Dead Period: Starts in about 36 hours, which means the final push of the class of '17 is here. Dead Period means no in person communication or campus visits.
Wardaddies: Coach Thibs added two prospects on the defensive line late, DT Tyreece Lott formerly committed to Texas Christian and DE Troy James who flipped to Oklahoma from Arkansas. This will likely end the defensive line class for Oklahoma as Marvin Wilson is a long shot and Taquon Graham appears to be honoring his commitment to Texas.
Lotts frame means he can pack on good weight and his punch at the point of attack is fine, he needs technique work, redshirt year will do him well.
James is an interesting prospect, great burst, he'll need to get a little bit stouter in the trunk but if he can and keep his speed than that is a great recipe
We gonna replace Phillips or nah? Kish and Co are currently trying to secure Tyler Taylor. it's the eleventh hour which means this may be unlikely.You send this kid an NLI and see what happens
Whose Left: Ryan Jones, 4* Athlete from North Carolina is probably the next one in and possibly the end of the class barring Taylor and the rumored surprised
Surprise Commit? Real G's move in silence like Lasagna aka loose lips sink ships. There's a few possibilities of kids who have been enamored with OU but committed elsewhere, speculating isn't going to help the cause so I wont add to it.
EDIT
2:00 P.M. Four Star Athlete Ryan Jones of North Carolina is in. He originally committed to UNC as a WR but will likely play Safety and compete for kick off and punt return duties for Oklahoma. Here is his film
Jones as i said above may be the last piece of Sooner Squad 17 pending the outcome of Taylor's decision and if the rumored signing day flip pulls the trigger.
