UPDATE: 10:26p - Talked with Charleston Rambo, the Rivals250 wide receiver of Cedar Hill, Texas tonight and it's clear that he really enjoyed himself.
I think a big part of the trip for him was to be around Dennis Simmons some more after spending much of his recruitment being targeted by Jay Boulware (his area recruiter).
"I’m still open, but they are still probably at the top of my list since they are showing the most love. Both from coach Boulware and coach Simmons," Rambo explained.
Oklahoma didn't get a commitment today but it's not out of the realm of possibility to think it could happen down the line.
UPDATE: 9:43p - Joe: It wasn't just juniors at OU's Junior Day. One of the top offensive lineman in Texas for the class of 2018 and Oklahoma offer Darrell Simpson was in attendance and spoke with me following his visit.
This wasn't the 6-foot-7, 310-pound Justin (Texas) sophomore's first trip to Norman, and it was fairly apparent it won't be his last:
"I just love coming up to Oklahoma."
Say it with me now... Full. Update. Coming.
UPDATE: 9:04p - Joe: Got a chance to catch up with 2017's No. 118 overall player and Lancaster (Texas) WR Omar Manning about his trip up to Norman for Oklahoma's junior day.
I'm starting to get the vibe you all will see a trend of guys having a very positive experience from this weekend and Manning was no different.
"I absolutely loved it. The staff, the environment, what they're doing with the facilities is amazing."
Again, full update coming.
UPDATE: 8:04p - I spoke with Oklahoma's Rivals250 wide receiver commitment Cedarian Lamb about his visit to Oklahoma and this sums up most of the conversation - 'everything is beautiful here'.
He wasn't just talking about scenery, you could tell he just found something that felt like a good fit.
I asked him about the concern hanging over some of your heads, LSU, and I think you'll like what he had to say.
"They haven’t been in contact with me, it’s just been all OU," Lamb said.
Is that how you want thing to stay?
"That’s how I want it to stay."
Full update coming.
UPDATE: 5:53p - Bill Bedenbaugh's tweet seems to solidify the assumption that Robinson has committed.

We are working on confirming.
UPDATE: 5:49p - Baker Mayfield appears to have broken some recruiting news by announcing an apparent commitment by 2017 Rivals100 guard Tyrese Robinson.
UPDATE: 4:52p - Levi Draper enjoying Jr. day with Bob Stoops in Norman.
UPDATE: 4:23p - Have been able to confirm that Rivals250 linebacker Anthony Hines of Plano (Texas) East was not able to make it to Norman due to his responsibilities with Team USA.
UPDATE: 3:07p - Five-star safety Jeff Okudah seems to be enjoying his trip to Norman.
UPDATE: 1:50p - We have our first pictures from junior day with Sooners Rivals100 quarterback commitment Chris Robison including one with Bob Stoops.
UPDATE: 1:46p - Got word from someone on hand that the player who is as impressive as any is, perhaps not surprising, the day's lone five-star visitor - Jeff Okudah of Grand Prairie (Texas) South Grand Prairie.
"He and Barnes would be an impressive pair of safeties."
UPDATE: 1:43p - Another player I'm told is on hand is 2018 offensive tackle offer Darrell Simpson of Justin (Texas) Northwest, who stands an enormous 6-foot-7 and 310-pounds.
UPDATE: 1:26p - Another guy that has impressed a few people during check-in, McKinney (Texas) Boyd Rivals100 offensive guard (though there is talk of moving him to tackle in our next update) Tyrese Robinson. Apparently carrying very little bad weight.
UPDATE: 1:21p - I won't have every guy as they arrive but do know that Jeff Okudah, Robert Barnes, and Cedarian Lamb have all arrived.
Quote on Lamb, Oklahoma's Rivals250 wide receiver commitment from someone on hand seeing him for the first time?
"(Lamb) is the real deal."
ORIGINAL: OK guys, sorry it's been quiet but this event isn't starting for roughly another 45 minutes - about 1:30 and will run until 6:00.
Mainly we'll be posting pictures, any scraps we hear in this thread.
I don't expect a ton of breaking news because all of these guys, save Adam Beck, already have offers. But here is the list of expected visitors, note that Mannie Netherly is not on the list, he apparently canceled late.
Paulson Adebo
Adam Beck
Jordon Austin - 2018
Robert Barnes - COMMIT (RIVALS250)
Levi Draper - COMMIT (RIVALS250)
Cedarian Lamb - COMMIT (RIVALS250)
Omar Manning
Jeff Okudah (FIVE-STAR)
Charleston Rambo (RIVALS250)
Tyrese Robinson (RIVALS100)
Chris Robison - COMMIT (RIVALS100)
