NORMAN — Sooner fans might want to steer clear of Alabama for a while.
Three of the nation's top football recruits, all from Alabama, are scheduled to visit Norman this weekend, according to SoonerScoop.com.
That includes five-star receiver Julio Jones (Foley, Ala.), five-star athlete Burton Scott (Prichard, Ala.) and four-star defensive back Robert Lester (Foley, Ala.), the latter two having already verbally committed to the Crimson Tide.
Jones is considered to be the top wide receiver prospect in the country.
Scott, the No. 28-ranked player in the nation according to Rivals.com, could play either slot receiver or cornerback in college.
Lester, high school teammates with Jones, will probably play safety.
OU already has the No. 7-ranked recruiting class in the nation according to Rivals after nabbing three top-100 payers in the last three weeks.
Overall, the Sooners have commitments from seven top-100 recruits.
