It's Rivals Rankings Week for the 2019 class and among today's topics is a Rival Views debating which WR should be ranked higher - Theo Wease or Jadon Haselwood:

Rivals.com

As always I wish I had more to give you but am told OU is being very protective this year. With new QB, I think Lincoln knows surprise has some value in it, especially with a first game against a decent opponent.

*The overall tone of the scrimmage I am told was that the defense was better than the offense. But it sounds like there weren't a ton of plays on either side of the ball.

I asked about interceptions, big plays, big runs...

*Told interceptions came late in the scrimmage with 3rd team guys.

*Told Rodney Anderson was the big play guy in the running game today.

*Was told CeeDee Lamb was the best receiver on the field today.

Obviously there was some concern about Neville Gallimore and his start to fall camp when he started out in a boot. He's been back out to practices and he was the first name that one source came up with when I asked about standouts on the defensive side of the ball.

* Kenneth Murray was singled out too as been the heartbeat of this defense.

* I asked about Caleb Kelly and how he looked, just was told he played but no one noticed him separating himself with big plays.

* Offensive line is still figuring it out up front. Was told they are not playing as a unit and look ugly at times.

* Overall I was told that it was super competitive between the offense and defense.

* Finally, I asked one of my sources who he would start after watching both QBs today. His answer?

He'd play both of them.

Sorry I don't have more to report than that. It was a really early scrimmage to avoid the rain and it ended shortly after 10am. Wish I had more individual play to tell you about, but it really sounded like it was a pretty drab scrimmage to watch. Not a lot of flashes on either side.

My son will be going through Rush this fall and I couldn’t be more proud that he will be matriculating to OU for his formal education. He just graduated from a private Catholic school in Austin and is very excited about his upcoming years in Norman. My question to my fellow posters on the board is what fraternities are good at OU and what should he try to avoid? I am aware that every fraternity has its strengths and weaknesses, but am at a loss as to which ones are the best to consider. He has a long legacy to DU at Oklahoma dating back to the 1920’s, but I don’t want to push him into one direction. He’s a smart kid and I want him to make his own decisions. Any suggestions on this question would be forever appreciated as I want his time at OU to be most memorable. Thanks, in advance.

The other day on a recruiting thread people were mentioning that you could create a national championship team with the guys OU came in 2nd for in recruiting. What are some notable guys in recent memory that OU just barely missed out on?

Do we still play this game?

Figured we could consolidate all the tweets to one thread to keep track. @StoopsBros make it rain!

No BS here. I really need some reason to be excited about Chip Viney. Can someone list his amazing accomplishments for me.

He's going to Texas A&M -- shit school, shit choice, completely foolish.

But if he and his parents would have given OU a chance, they would have had an amazing time today in Norman with the coaching staff, thefellow recruits and the buzz that is Oklahomaright now. They would have gotten to know Riley -- not only the coach -- but the man, and they would have been blown away, especially if they dared to compare him to the other head coaches they've been dealing with.

It's a shame. Oklahoma is going to have a great team this year and even better teams in the very near future. He could have been part of -- maybe even been the key -- in them winning a national championship.

Without knowing his personal feelings, I got the sense Jeffrey wanted to visit today. I think the family was afraid they might get another flat tire and it would make them more tired and a they’d have to return money they’ve already spent..

In the end, Jeffrey probably would have trasferred from OU whether he visited Norman today or not. But he and his family missed out on a great time and a great weekend.

UPDATE: 3:08p - I've had a few conversations that are the potential of some good news coming to the BBQ this weekend, one guy I'm told to keep a close eye on?

Last year's BBQ commitment Jeff Carter of Mansfield (Texas) Legacy.

And yes, I'm told it sounds like Oklahoma is now on board with taking one of the more diverse defensive backs in the 2019 class.

ORIGINAL: So, you guys miss me?

No?

Well, I don't blame you,bang up job by @BPrzybylo, @Eddie_Rado, and @Carey Murdock last week.

At any rate, I am now tagging back in and wanted to offer some word I am hearing on Rivals100 2020 QB offer Bryce Young.

Almost immediately after today's announcement I got word that there were rumors swirling about a USC pledge.

I have thought the Trojans had a shot since talking to him, and others, in Atlanta so I went ahead and hit up a few sources.

The first response seemed to think I had taken up comedy on my week off - as he has seemed "close" (to committing to Oklahoma) ' as of late.

The more people I talk to the more uncertainty seems to abound but the thing that has stuck in my head is something we have discussed before, the reality that he has a lot of respect for Spencer Rattler and whether that might be enough to give USC an edge.

Honestly I can't help but wonder if Kyler Murray's situation helped get Rattler in early but hindered the pursuit of Young.

I have heard nothing definite but USC is definitely making a run that I wasn't expecting a few months ago.

Me? Jack and Coke with a squeeze of lemon...Delish.

He was out of position often. He took bad angles. He wasn’t a reliable tackler in the open field. He didn’t create turnovers.

How much can you blame on Mike (I blame everything on Mike BTW)?

I am honestly asking, why the love. I just don’t see the potential. To me he looks like a weight room warrior and that’s it.

Someone tell me in football words what you see. Don’t just say, he is a freshman, he will get better.

Safety in the Big12 is very tough but we know early on Tony Jefferson could tackle well. Some people have an instinct to locate the ball and get their, I don’t see it with Murray.

So, I was having this conversation with a friend, last night. I think we have covered this on the board, however, IDGAFF.

What are your most overrated bands in history? I'll start:

• Bruce Springsteen (by a mile)
• U2
• The Grateful Dead

With the commitment of Woodi Washington, Oklahoma is now No. 3 in the Rivals rankings.

Rivals.com

who on this board actually went to this game? Bob Stoops told me this was his most memorable home game. The atmosphere was incredible. After the game the drive thru Norman and the city was unreal. Does anyone have any good stories about that Gabe?

Guys, will be out this evening - didn't want you all to keep F5ing until the keyboard just gave out.

Nothing wrong, just need a bit more time for a few pieces - remember the basic outline was 'big guys'.

**Check out what he said about his commitment: STORY LINK

I have seen Bo Jackson, AD, Percy Harvin, and Westbrook play in person. I would say Jackson was the best I seen even though I was young and it was post injury. He was 2 for 3 against Nolan Ryan that night. I know we have some "experienced" gents on this board and was curious. Who have you seen?

This is the longest stretch in program history that the program has ever gone without winning a national championship. Let that sink in.

The longest stretch being 1956 (Bud) to 1974 (Barry) (18 years).

Having missed opportunities in 2003, 2004, 2008, 2016 and 2018. It seems kind of crazy given the career Stoops had from 1999-2017.

so I'll be a daddy by this time tomorrow night.

Lots of emotions. Very different than I thought it would feel. Kinda strange that this evening at dinner I almost felt sick to my stomach and then I felt very indifferent moments later.

I guess in ways, it still doesn't seem real. But I imagine it will feel very real, very soon.

To all you dads out there, major kudos to you all. Pregnancy is a crazy 40 weeks!!!

It’s cold in Norman. The Cali boys and the Florida boys probably think it’s very cold!

I worry that the weather is gonna be a huge detriment to recruiting this weekend. Am I wrong?

For me, this is partly on the NFL.

Saw this on Reddit and thought it was pretty awesome. Login to view embedded media
Of course Arkansas State has a defensive lineman named Dee Liner. This would make Key and Peele proud .

Source: OSU DB coach Kerry Coombs is leaving for the Tennessee Titans. He worked with Mike Vrabel at OSU.

Losing at football is tough to take, but any other OU sport that loses I don't really care
