Social media reacts to Michael Hawkins commitment to the Oklahoma Sooners

The much-anticipated dedication of Michael Hawkins landed with the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. The Sooners’ legacy introduced his dedication through Instagram, selecting between the Sooners and the TCU Horned Frogs.

Initially slated to make his verbal dedication on the finish of January, the teaching carousel offered a brand new wrinkle to his choice. Garrett Riley’s choice to depart the Horned Frogs for Clemson created a ripple impact that led TCU to herald Arkansas offensive coordinator Kendal Briles.

Whereas at Arkansas, Briles and Hawkins had developed a powerful relationship, one which made the Horned Frogs a participant in Hawkins’ recruitment within the residence stretch.

However in the end, it was the attract of Oklahoma and the relationships cast with the Sooners’ teaching employees that received out. As Hawkins advised Parker Thune of OUInsider at 247Sports, “I used to be type of disillusioned with him leaving Arkansas. As a result of they have been actually a prime college for me, and I had constructed a superb relationship with that employees. So he went to TCU, and I type of simply adopted him. After I received as much as TCU, it was good, however I simply didn’t really feel all of the love. It wasn’t the identical [as Oklahoma].”

So now Hawkins is within the fold for the 2024 Recruiting Class. After Jeremiah Newcombe broke the ice a few weeks in the past, Brent Venables now has a pair of blue-chip prospects to put the muse of his subsequent recruiting class.
