Can you define "In the fold".

 

[CoachTalk]

Can you define "In the fold".

Wilson is top priority with smith 2nd and Timme 3rd

They watch and evaluate a ton of kids. Others will come up.

 

[BigTime]

Timme is a top priority.

 

[CoachTalk]

Timme is a top priority.

I have him up there. Wilson is first.

 

[sdcloud9]

I have him up there. Wilson is first.

This class has a chance to be special, then follow that up with Bryce Thompson in 2020....

The program is moving in a big way...

 

[slappy in OP]

Love seeing the momentum we have right now. Such a relief after last year's woes.

Is Charles Smith IV the son of a kid who was from Fort Worth Dunbar and later starred at New Mexico? He was a player for the Lobos, and he led Dunbar to the state title in '93.

Coachtalk,
Do you think Tyrese Maxey is in play for OU?
Wagner guard from Kansas as well??

Also, do you still like OU's chance with Khavon Moore?

No on maxey.
Drawing a blank on wagner...

Yes I think Moore 2018 kid is a lock.

I don’t think you understand what “In the fold” means. No offense intended.

I do appreciate all of your info, so thank you.

“In the fold” to me is a recruit who grew up in a diehard OU family. His mother, grandparents, uncle and cousins are sometimes seen in OU apparel. Boomer Sooner is not a theme song, it’s a way of life on game day.

Doesn’t mean signing a kid like Jalen is automatic. Success is not guaranteed when the blue bloods get involved. But I would rather be in OU’s position than be a coach at a school trying to make up for lost time on a kid who will (hopefully) want to please his family on signing day, not to mention play with one of his best friends and current teammate, De’ Vion Harmon.

How am I doing?

 

[kfaerber]

I have heard similar things about this class. I was told today by a coach with ties to OU that he thinks OU lands Wilson. This class could be special.

CoachTalk might want to make a change on his recruiting list. Wilson said in an interview I saw last night he is 6’ 8” now.

Can we get an updated list based on guys we're still targeting and wanting?


I assume it looks like

PG: Harmon
SG: Armstrong/Smith
SF: Wilson
PF: ???
C: ???? and Issanza


Haven't heard much about the PF/C positions. Obviously guys like Robinson-Earl are likely out of the picture due to KS and other blue bloods.

[CoachTalk]

Joseph Girard III (Mich duke)

SG

Smith
Terry Armstrong (flint mich kid) tough athletic

g/f
Malik Hall
Jalen wilson

Timme
Issanza (I think this is an offer but not committable at this time)

They aren't afraid to recruit against the big dogs.

 

[AdaSooner]

Wabash Valley Power Forward, Austin Trice, should be on that list. The reports I’ve read say he has an OU offer. One report said our coaches are putting a full court press on to sign him.
