Sooners losing Lampkin to NFL in surprise decision

So....

This time of year we always keep our ears to the ground expecting the unexpected. Well, we regret to inform you that the unexpected has happened.

The last couple of days we have heard that someone unexpected was going to declare for the NFL draft. After checking with sources inside the OU program we now know this is a legitimate situation.

We expected Orlando Brown and Mark Andrews to leave early for the NFL. We wondered if Rodney Anderson might not be someone who looked into it. But it turns out, he hasn't.

But we can now confirm that defensive tackle Du'Vonta Lampkin has informed the OU coaches that he intends to leave Oklahoma early and declare for the NFL draft.

We were told that a lot of people around the OU program had reached out to Lampkin to attempt to dissuade him from making this decision. But as of today, we were told that he has made the decision to forego the rest of his college eligibility and declare for the NFL Draft.

We're told that this decision has been finalized by Lampkin and he will not be returning to OU.

Obviously people inside the program are not behind this decision, but Lampkin has decided this is the best course of action for his career.

Devonte Lee and E.J. Smoot are the best two playmakers in 2018 Class for the State of Oklahoma

When I watch tape of all the the 2018 recruits out of the State of Oklahoma in such a deep class two kids really stood out with their play making ability. Devonte Lee and E.J. Smoot. Watch the film yourselves. It is no way Devonte Lee should have not got offered by a Oklahoma School. The kid is the true definition of beast mode. EJ Smoot is next level and his ceiling is so high it’s scary.

MERRY CHRISTMAS OUR SAVIOR IS BORN!!

OT WARNING: Adult Content. Do you &/or your wife

have a nickname for your johnson? Mine is redundant, but he has a last name too. Willie of course. Last name is Hungstud. The u's are short.

Perhaps you have named yours after a battery company? It can be off color but, for the love of God, keep it moderately clean.

I realize we're playing with fire again today. @pinnaclesw probably got excited when he read playing with. I thought @wuffee, @Fish7729 , @Dr. Mazeppa , @drpacheco , and alot of you other guys would enjoy some light-hearted fun. Again we wish to keep this going so don't get too carried away please.

Note: The wife refers to mine as "your little thingie"... "Don't point your little thingie at me Buster."

OT: Grace Lyons

Where I was almost perfect with my predictions of where the commits would fall in the last rankings for the 2020 class, I am failing miserably with the final rankings of the 2018 class. Grace Lyons was ranked #5 in the last go around and predicted around the same this time. Brooke Vestal is the last OU commit and because of injuries I predicted a fall from #1 to #9. That only means one thing, she will probably stay at #1.

13 | Grace Lyons, MIF | Firecrackers – Rico (Oklahoma)

You would be hard-pressed to find another glove in the infield that is better than Lyons. Whether she’s moving to her backhand or forehand side, every play she makes seems effortless and calculated. “What she does in the field defensively is ridiculous, there are few if any in her class who can do the things Grace does.” said one club coach. This season for at O’Connor (Phoenix, AZ) High, she batted .526 with 50 hits, 47 runs scored, and 35 RBIs in 33 games played. And she showed extra-base power as she hit seven home runs with 14 doubles. Lyons held .982 fielding percentage out of 109 total chances. She will sign with Oklahoma this week.

Earliest Memory of Being a Sooner?

The night's whisky and watching that top ten RBs video really took me back. What's your earliest memory of being a Sooner? I remember as a 4-5 y/o kid, my best friend, my brother and I stacking pillows and blankets as high as we could and then taking turns leaping over the "pile" doing our best impression of Billy Sims. I also vividly remember a few years later, playing ball in my buddy's yard, showing exactly how I would've done it different if I were Kelly Phelps playing against Nebraska. Funny what we remember!

Enough is Enough...(READ IMMEDIATELY)

As Plaino told you all I've been considering shutting down this board so let's just get that reality out of the way and out there for you all to read and realize.

This is a free board guys, it's not worth my time, literally, to spend the amount of time I must to police this board. And to Plaino's credit he HAS spoken up on behalf of the entire board and I've at least decided to step back from the edge and consider how we might right the ship.

I've asked, warned, and threatened before but this time...it's just flat out martial law.

***If you post an unprovoked attack, snide remark, etc. you'll be banned for a month. If you do it again, you'll be banned - and I'll ban the IP as well. Basically, I'll do everything in my power to make sure you never post here again. It's that simple.

***If you respond to an unprovoked attack in any way other more extreme than 'this is going to go badly', you'll be banned for a month. If you do it again, you'll be banned - and I'll ban the IP as well. Basically, I'll do everything in my power to make sure you never post here again. It's that simple.

***If you bring an old/current/any other post/argument/etc. into a new thread you'll be banned for a month. If you do it again, you'll be banned - and I'll ban the IP as well. Basically, I'll do everything in my power to make sure you never post here again. It's that simple.

I'll stop repeating this basic thing, I think you're getting the idea. All this pettiness, it's over. Squash it, sign up for the pay board, take up underwater basket weaving, I just don't care what you do but find a way to build a bridge and move past it.

The reality of all of this? Some of you and your days on this board are numbered.

The only difference here?

I'm excited to take out some of the trash.

I'm not going to be watching every post but those guys you can't stand...they'll report you to me in a heart beat (you can all now see the report 'button' that is in EVERY post someone makes. You see something that is across the line, report it to me and I'll take care of it.

I'll be checking in from time to time and will handle things that haven't been reported at that time.

This was once a great free board - and no it's not just the 'new folks' that ruined it. For this board, those who are seeking change are no more problematic than those who reject it.

Garrett Richards

Fella is just absolutely killing it this year. One of the best pitchers in the league.

10-6
3.24 era
83 SO.

Btw was in drafted coming out of highschool...and if anyone knows anything about baseball they know if you can throw a ball someone will draft you in the 40th round...then goes to OU and plays under SG and the dude goes in the 1st round and is killing it. Anywho...makes me miss the good ole days of OU baseball.

6. Insults directed at Donald59
5. Anything Donald59 writes. (whoops.)
4. "3 Star" Sarcasm

2. Carey's Art.
1. Personification of "Scoop" in SS.

(Sorry, Josh. But man, it grates. And doesn't it wear you out?)

Humor that will never get old:

1. "First."

10. Calling Boren The Wallflower until he grows a pair.
11. Bobcat your nuts.

Honorable Mention: 1) References to (or encouragement of) Eddie hiding in foliage to secure classified information; 2) Mocking Redzone when he goes off half-cocked and backpedals like a madman instead of just owning it, man; 3) Wufee's "old fart" humor; 4) Hawg Lock.

Please don't take this personally. Unless you should.

How much of an issue was Bob's hip?

Any of you "insiders" care to shed some light on this?

If you've ever known anyone who needed hip, or even knee replacement, you know how bothersome the pain can be to their everyday life. Imagine then trying to run an elite football program dealing with all of that pain on a daily basis especially after one of your players died to an overdose of prescription pain medication. I'm guessing we will never know how much of an issue it was but I think Boren's comments about a reinvigorated team had as much to do with the head man of the team than anything.

Chamberlain and Pendley go first, second in NPF Draft

From OU Softball press release:


Oklahoma softball seniors Lauren Chamberlain and Shelby Pendley made history Wednesday night as they became the first teammates in the history of the National Pro Fastpitch draft to be taken with the first two picks.

The USSSA Pride selected Chamberlain with the No. 1 overall pick, making her the first player in Oklahoma history to be taken first in the draft. Previously, DJ Mathis was the highest Sooner chosen when the Akron Racers took her second overall in 2009.
