OU HAS PIECES FOR RUN
From FS Southwest: "Not only do the Sooners boast a ton of experience, but they also figure to have a very impressive two-deep roster, with blue-chip talent running deep at nearly every position. It starts with the momentum built from a strong 2010 finish. The Sooners rolled down the stretch, winning five straight..." Sooners Have All Pieces to Make Run at No. 1 - FS Southwest
David Ubben of ESPN: "Of course, we're still months away from preseason polls, and spring practice hasn't even begun, so there are plenty of variables between now and then, but a game that already looked enormous could become the biggest nonconference game of the season if the polls shake out just right. Oklahoma..." No. 1 Oklahoma vs. No. 2 Florida State? - ESPN

Jake Trotter of the Oklahoman: "An OU network inside Oklahoma would have its payoff. But Oklahoma has limited TV sets. And the Sooners have the state's eyeballs on them already. Which is why maximizing the channel's full potential hinges on whether OU can somehow get the channel up and running on cable..." OU's Outlook Sunny Thanks to TV Progress - The Oklahoman
Top draft choice, top rookie. St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford won The Associated Press 2010 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award Friday. The first overall selection in last year's draft, Bradford guided the Rams from the embarrassment of a 1-15 record to a 7-9 mark. In the weak NFC West, that was good... Bradford Named 2010 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year

ANALYSIS OF SIGNING CLASS
John Hoover of the Tulsa World: "While the bulk of this class will be aimed at building for the future - the Sooners this fall need to replace just three starters on offense and three on defense - there are a handful of players who could contribute right away. OU's needs are few - running back, safety, defensive end, defensive..." OU's Class All About Quality, Not Quantity - Tulsa World

OKLAHOMA'S 2006 CLASS
From Yahoo Sports: "In terms of exporting high-end talent to the next level, this is arguably the most productive class ever assembled: Three Sooners who arrived in Norman in 2006 (Sam Bradford, Gerald McCoy and Trent Williams) went in the first four picks of the same NFL draft four years later, and impossible..."
