OK, so maybe he did move ...

TUESDAY MID-DAY
Post No. 1,070

Hey everyone. That chatter about TB David Oku is at least somewhat accurate. The Lincoln Journal-Star is reporting that the coveted prospect has relocated to Lincoln, Neb., and enrolled at Lincoln East High.

“It had nothing to do with an emotional thing with a girlfriend,” Oku said of moving to Lincoln. “That had nothing to do with it. I’ve heard the craziest things, that she’s pregnant and all this. No, no. I came here because of school.”

So he moves six weeks into the final semester of his high-school career? Really?

Also, Nebraska's top-rated signee is a Texas tailback. Oku seemed pretty emphatic in that story that a career at Nebraska is hardly imminent.

My thought: Where are Oku's parents?

Norm said...: i often wanted to move out of my parent's house while i was in high school. the best i managed to do was spend the night at a friends house. dang, if only i'd pulled the trigger...; 12:13 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: ... you might have been wildly succcessful like David Oku.; 12:14 PM
Anonymous said...: "I'm moving to Nebraska," Oku said, according to AuburnSports.com. "Go ahead can write a story about it. My parents are the ones that let me do this and they're behind me 100 percent."

WarEagleRK said...: I said it in the other thread, if Oku comes to Auburn, he'll last a year before he gets homesick or goes crazy or something.

I can see me telling my parents at age 17 that I was going to move and go to HS for my final 3 months somewhere out of state.; 12:15 PM

FSJ said...: I've shacked up before...

But I have never.... NEVER.....moved just for a girl.; 12:19 PM
Anonymous said...: Oku needs to make up his mind. Can't decide what high school he wants to go to. Can't decide what college he wants to go to. Let's hope he will get his mind set on Auburn.; 12:20 PM
Quitstina said...: The prom! Hee hee.

I would assume if grades/gradution were an issue he wouldn't have been able to play so that can't be it.

So his parents did not move with him?

Bizarre...; 12:22 PM
FSJ said...: I would assume that after living in Nebraska it would make Auburn look like Vegas...

So there may be a benefit as far as AU is concerned.; 12:25 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Ooookkkaayyy.........Oku weird. I let my son move in the room over the garage his senior year. I understand the need to make a break but this seems more serious than just a senior needing to leave the confines of home.....weird; 12:26 PM

FSJ - did you look at the Apple thing I posted in the last thread?; 12:27 PM
FSJ said...: eh michael....I was here first btw...

I haven't yet...I'll take a look; 12:28 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: FSJ - having been to Lincoln, and despite my love of the Loveliest Village... Vegas would not have come to mind.; 12:31 PM
Matt W said...: I hope Auburn signs him just for the fact that he moved so he could hook-up.; 12:34 PM
Anonymous said...: FSJ- Then let's hope he's the Vegas type.; 12:35 PM

michael said...: After careful consideration, I would much rather he expound, gatiger.; 12:45 PM
Quitstina said...: If he's such a stud, wouldn't he have been able to find someone in his own town instead of moving to another state?

And I can't believe I am actually commenting on the love life of a High School senior......moving on now.; 12:45 PM
FSJ said...: I've made some bad decisions because of "that" but thankfully none of them ended up with me in Nebraska...; 12:48 PM

He may go on to be a huge success but it won't be at Auburn. I think it is a good miss. I also think with the pick up of Dontae it is not as high on our staff's things to do list.; 1:00 PM

Norm said...: cause if you are a hick, your face sure doesn't show it.; 1:04 PM
Quitstina said...: cowboy, I know. I kept thinking...you guys don't think you're hicks? Plus Alabama is prettier than Oklahoma.; 1:04 PM
tigercowboy said...: I was about to add that. If you like brown weeds, rocks and constant wind....you have found paradise.; 1:06 PM
michael said...: gatiger - The puppet issues go even deeper than that experience. The previously mentioned hand injuries from biting them, of course, and how a puppet single-handedly derailed my sheep business in Idaho.; 1:07 PM

michael said...: When someone asked how Marks and Powers would run at the combine, on Saturday I said:

"Powers will run a 4.53 and Marks will run a 5.01. Mark it, dude."

