UPDATE: 6:57p - Just hung up with Tren'Davian Dickson who is headed to Stillwater tomorrow for their Jr. Day at OSU. Said he really enjoyed getting to watch OU practice this morning and getting to know Lincoln Riley a little bit. He said he really didn't know much about him when he was first announced as the new offensive coordinator.
Tren'Davian said he liked how Riley talked to him about how much they'll be using receivers moving forward. He said best part of the trip was getting to hang out in coach Stoops office and see all his awards and rings. But he got the most excited when I asked him about being in the OU locker room and being around all the gear. Seemed to really like the alternate uniforms.
Dickson said his latest offer came from Cal. He said he enjoyed his visit today and it really helped OU in where they stand with him. But he was pretty grounded. He said he doesn't see himself making a decision until October or November at the earliest. He just wants to keep taking it all in.
I asked him if practice looked sloppy at all this morning being the first one and he said it looked like a pretty clean practice from what he could tell.
But Dickson's recruitment continues on. OU made a really solid impression on him today though.
UPDATE: 6:33p - I have been DM'ing with Rodarius Williams a bit but haven't had a chance to speak to him directly. We setup a time to talk later but he responded to my request for an interview with "Anything for SOONERS!"
I then asked him "I take it you enjoyed the visit?"
His response: "Did I! Loved It!!"
More from Williams later.
UPDATE: 5: 57p - Just off the phone with Michael Williams. He told me he really enjoyed getting to know more about coach Diron Reynolds. Said he spoke with him yesterday before coming up and really seemed to hit it off with Reynolds.
Said his plans right now are to try and get out to Stanford and Cal and that he won't be at the Rivals Dallas camp because he hasn't been cleared by doctors following a shoulder injury.
Did say that Oklahoma made a real positive impression on him but he'd like to come back for some more one-on-one time with coaches as well. Said it was just a really busy day with all the recruits in town and he would love to come back when he has more time to really soak everything in.
UPDATE: 5:30p - Just hung up with Rivals250 offensive tackle commitment Jean Delance about his trip to Norman and where that left things standing with him and it's pretty clear that he is up in the air. He says he is committed and I think he wants to be but when you talk to him he brings things up that are genuine concerns to him.
The thing he mentioned to me was the depth chart.
"I didn’t even get to make the practice, I know how many tackles they have and I put that into consideration too," Delance said. "You’ve got to be honest with yourself, those guys are going to be sophomores by the time I get up there. So some of them will be juniors, that’s a big aspect of my recruitment.
"That’s something to look out for, that’s a hurtful thing. That’s a major downside.
"Basically it is, how many tackles they have - you have to be realistic about it."
UPDATE: 4:39p - [/B]Have been told that Chanse Sylvie[/B], Michael Williams, and Jean Delance have all left but most everyone else is currently at the big game with Kansas.
UPDATE: 6:18p - Rodarius Williams tweet
UPDATE: 6:18p - Rodarius Williams with Bob Stoops
UPDATE: 3:10p - [/B]Dontavious Jackson posting some pics from today's visit.
Jackson with Bob Stoops.
A picture from the uhh...bathroom.
Jackson with teammate, and fellow visitor Chris Brown - who is an interesting guy to watch as far as Oklahoma goes.
Jackson and Brown showing off Bob Stoops' jewelry in his office.
UPDATE: 2:45p - If something is going to happen with Shreveport (La.) Calvary Academy safety visitor Chanse Sylvie think it might happen in the very near future. He is about to go in and meet with Bob Stoops if what I'm told is correct...
UPDATE: 2:12p - New Orleans Warren Easton three-star linebacker Pernell Jefferson just shot me a text with the picture below and told me he is having a great time in Norman. Think a decision is still very much possible.
UPDATE: 1:52p - Another guy who made it to Norman is Dallas Bishop Dunne 2017 defensive back offer Chevin Calloway. He offered a bunch of pictures on the visit that makes me think that Sylvie has now made it to Norman.
Pic on his own:
Calloway with Sooners cornerback Zack Sanchez.
Calloway with defensive backs coach Kerry Cooks.
From left to right: Rodarius Williams, Chris Brown, Chase Sylvie, Cooks, Calloway, and (Unknown).
I've got a good guess on the two guys that are listed as 'unknown' but due to the quality of the picture can't quite make it out and the guys I am thinking they are don't have pictures online so checking.
UPDATE: 1:10p - So far Twitter has been fairly quiet re: offers, commitments, general arrivals, etc. but one of the key visitors of the weekend, Rivals250 linebacker Dontavious Jackson of Alief (Texas) Elsik, tweeted about his arrival just a short time ago.
ORIGINAL: Guys, players are starting to roll in and obviously were on hand, to varying degrees, during this morning's practice.
I've been able to confirm a few things - along with the Andraez Williams, did not make it due to a driver's education course he had scheduled for today.
Also, Chanse Sylvie apparently did not make the trip up to Norman with his teammates but I'm not told that he has cancelled just that he hasn't made it 'yet'. We'll see how that goes.
Finally, in this opening note, remember that the list of California visitors is expected to make it to Norman tomorrow.
