June 2021 version of my 2022 Class Prediction –
Confidence numbers 1 thru 10.
*10 – verbal is incoming
*1 – total unsupported WAG
Last one in before the BBQ. OL is still a real mystery. Going to gamble on some choices to avoid a by the numbers conservative chalk list.
1. RB: Raleek Brown 5-8, 170, 4.3 California – Top 25. Verbal
2. RB Gavin Sawchuk 5-11, 185, 4.4 Colorado – Top 50. CN =9
I think OU grabs Gavin in July right after the BBQ
3. RB Jovontae Barnes 6-0, 195, 4.4 Vegas – Top 100 CN =8
I think we will see a quick decision from Barnes after the BBQ. Either he loves OU or he’s sticking with USC. Either way, answers are coming at RB.
4. WR Jordan Hudson 6-1, 185, 4.5 Texas - Top 50. Verbal
Looking elite in 7on7
5. WR Talyn Shettron 6-3, 190, 4.5 OK – Top 25 Verbal
Tearing up the camp circuit.
6. WR Luther Burden 6-2, 195, 4.4 Missouri – Top 25 Verbal
Everyone is freaking out over the Bama visit. OU gets him after that visit though.
7. TE Jason Llewellyn 6-5, 240, 4.8 – 3 star Verbal
8. TE Kaden Helms 6-6, 220, 4.6 – 3 star CN = 9
At the spring game, at the BBQ. Pretty easy to read OU is trending with their first signee from Nebraska in 30 years?
9. OT: Malik Agbo 6-5, 320, 5.2 Washington – Top 200 CN = 5
Agbo is leaning to LSU. But I think that if an OU visit at the BBQ happens that OU can grab a lead and win the recruiting battle.
10. OG/OT Cam Williams 6-6, 340, 5.4 Texas -Top 250 CN =8
Another Duncanville OL. Huge tackle that could easily likely slide inside.
11. OC Demetrius Hunter 6-3, 300, 5.2 Texas – 4 Star Verbal
12. Dayne Shor 6-6, 295, 5.2 Georgia – 4 Star top 200 CN = 6
It’s OU or Bama.
13. OG: Devon Campbell 6-4, 300, 5.2 Texas – Top 25, CN = 6
I’m still sticking with OU. He’s visiting in June and I think OU’s OL history grabs the lead for OU over UT.
14. OT Jake Taylor 6-5, 280, 5.1 Vegas – Top 300 CN = 7
Final 3 time.
15. DT Jaray Bledsoe 6-5, 280, 4.8 Texas Top 100 CN = 6
I flipped a digital coin choosing here between Bledsoe and McClellan. I just think Bledsoe might pick first.
16. DE Omari Abor 6-5, 245, 4.7 Texas - Top 100, CN = 7
OU is making connections at Duncanville and making real progress recruiting Abor from all reports.
17. DT/DE: Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy 6-4, 275, 4.8 – Top 25, CN = 9
The fast riser from a late summer camp where he won the DL MVP award with absurd workout numbers. Massive connections to OU. OU parents. Family in Norman.
18. DE: Derrick Moore 6-5, 260, 4.7 Maryland – Top 50 CN = 7
The pipeline continues. Awesome looking edge rusher.
19. EDGE OLB Kenyatta Jackson 6-4, 225, 4.6 Top 100 CN = 6
Derrick Brown? Going with an upset. The Hollywood connection pays off big.
20. LB: Kobie McKinzie 6-3, 230, 4.6 Texas – Top 75, Verbal
Best MLB in Texas. Top ten in Texas.
21. LB: Kip Lewis 6-2, 205, 4.6 Verbal
I actually made this pick before today’s recent developments. The best coverage LB in Texas?
22. Safety-Nickel Jayden Rowe 6-3, 210, 4.6 Tulsa Union – Verbal
23. Safety Zion Branch 6-2, 195, 4.5 Vegas – Top CN = 4
Okay, something is up with this recruiting. The radical change of direction and interest is a major red flag. I think OU has told Zion that they consider his brother Zacariah a take for 2023. Huge move with Zion also explains some movement at safety.
24. CB Austin Jordan 6-0, 185, 4.5 Texas – Top 150 CN=7
He’s down to 3. OU leading???? BBQ visitor. Bowman’s HS teammate becomes his Sooner CB teammate?
25. CB Gentry Williams 6-1, 170, 4.3 OK – Top 25, CN=8
Both parents are Sooner alums. Gentry just attended the Sooner Summit. Hurt his ACL this fall. He’s down to 6 teams. Visited for Spring Game. Just seems like things are going to work out here.
26. Safety Chace Biddle 6-1, 190, 4.5 Texas – Top 100, CN = 8
Teammate of Jordan Hudson, junior film highlights excellent coverage, ball hawking skills. Lots of rumors about OU leading. Crystal balls and Future casts starting to trend to OU.
