Football: Sooners land commitment from receiver

MIKE STRAIN’S BLOG: OU football finishes on top of ESPN rankings.
Oklahoma needs help at receiver, and the Sooners have landed a commmitment. World columnist Dave Sittler has written a blog about it. Here it is:

OU lands big-time receiver; not looking at QB
Sam Bradford can apparently recruit as well as play quarterback. And his decision to return to Oklahoma next season instead of turning pro is his best selling point for the Sooners.

Bradford, the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner, visited with Cameron Kenney when the junior college wide receiver made his official recruiting visit to Oklahoma two weeks ago. OU has several wide-receiver spots open with seniors Manny Johnson, Juaquin Iglesias and Quentin Chaney on their way out. So the 6-foot-2, 195-pound Kenney was high on the Sooners' wish list.

Kenney, who had 83 receptions for 1,193 yards in two seasons at Garden City (Kan.) Community College, had committed to Auburn. But he reopened the process when Tigers' coach Tommy Tuberville was fired.

South Carolina, OU and Georgia all entered the picture. Kenney a native of Dacula, Ga., was the Bulldogs' No. 1 target at wide receiver. After visiting Georgia this weekend, Kenney informed coach Mark Richt that he had decided to sign with the Sooners.

Kenney is a huge get for coach Bob Stoops. Kenney said at the time of his visit that he wanted to go to a team with an established quarterback. Georgia junior quarterback Matthew Stafford is leaving school early for the NFL Draft, while Bradford has announced that he will play for the Sooners in 2009.

In other OU recruiting news, a Sooners source confirmed that Stoops is not recruiting former Miami (Fla.) quarterback Robert Marve. Some Florida media outlets have reported that Stoops may have an interest in Marve.

Those reports claimed that Stoops had already contacted Marve about transferring to OU. But an excellent source said Stoops, "has not had any contact with (Marve), those reports are absolutely false. They (Sooners) like the quarterbacks they have."

Row if they can get Rueben Randle that would be awesome. I probably didn't spell his name right.

Tiger, when all that happens, watch out for the flying pigs. They may poop on your head.