Well, Marks ran a 5.01 on the dot. I should be a professional analyst! If Powers runs a 4.53, then I am driving up to Tennessee and buying a lottery ticket.; 1:09 PM
Anonymous said...: Michael, nice, Combine Guru.; 1:12 PM
tigercowboy said...: Michael,

I to have had this dirt road sterotype placed on me as well. I struggled with my paved road insecurity for years until happened on Kansas. If you want dirt roads go to freakin Kansas. That is the least paved place I have ever been. Now I can face my friends with confidence again; 1:12 PM
Roland said...: If powers runs a 4.53 he won't get drafted; 1:15 PM
tigercowboy said...: I have been out of the loop for a bit but does anyone know why Andre Smith packed his toys and went home from the combine. I was told he has slipped because of this in the draft. Any truth?

Maybe unlike Oku he has trouble being away from home.(Sugar Bowl and now this); 1:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: there are lots of unpaved roads in Wyoming.
Well, there aren't a lot of roads in Wyoming, period. But of the few, a bunch are unpaved.; 1:16 PM
Jet said...: At my age, expanding is out of the question.

Expounding, well, I don't want to do that because it depresses me.; 1:16 PM
michael said...: Malcolm Jenkins, one of the top cornerbacks, just ran a 4.55. I think Powers would still get drafted with a 4.53. No matter what he does, it will be second day, though.; 1:18 PM
Roland said...: Is Auburn having a pro day for NFL scouts?; 1:19 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i have moved for a girl.......however, she was my fiance.

this is quite puzzling. sounds like the kid needs some good mentors/friends around him. hope he finds it soon.; 1:20 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Is it true when they announced Powers name at the combine, the NFL scouts collectively said "who?"; 1:20 PM
michael said...: It's annoying how the rest of the country thinks we are a bunch of rednecks, but I know I do the same kind of summations for other parts of the country. I think California is a bunch of hippy communists, but 45% of em voted George Bush into a second term. That's quite a lot of non-hippies.; 1:20 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I love unpaved roads. When we're on vacation we'll head into the hinterlands on any rutted path. So much more to see that way.; 1:20 PM
Jet said...: We need to pave more roads. Paved roads means progress.

It also puts money in the hands of my major contributors.; 1:21 PM

Anonymous said...: THT, most definitely.; 1:22 PM
Jet said...: We need smaller government, except when big government suits the needs of my constituents and contributors.

David Oku needs to be in the care of the government, unless he decides to come to Auburn ... where the "private markets" are the better place to handle the people's needs.; 1:25 PM

Kinda like some recent AU recruits....all of the Banks I use for bidness have sunk to 1-3 stars.

Will said...: THT I wish someone would have stolen my wallet before I encountered the hill. At least if my money were stolen, then someone would have benefitted from my loss(es). I'm glad you posted the thing about BAC being up b/c I have honestly gotten to the point where I don't even check the markets regularly anymore. It's just so dang depressing.

Oh, and my TV quit working last night as well.; 2:20 PM
Norm said...: Kristina, I was referring earlier to Lawton, OK. Dump to the nth degree.

THT - I used to work for a couple of banks back in my Gump days and still have quite a few shares of their stock. One in particular is currently not worth the price of a printed stock certificate and will likely be another failure any day now. The other one, well...I've theoretically lost a good bit of $ on those two stock but most of those shares are what was actually given by the companies so I'm not really out of pocket. As to your instincts, you need to go "Costanza" and do the opposite of anything you'd normally do.

