Feb Recruiting Update '18 ST2k18 - Offense Projection

I projected class need  and now I'll move forward with some sure to be wrong predictions for the offensive class


just go ahead and accept that


Oklahoma will sign a strong offensive class,but the bulk of the impressive athletes will come from the trenches.. My prediction for the rest of the class will be relatively "weak:" relative to the OL class and  when compared to the skill position talent SoonerSquad17. That's to be expected. 

Now before we get started: Don't take this as gospel: Subscribe to your recruiting site of choice and listen to those guys, or save your sanity and check back in late January 2018

This is just a recruitnik projections based on today .unless i say otherwise in a particular instance (aka "according to sources). Think of it as a rolling projection I'll do periodically in the offseason.


Red = Committed/ Blue =Offered, Projected Verbal  (...) = Other schools in running

QB- Cam Rising
RB- TJ Pledger -( Nebraska & USC) & Mychale Salahuddin - (Penn State Maryland, UVA)
Flexback/TE -  TBD
OT - Brey Walker   Anthony Mckinney (Iowa State) 
IOL- Curtis Dunlap (Florida/Miami)
WR -    Sean Shaw Jr (Kansas, Kansas State SMU) Drake Stoops (Iowa State, SMU)

Notes:

I believe OU ends up with another interior OL type. Bedenbaugh likes tweener type OT/OG (see OU offer Will Lawrence in Tennessee as an example)

Flexback/FB/TE It's quite possible Oklahoma doesn't take a Flexback this season for one but I think simply having offers out to some that fit the mold means one will make themselves known at some point this cycle  

The WR spot is iffy to me, at the time of this writing neither Shaw Jr or Stoops have offers, but are the type of recruits who'll end up at OU this cycle in my opinion. I also think C.J. Moore will be an instate WR to watch as we get into this summer and fall. If we do land an out of state WR I would think it would just be one between Eagle, Bush and Wells. but I just don't expect it after last years haul


Tomorrow: Defensive Projection and a look ahead to Jr Day
