****!
Big shock. Anybody who can jump ship is going to after that mess yesterday.
The D-line was the lone bright spot of last night's game. If Tapper goes, too, we're basically starting over from scratch.
Twitter post was "To sooner nation thank you for a great four years at the best university in America. After a thorough but difficult decision I have decided to enter the 2015 NFL draft. Thanks for your support through everything. #Boomer #Sooner"

Basically the only Jordan that didn't suck last night.

Yep. Starting from scratch on the DL, and pretty much everywhere else too. Next year is probably going to be worse. We no longer reload, and we don't seem to be rebuilding either.
Last night Striker said he was coming back for his Sr year
The enduring image of Oklahoma was that ridiculous double–middle finger of a game-icing kick. It was probably an accident, which somehow made it more, not less, insulting. It was as though Stoops had partied so hard on the corpse of the SEC that he woke up with an unplanned tattoo.
Smart move for him.. Possibly work his way into the first round..Could be the best NT to come out since Haloti.

Especially with his iffy back problem. He needs to get a paycheck as soon as he is able. The big question for him is whether or not a team will take a gamble on him. It may make for an interesting contract situation.
Doctors will give him the run down, but there is little concern about his back right now..Has a lot of good film to show, including yesterday.

I think it's more about the fact that he played himself into the first round and has major injury concerns moving forward (that most teams will overlook now, but not if he came back and got hurt again).
I don't expect us to be completely dry on the D-line. D-line is about the only position on our defense I'm confident we can reload at. It's the 7 or 8 guys behind itm
While I'm disappointed by his decision, I do wish him the best of luck.

Very smart decision. I wish the kid luck.
Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.
If I were on this year's train wreck and thought I could get drafted on the first day, I'd be gone too. What are the odds DGB says the same thing, and Mixon ends up saying "thanks, but no thanks"?
Jordan Phillips is a beast, and I hope he dominates in the NFL. Smart and soft-spoken, too. One of my favorite players recently.
Tapper would be smart to go as well...
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!
I doubt yesterday's game had any part in his decision; I'm sure that had already been determined. It would surprise me if any other players leave early - maybe Tapper. Shepard just seems so connected to OU and Stoops, I just don't see him leaving. Also, he is a true JR and not a 4 year player. It will be hard for Striker to find a position in the NFL given his size and he could use another year to become more versatile.
EDIT: I didn't include DBG because I don't really count him as being part of the team. Whatever he does won't surprise me as I don't know anything about his life since coming to Norman.
good luck

We will really miss him next year but hope he is a great success in the NFL. He has earned it.
There's Only ONE Oklahoma!
