(6/10) Cohen sticks with OU, and Former Sooners
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Cohen committed to Sooners: In May, [Punter, Michael] Cohen committed to walk on at OU in the fall, possibly providing an answer to a position that became a pressing question for OU after spring practice. Despite Cohen's verbal commitment to Oklahoma, his arrival on campus was not a certainty until Wednesday. Several schools, including Louisville, had continued to recruit him. After much discussion with family and former coaches, he decided Wednesday that OU was still the place to play. A long talk with OU coach Bob Stoops didn't hurt, either. "I talked to Coach Stoops, and he told me they're depending on me, and they need me up there," Cohen said. "He made me feel like he believed in me. I had given my word (to OU) back in May, and I don't like going back on my word." (NewsOK.com)
Former Sooner Harris mentors Dvoracek: Dvoracek has an ally and adviser in fellow defensive tackle and Oklahoma Sooners alumnus Tommie Harris, a third-year pro who is helping Dvoracek on and off the field. Dvoracek is living with Harris until his own home is ready and soaking up advice about everything from the defensive schemes to what to pack for training camp in late July. "He can show me so many things and make this transition a lot easier," said Dvoracek, a third-round draft pick. "It's hard making that adjustment from college to the NFL, just like it's hard making it from high school to college. He's been through it already, so he can help me out and tell me what to do. Since we're so close already, it makes it easier for us to talk." (More at Northwest Herald)
