GNEXTINC.com: Oklahoma Sooners Football

Neb. recruit making unofficial visit to Norman: Millard North coach Fred Petito by now is used to the way visiting college football coaches look at [LB] Sean Fisher. They want to know if he's really 6-foot-5. They could be more obvious only if they pulled out a measuring tape. "They all want to take a good look at him," Petito said. "I knew with Oklahoma for sure they had to come up to see if he was that big. That's all they needed to do."Brent Venables, the Sooners' defensive coordinator and associate head coach, recently joined the parade through Millard North to see Fisher. Satisfied that the Mustangs' safety indeed was 6-5 and a solid 210 pounds, OU made a scholarship offer to Fisher before leaving. "I was talking with Venables and he point-blank said, 'We need to come out. Kids today tack an inch or two on to look good on paper. We need to come up and verify.' Obviously, I don't have a problem with it. I am 6-5, so it doesn't bother me." Fisher is making a swing through Norman and Fayetteville next weekend to unofficially visit OU and Arkansas. To get a better feel for the staffs at Nebraska and Iowa State, he might spend a day at those schools' camps later in June. (In part and more at Omaha World Herald)
