I'm probably gonna get disgusted with myself for doing this, but I've gotta agree with Drake on this one. Oklahoma's put out some talent over the last decade for a state that's not that heavily populated and doesn't generally have the number of quality high school programs you find here in Texas, or Florida, Cali, Ohio, Pennsylvania, even Louisiana...and most of that talent has stayed home to play for the dirt burglars.

 

[coolhorn]

Oh, and Pflugerville's no trashier than any other bedroom suburb, and better than a lot of them. I know...they were in our district.

I would argue that those are all really good players from okie land but benefit from playing on a dominant team in their conference. Put all those players on Baylor and they go 5-5 and make all conference at best. While players on every dominant team enjoys the same advantage, some go on to prove is was justified in the NFL. Many also prove they were simply a produc of agreat situation. I dont pretend to follow ou players in the NFL so maybe one of you can list the oklahoma HS products that showed up there. I do know Wes Walker has exceeded all expectations (was he even drafted)

 

[That's Right]

I'm pretty sure Welker was not drafted.

 

[skyranger43]

Yeah, and the Drake didn't even mention the Selmons, Rod Shoate, Steve Davis, Steve Owens or this years LB?

 

[tholly]

why don't you throw in tommy mcdonald if we're going back that far. I would like to how of those players listed are starting in the NFL (or a least a major contributor on their team)
