Re: 2016 Offers - Updated: 2/15/2015

Update: Sunday, February 15


This weekend OU is holding one of two "junior days". The event is designed to attract next year's seniors (recruits for the coming class). In some cases, it provides a chance for OU to take a closer look at a kid and determine if they want to extend an offer. In other cases, the recruit already has an offer and this provides them a chance to visit the campus and spend time with the coaches without the visit being considered an "official visit"

So far, I've confirmed three new offers from this event:

Marvin Terry
Defensive End/OLB
Dallas, TX
South Oak Cliff High School

247: 4 star
ESPN: 4 star
Rivals: 4 star
Scouts: 4 star

Chris Owens

247: 3 star
ESPN: NR
Rivals: 3 star
Scouts: 3 star

Kofi Boateng
Wide Receiver
Arlington, TX
Lamar High School

247: 3 star
ESPN: NR
Rivals: 3 star
Scouts: 3 star

COMMITMENT from Junior Day:

Jon-Michael Terry
Outside Linebacker
Tulsa, OK
Victory Christian School

247: NR
ESPN: NR

Re: 2016 Offers - Updated: 2/19/2015

Two minor changes made today (February 20):

• Removed WR Kofi Boateng. I mistakenly listed him as one of the WR offers. He may still be offered, but at this time he doesn't have an official offer from OU. He was in attendance at OU's junior day last weekend. My opinion is that he'll be a "plan B" offer (should we fail to land higher profile receivers).

• Updated Sooner OLB Commit Jon-Michael Terry's rating. 247Sports has his composite rating as 3 stars, as does Rivals. ESPN & Scouts, Inc. have not rated Terry at this time.

Re: 2016 Offers - Updated: 3/2/2015

Update: Monday, March 2


OLB Caleb Kelly announces his "top 10" - OU makes the cut.

 

Re: 2016 Offers - Updated: 3/4/2015

Update: Wednesday, March 4

New offer out:

Nygel Edmonds
Cornerback
Chattanooga, TN
McCallie High School

247: 4 star
ESPN: 4 star
Rivals: 4 star
Scouts: 3 star

Updated rating:

Rivals and 247Sports have finally given OLB Pernell Jefferson an evaluation and come back with a 3 star rating. I've updated the list accordingly.


Note: Couple of things to note today:

• OU will be hosting their second junior day this weekend (March 7th). I expect there will be several offers that will go out, and possibly a commit or two (although, it's entirely possible that nobody commits). I'll update as I confirm any/all offers.

• The Football Brainiacs are reporting (and has since been confirmed via a Tweet) that OU legacy Jared Mayden no longer has a 'top 3' and has "reopened" his recruiting. This is significant because the Sooners were not in his initial top 3. He attended the first junior day and raved about the experience. I don't think it's a coincidence that soon after his junior day experience, he reopens his recruiting. The Sooners are firmly in the hunt for the talented Texas cornerback.

• For those that check this thread regularly, I am going to be making a significant change. After all my years on this board, I never knew there was a limit to how much you can put into a post (the number of characters). Apparently there is, and apparently I've reached it (with the first post). Since I've never kept track of offers on this board, I wasn't expecting to run into that issue. So, in order to continue with the updates, I'm going to split the offers into two separate posts: one for offense and one for defense. Should be pretty straight forward. I've considered opening the comment section for discussion, but I think it's just better (for those that just want the updates) if I leave them closed in these posts. I'll probably start discussion only threads that will be open for comments about the offers. This should all be done by the end of the coming weekend.

BOOMER SOONER!
