Well at least they should be done for 2013 now, who's left?
So ..indicia that OU would have better recruiting if we moved to the SEC? I'm listening.
Sooners don't need WR they need beefeaters on O and D and LB!!!

David Ubben @davidubben Mack Brown survived Garrett Gilbert. He may not survive Kevin Sumlin. This latest run is big, big trouble for the Horns.

A&M leaving (then winning games and a Heisman) and TCU coming is about the worst recipe Texas could have asked for on the recruiting trail.

They were expected to get Manning and Jones, what was the big deal??

WR is a position I am totally unconcerned about. OL, DL, LB, and TE. We need more and better players at these spots to contend.
Players with hyphenated names suck unless they are Sooners of course. Pick a frickin' last name for crying out loud!!!
We should have gone to the SEC. Can't beat the constant 24-7 advertising they get on ESPIN. Recruiting, ranking, heisman, etc. go hand in hand with all the constant hype.

The hard-on for ATM on this board is disgusting. They won 10 games for the first time since 1998 and have three bowl wins since 1991. THREE! Calm down.

I think yall were too scared of a national identity. Being seen as tu's foil was more important than being the national power you were in the Switzer years. Truly great programs have 2 or 3 nationally relevant games on their schedule year in and year out. Y'all were just too comfortable with dominating tu, and reaping those rewards over the last decade. The landscape has changed. I like OU a lot. Now that y'all are stuck in a terrible conference, I hope y'all start to schedule 2 premiere OOC opponents every year to bring back some glory. Nebraska/OU should be annual. Notre Dame, Florida State, USC, etc in a constant rotation.

come on do you not know the norm around here? our fan base loves everyone else but us....funny you got a lot of Saban is the man, he gets beat at home by A&M, so then it moved to loving A&M....everyone hates LJ but loves Bell, if Bell fails, they will say Stoops sucks and should have went with Allen...you cant win.

OU was comfortable dominating Texas, aTm, Osu, K-State and the rest of the Big12. They had the series overall lead against Nebraska, but it was always competitive. OU will continue to dominate. I see no reason for you to be concerned about it.
Trevor Knight decommitted from Texas A&M because of Matt Davis. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, Trevor is supposedly a great guy, a bunch of my OU friend's think he is the real deal. But Matt, while possibly not the better QB, was the unquestioned leader of the recruiting cl****. Trevor would have walked in to a situation where he would have never had the locker room on his side. It wasn't he right situation for him. I wish him the best, and hope he beats tu like a drum if he ever gets the start.
so saying...knight did not come to A&M because he knew he was not better than the 3rd string QB on the roster...that is not negative? I dont know how good knight is....but I question if that was the reason he decommitted from A&M when our QB depth is DEEP with talent...that is my point.
I specifically said he might have been better than Matt Davis, even though Matt had a better offer list and was rated higher by most services(heavily sought by OU as well). I didn't even have to admit to that much. Trevor's decommittment from A&M had more to do with Matt's relationship with the fellow A&M recruiting cl****, and the leadership and buzz he was creating. Get your panties out of a wad.![]()
Don't flatter your self about Matt Davis. It was Kiel's all along. When he went somewhere else OU threw out tons of offers. Reevaluated and went hard after knight. The fact that you think you know more about OU's recruiting then every OU fan on this board is laughable. Run along and celebrate your average 10 win season.
It's amazing how Aggie is a perfect match for the SEC. Now you'll have a reason to celebrate national titles even though they still won't be yours.
So they wanted Matt Davis more than Gunner Kiel? Is that what your trying to say? Because Gunner Kiel was still into play at that point. We wanted Gunner Kiel first and foremost. After Gunner kiel moved on OU coahes re evaluated and found out the #1 choice for their offense was Knight.
I don't know what you're saying. Knight committed in the summer. OU was still recruiting Matt Davis at the end of his senior year. If OU had made the decision that Trevor was better than Matt, so be it. I have never made that claim, and have stated Trevor might be better, but the OU staff, as well as the A&M staff, would have taken both.
Oklahoma.

He committed to Texas A&M in the spring.
I see. What I am telling you is after they got the word Gunner Kiel was ruling out OU, their second choice was Trevor Knight. I dont care what you say. OU does not recruit 2 qb's in one cl**** and they do not pull offers from recruits already committed. So to say that they recruited Matt Davis after Knight committed is false. They may have stayed in touch but to say they would've taken matt Davis if he wanted to come late in the process is purely speculation based on nothing at all.
Something stinks in college station, SEC style. Their edge? $$$$. players with their hands out and a&m is happy to oblige. If there's a change at a&m, it's that they've decided win at all costs is ok and they're going all in on the SEC cheat to win mantra.
Except [B]low U did recruit him and offered a scholarship. Check your facts son.
The more big time recruits that go to A&M, the less that go to the Sooners. The tides are turning. As the seasons go on nothing about Oklahoma will get top recruits there. Oklahoma will fall further and further down the totem pole.
