what are the chances of Pearlie Graves falling in love with Bob Stoops and the in-state Sooners?

i figure between beav calling him and RR giving him an in-home visit it should be straight. he's not the one to worry about...

Cameron Gordon isn't visiting this weekend. It says he had planned to visit tomorrow, and take the ACT's at 8 AM Sunday morning. He felt that since his commitment was out of the way, he didn't need to cram it in and risk doing poorly on his tests. Lewan is still in.

a Graves decommitment would be exceptionally weird since he just committed like a couple weeks ago, after all the bad press and the crappy season. Only scenario I can see that happening in:
1) Graves wanted to go to Oklahoma
2) OU slowplayed him
3) M pressed for a commit
4) Oklahoma loses out on McFarland
5) Oklahoma now has room.
Except there's no evidence of 1, 2, or 3. It's weird. Jones, OTOH, hasn't ever been to campus and seems shakier because of that. FWIW, both are talking about officials but haven't actually set any up.

But Graves had a weird quote on Rivals. He essentially said that he wanted to commit when he did to see "who stayed with him" - almost like it was a loyalty test for all his other suitors.
He also said he "conversates" with Oklahoma regularly.

well, if we get Big Will then we can somewhat afford to lose either graves/dequinta jones. but in a perfect world none leave.

based on watching their highlight films, i would rather have pearlie than dequinta anyway...pearlie has exceptional quickness off the ball for a big man...dequinta didnt show me much during his highlights...we still need BIG WILL though...has Sam Montgomery figured out what he wants to do with officials yet?
