Tatum is apparently on flip watch.

We'll see.

 

[starbigd]

Reading that Tatum is feeling the effects of a split family. I'm absolutely CERTAIN he wants to be a Sooner, he grew up there.

But I think he also knows Texas has a better plan for how to use and grow him in the defensive scheme. He's going to waffle all season.

But right now, I doubt he flips.......no reason to at this juncture. He needs to sort out his family issues. And like I said earlier - regardless of the Texas/OU rivalry, make the best choice for him.

I could see a situation where OU and Texas split Tatum/Perkins, making this discussion much ado about nothing

All possible, but Perkins has all of a sudden started to be in the Texas discussion. I don't think it is a coincidence that Perkins getting linked to Texas and Tatum possible flip have come up at the same time. Lots of stuff goes on behind the scenes, so confidence today can be disappointment next week. I recommend you start tweeting them

Lol. I don't even have a twitter and if I did I wouldn't tweet 17 year old kids.

Also, Redmond is still on our board too.

Tatum will be at UT next weekend.

Perkins will as well. Apparently he and recent Texas commit Adeoye are real close. This is getting interesting.

Sooners staying hard after Woodbey.

Just a suggestion-----

Folks probably should be less cryptic with posts in order to help out fellow thread readers with accurate information.

We Hooplans need full names of recruits....the playing position of the recruit would greatly help too....you don't even need to type the full name of the position, abbreviations would be fine, such as QB, WR, S, OT, etc.

Because when someone just says Tatum, I'm sure many of us old timers (especially you Buckeye and Raider fans) start thinking of 'The Assassin'.

Thanks in advance!

REAL interesting reading.......

So Mike Farrell of Rivals interviewed Anthony Cook at the camp he's at this week.......and Cook says he's down to Ohio State and Texas, but that Ohio State DOES NOT LEAD for his commitment.

He says he has not made a decision either way but plans to commit in July.

I KNOW this will not sit well with the Ohio State fans that think they are waaaaay ahead and already own his commitment.......but we shall see how it all unfolds.

I'm sorry, but I laughed out loud.

Texas A&M lands commitment from 3-star RB Deneric Prince

Texas A&M lands commitment from 3-star RB Deneric Prince

Don't even understand why y'all offered this guy. Third on his HS depth chart......not even 500 yards rushing......slow as molasses........and I don't think he had a single P5 offer. What gives?

Edit: Looked at the wrong stats. Still 3rd on depth chart, 720 yards rushing......strange offer indeed

Now this is a great pickup. I like this kid a lot more than Snead, to be honest, who I think is gonna end up going elsewhere.

Got the transcript from this? I can't find it other than behind the paywall.

Its behind the paywall. Read it on someone else's account. Cook says nobody is in the lead, and that he likes several schools.

They didn't push him for more specifics, it's not a great interview. Interesting none the less. I don't think he's your top priority, and he probably knows it.

That said I DO think tOSU is in the lead even if he won't cop to it publicly.

Edit: He said reports that tOSU was in the lead are false, specifically.
