'16 CA LB Caleb Kelly (Oklahoma Verbal)

[NDohio]

Sooner boards are melting down. They have lost so many recruits today that they were completely confident in that they completely expect to lose out on Kelly.

Their expectations were for a top ten class and now they are looking at ~ 20.

If I am Stoops or Kelly I make the guy run laps just for not having the courtesy to inform the staffs of a decision when he did decide

 

[jason_h537]

Stoops is expecting one more, BK is waiting to hear from one more. Not jumping to a 100% conclusion, but the writing is on the wall and it really doesn't have to do with just one statement from the coaches. One is hoping, other is expecting. Boomer Sooner.

I think Kelly is going to OU but a coach saying he is expecting one means what you infer into it. Kelly and Stoops said the same thing basically but your own opinion makes you interpret them differently.

Kelly said waiting on a couple more, Stoops said expecting one more. That doesn't mean everything in the world, but it sounds accurate to what's going to happen. I also think it means OU might have already been informed, whereas ND hasn't yet. Which kind of falls in line with Caleb's plan as of 2 weeks ago about how he'd inform the staffs.

This is exactly correct. Koon is reading way too much into a few words.

Even if Kelly was leaning OU's way this morning (which I think is far from a certainty) he could be watching this implosion and looking at ND more favorably.

ND remains optimistic per Ivins. Talks have been good

Thought the same thing. He can see this ND class is special and top 10. It is peculiar that OU has been losing out on guys they thought they had. Maybe something is up behind the scenes down there?

You've become the guy that just comes here to tell people when they're wrong. You're the new RhodeIrish.

If you think the subtleties in the coaches comments about one more are meaningless, cool. I think they're selected accurately.

You're still the same old Koonja though. You post inane garbage that is 95% wrong but boy oh boy when you get that 5% right you sure do know how to drive it into the ground.

I take it you've never heard of assumptive closing?

Koon will disregard. Stoops is expecting.

You're getting your undies in a bundle about me saying the subtitles of the two coaches words regarding the same thing sound accurate. Get as bothered as you want, I don't think there's much to see here. Hack away.

 

[IrishLion]

Yeah, I think Stoops and BK were saying the exact same thing.

Stoops just chose to put on the confident bravado with "expect," while BK played it straight with "waiting to hear."

Also, I'm sure BK will always try to avoid the "we expect" line ever since the EV situation lol.

But they have to mean the same thing because we can't prove they don't mean the same thing even though they're different words.

Couldn't "waiting to hear" also mean that CK hasn't notified the staffs yet? Sounds like there's a legit chance still and work being done behind the scenes.

I agree. I think that situation is always in the back of the mind of the coaches. That was a colossal screw up.

Certainly could, which would be what he intended to do ~ 2 weeks ago.

This is one of the reasons I really only come here as we approach signing day. The amount of assumptions people make off of anything is insane. These are high school kids. I would love to get Kelly. I hope we do, but the world won't end if he goes to OU. He won't be the first talented player ND missed on and he won't be the last.

 

[Meacon Irish]

Instead of trying to sift through the back-and-forth arguing, could somebody tell me what time Caleb intends to announce?

Reps for you. Thanks.

 

[tussin]

We would jump to #9 if we add Kelly and Robertson.

Oh yea no question.
We're 9 right now via Rivals. I believe 13 ESPN.

These two additions would really make a solid class.

Is it spring ball yet?

Was wondering that myself.

Haven't had time to really take a look, but what is happening with OU's class?

 

[Irish#1]

Will the Irish land Caleb Kelly?

 

[PANDFAN]

what are you people talking about okl imploding???? that had a late deflection last night but they got a bunch of skilled players coming in

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

More info on this implosion, por favor.

Go read some of the forums. They feel like they lost out on 3-4 guys that were difference makers and they felt were going to OK.

Typical fan base doom and gloom, but they have quite a few fans that are freaking out.

ohh i thought you guys were talking about real info not from board posters...they lost a late night one last night but it had been trending that way anyways so really wasn't a shock...and i don't remember seeing anyone sign today that i thought was truly going to end up at OU....maybe they were thinking along the lines of some posters here thinking like Ben Davis was coming to ND.
