OU Signing Day

OU Signing Day
  • OU puts out call for linebackers Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops had just finished signing his 2008 recruiting class when he started making a pitch for 2009.

    “Those young guys listening out there, we still need some linebackers,” he said.

    Even after inking a 21-player class that included the three top players in Texas, there were holes that needed to be filled. OU hopes most of those problems were addressed Wednesday during national signing day.

  • Another great class for OU The Oklahoma Sooners used a late commitment flurry to secure a top five finish in the final Rivals.com national recruiting rankings.

    The Sooners’ No. 5 final ranking was Stoops’ sixth top 10 finish since 2002 and his best since finishing third in 2005.

    It was also the third time Stoops has collected a top five class in that time span.

    But the biggest impact of this recruiting class can be measured in how successful the Sooners were against their stiffest competition – the University of Texas.

  • OKLAHOMA RECRUITING OU signs 21 players With a record five Big 12 Championships, a national title, a bowl appearance in each of his nine seasons and six stops at BCS games during Bob Stoops' tenure, it's more than coincidental that Oklahoma also produces well on signing day.
