Thought I'd come over here and try to get my FREAKIN' blood pressure down for a little while.
Anyway, the point of this thread is NOT to try and be sarcastic, mean, stupid, boneheaded, or accusing or anything like that. I just have some recruiting advice from a guy that played some football, knows a little about the game of football and knows when he's watching a great prospect take the field and dominate a game.
So here goes:
Bob Stoops and OU Football Coaching Staff: "PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR COLLECTIVE BUTTS AND GO OFFER FREAKIN' AWESOME RYAN BROYLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S IN YOUR OWN FREAKIN' BACKYARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO GET HIM BEOFRE THE DOMERS DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG! If any of you were at the game against Enid Friday night, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't been to see Ryan, GO! This kid is a difference maker every time he touches the ball for Norman. Whether he's playing Slot WR, RB, CB, Kick R, or Punt R he is a TD waiting to happen. Now I know he isn't QUITE at the right weight you might like him to be at, but c'mon...we've got Schmitty, red shirt his butt and see what happens to him.
Now, having said all of that, I've been to watch a lot of high school games over the past 10 years or so and I can say that Ryan is one of the better athletes I've seen on a football field. He really kind of reminds me of Reggie Smith. He picked off OU commit Austin Box twice and scored on a PRETTY end zone pass from Tullius. Plus, he has some BLAZING speed out there.
I am hoping that REAL soon, Ryan will get an offer from OU. And from all the reports I have heard and the people I have talked to, Ryan should be QUICK to give his commitment to OU.
If you go watch him play it's almost like he is trying his damndest to show the OU staff that he is worthy of one of our small offers this year. I have his "unofficial" stats from the Enid game(the ones I took)and I will post them whenever I can find them...think they are buried at the bottom of my truck, but just from memory standpoint, I think he had something like 100 yards rushing and recieving, 1 recieving TD and 2 INT's, one for a score or maybe both...I'll find it.
Oh, 1 more thing, another Norman kid to be listening for in the '08 class is Chika Madu...he may turn out to be better than his brother. He had a INT and a kickoff return for a TD...this kid has some serious moves for a young kid and speed much like Ryan's...
