In all the years of Rivals, we've never listed walk-ons on our commit list

our average star rating has been brought down from 3.71 to 3.48 by the inclusion of 0* Liam Evans, 2* Bergan Kaysar, 2* Ace Hodges. I know in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter, but other schools list scholarship players only on commit list.
The average star rating is a reflection of how good your class is ranked. By including walk-ons it totally screws the rating..

Tackett Curtis transferring

He visited Oklahoma several times albeit with the old staff and ended up actually committing to the old staff after their departure to USC.

Venables offered him out of High School And he took a visit to Clemson.

Was a true freshman this year but has all the intangibles. Wonder if this staff will talk with him?

Scouting take: 2024 four-star OG Eddy Pierre-Louis is Sooners' next mauler

Oklahoma has landed the top interior offensive lineman in the country, and he's going to be the Sooners' next road grader if all goes according to plan. Here are my thoughts on Eddy Pierre-Louis from a film standpoint. https://oklahoma.rivals.com/news/sc...r-og-eddy-pierre-louis-is-sooners-next-mauler

Hoops notes: Oswin Erhunmwunse note, OU taking notice in a rising prospect, and more (Update Mon 10:40pm)

- As you are aware, Oswin Erhunmwunse is scheduled to visit Providence this week. As previously mentioned, Erhunmwunse is contemplating a reclassification. Should he decide to proceed with that, the likelihood of early playing time seems less favorable at Oklahoma, given the potential return of Sam Godwin and John Hugley next season. In contrast, Providence could entice him with the prospect of contributing as a freshman. While this may not be a decisive factor in Erhunmwunse's recruitment, it is certainly a consideration worth pondering. Another factor working in Providence's favor is its proximity to Erhunmwunse's home, facilitating multiple visits in a month. The competition between the two options remains closely contested, and I am eager to catch up with Oswin after his visit to Providence. At present, there is no unequivocal frontrunner.

Update 10:40 PM: Following a text exchange with a Providence contact, it appears apparent that Providence is currently in a position where the outcome is theirs to lose.

- On a more positive note, during the summer, Oklahoma initiated contact with Courtland Muldrew, a guard hailing from Springdale, Arkansas. Muldrew, who plays for Team Griffin alongside several other Oklahoma targets, has made a spectacular start to his junior season. Having observed multiple games of Springdale Har-Ber, I have consistently been impressed by Muldrew's exceptional skills. He stands out as one of the best and is arguably underrated.

In a recent conversation with a scout who has closely followed Muldrew's performances this season, the scout commented, "Muldrew excels in high-energy and high-pressure situations. His shooting ability boasts unbelievable range, making him a threat as soon as he crosses the half-court line. Serving as an upperclassmen PG this season, he effectively keeps his teammates focused on the game plan. His speed is formidable, making it nearly impossible to defend him without resorting to fouls. Whether shooting from beyond the arc or executing a dribble drive, he maintains an aggressive attacking style."

Oklahoma's coaching staff has taken note of Muldrew's outstanding performance this season. Muldrew mentioned that Oklahoma has reestablished contact with him, stating, "They are supposed to come down here soon." Notably, Oklahoma has yet to extend an offer to a point guard in the 2025 class, and Muldrew could potentially be the first recipient.

- Kaidon Rayfield stands out as one of the premier players in the state of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma City native has visited Oklahoma, Texas, and a few other schools, with upcoming visits planned to Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. The coaching staff at Oklahoma has maintained consistent communication with Rayfield, as indicated by a source close to him who mentioned, "The coaches have been excellent, engaging with him on a weekly basis." Rayfield is undeniably a name worth keeping a close eye on.