Jet, et al - on the government issue, I'm increasingly finding I have Libertarianish leanings. Except for the wacky stuff that is. I want anything from my gov't but a strong military (peace through superior firepower) and a good system of roads to get me anywhere I want to go. Outside of that, I shouldn't notice my government.; 2:24 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I don't follow the markets. Just had a hunch about BAC today based on what someone said at our staff mtg last night. A tv that's not working is better than a pile of tv rubble. And no, Luv, I still don't want to talk about it.; 2:25 PM

mdaniel said...: Kristina,
He's been Tight lipped about this for some time.; 2:46 PM
Norm said...: he did briefly touch the topic earlier today. so at this point, i know he loves sheep but hates puppets. he's like a riddle wrapped up in a conundrum that boy.; 2:47 PM
Quitstina said...: Well I"m sure it's a very sensitive subject as sheep farming usually is. Best to let him tell us when he's ready...; 2:47 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Mrs THT went to Auburn for 2 reasons,even though she had never heard of the place:
1. Her father told her she'd have to room with her sister (a yr older) at UNC
2. A guy she liked from high school went to UA-T (LOSER); Auburn was nearest pharmacy school, so she was told.
Kind of funny how things work out. She's not a pharmacist, and she didn't marry a LOSER ;-); 2:47 PM
Roland said...: I almost went to UAT because of a girl I was dating. She turned out to be insane so I went to AU. Never make a life decision based on someone your dating, especially if you are young. It will usually end in trajedy; 2:53 PM
FSJ said...: I happily converted a lifelong Auburn fan to the dark side during the 1993 winter storm....

Norm said...: peace out hotties. it's a nice afternoon here so i'm gonna meet the missus and the tigercub at a local greenway trail for an afternoon run.; 2:56 PM
Quitstina said...: Disturbed them that she became a bama fan or disturbed then that she was with you?; 2:59 PM
michael said...: Look, we have been through this before. I can't really talk about it. The business is not exactly on the up and up. All I can say is that it involves a dog trained by Princess Diana's former butler, and the transportation of some exotic dandelions across state lines. I can't say anymore.; 2:59 PM
michael said...: My girlfriend was a year younger and followed me to Auburn. We are married and gots kids now.

So you work it, Oku!; 3:01 PM
Jet said...: Sing along with David Oku ...

There is no place like Nebraska,
Dear old Nebraska U.
Where the girls are the fairest,
The boys are the squarest,
Of any old school that I knew.
There is no place like Nebraska,
Where they're all true blue.
We'll all stick together,
In all kinds of weather,
For dear old Nebraska U.; 3:05 PM
FSJ said...: Ok..Zoo Keeper caused me to think so here's a question I'll pose to all Hotties:

Have you ever dated anyone from "the other side" in the rivalry?; 3:06 PM
Jet said...: Not only no ...; 3:07 PM
Quitstina said...: Yes, I have dated a bammer and that's really all I want to say at this time. It's a time in my life I am not proud of.; 3:08 PM
Seanzie said...: Faker, I did have a short thing with a very beautiful girl who did attend the UAT. It wasn't a bad experience. As a matter of fact, our first "date" was the 2003 Iron Bowl.; 3:12 PM
michael said...: I dated and was dumped by a UT fan in high school. No bammers, though.; 3:16 PM
Jet said...: Must ... resist ... inappropriate ... response.

Yeah, OK. Oh, no

"Had a short thing?"; 3:17 PM
bigdaddy334 said...: i did date a chearleader of the biggest rival of my high school but I learned from that and did not try that in college. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law both went to the dark side no fun at christmas no fun; 3:18 PM
Seanzie said...: hmmm, bad choice of words on my part.; 3:19 PM
FSJ said...: Who are you posing this question to Jet?; 3:19 PM
FSJ said...: LOL...; 3:20 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'd join a monastery before I'd date someone who didn't hate UA-T, much less liked it or attended it.
Then again, I was too shy too date anyway so it was irrelevant.; 3:21 PM
Seanzie said...: Well for the record I did marry an AU woman who comes from an AU family, and as mine are converted (except for my sister who attends the big ugly orange in Knoxville) family functions tend to go well.; 3:23 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: we don't have family functions, just dysfunctions; 3:24 PM
Jet said...: As my siblings and each of their spouses have Auburn University at the top of their degrees, as did our father, and as four of my parents' eight grandchildren have Auburn degrees, two of them currently attend Auburn, one will attend next fall, and my daughter will surely do the game, I can safely say that my family gatherings are a "UAT-Free Zone."

