Pursuit of recruits

Sooners begin to scout top high school quarterbacks
NORMAN -- One more aspect to Rhett Bomar's departure from Oklahoma: The Sooners must immediately begin pursuing the nation's top high school quarterbacks.

OU coach Bob Stoops said during media day on Friday that with sophomore Bomar penciled in as a four-year starter, recruiting a megastar quarterback wasn't that important. That's not the case any more.

"It's definitely a priority for us right now," Stoops said. "And we're working hard."

Recruiting service Scout.com lists seven five-star quarterbacks, and all seven have given a verbal commitment. Rivals.com ranks three five-star and four four-star pro-style quarterbacks, and all seven have committed. Six of the Rivals.com's top nine dual-threat QBs have also committed.

So, if no one decommits, there are not many five-star players to choose from. Then again, verbal commitments are nonbinding, and when a player of Bomar's caliber is sent packing, the landscape changes.

"Any high school quarterback in the nation has got to be interested in Oklahoma," said Bill Redell, head coach at Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village, Calif. "That's one of the premier programs in the country."

Redell

coached Sooners backup Joey Halzle at Oaks Christian. He also coaches Jimmy Clausen, this year's top-ranked high school prospect in the nation. Clausen threw for 3,665 yards and 57 touchdowns as a sophomore and 2,778 yards and 30 TDs last season. In his career, he has 96 TDs and only 14 interceptions.

Clausen has verbally committed to Notre Dame, and his commitment sounds firm, particularly because Heisman Trophy front-runner Brady Quinn is a senior and Clausen has the potential to start immediately.

Former OU coach Chuck Long recruited Clausen early, and Clausen hasn't taken any official visits yet. Redell said he hadn't spoken with his QB since Bomar's dismissal on Wednesday, but he didn't think Clausen would decommit.

Others, however, might.

"Hopefully so," Stoops said. "There's a lot of opportunity there. Get that word out."

For one, Bomar's departure has moved the Sooners up the list for Joe Chaisson, quarterback at Westbrook High School in Beaumont, Texas and a three-star recruit according to Rivals and Scout.

OU was already in Chaisson's top five -- his cousin, Kelvin Chaisson, was a three-year starter on the OU offensive line from 2003-05 -- but now the Sooners are higher.

"It's pushing them even higher," he said. "Unfortunately, their situation at quarterback is a little low now, so that kind of sparks a little more interest."

Chaisson attended an OU scrimmage in the spring. He said he will definitely schedule an official visit to OU now. He thinks others, including many who have already given verbal commitments, will do the same.

"I think they also will, because they see the opportunity of getting on the field and getting some playing time early," Chaisson said. "That's a big opportunity."

Had the boy been from the Dakotas and Not Timpview I'd a considered it. Besides he never redshirted at Weber State University, so he missed out on that part of the Heupel the Legend tenure.
