A look at the 2016 recruiting class

Sooners land five-star recruit

Caleb Kelly commits to play linebacker SPENSER DAVIS @Davis_Spenser

Five-star linebacker Caleb Kelly committed to Oklahoma on Wednesday evening. With Kelly’s signature, the Fresno, California, native became the Sooners’ top recruit in the 2016 class. Kelly chose the Sooners over Oregon and Notre Dame. The talented linebacker also had offers from Michigan, Alabama, Florida State and Georgia among others. He is the No. 3 outside linebacker and the country’s No. 25 overall player, according to 247 Sports Composite ranking. Kelly has been atop the Sooners’ recruiting board for months. His commitment means Oklahoma’s 2016 class ranking moves from No. 23 to No. 20, according to 247. After his commitment, Oklahoma players and coaches took to Twitter to celebrate the addition of their new pass rusher. PHOTOS PROVIDED BY 247SPORTS

After Mayfield, question marks abound at QB Depth at position may be problem in 2016 SPENSER DAVIS @Davis_Spenser

Four-star quarterback Austin Kendall officially sent his National Letter of Intent to Oklahoma Wednesday morning, becoming the second scholarship quarterback on the Sooners’ roster. Gone from the football program are the experienced talents of Trevor Knight and Cody Thomas — Knight to Texas A&M and Thomas to the baseball team. Instead, it will be Kendall and a pair of walk-ons backing up Baker Mayfield in 2016. Coach Bob Stoops said Wednesday that Kendall’s presence as an early enrollee will help the transition. “I think the biggest plus is Austin Kendall having all this extra time in the winter,” Stoops said. “He’ll be in there everyday whether he’s with Baker or Lincoln. They’ve already been in there throwing with the receivers on their own. “He’ll take big steps, I believe, even before spring ball. And then he’ll get a ton of extra plays through spring ball. We really believe in his talent, and we’re

excited about him.” Still, quarterback depth will be a major question mark for the Sooners going into next season. Mayfield’s playing style often has him playing outside the pocket, and it eventually resulted in a pair of concussions over the final six weeks of 2015. “I wouldn’t say I’m concerned,” offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said. “Would you like to have more guys there? Sure. We’re probably not going to have the same kind of depth that we’ve had. I feel good about the people that we have there.”

“We really believe in his talent ,and we’re excited about him.” BOB STOOPS, HEAD COACH

Baylor experienced a severe lack of quarterback depth last season and ultimately paid the price with late-season losses to Oklahoma, TCU and Texas. The Bears entered the season with a semi-proven talent in Seth Russell, but after a blistering start to the season, he went down with a neck injury. True freshman Jarrett Stidham became the backup and

performed admirably before going down with an injury himself, yielding to a pair of former wide receivers to finish Baylor’s season at quarterback. TCU was plagued by a lack of quarterback depth in 2015, too. Behind the Horned Frogs’ early-season Heisman candidate Trevone Boykin was a walk-on and a freshman. Bram Kohlhausen, the walkon, began the year as the Horned Frogs’ backup quarterback and nearly led TCU to a comeback against Oklahoma while filling in for Boykin. Foster Sawyer, a former fourstar recruit, was ineffective in four games in 2015. He completed 40.7 percent of his passes for 155 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. If Mayfield were to sustain another concussion — his fourth of his football career and third in 12 months — or another serious injury, Oklahoma could be met with a similar fate. Stoops and Riley both said the Sooners did not look seriously at adding another quarterback to help alleviate depth concerns. “It was something talked about, but finding the absolute right target, to this point, hasn’t presented himself,” Stoops said. “It wasn’t something that we felt doing for

just anybody.” Assuming Thomas sticks with his decision to pursue baseball, 2016 will be the first season in more than a decade that Oklahoma doesn’t have at least three scholarship quarterbacks. The last time was back in 2005, when the only scholarship signal callers on the roster were Rhett Bomar and Paul Thompson.

“That’s part of the deal with quarterbacks,” Riley said. “You’re going to have attrition and you better have the next guy up ready to go.” Spenser Davis

Hield, Sooners impress Durant Thunder star sits courtside as OU powers past TCU JOHN WALKER @jtw2213

O k l a h o m a’s Tu e s d a y night game against the TCU Horned Frogs was nothing special. The Sooners showed up, took care of business and came away with the 95-72 home victory against the Horned Frogs. But one special attendee was front and center to watch the top-ranked Sooners and star guard Buddy Hield in action: Kevin Durant. The Oklahoma City Thunder star resided courtside with athletic director Joe Castiglione, OU women’s basketball coach Sherri Coale and OU president David Boren. Durant came away impressed with Hield’s 17-point performance as Oklahoma cruised through another Big 12 Conference victory. “I thought he was good, and the team was good,” Durant said. Durant ranks atop of a long list of professional athletes, musicians and celebrities taking notice of the

four-year veteran. Hield earned his fourth Big 12 Player of the Week award on Monday as the senior comfortably leads the conference in scoring. His stellar season, highlighted by outscoring LSU forward and fellow Naismith Watch candidate Ben Simmons by 18 points on Saturday, has inspired national media writers and college basketball pundits to peg Hield as the frontrunner for college basketball’s National Player of the Year award. While Hield was not made available to the media, Durant and Hield briefly met in the tunnel after the game. Hield will join Durant at the professional level in just a few months. But while Hield is cementing his legacy in Norman, Durant shared a small tidbit of advice for the Oklahoma star and future NBA prospect. “Keep it up,” Durant said as he made his way out the Lloyd Noble Center’s south entrance.

