It won't, you need to win some more games for that to happen. No hate just telling it like it is. Your head coach is a good defensive mind but he has yet to show that he's a great coach as of yet. Time will tell though.

Should get 4-5 5 stars this cycle … David Stone . Williams Nwaneri Taylor Tatum . Not saying UGA can’t get Williams but we have led for a while .

Not hating on you either if you can’t see how depleted OU was last year we lost two 5 star qbs 2 5 star wrs all our best defenders went to draft . We have had 6 losing season ever …. That’s the entire history of OU. Only true OU fans really understand the rebuild that had to happen from foundation. I am not saying we winning a NC this year but we will be better a lot better.

Great get! Number 1 player out of California. It seems the TE position has become much more valuable in recent years.

I have a question for the board - why do HS guys reclassify? What is the benefit? I totally understand JAN EE's but why reclass a year and go against guys that have already been in a college level training program?

One less year of HS injury potential

One year faster to get to NFL where the real money is if you are that good. So in theory he’ll end up with one extra NFL years salary all things being equal.

I read he moved from TX (which requires more credits to graduate HS) to CA (requires less) knowing he wanted to reclass.

Also heard he’ll be on campus in Jan 24 so thats great to see him make all the extra time in spring

I know he ended up transferring in the end but Georgia had a guy reclassify (Marcus Washington 4 star legacy db) because basically if he didn’t he knew by the time he came in both starting CB spots would be entrenched. He ended up transferring out because he likely understood that even as a 4 star he faced an uphill climb for heavy playing time.

Oklahoma has been known to be an offensive machine for awhile. This will keep you there. Congrats on a huge pickup!

I don’t like guys moving up it’s hard. Even for the elite of elite to make up a years strength . He will be our starter in our first season in the sec. We have had bad luck last few years getting quality te’s and had two of them get injury bugs. Hate to make him instant starter with Stogner coming back.
