Hulk Goes Smash for Sooners
As National Signing Day approaches the twists and turns of recruiting momentum get more and more violent. Nowhere has that been more clear than Norman, Okla. over the past few weeks.
Two weeks ago the Sooners seemed ready to make a huge close to National Signing Day, while last week some felt all hope was lost. Now just over 24 hours before National Signing Day the Sooners are, again, on a roll.

After an early Monday evening commitment from Dahu Green the Sooners grabbed a key pledge from New Orleans Warren Easton Senior four-star linebacker Arthur McGinnis.
His Twitter announcement:
The 6-foot-2, 224-pound prospect is the nation's No. 18 outside linebacker, and No. 13 player in the state of Louisiana has yet to speak publicly about his decision but is now set to sign with the Sooners on Wednesday and has Oklahoma within a breath of the top 12 of the Rivals.com team rankings.
McGinnis, thanks in no small part to linebackers coach Tim Kish, chose the Sooners in a final three that also included Texas Tech and Arizona but also at various points held offers from Boise St., Georgia, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, and UCLA amongst many others.
SoonerScoop.com will have much more on McGinnis' decision throughout the day Tuesday.
