Haven’t heard anything but if one transfers my guess would be Kennedy Brooks.
And if Brooks transfers, it’s still a pretty crowded RB corps: Anderson, Sermon, Adams, Sutton, Pledger and Thomas

If we had Defensive strength to match Offensive power, we could run the bone again...

why would brooks transfer? last season was his first season at Oklahoma and had surgery before the season started? my bet would be adams

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

OU is and has been rich w/ RBs for a number of years. Which is a good thing. My bet would be Adams. He played awhile, but then w/ the return of Anderson and the strong running of Sermon, his playing time way down.

 

[kcstorm06]

Adams is talented but his ball security was leaving him on the pine. Sad to see him go but he has some good years left in him.

 

[CTOkie]

Rodney Anderson’s decision to stay or go pro may be a factor in someone’s decision to transfer.
Agree that Adams could decide to leave especially if Brooks has a good spring.

Anderson is staying put. No NFL for him this year.

Anderson is staying put. No NFL for him this year.

the NFL does not like senior RBs. and with his injury history he might? have should have left now before getting another whole season of wear and tear. although his stats will look fantastic he just lost a year of making money when the avg NFL RB only gets 3 yrs of earnings.

 

[CTOkie]

No one KNOWS what Anderson's decision will be at this time.

On TMA this morning Carey said Rodney is staying put, and that Abdul Adams has put feelers out to the ACC, particularly, V Tech, Come back.

It's going to be Adams

No shit.

ummm.. not exactly correct.

 

[BoomSoon21]

Adams would be my guess as well.

 

[jd1025]

Rodney will only have 1 more year and this is Suttons last year. So just keep the cupboard full...this offense can use as much as we can get...If Pledger and Brooks can sit still for next year they will be next.

The NFL also doesn't like RBs that have multiple years of injury and only one year of proven stats. It's a very smart move for him to stay. He'll need another solid year, injury free to prove his worth and that he's durable. Whoever is advising him is doing the right thing.

 

[CTOkie]

ummm.. not exactly correct.

It’s been mentioned in the media that Anderson has a decision to make by January 15th. That’s all I’m going on. It’s likely he will stay at OU as far as I can tell. I hope he does.

 

[oumodguy]

Anderson is staying.

 

[Schoonerman]

I think Anderson stays and hope no one transfers. But it would not surprise me if it was Adams since he dropped from starter to third string due to his ball security issues.

 

[harolds]

I have heard that if DeMond Parker would have come back Stoops first
year here in 1999 he may have lasted longer in the NFL, he was a stud hoss
runningback while at OU.

 

[Southpaw Sooner]

It’s already been reported on here that Adams has been inquiring with some ACC schools. I can’t remember who said it, which would help in the validity of that report

Agree.
Would hate to see a back (Adams) who had a 99 yard run to his credit transfer.......but then, I saw sophomore Mike Thomas run 90 yards against Oregon in 1972 and he was gone the following year to UNLV....then on to the Redskins three years later.

 

[runningback43]

Adams is a good back, but he isn't a great back. He has big time ball security issues, and in my opinion is a distant third on the depth chart.

 

[OUnabomber]

Well Adams barely got to play the 2nd half of the season so I'm guessing he isn't too happy about it. Don't blame him if he wants to go somewhere else

 

[bcsoonerfan]

If Adams goes, hope he succeeds.

I understand, Texas fans hate he is coming back to OU

Rodney has only played one full season at OU.
.
Many RBs including Heisman winners like Henry of Alabama stayed all 4 years.

Henry left as a junior, after 'Bama rode him like Secretariat to the Natty in '15. That point about RA stands though; with his injuries both occurring so early in the year, he essentially just played his freshman year in terms of playing time.

 

[lexusooner]

If anyone transfers I think Adams is the candidate - talented but fumble issues have kept him in the dog house ...

Thomas transferred because he simply wouldn't block.

Adams averaged 7.4 yards on 112 carries. How many times did he fumble? He is a very gifted back. Too much is made of fumbles when you have a back with these numbers. If Switzer sat his running backs for fumbing we would have missed watching a shit load of great Sooner backs. This is a Bob Stoops holdover thing. Yeah, I know the wishbone is more apt to fumbling but it’s still fumbling.
