3 of the top 4 from 1 state's schools? No.4 times a single school has had 3 of top 5 though - USC 1977, Mich St 1967, Bama 1948, ND 1946has this happened before?
oops, i saw an article that mentioned oklahoma, and i must have got okung and trent williams transposed.it is interesting that the two Oklahoma schools were less than stellar this season (due to a myriad of reasons including graduation, injury, suspension, etc) but still should have several first round picks.
Oklahoma:
Bradford
McCoy
Trent Williams
Gresham
Oklahoma State:
Okung
Dez Bryant
Plus a few potential second day picks: Cox, Franks, etc.
There is some talk that the Redskins might prefer Williams to Okung which would give the Sooners three top picks in the draft.
Hey Bob if you were building a weak team-would you rather the best T or a little bit lesser T that can also play C or G?oops, i saw an article that mentioned oklahoma, and i must have got okung and trent williams transposed.
hard to answer without specifics...is it a LT or RT...generally i prefer greater talent, but position versatility is handy...sometimes you can get that from a reserve swing player.Hey Bob if you were building a weak team-would you rather the best T or a little bit lesser T that can also play C or G?oops, i saw an article that mentioned oklahoma, and i must have got okung and trent williams transposed.

And an 8-5 record to show for it![]()
I really wonder how much some of you actually know about college football.And Jason Campbell went later in the first round that year. That Auburn team also had Devin Aromasahdu and Ben Obomanu at WR along with at least 3 other players who are in the NFL right now. Yet despite going undefeated in the toughest conference in America they get no shot at the title. Talent plus on the field performance and they get no shot at the title. Gotta love college football.Mayock said that the last time 3 players from the same school went in the top 10 was Auburn in 05.Ronnie 2, Cadillac 5, and Carlos Rogers 9.
More than you will ever know, sorry.Yes, I'm more than aware of the injuries.:( I really wonder how much some of you actually know about college football.And an 8-5 record to show for it![]()
Yeah that comment was far off the mark.Try to change it positive-Stoops' recruiting is interesting. There's a ton of OK high school kids that go play ball at other colleges, even major colleges like OK State that don't even get a sniff from OU.I didn't expect "Oklahoma's University" to have a ton of Oklahoma kids but they don't have a whole lot more than walk-ons to fill in on special teams.He has a real high standard for talent and sticks to it no matter what, I really appreciate that. I live in the same town as Derrick Locke that is Kentucky's starting RB. He was 2nd team ALL-SEC and will probably be a 5th or 6th round NFL pick next year if his 4.3 speed doesn't jump him up the charts in the post college season workouts...anyhow, OU never even contacted him and he's 2nd team All-SEC now. He was one of the better HS RBs in Oklahoma for 3 years too. Not even a letter or a phone call.Sure OU would take a 2nd team RB now but I am referring to out of high school only. I didn't mean for an OU is better than SEC inference.BusterTBronco said:Stoops sure can recruit. Too bad he can't coach.![]()
No one is going to hit on everyone. And Locke probably would have only been a backup to Murray/Brown at OU anyway.Yeah that comment was far off the mark.Try to change it positive-Stoops' recruiting is interesting.

maybe so. I was trying to be positive. I don't have an issue with it at all. I find his recruiting very interesting.I used to think that most of the "best RB in state" from HS can attend their state's big college if they're a (fairly) top talent. Like suppose some HS RB is the 10th best RB in the country, that he'd be given an "automatic" shot at playing for his state's best college. Well I was wrong and find it interesting that that's not the case.No one is going to hit on everyone. And Locke probably would have only been a backup to Murray/Brown at OU anyway.
you are so right ... Mack Brown: "I'll answer that for Chris" ....Not sure why OU players are rated so high, but then again I'm not sure why OU is rated as high as they are to start most seasons. Hook'em!
