According to Lampkin's twitter, he has decided to re-open his recruiting and is not longer committed to OU.
So much for Sugar Bowl momentum.

He has been talking to an aggie player and it appears as though as soon as they offer, he will commit there.

Recruits may be looking at current defensive line and figuring playing time prospects aren't all that great for a couple of years. Seems like nobody wants to develop any more, they all expect to be starters from day one.
He wants to travel and be treated like he is something special. He will always be a problem in the locker room when things don't go his way. He will probably change his mind when he gets inthe university of his choice. He doesn't understand the TRADITION of a winning program that OU has. He will regret not staying when OU goes for the National Championship!
so how does Stoops handle these guys? do they still have an offer? Personally, I wouldn't take a early verbal from a big time guy as set in stone unless it was much closer. I do know the Juco my son signed with, they did ask if he commits will he take other visits...didn't say what they would do but did question him.
How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!
how badly do we want or need em? usually the parting is mutual of we dump them, but not mutual if the player announces that he's going to take more visits
Tell him to kick rocks, If he dont want to be a Sooner, do we really WANT him?

If he ends up at OU, he needs to take a remedial English grammar course. I see he studied at the ST school of random capitalization and punctuation.
It's not A&M that he's interested in, it's Texas. He attended their Spring Game and left "interested".
Similar to Wariboko, he was an early commit, and now he wants to be able to take all of his visits without disrespecting Stoops' wishes (that recruits no longer take visits after they are committed).
THIS is why I never get too excited when any kid commits early. Unless you are 100% sure, and there is no question in your mind, don't commit.
You never want to see a kid decommit, but we are very deep along the D-line. We're also in on a couple of kids that are markedly better at the same position. It's not going to make or break anything.
Stoops has always said that he wouldn't consider a kid "committed" if he was still taking visits. In this case, the kid wanted to take some visits, and wanted to respect Stoops "rule". I really don't have a problem with it, and he handled it the best way he could.
He does risk losing a spot though. One thing Stoops is very consistent about is he doesn't "hold" spaces. If this kid decides he wants to be at OU, and we're full at the position, he's out of luck. The only exception would be if the kid is unbelievably good (e.g. Adrian Peterson). Otherwise, the train will keep rolling.
I don't get the drama. There's no early signing period.
It's the way things are nowadays. Social media and the recruiting services has turned these kids into pseudo-celebrities before they've even stepped foot on a college campus.
That's why I really appreciated how Steven Parker handled his recruiting. He NEVER talked to the services and wasn't even on social media. I wish every recruit was like that, but that's not this generations style.
I was talking about the drama from the fans/internets.
Oh, well it is the internet...
