That's hurtful.
Uh, no, it isn't. I would know since i live here. It was pretty evenly split before until Nelson went to UF. Isaiah Anderson and Markelle Martin are the only other two that play in the state of Oklahoma. Jurell Thompson went to TCU (in jail for cocaine currently), Eric Ward is playing at TTU, Beaver is now at Midwestern. Barrett will probably end up at Texas if he gets offered (that's the word here at least).
Barrett. Oh , and boobs are nice but these asses are incredible.
Important question, does Barrett want his own brand of sausage eventually?
I really like the play at :58 in that video. That $#@! would eat a lot of the defenses we face alive. Why we do not run plays through the center of these defenses I do not know
Damn can he throw on the run. He's gonna be a stud, Mack please take him over Swoopes.
The Barret film is ridiculous, don't get me wrong. But does the guy ever throw from the pocket with his feet set? Even on quick throws he's moving and throwing unbalanced. Very Case McCoy-like.
Again, I'd take him in a heartbeat. Just hope he has the ability to be a pocket passer.
It looks like to me he never sets his feet due to $#@!ty pass blocking. In other words, hes perfect for Texas
It says her name in this very thread.
i'll be pissed if he goes anywhere but here, he sounds like a quality kid

In watching some of Swoopes junior highlights, don't know that it is such a clear choice. Watched the sophomore highlights and saw some good things but his senior highlights are way improved and while the competition is 2A, this kid power cleans 285 and runs a 4.51 at 6'4" 220, as a high school junior. He has Vince like skills, but I agree may be playing down to the competition.
I can't even begin to explain the Loan Oak loss. I almost hope he was knocked out of the game.
Watching him run on his latest highlight reel makes me think he can pretty much be an all star caliber position at about a half a dozen positions including, WR, TE, FS, SS, DE, and OLB. He plays safety in several of the highlights and just skies for the INT.
He also seems to have that explosive acceleration from stop and like VY, takes hits at an angle lets them glance off him, but like VY will occasionally lower the shoulder pads and just run you over. Wish there was a way we could take both. Barrett is more college ready now, but Swoopes could be VY special by his redshirt sophomore year.
Haha. That episode was funny as hell. Yeah, Shavodrick and his mother decided it was best if he stayed somewhat closer to home, which is why he originally went to Tulsa. But, he saw the writing on the wall being behind Kinne, so now he's playing at MSU. I couldn't find any of his stats for this season, so i'm not sure how he did. Being a Rider grad, you know i'm pulling for Barrett to go to UT. I've asked around, and his friends say that if he gets a UT offer that's where he's going.
So Swoopes and his backup did get knocked out of the Lone Oak game:

Swoops looks great in that YouTube video against 2A competition, he's a foot taller than anyone, and it's against $#@!ty defenses. NO Thanks!
Would be nice if we could offer Barrett strictly as a QB, but Swoopes as an athlete with first position shot at QB. I think both are great QB's, but I think Swoopes has higher upside, IF he has the drive and mind for the game. 6'4, 220 with 4.51 speed and already power cleaning 285 pounds and still has a year of high school left to get stronger, faster, and hopefully more instinctive and smarter in the game is very intriguing.
Still though, Barrett may be the safer choice, but I don't want to have a VY versus Reggie McNeal situation and end up with McNeal. Hopefully whichever one the coaches goes after ends up being closer to VY.
Guys, put down the pipes. They are not signing both and one of them isn't going to come on as an athlete. They are going to be two of the highest recruited players in the country and they aren't signing at the same school.
Hey it's early. We can drag on the pipe for a few more months.
“I’m going to be looking for a ‘father-like’ coach that reminds me of my high school coaches,” Barrett said. “I also want to go to a college town - where the whole city is behind the school and shows support - that’s the type of environment I want to be in. I also want to go to a good school because there is life after football and I want to be prepared for it.”
Hmmm...
Wow, don't know how I missed this one either. Good looking prospect. Looks alot like "Bird" (Barrett), the QB in the old Wildcats movie. I say take them both, because never know who will shine in game situations at the D1 level. Try them both out at QB and put the one that doesn't work out in the best spot on the team to help us win.
Still want Barrett over Swoopes at this point
I want Tyrone Swoopes. Of course I have seen no video or Barrett, and have no basis for the evaluation. Just like the idea of having a 6'5 running QB back there again. : )
Please offer Barrett. He faces much better competition, and is not such a raw talent. Look how Shead worked out. Maybe offer Swoopes, if he doesn't work out @ QB, let him play linebacker. Har, har.
Don't see how you can go wrong with Barrett. Reminds me a bit of Leftwich (no racist).
Wow, Barrett looks good, especially considering the competition.
