Lol. I guess so. He may develop into more but Oklahoma has so much depth at running back you’re gonna have to be SPECIAL to be the guy. Anderson is that guy. Pledger can be that guy. Sermon might be able to.
You're right though, he'll be a solid goal line back. I'm not upset about OSU not getting him, he would likely be no higher than 5th on our depth chart next year, if not lower.

Asomoah, though, is going to be a starter sooner rather than later. I'm not sure what the LB situation is at OU, but we're overloaded at the position, which might be why we didn't pursue him. Either way, he has stud potential for sure.

We need good LB.

5 star OG Jamaree Salyer has signed with Georgia.

Waiting on Brenton Cox and Cade Mays as the other 5 stars we have a shot at. A few more 4 stars favor us too.

Say what you want about Kirby Smart, but so far he has made good on his word of locking down local talent. You'll never be able to keep em all, but he's done a far better job than Richt ever did, though it appears Richt was better at recruiting Florida so far.

From what I heard, he had someone in his ear that convinced him Larry Johnson (OSU's DL coach) was retiring, and that's what made him decommit. He just committed to us in April, so it's not like Smart didn't have ample time to work on him.

Not upset at all. Look back at this dude's recruitment. He is all about the hype and attention. When he told some dude on Twitter that he'd commit to OSU if he got 100k retweets, it became obvious he's still pretty immature.

True, still sucks to lose a top OT in your own back yard though. I guess at least he went to Clemson and not Michigan or Ped State.

He's far from the first 5* OL from Ohio to not go to OSU, so I'm not gonna lose any sleep. It helps already having two mammoth blue chip OL in this class, not to mention we brought in three blue chip OL last year.

LOL, just saw that Dabo told Carman that Urban is on the "back end of his career". Whatever works :noidea:
