Cade to transfer to City College of San Francisco: Oklahoma safety Tony Cade has withdrawn from classes and intends to transfer to City College of San Francisco, according to coach Bob Stoops. "We had a good talk," Stoops said. "He just feels like he's going to get an opportunity to do something else there. We wish him the best." Cade, a sophomore from Lewisville, Texas, missed several practices last week while pondering his future. (NEWSOK.com)

Up on Depth Chart: The only real surprise on OU's updated depth chart, which was released Monday, was redshirt freshman Cory Bennett's position as a starter at defensive tackle. Whether he starts remains to be seen, of course, since Dusty Dvoracek has been cleared to play. Still, Bennett has surpassed sophomore Steven Coleman on the depth chart. (NEWSOK.com)

Keith returns: Junior offensive lineman Brandon Keith, who left preseason camp after two days of practice, has rejoined the team. Keith, a 6-foot-6, 320-pounder from McAlester by way of NEO, will be brought along slowly and might now be headed for a redshirt. But co-offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson was glad to have the talented player back in the fold. "Our desire is that hopefully it's going to be a positive deal, but we'll see," said Wilson, who coaches the offensive line. "I'm glad he's back." (NEWSOK.com)
