spring practice....

It's going to be interesting to see how they do a 4-3 considering we seem to be short on D-linemen and are heavy on LBs.
I assume some LBs will have to move up to DE.

DE's from last year's roster total six:

Bledsoe (out until mid-season)
Ward (very good player)
Jackson ( RS freshman, listed as a DE/LB)
McGinnis (moved from LB)
Campbell (RS sophomore yet to contribute)
Mann (RS sophomore yet to contribute)
***********************************************
Three true freshman coming in:

Thomas (4 star)
Daley (3 star)
James (3 star)

So that's really only one proven DE (Ward) on the team. I have to believe Stoops will find at least three others among the other 8.

Cambell is gone. Stoops revealed it today.
 
Some uniform numbers have been assigned to a few newcomers:
4 Sermon
5 Brown.....all 148 lbs of him (?)....gotta be wrong. He's been listed at 170.
6 Draper
7 Sutton....he wouldn't get this number unless he's very very good !
8 Robison
9 Murray....all 246 lbs of him
15 Gumbs
25 Broiles
27 Hall
56 Humphrey
80 Calcaterra

Doucet will wear number 16 (from number 1)
Jordan Parker will wear number 1 (from number 9)
 
The defense under Mike Stoops has had way to many personnel, team and NCAA records recorded against him. Until he leaves Norman, OU has no shot at a NC. None


I'm going back to the petition from last year

His defensive game plans are garbage, his coaching ability is garbage, his defensive scheme is garbage, his personnel decisions are garbage, his ability to motivate players is garbage. Sooner Nation is tired of your garbage. Take your garbage 3-4 defense back to Arizona. Share this everywhere! “

They don't want him in Arizona. All i can say at this point is.....I will be very angry if I see sloppy defense, players CONFUSED, which was a common statement from all most all commentators. So I will refrain myself at this time.
