Just a few weeks after the signing of the
2006 football recruiting class, OU has turned
its attention toward the 2007 class.
While the 2006 class helped add depth with
the signing of 28 players, the 2007 class will
focus more on a few key positions and top
talent with the lack of scholarships available.
Josh McCuistion, Associate Editor at
SoonerScoop.com, said he thinks that this
recruiting class will end up with somewhere
around 17 players.
SoonerScoop.com is one of the most in-
depth Web sites about OU recruiting.
The number of scholarships available is
never a sure thing because so many different
things factor in.
While the scholarships of graduating
seniors are guaranteed to open up, others
open up due to players transferring and play-
ers leaving early to go into the NFL draft.

classes to come out of the state of Oklahoma
and this year’s class looks to rival that one.

players in the nation according to Rivals.

One of whom is Austin Box from Enid,
Oklahoma
Box currently plays quarterback and free

recruiting him as an outside linebacker.

Some of the most important quarterback
targets, according to McCuistion, would be
Nick Fanuzzi from San Antonio and GJ.
Kinne from Canton, Texas.
Kinne might turn into a two-team battle as
Kinne really likes the Soonera and his mother
is encouraging him to choose OU. However,
Kinne’s father recently took a coaching posi-
tion at Baylor and this could factor into
Kinne’s decision.
As well as OU and Baylor, Kinne also holds
offers from Alabama, Nebraska, Tennessee
and Texas A&M.
Meanwhile, Fanuzzi currently holds offers
from Miami and his father’s alma mater
Kentucky.
The Sooners are also in the recruiting
chase for the quarterback who appears to be

Claussen has two older brothers who also

top teams from around the country.
