I can see a world where Venables goes and throws a bitch fit in Nagy's office about not getting him elite talent and Nagy deciding to dive back into this recruitment. 

I think at this point I'm cheering for OU to spend a fuck ton of money to get the tweener. 

I would love it if this happened. He would be walking into Red River with a tweener and a homeschooler on the edge.

Sounds like our late push is making OU expend valuable cap room to secure a guy that probably wouldn't make the 2 deep for us for a couple of years.  I'm fine with that

Looks like OU went in with something crazy. Guys on Sooners Illustrated who seem to know some things believe that Nagy decided that he's a "must-have" and couldn't concede him to Texas. 

I know I would have liked to have gotten him for multiple reasons, same as many others here, but this is one situation where it is both a certainty that OU is spending money they don't really have, so that's going to impact their roster and recruiting elsewhere, and they're also dramatically overpaying for what the player is really worth. 

I'd say good luck to the guy, but if he's going to OU, fuck him. And fuck OU too.

Another thing I think this does is make Texas more willing to flip Henderson later. I'm sure they'll keep looking for a good answer that doesn't involve doing something crazy for Henderson, but I do think it opens up some room to get stupid if they wanted to with the flip.

Also, from the sound of some of the reports coming out of practice, we may already have this guy on the roster in Brad Spence.

He is going to be asked to do too much for the OU defense, and that is to play the role of savior. This means he won't get the time to develop, which means Venables will break him in his first fall camp. Poor guy.

To be fair, sounds like Venables breaks everyone in fall camp based on the injury reports

I mean, we don't know what the scheme is going to be when he gets to Norman, nor who will be running it.

And then we circle back to him a year from now after he develops some and realizes he’s in Norman.

What the fuck is wrong with Venables legs/pants there? Dude looks like he's wearing knee pads and thigh pads. Dipshit having problems running into corners and walls?

Someone hasn’t spent hours on their knees sucking dick and it shows.

Texas is gonna beat ou like a piñata for the for the foreseeable future.  Where Kreul ends up won’t have bearing on that immutable truth.  Buuuut, if he decides ou, the laws of the Universe dictate that he’ll be a pesky lil shit and have good games against Texas for the next few years.  Three sacks, a fumble recovery and fourteen “Horns down” in a 38-17 loss type shit.

It's a creepy looking picture for sure.

And to answer your question, I'm gonna go with "yes".

Comically relevant to the Kreul discussion with OU. 

They've been recruiting WR Davion Groce for this entire cycle. They've been up against Baylor and, to a lesser extent, UF the whole time. Groce's camp recently indicated in the last month that they were likely picking OU over Baylor, despite BU putting a good offer together. The player announces tonight and OU has considered him in the bag for a while.

Update today is that Florida has come in off of the top ropes with a big time offer. Groce's camp has allegedly given OU this afternoon to match or beat. 

Remember that part about OU coming in with something crazy for Kreul? Well, that was done when they thought they had Groce locked up at a different number. I'm guessing they're going to have to pass on one or the other. If they pony up for both, I assume that is going to lead to some serious retention issues with the portal if they're not prepared to pony up around the table for experience already on the roster at Edge and WR. 

Watching OU get put in Sophie's choice after Sophie's choice is only going to get more entertaining.

Interesting that despite that pretty loft ranking (47th nationally in the composite and 83rd in the Top 247), neither UT nor LSU even offered and I don't remember seeing him mentioned anywhere in our recruiting stuff. I also don't recall hearing about A&M recruiting him at all either even though his list says they "offered." It's probably not a good sign for OU if they're having to overpay for this guy. Hopefully, it's another Taylor Tatum/Jackson Arnold/Zion Kearney (soon to include Bowe Bentley?) type of situation. I'm always happy to see OU pay out the nose for players like that with their adorable little budget
