Alright guys, I remembered this week - huzzah!
But that's where the huzzahs ends, for the moment, that's because I've got some defensive back news you all are not going to be excited about.
First off is that Dontae Manning has confirmed to me that he'll be taking an official visit to Texas A&M this weekend. I have been told that he informed the staff, Roy Manning is my understanding of who he let know, earlier this week so it's not as though it's something he was trying to sneak past.
As you all know, I tend to find that as a good sign but we'll see what happens here as obviously the Aggies will do all they can to turn Manning further South.
Still though Manning has always felt pretty steady with his decision.
The other bit of news is that four-star cornerback commitment Ryan Watts is on campus at Penn State today. Watts has been open about the trip and confirmed he is there with me. Again, I feel pretty good about where Oklahoma is - more so with Watts than Manning.
The interesting thing is if this opens up some doors for other schools to get back in on the chase for either.
*OK, back to some good news, the buzz I'm hearing on potential five-star quarterback Brock Vandagriff is blisteringly good at the moment.
"He left Oklahoma thinking very seriously about making the call," one source said.
It sounds like Oklahoma gave the family the impression they were more than willing to wait for him if there was an inclination that the Sooners were real contenders. It sounds like that hint was definitely given and now the Sooners are right in the thick of the race.
In fact, if what I'm hearing is right, they are considerably more than that.
Vandagriff had mentioned next spring as the final part of his decision process but it sounds like he is more than willing to get things done with. I've heard it could come 'any day now' and I've also heard that he'd like to get one last pitch from Georgia before coming to anything final. All in all though, it sounds like everyone is chasing Oklahoma and we all might know a verdict by the end of the month.
*A lot of you had asked about where things are with Bryson Washington following his visit to Texas last weekend. I've been given the impression that things went well in Austin but there was nothing to turn him away from the idea that has most believing the Sooners are on top.
He is working to set up one more visit with Oklahoma though I'm not yet sure it will happen - that had been a real issue for quite some time before his official visit.
*Finally, listen to the pod alone, I was informative, funny, and probably a bit too audibly sexy for some of your WAGs to act appropriately.
