The University of Oklahoma picked up commitments from two of the top players in the area and the state. Arlington Sam Houston wide receiver Mark Clayton and Coppell quarterback Hunter Wall, members of The News' Top 100 state recruiting list, gave oral commitments to the Sooners.
Oral commitments are non-binding.
The first day a recruit can sign a national letter of intent is Feb. 2. I have family up there, and also, it's not too far away from home. Oklahoma's wide-open offensive style was a deciding factor for both players. The Sooners put together a big passing game behind the arm of quarterback Josh Heupel who threw for more than 3,000 yards. It is definitely a wide receiver's paradise.
