Unfortunately, I agree.

How can we even begin to assess a recruiting class until they've been given a chance to play? Examples: 1. Was anyone excited when NT signed a QB from Llano, TX? Turned out to be a pretty good linebacker named Brad Kassell. 2. Were any of you jumping for joy when we signed a 5'9" 190lb. running back from Tecumseh, OK by the name of Patrick Cobbs? 3. I don't recall ticker tape parades around campus over the signing of Scott Hall. 4. I seem to recall many, during the Fry era, pounding their chests over the signing of Milton Collins. He didn't pan out. Give these kids some time to develop and then see how you would rate them. Some will exceed expectations and others fall woefully short, but at least give them a chance.

PMG, why don't you call him up and bend his ear instead of eating up nearly an entire page of this thread?

Hey, I wish him well in Oklahoma and wish he would have worked out here. I just hate we used a scholarship on him, but then again, many players don't always work out.

The true grade can be assigned in 2 or 3 years.

I noticed something interesting on the two running backs from Houston NT was recruiting. Nathan Guillory signed with Coffeyville, so I wonder if we placed him there. Nembhard still hasn't signed. Both are relatively small though.

Heard he was a problem in the locker room also.

I know. I was just making reference to him following his girlfriend. Sorry my sense of humor was lost on you.

Where is McNookie State?

Just living up to his/her's user name.

Carson Coffman ? No Victor Gill ? Greyshirt offer.

Since my quote is noted in your post, I'm sure this was aimed at me. My complaint is that we should do both, pick a highly rated QB, go after him, but have a backup plan in place. Instead, NT goes after one, loses out on him to another school and has nothing to show for it.

"Straight Arrow" Gennero's hospital room was in the Biology Bldg. if I'm not mistaken. You could see the Administration Bldg just outside his window.

HIPPA Compliance doesn't allow them to release this information.

That's ridiculous. Payton was a grad of Jackson St.

I too wish him well, but again question our strategy of putting "all of our eggs in one basket" when recruiting a quarterback. DD did the same last year with the QB that eventually signed with Nebraska. I really think Meager will be much improved this year and am excited about what Wilson could bring to the team, but DD is going to have to continue to open up the offense to become more desirable to the quarterbacks out there.

Please explain this opinion.

Me too. I hope this isn't the result of our recruitment of Carson Coffman. Seriously, glad to hear all is well with DD and that the Buick just needed a tune-up.

I appreciate the link, but I was looking for something other than a Rivals site since Patton is not listed on there. That is somewhat surprising considering his stats and playing for a state championship team.

Does anyone have a good link to Oklahoma Prep Football similar to Dave Campbell's?

Anybody know of this verbal?

They look back at the 2001 class with their hits and misses. Proves just how reliable the ranking services are. DMN Recruiting

Highjacking Complete.

Any of you "older" posters that attended games in the Snake Pit remember the clickers they would give out? My mom hated those things because her ears would ring the rest of the night after a game.

Apathy of the admin.....apathy of the students....apathy of the alumni.....apathy of the community...apathy of the admin....apathy of the students....apathy of the alumni....apathy of the community....etc, etc, etc... See a pattern? Think one feeds off of another? It has to stop somewhere.
