[CoachTalk]

@TheRecruitScoop: Oklahoma has offered 2016 PG Payton Pritchard of Team Fast (OR).

Wow! Looks like our coaches plan to cover all of their bases on point guards, now and in the future.

He is the son of a Terry Pritchard that played TE at OU. And mom was on the gymn. team

I wonder if his parents connections to OU will help OU?

I think Pritchard was from Moore. I would suspect Payton has been to Moore numerous times to see his Grandparents.

Sounds like a Kruger kind of guy.

Wow, I saw this on twitter and thought it was all sorts of random. Seeing his parents are alum definitely helps the case. Seems pretty stout as a sophomore, Oregon has some decent talent too.

Definitely. Another gym rat:

During the season, it’s not uncommon for Pritchard to have three or four basketball workouts, starting with an hour in West Linn’s gym before classes start

What happened with his dad at OU? I don't recall him ever playing and Soonerstats looks like he left the team after three seasons as a redshirt sophomore (going to be a junior).

1985 OU Tight Ends (National Championship Team)

85 Darin Berryhill - Senior
88 Keith Jackson - Sophomore
97 Aubrey King - Freshman
89 Terry Pritchard - Freshman
67 David Frolich - Freshman
81 David Shoemaker - Freshman
Lance Price - Sophomore


I do not know that he ever did play. He is not listed as a letterman in the OU press guide. Back in those days, Keith Jackson probably never came out of the games. Keith Jackson was a 4 year starter.

I know his sister, and even though it is couple years away...doesn't seem likely to end up at Ou.

He was a great talent who did what a bunch of guys did in college. Have a great time and not study or work as hard as he should have to be successful.

What does that mean. I am pretty sure Kevin was in my pledge class for a few weeks. If he wasn't, I think he was friends with a guy in my pledge class because I think I met him

I graduated Moore high school with Pritchard in 85. Also Joe Reynolds(85,Moore) won an NC at 142 in wrestling. Of course he passed in 2012 at 44. I believe that was the last year before the high school split into Westmoore.
