Alright guys, I was foolish enough to think I could step away from the house today, so again...you're welcome!
*Prior to this year Oklahoma had one commitment from a North Carolina high school product and in this class now has two commitments with Abdul Adams joining Austin Kendall.
*Adams is the No. 18 running back in the country, one spot ahead of Rodney Anderson last year.
*He marks the sixth straight year that Oklahoma will have landed a top 20 running back, and the last time they didn't? Was when they landed two Rivals100 all-purpose backs, Brennan Clay and Roy Finch in 2010. If you go back to 'any' back you can go all the way to 2009 when Oklahoma landed a four-star, but the nation's No. 30 running back Jonathon Miller.
*In something of a map note, he is the eastern most running back commitment Oklahoma has landed in the Bob Stoops era but only the second most Eastern in his own class thanks to the commitment of Ashton Julious of Scranton (Pa.) Lackawanna C.C.
*Adams had an offer from Alabama, he makes three of Oklahoma's last five running back commitments to hold a Crimson Tide offer - joining Samaje Perine and Keith Ford oddly enough Joe Mixon did not.
*He is the first running back from the Atlantic Coast in Bob Stoops' career - whether you consider that from his original home of Maryland or his current locale in North Carolina.
*He is the first one-time Michigan State commitment to end up in Norman since former Lowell, Mich. star Keith Nichol. A connection that may be a Heisman forecast for the player redshirting at his position in the class ahead of Adams, Rodney Anderson.
