Just received a text from a friend that Dart just committed to Ou. I cant seem to find it anywhere so not sure its true.
Jaxson Dart
- Thread starter coeSooner81
- Start date
Darts? I don't see anything posted in theast 6 hours..
Has to be fake news, what will be interesting is to see if Caleb Williams attends classes tomorrow, USC started classes last week.
Thatās not a commitment. Look at the question mark
Yall really going on about the twitter post from this afternoon that he says #notcomitted?
Hopefully they tell him weāve signed Dart and his selfish fiasco is over. If he were to stay at OU heād be fodder for every mishap and would never live up to the expectations he has inadvertently created for himself. The fans would expect 2 NCās in a row with the drama this has created.
frou...As a Seriously Senior Sooner, I respectfully request that you Please elaborate when you post 'Williams'..I don't know if it's Williams #1...#2...#3, as I can't tell the players without a program!
I'm just kidding you...I scrolled back up, then assumed it was C. Williams, not M. Williams, or G. Williams. If so, that makes the potential meeting a lot more interesting...One of those things that make you go Hmmmmm...

Imo he would love to come to OU but he wants to be the best qb on campus. He may be scared?
Heās probably going to give OU an opportunity to beat his offer from USC. No thanks let him go there and rebuild with Riley. He only has 2 years left before he goes pro. I think he knows OU makes more sense but greed is getting the best of that family so heās trying to have his cake and eat it too. Hope we are just moving on at this point and not setting any precedents
Williams dedication to OU is obviously not his top priority. He has been dumb and burned some bridges with some players and many fans. I've personally moved on from him
I have moved on as well. At this point I hope CW doesn't stay. OU has put together a Tremendous Coaching Staff, has picked up some nice portal players recently, have a Top 10 recruiting class coming in and are still in the mix for the USC Duo. Let's remember that UGA just won a National Championship with a Walk-on QB.
It seems CW has Oklahoma, USC and Dart on the hook.
I'd be very open with young Mr. Williams that he's no longer the starting QB and that he'll have to earn it back if he returns. Commitment goes both ways.

I wouldnāt be surprised if OU has a deal in principal with Dart to come to OU contingent upon Caleb being gone. OU may be holding all the marbles and giving Caleb the last opportunity to **** or get off the pot
Caleb needs to be gone by OUās choice, not his. He needs to be a total non-factor.
I bet the deal has been signed sealed and delivered my man. What are you smokin?
And what would Gabriel (remember him ?) do if Caleb returns ? No way he wants to be a backup. And heās too talented to not be starting.
haha ok, I got ya!! from this point forward it's C. Williams for me lol!frou...As a Seriously Senior Sooner, I respectfully request that you Please elaborate when you post 'Williams'..I don't know if it's Williams #1...#2...#3, as I can't tell the players without a program!
Dart turns 19 in May and is 2-1/2 years younger than Gabriel so he might be okay with a backup role getting ready for 2023 when Gabriel leaves.
I read on another board that Gabriel was supposedly brought to OU with the expectation that he may have to compete for the starting job as anyone should but who really knows I'm just an armchair speculator.
I for one dont think we need Dart or Williams. Let the competition be between Gabriel, Ruckers, and Bowens. If we can establish the run game, any of these guys will win games. Plus Manning is more likely to choose OU if there isnt a Dart or Williams on campus.
Coe, you make a good point.
I will add that freshman Nick Evers, the 4-star QB from Flower Mound, Texas may also be a candidate to backup Gabriel. He's never mentioned much when we chat about the QB depth this year.
Also, I think Arch Manning is a bit of a hail Mary recruit for OU next year, but if Dart goes to Ole Miss, OU should recruit Manning hard. And as you said, no Williams or Dart on the roster won't hurt OU's chances.
I think re-recruiting Malachi Nelson and recruiting Jackson Arnold (Denton, Texas) may be OU's easier alternatives.
All that said, I hope Gabriel gives OU at least two years of service....through the 2023 season....to better insure there's always an elite QB on the roster.
BTW.....when Dart visited OU, he had his mother with him. At Ole Miss, Dart had both parents and his high school coach with him. This may not be a good sign for OU.
One over time win and all would be forgotten with Caleb. I have a difference of opinion. Caleb was/is weighing his options in the market place. Anyone with his talent would be a fool not to do so. Today's college football player is a different animal from just a few years ago. I agree that the fan would possibly give Caleb a ration of SH*T but that could be erased by one huge play to win a game.
Yeah, and today's sports fan is a different animal from just a few years ago....one that has to accept the ******** by players, coaches, managers and owners as sports teams on both the college and professional levels come up with new money making ways to spit in the faces of their fan base. Professional sports has it down to a science and college sports are catching up.
We cannot forget the part that the universities plays in this saga. OU's pursuit of big money donors borders embarrassing. Joe C's team have played a major role. Money, money, money.
I take it you don't agree. You think Dart would start in front of Gabriel? I don't, but how funny is that?
You're probably right because Manning has been indoctrinated all his life to stay in Dixie....but OU in the SEC might carry some weight for OU.
Grandpa Arch formed a good working relationship with Lebby while at Ole Miss. I think OU feels this might carry some weight in recruiting. It might have in the past but I feel Kiffin has them going in the direction that Manning likes.
