According to ESPN, Treadwell is set to announce on January 17th.
If OU goes more run oriented or multi-offense won't there be a lesser need for WRs?

How many years in a row have we missed out on the #1 ranked WR?
Do the other schools OU loses out on a recruit always cheat to get them? Is it possible they out recruit OU for that particular player based on their ability to better present their program and opportunities to play?

No, absolutely not. If a player of his caliber has some kind of real connection to a lower tier school (Like what he has with osu) and OU loses out then that's the breaks. If the kid is interested in a place like USC, Oregon, or some school that throws the ball a lot I can understand that. When a elite talent favors a lower tier school and has no obvious connection then you have to really wonder what's going on there. To some degree when I said "SEC Money" earlier ITT it was mostly a joke.

Tired of Treadwell like Manning. OU has a boatload of new young receivers. If he wants to go Ole Misery,go, be done with him. Enough space on these boards wasted on him.
No doubt OU is good at WR is it not?
You can't strike out on players who were NEVER coming to OU. Julio and Reuben were NEVER coming to OU, despite what it appeared to be in reports.
DGB, sure. Kyle Prater, maybe. We got Metoyer. Tolliver, sure. We got Tennell. We got Kelly, though he was a bit lower in rank.
I'll gladly miss out on the number 1 WR every year without thinking twice, knowing Norvell will consistently have one of the best units in CFB
We've spent way too much time on this thread. With Bester, Neal, Reynolds, Shepherd, Saunders, and now KJ Young...I think we're fine at WR.
Let's get some defensive talent shall we???
End the thread. With OU signing and enrolling Cavil, it's over. OU has moved on before his decision.

I like our receivers, and Norvell has done a great job for sure. I think qb, wr, and rb we're in pretty solid position. OL recruiting is still a huge question mark, obviously we have some skilled people. I still hate missing out on difference-makers; these types are the ones that put you in the end zone against LSU, Florida, and a&m rather than having to settle for field goals.
Let's see OU has missed out on: Meachem, Randle, darius white, julio jones, dgb, probably treadwell, prater. probably others.
Wasn't DGB pretty much of a bust at MU this past year?
DGB for a true freshman looked really good at times, damn good
Better stats than Metoyer, who I thinik will be very good next year.
DGB runs really ****ty routes
What time is the announcement today? And are we definitely out of it?
Soonerscoop said we had "officially" parted ways with Treadwell a few days ago. So, don't expect much. He's been considered an Ole Miss lock for months now but he visited the Pokes last week and they've gone all-in-scondary-violations-be-damned on him. Now, all their recruiting guys are saying it's 50/50.
Smart money says he's a Rebel? Bear? Rebel Bear? this evening.
Yeah it's obviously Ole Miss.
We clearly moved on a couple weeks ago. Glad Norvell decided to move on and get some great looking players before he officially announced, instead of waiting for the announcement and scrambling... Like some coaches...
