Eric,
Because a soft verbal is still committed. Barnett told OSU the day before that he intended to sign with Arkansas. This blog is a BIG FAT LIE.

John Helsley,
Still waiting for an explanation as to how your blog is not chock full of LIES.

Barnett left OSU hanging. He was not a soft verbal. If he was why did he tell the media about still being committed. But even if he decided to go to Arkansas long ago, he should have told OSU so they could have recruited someone else.

Good luck to him. I for one only want those dedicated to the program attending.

Leland, you have been taken in by a bunch of liars. Barnett did NOT do anything like Mcknight. He visited Arkansas the week before signing day, he was a ‘soft’ verbal for the last month, AND HE INFORMED OSU OF HIS DECISION the day before signing day.

OSU FANS = ATROCIOUS, DISGUSTING LIARS.

Joe McKnight did much the same on signing day, but at least he did not promise anyone that he was signing with them and said he would wait until signing day, but he did have 3 solid teams that he was choosing from. He had the caps on the table and was reaching and then pulling back from each and every one. The he reached out to the LSU cap and being from Louisiana the crowd began to cheer and then he reached up under the table and put on a USC Trojan cap. No one even knew USC was on his radar and needless to say the Louisiana crowd was stunned.

These kids are self promoting straight out of high school and I expect that we will see much more of these classless acts as long as we see these T.O. type prima-donnas making news every day.

My Razorbacks are benefitting (??) from Master Barnett’s decision, but I seriously wonder if he is of the character I really want on my football team. Hopefully he is a better football player than person and hopefully something will change in his life that will give him some humility and make him a better person.

Good luck OSU, you guys have caught some bad breaks in the last year, starting with the Dez Bryant fiasco (horrible decision on the NCAA’s part, big surprise there, huh?) to this Barnett embarrassment. Something good is bound to come out of all of this, you have too good a coach and program for this to get you down!

Best wishes. lew

Still waiting for an explanation for all of the LIES in this blog. Barnett was a soft verbal, visited Arkansas the week before signing day, and informed OSU of his decision the day before. Have you ever heard of LIBEL?

Hope that Mr. Peanut re-reads his comments on this blog. He doesn’t think that Honor has anything to do with a person’s word. Believe me, it does on the football field and also how he conducts himself in the business world. Been there, seen it, done it.

Oh c’mon. First of all, there won’t be any HS players on here reading all this “Crapola” (Archie Bunker Word).

Second. Mr. peanut has lost his mind if he thinks his pigs are gonna go 11-1 next year. I do agree they will probably have a better record than osu though.

Third. How about everyone on here go get a life somewhere. If you can’t find one here in the great Sooner state, then travel North to Kansas or something.

Get over it Pokes. It’s part of recruiting. All Gundy had to do was get on the phone to option 2 once he learned he lost out on the BTW kid. Good grief. This kind of stuff happens all the time. Look at the kid A$M lost to OU on NSD.

GET OVER IT……..

John, keep up the bashing and name calling of players who decided that playing for the Hogs was better than playing for the Cowboys. I believe you are good representative of the typical OSU Cowboy Fan and that should bode well for the Hogs in the future when we recruit head-to-head.

Keep up your unjustified attacks and I hope ALL of the young Oklahoma Football players are paying close attention. Unwarranted attacks like yours will backfire on the Cowboys. Watch and see.

A right thing to do if the big jerk wants to go Hog, should have done it before the bowl games, not taken all the goodies till the last day to switch. What a class act, what a low life. A 12 hours to do what on before signing day, after you deduct the night hours what you got? He should have made the decision when he visited the Hogs, not wait till the last day and last hours of recruiting day. Wasted a scholarship for some one else, not to mention time and money spent entertaining him and his families.

John Helsley:
Why didn’t you mention in your hatchet peice that the Calvin visited Arkansas the week before signing day? Why didn’t you mention that the OSU coaching staff KNEW that Calvin wasn’t going to OSU before signing day? Writing an article with the intent of getting people from a kid’s home state angry at him is a low thing to do. To write a FALSE artilce with that intent is shameful. Are you a man? Are you 40? GROW UP!