My parents' lone grandchild that has a degree from someone other than Auburn went to Samford, but wishes he went to Auburn (as does his father, my older brother, who spent a boatload to send him there).; 3:27 PM
Quitstina said...: My family isn't from here so that's not a problem as far as family functions go. As long as I didn't marry a Yankees fan my dad was fine with it. My husband's family are all Auburn people except his aunt who remarried a die hard bammer and now they don't come to anything.; 3:28 PM
FSJ said...: I'm ashamed to say this...but....

My sister is an Auburn fan.

Only one in the family.; 3:33 PM
michael said...: I was raised by wolves. My family has no collegiate allegiance, and family gatherings are awesome (as long as the carcass is big enough for everyone).; 3:33 PM
Quitstina said...: So is "she must have gotten all the brains in the family" too easy?; 3:34 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I'm really showing my poor judgment today. I did date a Alabama fan for a while (not at all die hard, although her father definitely was, since breaking up with her she has been converted), far worse was dating a Florida fan. I really don't like Florida fans.; 3:34 PM
michael said...: "she must have gotten all the brains" means something completely different in my family. That means that she literally hogged all the elk brains. It's a bit of a no-no. In my family, we share.; 3:36 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Michael - your weird, but not a weirdo. My new hero. I hope you don't mind if I try to emulate you (it doesn't involve sheep); 3:39 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: My whole family are Louisville people. My wife's family are all Louisville people.

I'm a Kentucky graduate.

That's my version of conscientious objection.; 3:41 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'd never date a Louisville graduate. Or a Duke graduate.

I can say that because I've been with Wifey since we were teenagers. I never had to dump a hot check because of the school on her degree, but I would have. I'm sure I would have identified (theoretical girl's) shady background before it ever became serious.; 3:44 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: duke, ewwwwwwwww; 3:47 PM
FSJ said...: I must admit that out of the girls I have dated...

Ole Miss gals were the craziest....

and not in a good way.; 3:50 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Auburn has added a "value menu" at BEMC.

Hot dogs, popcorn and "fountain drinks" (not sure on size) now are $2 each.; 3:51 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: traffic around BEMC is going to be a huge problem now.; 3:53 PM
Quitstina said...: I heard that on the radio Jay G. They are having economic stimulus package night. Last year they sold T-shirts really cheap too at the last few games. Wonder if they'll do that again tomorrow.

Be sure to get there early for your white out T ...cause that's such a great idea.; 3:56 PM
michael said...: Weird but not a weirdo... yeah, that's me.

My father-in-law stumbled upon my blog for the first time last week. It is linked in my facebook profile. He was like, "Uhhh, is this really michael?" So yeah, I let my weird sense of humor hang out a little more on the webs than in real life.; 3:56 PM
Unknown said...: I don't know what to make of this move. Disrupting the last half of his senior year doesn't make sense. If it isn't a girl, I would assume he is considering signing with Nebraska.; 4:00 PM

AUBigCat said...: Jerraud Powers ran a 4.47 (unofficial) at the combine

Analysis
Positives: Short, but has a legitimate NFL build. ... At least adequate deep speed. ... Flashes an aggressive initial hand punch at the line of scrimmage. ... Good hip swivel to turn and run with receivers. ... Good agility and quickness out of his breaks to close on the ball. ... Peeks back at the quarterback and is willing to gamble. ... Can adjust his body in space to make the athletic interception. ... Rides receivers throughout the route and isn't intimidated by bigger receivers. ... Reliable open-field tackler who flashes some pop. ... Good agility to avoid blocks.

Negatives: Might be too short to handle working on the outside. ... Good open-field tackler who flashes some pop, but his physicality hasn't translated into forced fumbles. ... Can be too aggressive. ... Has a tendency to bite on the fake and lacks the elite burst to recover when beaten initially. ... Fought a nagging hamstring pull as a junior.
