Can’t wait

Hopefully, the results after this weekend's festivities, will help to offset the portal news we received yesterday.

I'm still looking for 4 commits before June 30, of course, I may still be looking for them after July 1, if necessary.

This one along with another DL (Stone) would make our year in recruiting



There are only 6 recruits rated as 5* by every recruiting service

3. 5-star Plus+ DL Williams Nwaneri

School: Lee’s Summit (Mo.) Lee’s Summit North
On3 RPM: Oklahoma 79.9%, Missouri 4.3%, Tennessee 2.8%, Oregon 2.3%
Previous Ranking: No. 6
On3 NIL Valuation: $314K
Expert’s Take: “Williams Nwaneri I think is the most physically gifted five star prospect regardless of position. He just has a huge frame at 6-foot-6 plus and over 250 pounds with very long arms. I believe his arms are probably over 36 inches based off some measurements we have to go along with 11 inch hands and is highly athletic. This is a guy who ran a sub five second 40 on the laser as a rising junior so really impressive physically and he started to put together on the field as well on Friday nights. He had 12 sacks and 22 tackles for a loss on a team that made the state championship game as a junior. He started to put it together in his upside as an interior pass rusher you could argue as high as anybody in this cycle.” — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

11. 5-star DL David Stone

School: Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy
On3 RPM: Oklahoma 80.6%, Michigan State 15.0%
Previous Ranking: No. 11
On3 NIL Valuation: $286K
Expert’s Take: “David Stone has long been one of the top defensive lineman in the cycle. I think David Stone is his high-end combination of first step quickness and length and is very disruptive. We had to see him make some plays against top flight competition as a junior at IMG Academy.” — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

On the latest episode of Red Dirt Rambles, Oklahoma LB Jaren Kanak revealed why he ultimately decided on OU.

For Jaren, there was one factor that stood above the rest...

Coach Brent Venables -- here's why:

“Sometimes at schools, coaches put on a mask and try to be somebody different for recruits. But since being here, Coach Venables has been the same guy every day. The relationship has grown stronger, and I couldn’t ask for a better coach, honestly." - (
