Adult CFB fans, remember: youโre grown ups, recruits are young men; theyโre not supposed to โthink like you.โ How you behave when you โmiss outโ on a recruit says far more about you and your fan base than it does when you โlandโ one.
CONGRATS to all the 23 signees & families! ๐ช๐ฝ
@OU_Football
fans, I wish I could communicate just how important yโall are in helping us recruit & sign the BEST recruits in the country! Displaying your passion for OU on social through following, likes, retweets, and comments is a GAME-CHANGER! Weโre in this together!

I love โrecruitingโ cuz I love people & relationships. But anyone who has lived & been a part of the โrecruiting processโ knows how hard, emotional, & strenuous it can be on all involved. HUGE day for the Sooners, but even bigger day for a young man & his family.
Give grace! โค๏ธ
So PROUD of you for following your heart

Every time Coach Swinney lives out his worldview he gets blasted for it. Yโall are surprised that a dude who has helped shape the modern era of college football where coaches actually love, serve & care their players gives you a take like that?! Heโs a Christian AND a competitor!
My guy for life. Blessed by your humble confidence and LOVED watching you HAVING FUN BALLIN every game day!
Keep your Spirit. Keep loving life. Keep being you.
Thank you DG.

Seeing my guys have success is the GREATEST part of my job!
Everyday they go to class, tutors, weights, treatment, meetings, practice, and recovery.

How can a coach not be joy-filled?!
How can you not love Coach Chavis? Such a cool video of him showing love to Jonah Laulu after his 3rd down sack - his first sack in a Sooner uniform.
This staff loves their players!

I was reminded at church this morning that the builders labor in vain if the Lord is not with them!
What we accomplished at Clemson has so much more to do with our WHY (serving our players hearts) than the WHAT (coaching/playing/cheering). We bring this WHY to Oklahoma!

Great job today Sooner Nation; YOU showed up and our young MEN showed out!
Boomer freaking Sooner baby!!!!
OU Nation,
when a DE/OLB Iโm recruiting commits to OU, itโs not becuz of me. Itโs becuz they believe OU football is the best place for them to get a degree, enjoy college, win a championship, & be developed as a future NFLer & man.
Our staff, players & yโall get the credit!
Being an Oklahoma Sooner is an HONOR & a CALLING! I canโt believe itโs been a little over a year since the Chavis fam arrived in Norman. The future is BRIGHT for

Itโs easy to jump to conclusions on this app. Itโs easy to be suspicious, believe the worst, and โfill in the blanksโ with pessimistic hypotheticals.
Whatโs hard (and right and freeing) is to be patient and kind. To be long-suffering. To hope all things and believe all things.โฆ

THIS is what CHAMPIONSHIP STRAIN looks like!
Everybody thinks theyโre โgoing hardโ until they check their highlight tape and donโt see themselves huntin like this!
While I understand the sociology behind the negative responses from college football fans and coaches when they donโt land a recruit, I donโt agree with it, AT ALL!
Negative pressure, remarks, & comments are a TURN OFF; they are counterproductive.
Honey > vinegar !!!
