Yet another OL commitment Saturday. Logan Howland

[Plainosooner]

Three star from New Jersey. 6'7, 280. Four this week. And a fifth tomorrow or Monday, likely.

Bedenboss is going to have a lot of great options.

How many 3* kids has OU got now?

Howland will likely be a 4 star by mid season. He has e very good motor at the snap. Supposedly equal in run and pass schemes. Down side is that he plays in a pretty weak football area. Tough to get a read on the depth of his skills.

How many 3* kids has OU got now?

In the last two weeks, we have seven new commitments. Four are 4-strars, three are 3-stars. But these 3-stars are pretty sought after, except maybe Howland. I think the defenders are tough guys who can run.

This one will be a good one by the time we hit SEC, very athletic Tackle, former tight end. Similiar to a Trent Williams. Cant teach size, 6'7 280, will be 6'7 310 in two years time.

 

[Scottsdale.Sooner]

It appears that Florida State got Lucas Simmons. OU was not even in his final 4. He is the son of Able Simmons, OU O-Line in the late 90s.

Legacies apparently are out the window for the mighty dollar.

Trent's an absolute beast amongst beasts. I'll add Lane Johnson also. 👍

I know you are tired of hearing it from me but apparently Howland jilted Iowa but “they didn’t really want him” anyway ! I love it

Actually, they admit they did want him but pretty much threw in the towel on this commitment when they found out that OU was after him too. They know they're not within two tiers of the Sooners either historically or currently.

Only in their dreams and “next year”

As a team, agreed. When it comes to early round OL-TE draftees though, they’ve been pretty darn stiff over the past decade.

Three players OU are also after are:
Daylan Smothers, RB, announcing 7/14....an OU lean, 4-star from North Carolina
Payton Kirkland, OT, announcing 7/23....Miami may lead
Derrick LeBlanc, DL, announcing 7/28....Ohio State may lead

 

[Scottsdale.Sooner]

We could really use LeBlanc. Venables is working overtime on him.

You know it's hard to understand where these kids could land in the land of green rain.

Kirkland would likely end up at Miami, but Jacobe Johnson from Mustang is a pretty likely OU commit, and l've heard he's likely to be later this month.
