Slowly getting back to work mode, been dealing with a sick Pearl the last couple of days. Of course it happens on a bye week, ha.
Not too much earth-shattering stuff here, we're getting closer to the basketball signing period (Nov. 9) & it is the slow week for football.
No changes at all with Jacolb Cole. He's committed to OU, all is well. No worries.
The Sooners are hanging around with Kaden Cooper, but Alabama and Kansas seem to have pushed ahead. We used to talk about that a lot with Lincoln Riley early official visits. Porter Moser and company were able to get Cooper for an official in June, but now it's mid-October? Did the shine wear off?
OU absolutely pushing the 'hometown hero' angle for Cooper, but not sure it's going to be enough. Cooper has impressed everyone with his tenacity defensively in all-star camp settings in recent months. He continues to evolve and become a more complete player. Originally from Ada.
Keep waiting for more and more national news for Mack, but nothing really new. To me? No news is gonna be good news for OU as the Sooners continue to try to maintain the lead I believe they have had for Mack in recent months.
Florida State is there. OU hasn't been deterred at all in this recruitment. Mack was sensational at the Border event in Las Vegas over the weekend. Cooper and Mack had been talking about being early signing period commitments. We're three weeks away... so figure something soon.
As OU has been kinda sitting steady with 2023, the Sooners did have a major 2024 official visit last weekend in Trentyn Flowers. It's hard to get excited about a recently released top 13, but Flowers at least has OU in the early running.
Early reports are things went really well, and OU has done everything it can up to this point. Being an early official visit can be rough in the long run, so we'll see if Sooners can keep up in what will be an ever-changing recruitment for Flowers.
He's gonna have his pick of wherever he wants to go, but it gives you an idea of what Moser can do once he gets to really establish a connection. Always felt like he was playing from behind for the 2022 (for sure) and 2023 (a bit) classes b/c of when he arrived at OU. The 2024 crop is the first one where Moser has been entrenched at OU long enough to go ahead and build all the relationships necessary to build the class.

More of an FYI.
OU's scrimmage vs. OCU is next Tuesday. Seriously. 7 p.m. next Tuesday. We have not had access to a practice yet.
OU at Big 12 media day is Wednesday in Kansas City. Not gonna pretend we're there, but also don't envision OMG breaking news coming out of the event. Yormark's remark is probably gonna be the big one.
