From Scout.com: The very, very, very quiet monster class was brought in by … Oklahoma. While Texas got some splashy top-ranked prospects like DE Jackson Jeffcoat and LB Jordan Hicks, Oklahoma might have come up with a stronger overall class. The rumors of Bob Stoops leaving for Notre Dame were untrue and the controversy allowed the coaching staff to show why they’re more committed to Oklahoma than ever. The Sooners loaded up with offensive firepower highlighted by QB Blake Bell and receiver Justin McCay from out of Kansas and WR Kenny Stills from California. But the big move was being able to steal Corey Nelson, a speedy safety/linebacker hybrid out from Texas A&M. Nelson had originally committed to the Aggies, but changed his mind on Signing Day in one of the biggest de-commitments of the recruiting season. OU didn’t get Florida’s #1 ranked recruiting class, but it isn’t far off.

It’s not 77-0, but it’s a blow to the Aggies and a major win for the Sooners. That is, assuming you buy into the hype of national recruiting day.  Fact is that we will not know just how good these recruiting classes are for a couple years at the earliest.  It all gives me tired-head, but many, many college football fans just love it.  So here ya go:  Today, “Top 150″ recruit Dallas Skyline LB Corey Nelson switched his commitment to OU after initially committing to Texas A&M.   He’s got size and speed, but will be placed into a deep, deep LB depth chart for the Sooners.  Stay tuned, perhaps until 2012, until we can see just how big this change of heart really was.  Anyway, this bumps up the 2010 Sooner class squarely into a Top 10 class, or so the experts say.