Sooners find success in classroom Oklahoma student athletes combined for a 3.06 GPA in the fall semester, tying the highest mark in program history and making eight consecutive semesters of a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, OU Athletics announced Tuesday. “We are extremely proud of our student-athletes for their outstanding performance as students as well as athletes,” OU president David Boren said in a release. “They continue to break all records in terms of their academic performance. Our aspiration is to be number 1 in both academics and athletics.” Athletic director Joe Castiglione also had plenty of praise for the student athletes who matched the program high set in the fall semesters of both 2013 and ‘14. “We never take for granted how successful our student-athletes are year in and year out in their athletic endeavors, and the exact same holds true for the excellence they exhibit each semester in the classroom,” Castiglione said. “We continue to be proud of their academic performance and achievements, and also acknowledge the outstanding work of our academic support staff and coaches in helping to foster a commitment to inspiring academic progress and to graduation.” Dillon Hollingsworth, assistant sports editor

It’s the one day between February and August on “You’ve got to dig which fans can declare their team a winner or a loser.

and find who these young men are. Go through their families. Find out their backgrounds. You’ve got to find out through the schools — other teachers, not just coaches,” Gundy said. “You better know if you really think you got somebody — a doubt at all that you may not, you better have a plan.” That doesn’t mean decommitments don’t bother him though. “It’s more of a personal deal — the type of person that I am and how I raise my children. But, then again, people come from different areas, different backgrounds,” Gundy said. “Sometimes there’s reasons for things, and we can’t control that. I think there’s some things that can be changed in the future and helped. I don’t know all the interests for that. Just hold some people more accountable.” One option being offered to minimize those incidents is an earlier signing period for those who are ready to commit before National Signing Day. It’s a tricky proposal, but it has its proponents — including OU coach Bob Stoops. “We have five guys here that are mid-year. They ought to have a signing,”

Stoops said. “I think it ought to be around Dec. 20, when it coincides with junior college guys signing. Some kids are leaving school early and if they want to sign, they can. They don’t have to. Point being, if they know where they want to go and want to sign, they ought to have the right to. Not earlier than that, I don’t believe. “I think anything in August or anything like that, I’m not for. We get a lot of visits through the fall. You could take three or four visits through the fall and still sign Dec. 20.” The issues with the system won’t keep the Sooners from having a top-25 class this year, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have suggestions on how to improve the process. “I just think there are some ways that you can do it better,” Riley said. “I think, however, we do it we’ve got to find a way to create more accountability from the school’s end and from the prospect’s end. And I think until we do that, it’s going to be the little bit of a circus that it is right now.” Dillon Hollingsworth

Mardi Gras mambos to town Parade will include floats, food, bands LAMA AGHA @LamaAgha

The 22nd annual Mardi Gras parade is making its way to downtown Norman on Saturday. This year’s theme is Mardi Gras Mambo, so put on your dancing shoes for an evening filled with music and dancing. The evening parade is family friendly. A variety of bands, friends and family will roll down the streets dancing and celebrating as winter comes to an end. This joyous celebration will be filled with colorful costumes and top hats as well as face paintings and mysterious masks. “The parade was founded by local artists and was sustained by local artists and collaboration with local businesses and enthusiastic volunteers with a passion for mardi gras, parades, arts and fun for the fun of it,� parade coordinator Aimee Rook said. The parade goes around the block twice, Rook said. The organizers expect a larger crowd than last year

due to increased activity on social media, television and radio, Rook said. “We have 20 entries this year — about five are floats. Three are bands; the rest are trucks, vans, marchers and dancers,� she said. For the first time, this year the parade will have food from DA Gumboman and Ya Ya Gumbo as well as coffee and donuts. Ma n y c re a t i v e f l o a t s have been seen in the past Mardi Gras parades, and this year won’t be any different. People can still register for a float in the parade for $20.16, according to the parade’s website.

Canine and live band entries are free, Rook said. Entries can win awards for the best marchers, dancers, music, lights and theme, Rook said. The best family business entry and the best “rolling object� will also win awards, Rook said. The best overall entry will win the “Fabulous Flanigan� award, which is named after the parade’s founder, Jeannie Flanigan, Rook said. The parade also held a contest for the 2016 queen, and the awards will be distributed at Puebla Tequilaria around 8 p.m., according to the parade’s website.

