Anyone ever see Lincoln put up two sets of googly eyes in the same tweet? I haven’t until a few minutes ago........
Googly eyes.....
- Thread starter pssooner
- Start date
Two days later............... *crickets*
I sure as hell hope he isn't putting up those eyes because some jack-leg put OU in his top 8. That's some Dumb and Dumber sh*t.
Hopefully, he can help us get some stops.
As of today, we have 8 commitments, the same number we had 16 days ago and before all of those googly eyes.
On the other hand, there have been several announcements by young attention whores where we've been named somewhere in their top 5 to to 15.
So exciting

Here is some possible insight from TFB
Riley Eyes | Accounting & Notes

Hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend!
We now have five sets of eyes that are unaccounted for. So, I thought this would be a good time to account for them and discuss what we can.
***First set of eyes were on March 28th. Who these eyes depend on who you ask. There are some people that believe these eyes are for the same player as the eyes posted on April 13th (the second set of unaccounted eyes).
We do not believe that to be the case. We believe these eyes were for another player.
First of all, Riley has yet to post two sets of eyes for the same player. Recall last year when he posted the eyes for Marcus Stripling very early in the process. Then, it seemed for a while Stripling was headed elsewhere. Once Stripling did finally commit to OU, Riley did not tweet a second set of eyes.
Secondly, we received that information from a source close to the player. We will have to leave the details of this discussion for closer to signing day. But the bottom line is, we aren’t convinced that these first eyes are the same as the second set of unaccounted eyes.
***Second set of unaccounted eyes were as mentioned above tweeted on April 13th. We believe this was for a defensive player who will announce a decision this summer.
***Third set of unaccounted eyes were on May 23rd. This was for a 2020 offensive player who will also announce this summer. Most of you guessed who this was.
***Fourth set of unaccounted eyes were also on May 23rd. This was also for an offensive player who we believe will announce sometime in the middle of the summer. This is not a regional player.
***The fifth set of unaccounted eyes were posted by Riley on May 25th. This one was a bit tricky. We are confident it is a 2020 offensive player that is a big-time guy. While we expected him, the timing of the eyes was a bit of a surprise as the recruit has some visits he is expected to take, thus the public announcement will still be a bit down the road.

First of all, thanks for sharing this. Secondly, and this is not in any way pointed towards you, if the above is true, then it tells me that the "eyes" really don't mean squat anymore.
But I'd already suspected as much.
His initial use of the eyes provided excitement to fans and recruits. His current pattern does not have the intended impact. He would be better served to go back to the original timing of the eyes meaning an announcement was imminent.
coach riley if you visit this site then i'd like to ask you adopt the recommendation posted by td71.
and a RB, Seth McGowan hes pretty good ,but was hoping Zach Evans or Kendall Milton. Thats 2 good RB's, but dont see a third committing.
I guess le Tigre Francais got the DB they supposedly didn’t want or need in Mr. Burns. Just in time to be lauded for his 4th star. Must be the cayenne.
Here's what Riley's running backs situation is right now:
***************************************************************
Sermon, junior
Brooks, redshirt sophomore
Pledger, redshirt freshman
Stevenson, JUCO
Major, true freshman
McClellan, 2020 arrival
McGowan, 2020 arrival
Might be safe to say OU is in good shape at the RB position with these seven guys.
And Jeremiah Hall is a decent running FB/HB.

I believe Stevenson is a JUCO guy. So he will be a junior.
Here is the answer for one set of eyes.

Agree.
Barring injuries, it's very possible that at least one will enter the draft.
That said, I see enormous potential in Pledger and I believe he will contribute meaningful playing time this year, more than he did in 2018.
With Major and Stevenson coming in, I think one of them will see playing time as well.
If OU can hold the commitments to McClellan and McGowan for the 2020 class, OU won't miss a beat in the running game beyond this year.
Good article on the "Googly Eyes".
