There weren’t many disappointments on this signing day for the Sooners. In fact, by the end of the day, Antonio Clay’s defection to Clemson was quickly forgotten when the Sooners landed virtually every player left on their board and even one, Aaron Cummings, who was on the outside looking in.
Opening Statement
"Very pleased to announce our 2005 signees. These players are our future and committed to come to Oklahoma. Really excited about this group of guys, it’s a good number of guys with great character.
"Academically, we feel like this is one of our strongest classes. Really sharp group of young men. We signed guys from 13 different states, 16 different players are in the top position in their states, so that speaks to how this group stacks up nationally. And it doesn’t make it any easier to recruit them because we are working against the top teams in the nation to get them.
On the safety class:
"They are a great group of guys. You look at all those secondary guys and they all have size, speed and ability. They are also a very athletic group. The fact that we play three safeties quite often, all these guys are going to get the chance to compete right away."
On the linebacker class:
"Really an exceptional group. All have the size and speed that you look for. As you come to be around them you’ll see that they really are a group of characters, with great personalities, and all have high grade points as well. They all have a lot of energy and all are good leaders."
