Recruiting is the lifeblood of every football program. To succeed on Saturday’s teams must continue to amass talented recruits. So as Bedlam approaches a growing list of really talented players are set to be on campus this weekend. Here is who we know of right now (this list will be in a continual state of flux between now and the weekend)
2017
4-Star QB Chris Robison 6-2/190 from Mesquite, TX (OU Commit)
4-Star RB Kennedy Brooks 6-0/200 from Mansfield, TX (OU Commit)
4-Star OL Marquis Hayes 6-5/315 from Maryland Heights, MO (OU Commit)
4-Star TE Grant Calcaterra 6-4/215 from Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (OU Commit)
4-Star DE Isaiah Thomas 6-6/235 from Tulsa, OK (OU Commit)
4-Star DB Tre Brown 5-11/180 from Tulsa, OK (OU Commit)
4-Star DB Justin Broiles 6-0/170 from Oklahoma City, OK (OU Commit)
4-Star S Robert Barnes 6-3/200 from Southlake, TX (OU Commit)
4-Star WR James Robinson 6-3/195 Lakeland, FL (OU Offer)
4-Star ATH/DB Jamyest Williams 5-9/175 from Lawrenceville, GA (South Carolina Commit)
4-Star S Deangelo Gibbs 6-2/205 from Loganville, GA (OU Offer) – Added
3-Star OL Creed Humphrey 6-4/290 from Shawnee, OK (OU Commit)
JUCO WR Marquise Brown 5-11/170 from Santa Clarita, CA (OU Offer)
3-Star DT/DE Joshua Rogers 6-5/280 from Houston, TX (OU Offer)
3-Star DB Noah Daniels 6-0/180 from League City, TX (OU Offer)
JUCO DT Lee Autry from Fulton, MS 6-3/320 (Miss State Commit)
3-Star OL Jerry Drake 6-7/300 from Palm Beach Gardens, Fl.
3-Star DB Evan Fields 6-2/195 from Midwest City, OK
3-Star WR Gavin Holmes 5-11/180 from Justin, TX
JUCO DT Rashad Brandon 6-3/315 from Jersey City, NJ (possible)
So now the obvious question is who will pick up offers and who is on commitment watch.
3-Star WR Gavin Holmes
Not only do I believe the former Iowa commitment pick up an offer, but assuming the offer comes this weekend, I believe that Holmes will commit to the Sooners. Chance of Offer ~ 60%
JUCO DT Lee Autry
Autry is kind of a position of need for the Sooners in this class. They have Romar, Overton, Lampkin, but adding key depth would never hurt. They still need to likely find a high school defensive tackle for this class, but I believe Autry picks up an offer. A flip and commitment to the Sooners wouldn’t shock me by Autry, but I’m not ready to make the pick as of yet. Chance of Offer ~ 60%
3-Star DB Evan Fields
Fields has been on the verge of a Sooner offer for a while now and I think it is a 50/50 chance of happening this weekend. Chance of Offer ~ 50%
3-Star OL Jerry Drake
I believe the Sooners want 2 additional offensive tackles in the class of 2017. They are seemingly in the driver’s seat for 4-Star Adrian Ealy, but Drake is no slouch if he is the other offensive tackle. Chance of Offer ~ 65%
3-Star DB Noah Daniels
The former Baylor Commit, picked up a Sooner offer and almost immediately de-committed from the Bears. His Sooner commitment appears imminent.
3-Star DE/DT Joshua Rogers
Rogers is the other player I believe will commit to the Sooners this weekend. He will fill a big need along the DL.
