Very good class.

Christian James is underrated. He will have to sit out his senior season until at least January due to an injury, so he won't get much of a chance to move up in the rankings. But, if this kid isn't in the top 100 (ESPN and Scout has him as a four star and in the #80 spot), I'll eat my amateur recruiting hat without any seasoning and no water to wash it down.

The more I see of this kid, the more I like what will likely be OU's newest commit about an hour from now:

The headline on the mixed tape in the link below says he is H-Towns best kept secret:

That's a mean looking team. And a team that's going to be good for at least a few years.
