Again, whatever coping mechanism makes you feel better. OU is the undefeated champ of illegal inducements so Sooners should never assume kids go Norman for the ambience or program spirit.
If you want to ignore the huge number of connections and close relationships with A&M coaches and players Hicks had going back to his 7th grade year to feel better about college recruiting, that is your right.
If you want to ignore the fact that OU's coaching staff happily bolted for Los Angeles and a large number of players left with them leaving a fairly uncompetitive roster behind, that is your right.
Blame it on the bag. It is easier that way.

I don’t know if it’s UGA/OU battle or UGA/Mizzou or Mizzou/OU.
Mizzou - home state team. Mizzou throws a large bag at one home state kid each cycle - I.e. 5-star Luther Burden. So if it’s money and home state then it’s Mizzou. In fairness, Mizzou has had some decent defensive line prospects over last several years.
UGA - win a Natty, most talent around him and great defensive coaches and NFL development then the choice is clear. UGA will put money up but not the biggest bag - they use as more an inducement to stay than to come.
OU - has probably recruited him the longest. Venables is bonafide defensive coach and has great history of NFL development. They need an anchor player as they enter the SEC and William Nwaneri feels like the guy.
I don’t know that any of these three teams should be overly confident and I believe the perceived leader has changed and at one time all three likely led for him. From reading between the lines of what I have read so far the longtime leader was OU and then for last 3 weeks it has seemed to be UGA but hearing Mizzou more now.
Who knows?

We can’t really bitch about this anymore. OUs NIL is now above most programs across the country likely just behind A&M and Texas. Nwaneri and stone both have 7 figure deals on the table at OU right now. OU is paying serious money now. Cant complain about bags anymore, We just money whipped Tatum away from usc. Tatum was ready to commit weeks ago and OU had to finalize his NIL deal which I have heard it’s around 500k

Let the OU melt begin. I wish you retards would've been on here back when Burden flipped from OU, it would've made it that much more entertaining. But you better get used to Mizzou beating that arse in recruiting if you keep focusing on recruiting Missouri. Welcome to the SEC baws
Bookmarked idiot.

What if I told pretty much all schools have bought most of their 5 stars? Long before it was legal even.

Well I get what your saying but this was last year and you probably was one of the same guys like me bitching and moaning about it lol….. this year yes we are now being competive and winning battles …… to the A@M fan who said Riley leaving had something to do with Hicks not signing with OU???? Seriously what the fricky frick are you talking about ? Venables was the sole reason he was going to come to OU…. The defensive coach ?????? Not the offensive coach who only recruited 5 star wrs and qbs .

Missouri fans are going to have a big let down I am afraid …. The more I think about it unless he’s just home sick person he’s not going to Missouri. Not to mention how much farther is Norman to KC probably a few hours more ? NIL program at OU is going to pay more than Missouri….. .to many things pointing to OU imo. Gl though .

Someone else posted this but they commented why would Mizzou offer the same position to someone else today if he was going there. May mean nothing but worth noting

DE is our position of greatest need on the defense. He may not end up at Mizzou, but I don’t think offering another DE has anything to do with the situation.
Posted on 7/30/23 at 10:09 am to MizzouAntler
The MU offer went out as soon as it came out he would not be visiting MU before his commitment. Mizzou insiders only thought they had a shot if he made it back to campus Monday. He turned them down and will not take any more visits before he commits. OU owns KC metro. Caden green and PJ proved that last year.

Thats reasonable thinking but the timing seems suspect. My take is why wait so long to offer others if the need was there all along. If they had a need for more than one I’d think they would have offered others well before now.

One MU insider said that he would feel a lot stronger if Mizzou could get him on campus like 4 days ago. A lot has happened in 4 days and that insider you are referring to is notorious for being extremely cautious talking about Mizzou’s chances at a recruit. There are insiders on both sides who are still very confident, but to read anything into the DE offer is innacurate. Mizzou literally just had a camp on Friday that kid attended and impressed the staff and we still have like 10 spots left to round out our class with DE being our biggest position of need. Dude would have gotten an offer regardless.

ON3 has it as of now:
Oklahoma
Sooners
79.6%
Missouri
Tigers
4.3%
Tennessee
Volunteers
2.8%
Oregon
Ducks
2.3%
I think its closer with Mizzou in close 2nd. He’s at OU today and Wed then heads to Oregon.
The above was as of 25 July when I checked On3. Now granted, even these services are wrong often enough but they do have lots of connections so if enough of them get info it can be telling to a degree.
As of today (30 July) they have it:
RECRUITING PREDICTION MACHINE
Oklahoma
Sooners
55.9%
Georgia
Bulldogs
21.4%
Missouri
Tigers
12.7%
Tennessee
Volunteers
1.7%
This recruit seems to be keeping it close to the vest so anything can happen and nothing is sure until signing day.

Im not saying Oklahoma in the lead is necessarily wrong, but anything with UGA ahead of Mizzou at this point is immediately invalidated.

Georgia is still sending out offers. Some are commitable, and some are not unless another prospect goes elsewhere.
At this point a ton of offers have been sent, but players will emerge during summer camps, and of course late risers during senior seasons. If, say Mizzou (or Oklahmoa or Georgia for that matter) has a recruit that gets tired of waiting to commit and decides to go elsewhere it could make the school take a look at somebody else lower on their board.
If schools don't do this and their primary target decides to go elsewhere they have lost valuable ground./time.

Agree, but it still seems suspect on timing. Every school is always shakimg the bushes for players but if they only needed one then why offer another. And if need more than one it seems very late in game to make the offer. I could be wrong and no one knows except the recruit who is not giving out too many smoke signals. The interest is so high because of his talent. Whoever gets him will be a better program that is a given. And pay sites feast on players like this claiming inside info to get new subs. Will be interesting to see where he goes.

UGA will be fine with it without 5-star DE William Nwareni.
However, comments like yours and MOJO Eraser should have the rest of the SEC down for a UGA commitment. The melts here will be epic. Either that or you guys will disappear from the board.
