco (such as this guy) whom would be a possible January enrollee, would be more likely to commit at a time like this.

the most interesting thing about this recruit is that we only have around 10 to give this year.

really? now, is that taking into consideration that all of the guys we have signed qualify and make it to campus?

one person has to not qualify as we are at 86 currently. we only have 9 seniors this year + peterson so any extra after that will add to that number.

I bet this kid could POSSIBLY moved to defensive end. We are overloaded with talented linebackers

we are a lot thinner at LB than DE, even with 3 graduating this year...

jkm...all I count are these: John Williams, Alan Davis, Jeremy Beal, Alonzo Dotson, Austin English, Tim Johnson, Pryce Macon after this years guys graduate.(2 18-19 year-olds and 1 JUCO). We are going to need to recruit some serious DE's. We should be good at DT, though.

The crazy thing is a certain school south of us already has 17. It's a risky business because lots of things can happen during the next year.

I'm excited about Reed. He's had some trouble off the field over the past few years but I think he should be fine here.

Yeah. I guess its a pick your poison type of deal. If Saxet doesn't get some of these kids REALLY early, they might lose some of them to OU, aTm, SUC, LSwho, Miami, and other schools. I kind of prefer waiting on some of these kids and seeing what type of payers they are going to be in their senior seasons. A great junior can turn into a so-so senior really quick....
