What ever happened to him? Did he sign with anybody else?
 
He won't make it to Norman. They are done worrying about his grades.
 
Thx vb... Hadn't seen you post in awhile... So, you ever get any other inside info on recruiting? Like, are we in on any bigs for 2014?
 
3 committed kids that aren't cutting it gradewise. Is the staff pulling transcripts?

If not, they should be. I would rather see our staff miss out on a kid who can make his grades, than to waste time and money on someone who is a borderline qualifier at best. I'm all for going the juco route to fill needs. But, this? We're not talking about recruits who have the potential to be program changers here.

For those who may disagree, flame away if you want. Just calling it like I see it.

I agree. We can overcome these misses if we get some solid guys lined up this recruiting year. I have faith but we have to get to a point where we stop taking chances of people.
 
The question is really if we took these risky guys over sure things who could actually contribute. I doubt taht we did, which makes it pretty much a no-lose scenario. If they show up, it's a nice bonus, but if not, we didn't turn anyone we wanted away.
 
Gotta think that is just old, bad info.

It is old. It's said he's been committed for 2-3 years! I looked up Curitos JC where he is and it says he "would like to transfer to OU"
 
Even if Henry could academically get out of JUCO, you'd have to think the off the court flags are too many.

It's ok to take a risk to see if a kid qualifies. A lot of offers are out as soph and jr when you would be taking your act or sat.
 
It looks like he is still planning on playing at OU according to his twitter page.

Yeah. That's why I bumped the thread.

First I saw that verbalcommits added him as a commit only on Nov 1st.
He wasn't there a week or so ago, last I looked.

Right after seeing that, I checked his Twitter and it still seems like he's coming to OU. Thought someone might know something new.

It's been on verbal com for a long time. It says on his juco website he's "hopeful" to attend OU after juco.
His twitter hasn't changed in 2 years.

He won't make it. OU Moved on

Looking at the verbalcommits link, that "Nov 1st" date does not mean much, as almost all the entries have that date.
