Sounds like he would be the perfect back in the west coast offense.

Have heard that grades and an large ego MAY be a problem with him. Texas has apparently backed off. Kid has tons of ability and is a tremendous athlete. We'll have to see how it all unfolds.

from everything I'm hearing about Jermie, he's very close to pulling the trigger to OU. That would give OU 3 of the top 5 recruits from the state of Texas in Good, Washigton, and Calhoun.

 

I just wanna know one thing. how does OU do it?

Actually since they also already have Justin Johnson that would be 4 of the top 5 recruits from Texas.

Sooners gain elite 2008 RB

 

Jermie Calhoun gave Oklahoma a verbal commitment this weekend and told KTBB radio, "I'm so happy to be a Sooner, and I'm glad this process is over where I can focus on my spring semester, and getting my goals accomplished at Van High School."

Several of the nation's top schools were also after Calhoun, including LSU, Alabama, Florida, and Nebraska.

If he thinks its over, then he has another thing coming, as coaches will try even harder to get him to change his commitment.

[CowboyBob]

OU is having a very good start to their recruiting efforts in 2008. They are doing some fantastic things there.

 

god i hate stoops.
