WR commit Fuller decommits?
Oklahoma wide receiver recruit Jeff Fuller out of McKinney, Texas, took an official visit to Texas A&M last weekend and reportedly has switched his commitment to the Aggies, according to the SoonerScoop.com.

Fuller, the No. 92-ranked player in the nation according to Rivals.com, even made a post on an A&M message board to announce his new commitment.

"I want you Aggies to be the first to know, I just got off the phone with Bob Stoops and informed him that I will not be attending OU,” Fuller posted. "I also informed coach (Mike) Sherman that I will be attending Texas A&M in the spring. See you in January, Aggies.”

The personal information used by the username of the poster matched that of Fuller's recruitment, according to Rivals.

Fuller was OU's top-ranked wide receiver recruit. Now, the Sooners are down to just one receiver commitment, Dejuan Miller out of Metuchen, N.J.

•Bradford, Lofton named Big 12 players of the year: CollegeFootballNews.com selected Sooner quarterback Sam Bradford its Big 12 Player of the Year and linebacker Curtis Lofton its Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.

•Win a Stoops autographed book: Rudy's Bar-B-Q in Norman will hold drawings for Bob Stoops autographed copies of the book "University of Oklahoma Football: An Interactive Guide to the World of Sports.”

Hmm...earlier in the season, I remember the sports genius' saying that OU wouldnt beat Mizzou or win the Big 12 title because they lost out on Jeremy Maclin. I say, If the kid wants to play for the 3rd best team in Texas and play in the Wal-Mart Bowl every December 28th, then let him go! We dont need him!

Ouch... loosing Fuller may leave a mark. Though I found Owens comments about his decision process troubling, he just became a major target for this staff.

These recruits are funny. He wants to be an A&M Aggie more than he wants to win and play for championships. He should go. Curtis Lofton grew up an OSU fan. You think he regrets his decision to play at OU? He's got two Big XII rings, All America status and will play in his second BCS bowl in his two years. None of which would he have in Stillwater. It comes down to what a kid wants out of his college career. Some want to walk in and be crowned a starter without competition, some want to compete with the best of the best. If a recruit doesn't have that desire, let 'em go to the A&M's and OSU's of the world. Just my opinion.

My faith in God has given me such hope and peace over my lifetime, even though I have faced many hardships I have never been alone thanks to my personal relationship to Jesus.

This is great news! Jameel Owens said he was considering schools where he would get playing time early. With Fullasheet out of the picture, he should step into a starting role after Kelly, Iglasias, and Johnson leave.

Thomas, if he is playing for A&M, I don't think he will be catching a lot of passes in Norman. That would be a long pass indeed. <ha..ha..aha..ha..guffaw> But seriously folks...why would any receiver pick OU over A&M? OU has the highest rates quarterback, outstanding offensive line, bright future...oh yes, I forgot, the whole aggie thingy.

Finally a win (of sorts) over OU. This kid always wanted to attend A&M, but didn't figure the former coach was looking for wr's. His dad is a former Aggie defensive back & NFL pro-bowler. Here's to hoping he still catches a lot of TD passes in Norman.

Whoop!

K, the best comment on this little article.

The crime happened and punishment should be administered! I have no problem with that!

I think Bill Clinton said he smoked marijuana as a kid .... but to say President Clinton smoked marijuana implies he did it as the President.
David, Richardson - Dec 11, 2007 at 4:23 pm
There is a HUGE problem with that!!! But to say an OSU player raped a 12 year old implies that as an OSU player he committed that crime!
David, Richardson - Dec 11, 2007 at 4:20 pm
Oh David~you said it perfectly. A boy raped a 12 year old girl and years later became an OSU football player. You don't see a problem with that??
Traci, Yukon - Dec 11, 2007 at 4:08 pm
I don't think an OSU player raped a 12 year old. Rather, a high school boy raped a 12 year old girl and several years later that same person would become an OSU football player. There is a difference. It is not just semantics.
David, Richardson - Dec 11, 2007 at 4:04 pm
Nice Shannon...at least we don't have players raping 12 year old kids.
Traci, Yukon - Dec 11, 2007 at 3:57 pm
Did Stoops forget to tell him about the great deals on new cars from Big Red Sports and Imports for ou football players? What about the ou football player jobs that don't even require you to show up to get paid? What about the free gas? Does he not see all the benefits of playing for the sooners?

Good luck Jeff. Nothing says I'm a winner like west texas and the aggies.

A&M? Leave for Texas or LSU, but A&M? To play for a guy who got fired from his last head coaching job when he had the best QB in the NFL? Does this make any sense. You think A&M would have learned from Fran's misdeeds but i guess not becuase the only way this guy leaves for A&M is if he is getting paid.
Involved, Yukon - Dec 11, 2007 at 2:13 pm
I notice he's driving a new car...

What sort of knucklehead wouldn't want Sam Bradford throwing to him?

Adios, Jeff.
CECIL, Encinitas - Dec 11, 2007 at 12:32 pm
Well, like Switzer used to say, "We will win with you or without you." Good luck, Jeff.
