'11 TX CB Bennett Okotcha (Transfer from OU)

[GreatGolson]

any video highlights?

 

[TerryTate]

He's got some great hips in the Oklahoma camp video on the rivals website. He and Josh Turner were featured.

I don't see anything on youtube

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

thank God...eilar hardy and jalen brown have some company

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

That was just a rumor...Oklahoma never offered him.

Im not sure who to believe...ISD during Power Hour said:

Now we have 3 Texas kids, including Okotcha who had an Oklahoma offer and not to mention Nebraska wanted really bad.

Thoughts?

 

[TerryTate]

There has been a rumor that OU offered in the last few days, but there wasn't any confirmation

ISD's mods said it was just a rumor a few hours ago. But really, who knows?

 

[Ben E.]

welcome Bennett!!!

Not much for video on Okotcha but that Rivals video from the Oklahoma camp looks like a very agile kid quick feet, nice fluid hips. The scouting reports say he is a really physical corner and is a wrap up tackler. Other bits I have picked up is that on a powerful Texas program he is the guy other teams try to throw away from...that says something. I think you can throw the stars where they belong with this kid...the Wisconsin guys knew what they were doing when they offered early and our staff knows what they have found later.

Was Alford the lead recruiter on this him?

Kerry Cooks, the same man that snatched up McDaniel and Brown.

Making in roads, gentlemen. Texas is fertile.

This sounds pretty damn dirty. I love it.

 

[TerryTate]

Kinda wanted it to come out that way. Big titties, big families, big state. Fertile.

 

[bert2834]

Welcome Bennett!!!

 

[irish4ever]

So Bennett is 6' and runs a 4.47.

He plays for one the best high schools in the country. He plays the stiffest competition.

Yet he has a 3*.

Well you know what, I'd take this kid if he were a 0*.

He and Cam are both getting screwed by the recruiting sites.And they are both gonna make those sites look stupid.

Watch out guys, Kelly's doin work!

They may have worked in ND's favor! More stars, the bigger the hype, the more big schools are apt to offer!!! Welcome aboard Bennett!

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

Not sure if this has been mentioned here yet, but Kerry Cooks was the lead recruiter, Okotcha had been committed to Wisconsin, and Cooks spent the last 4 years at Wisconsin. HA.

 

[nd1]

welcome aboard

Love it when you talk dirty!

Btw....welcome to ND, Bennett!

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

Glad to hear about this kid. Welcome aboard!

 

[ryno 24]

congratulations Bennet another rkg

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

Seems like a good kid....he was interviewed ast night on Power Hour.

 

[Irish To The Core]

Right...Kerry Cooks has been the guy recruiting Texas (I should have remembered) He is making nice progress into that very attractive market. Okotcha looks like a guy who a real coach earns his pay scouting (this is why they don't just use Rivals to guide them boys) He should be a good player for us under the tutelage of Chuck Martin and Bob Diaco.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Cooks is a native Texan I believe. I guess he knows what to tell these fellas to get them to play ball for the Irish.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Welcome to ND Bennett!

 

[jason_h537]

Welcome to ND

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

LA you are right, did so more research and the consensus is:

Okotcha also had offers from Baylor, Minnesota and Wake Forest along with serious interest from Oklahoma.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

BTW I forgot to ask if the people who bash recruits for changing commitments are going to bash Bennett?!

Nope. He's a good one. See NDinLA's thread for that topic as well.

Thanx Terry just saw the thread he started....I hope everyone else read that thread!

Wow...

Watching the videos I realized that Cam and Bennett are amazing people. They seem to be having so much fun playing and Cam seems especially charismatic.

These two kids are gonna be special!
