2014 Signees

[cowboysooner]

So, who do you guys think we will sign in 2014. We had a commitment from the tall kid that went to sunrise, but he has backed off his commitment. Who are the kids we are looking at?

Keep an eye on this name.

I'm hopeful that Omega Harris is at least one of our three signees.

Omega Harris, Telfair's little brother, Allonzo Trier, and we are for sure recruiting the Jeff Mead kid in football.

Thanks, Sam!

Clark appears to be a good prospect. He already has offers from OU, Oregon, Iowa and Wichita State. He also seems like the type of kid who would fit in well at OU, the kind of young man Coach Kruger wants in his program.

But even if he chooses another school, it would be hard to root against him after watching this video:

Clark seems like a great kid. Being through what he's been through I doubt he will take anything for granted. Would love to see him as a Sooner. Saw Buddy in the video, maybe he can help with Clarks recruitment.

I think we may have backed off of him. He is going to his fourth school this year in some form or fashion.

I didn't want to start a new thread to ask some dumb questions.

Is that 13th scholarship currently still open? I got 12.

Bennett//Clark//Neal
Spangler//Hamilton//Avila
Cousins//Hornbeak//Hield
Cole//Booker//Woodard

I see where Elliot switched and signed with So. Miss but that was mutual right? And Henry is pretty much written off?

I'm hopeful that Omega Harris is at least one of our three signees.

That scout link says we have not offered him. Is that accurate?

 

[Ham]

I don't think Scout is real up to date.

I see they still have Elliot committed to us.

I've been behind on hoops news for 2 months. Forgive me.

 

[SilliSooner]

Khadeem Lattin from Houston. Related to David "Big Daddy" Lattin of UTEP, Texas Western fame?

Correct. The way things stand, OU has two seniors (Clark, Neal), so there are 3 scholarships open for the 2014 recruiting class.

... I see where Elliot switched and signed with So. Miss but that was mutual right? And Henry is pretty much written off?

Correct on both points.

... Omega Harris ... That scout link says we have not offered him. Is that accurate?

Good question. I'm not certain of the answer. With 3 scholarships to give, it will be interesting to see where OU focuses their efforts.

Thanks Traveler! It makes good sense considering Bennett redshirted and now only two seniors graduate in 2014...I just wasn't sure if Henry or someone slipped in there while I had been away. I tried to find a current roster - no dice. Although the women's roster is out?
