Zero commits so far, but not for much longer. Peytons brother, Eli, could be first on board. Michael Hawkins has a commitment date set in January and I believe he is QB target #1. 
 

So why didn't Cooper Bowen pan out as a college prospect

Might be a fun chapter to this story next year if Peyton portals in Dec 2023, and then his brother Eli flips to another school...  😋

I don't know man... History says he'll probably sign with y'all but commit elsewhere first (and 2nd.)

You're more on the right track than you know. I think OU's first commit in the class has decommited for the last 4 years.

2020 Drew Sanders
2021 Brock Vandagriff
2022 Luther Burden
2023 Ashton Cozart

I think Joshua Bates was first in ‘23. He stayed and signed.

Why would we when his brother kind of hates us and went to OU?

Gerry and Bobby were talking about it on their YouTube channel not too long ago when mentioning Peyton. They said Peyton was out but our early offer to Eli and the attention they're giving him could pay off. I don't know how real it is since I try not to pay too much attention to $9.95ers, but thought it was interesting now.

Bizarrely, at least out of the gate, I'm not seeing a lot of UT/OU target overlap from this list.

Yeah, the Saban/Dabo evaluation methods seem to be diametrically opposed to each other. Not sure exactly how it will pan out in the long term, but it is really interesting to see.

That would truly be the first big, public shot across the bow that I can pinpoint from the OU NIL crowd.  They're getting some of their efforts aligned, and players are mentioning it more during recruiting interviews, but I don't think there's been a high-profile player known to be looking for a payday that's gone to OU just yet.  Am I forgetting about anyone?

Wesco is overrated imo, but Durham is legit, he’s probably underrated. Just ran a 10.28 100m

I have a soft spot for Wesco after having watched him play in person the last couple of years. He’ll be a positive addition. Ranked this or that, I don’t care all that much.

Pretty sure our coaches really like Wesco, but the sister at OU put that pursuit to bed quickly.

He will be a good player. 247 just has him as the #1 player in the state and that’s a bit much for me. Still an obvious take.

And Durham is originally from Oklahoma, we didn’t really have an in with either player.

Damn that would be a big loss, he’s an Oklahoma kid.

You posted in the 24 thread that LSU is being extra agressive this cycle right, that will make things very hard for us with Durham’s teammate Colin Simmons.
