TN Commit David Oku

[s1216]

That's correct. The current deadline for signing is April 1.

And if you are good enough that you are guaranteed anyone would make room for you, there is little incentive to sign right away.

Anyone heard any news out of Oku?

Still waiting on his pimp to get his first priority out of the way, Bryce Brown.

Not many kids have this luxury of waiting... Most schools (like UGA with Geathers) will run out of scholarships.

So is it pretty much the consensus that Oku is waiting to see where Brown goes before making his decision?

That's been what everyone has felt for weeks now. It's no secret that Butler is courting both prospects.

Who is Butler? Their pimp?

I know...I know....I haven't kept up with this story

Brian Butler, the pimp of HS recruits. It's the NCAA politically correct way of saying agent, without saying agent.

Farrell of Rivals predicted he thinks OKU will sign with UT

Gotta love the weekly predictions.

Auburn recruiting: David Oku still target for 2009, but Tigers also working for 2010 signing class - The Gold Mine - al.com

 

[Tampavolz]

wouldn't doubt it...i've heard that excuse enough already...:dry:

I had read somewhere that BB had concerns about our O line,,, so he may be going to Miami where he is supposedly committed. It does look like we need a running back in this years class. There is a possibility that CLK will sell them both on compteting against each other.

Oku looks a little skittish regarding competition for some reason. Does he really want to be the only race horse in the barn?

 

[govols2008]

Says alot about an athlete that is afraid of having to compete for the job if he is actually waiting on Brown's choice.

 

[Ericvol2096]

We will get Oku...I have felt it all along.

 

[gainesvol82]

If we land Oku then Jon Ward needs to come out of retirement for one game so I can hear him announce Oku's name.

 

[423VOL]

He committed when Jarvis Giles was committed (as has been said 100+ times), so competition isn't as big of a factor as people keep making it.

 

[rmsmith]

Brown is better than Giles. So i think Oku would have a harder time passing BB on the depth chart.

Very good point.

 

[NMVol]

Brown >>> Giles

That would be so sweet!!:rock:

 

[ptclaus98]

Why does everyone capitalize Oku?

:ermm:

Yea, I think he is trying to become the "World Wide Wes" of football. lol

 

[rockytopRandy]

We're the only school that's on both of their list,right? If that is correct we probably get Oku, if Brown doesn't sign.What else could he be waiting on?

Auburn was, but Bryce has dropped them.
