Stoops setting the rumors straight: [Bob] Stoops learned about the intensity of those rumors when he arrived back in his office and discovered the amount of telephone messages he had concerning OU's interest in Mustain. "Where is all this stuff coming from?" Stoops asked Friday. Well, it apparently started with a television station in Fort Smith, Ark., when KFSM-TV reported Wednesday that Mustain would visit OU on Thursday. Several newspapers picked up on that rumor and ran with it. Although he didn't say Mustain's name because of recruiting rules, it was obvious who Stoops was talking about when he said: "This is amazing. People are saying he was visiting (OU)? It's wrong, and I have no idea where any of that came from." (Tulsa World)Labels: Bob Stoops, Mitch Mustain, Oklahoma Sooners

Mustain departed Tulsa without making a decision to join the program, a source close to the situation said. His decision to attend TU this spring will have to come quickly.