“ The Nor man Mardi G r a s p a r a d e c o m m i ttee accepts nominations throughout the year and votes on royalty,� Rook said. “We look for humanitarian and arts contributions in the community.� This year, the crowns went to the co-founders of #YESALLDAUGHTERS for their efforts to affect positive and protective awareness and change in local high schools regarding sexual violence and effective response, including legislation for education, Rook said.

This semester, as part of a class, more than 20 foundation-level studio art students will work on an ongoing community-based project that will premiere monthly during the 2nd Friday Norman Art Walk throughout the semester. The class, Integrate d Stu d i o, i s a p a r t o f t h e OU School of Art and Art History. It is taught by assistant professor of sculpture Daren Kendall, printmaking associate professor and graduate coordinator Curtis Jones and assistant professor of photography and digital imaging Todd Stewart. “I think a lot of people think of art as taking place in these discreet places like galleries and museums,� Jones said. “Just getting it out of that is a way of redirecting your thoughts about the potential of art and what it can actually do and how it can function socially.� “The central element of this work will be the creation of a temporary community space designed to facilitate, produce, and archive

collective narratives,� according to the class website. “Participants in the project will be asked to interpret the act of storytelling broadly and encouraged to explore collaborative, multidisciplinary, and experimental approaches to narrative,� according to the website. The site-specific work will be presented in a shipping container they plan to outfit as a studio, Kendall said. The shipping container was chosen because “as a device or as a site it’s mobile, it’s flexible, it’s adaptive,� Kendall said. “It does what art does best: adapts to its environment.� Stewart calls it a contemporary space that’s easily placed, and for Curtis, it helps take art out of traditional contexts. “On its own, it’s different; people aren’t going to know what it is at first and just the idea of it already starting off the conversation on a less traditional ground than if it was an art gallery. (It’s) a space that doesn’t have those kinds of expectations,� Curtis said. The students have yet to formalize most of their project but agree this place is for social engagement. They want to plan events there similar to a storytelling night, where anyone who wants

can come speak. “Community-based is one way we are describing social practice art,� Stewart said. “We are also focused less on creating discreet objects and more on engaging students with experience. How that can create a dialogue and how the creation of that dialogue is the act of creating the artwork.� Leading up to these events, the instructors will work in the community to help students and community members develop their ideas beforehand. Stewart emphasized the diverse modes of storytelling. “It opens the possibilities for ways in which people tell their stories because some people are going to be more inclined to write; others may be more talented with their hands,� Stewart said. “We are saying this way is just as valid as that way.�

The experience of being challenged is what creates that dialogue, Kendall said. “For these stories to find a voice and exist in one place is powerful, for the community to engage in their own story as a way of showing that different narratives can exist and actually enrich our experiences,� he said. Stewart hopes for he and his classmates’ work to leave an impression on those active in the community, he said. “I hope it empowers those in the community to question the assumptions they make, whether about the community or the relationship they have with the power or structure of the community,� Stewart said.

Student activist runs for office Leader of Indigenize OU hopes to build bridges in Norman AMBER FRIEND @amberthefriend

An OU grad student and Indigenize OU founder is bringing her activist background to politics by running for Norman City Council. City council candidate A s h l e y Mc C ray , w h o i s Absentee Shaw nee and Oglala Lakota, is a lifelong activist for indigenous peoples’ rights. This past year, McCray has led several movements in the Norman and Oklahoma City area, including the formation of Indigenize OU and its connections with other on-campus organizations and the beginnings of a statewide movement as well. Her actions have not gone unnoticed. McCray was honored as a “Champion of Change” by the White House in September and awarded the 2015 Norman Human Rights Award. Last fall, OU President David Boren and the Student Government Association signed a proposal to recognize Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a movement put forward by Indigenize OU. Though activism is still important to her, McCray wants to make a difference as a politician by running for representative from Ward 6 of the Norman City Council. “People like me have been left out of the political

process, and I feel like it’s really important that we see ourselves represented in those political leadership positions … We bring a lot to the table, and we have a lot of experience and a different perspective on the political process that can make it deviate from the status quo that is upholding right now,” McCray said. McCray said her campaign is centered on “building bridges,” specifically connecting east Norman to local government. As a person of color living in a poorer part of town, McCray said

she has seen and lived disparities regarding access to treatment from and representation in local government, and she wants to act as a voice for those who feel unheard or unrepresented. Heather Shotton, a Native American studies professor and McCray’s mentor, said she is constantly inspired by McCray’s devotion to those around her. “I think Ashley would make people think,” Shotton said. “I think that she would challenge people, but most importantly, would make sure she was a voice for

those who are often marginalized and unheard and rendered invisible in politics. “I’m very proud of her for taking that step and being so active and being such a strong advocate for her community.” Though the issue of marginalized groups not finding a voice in local government is a larger, systemic issue, McCray said, she believes it is a disservice, not only to minorities but to all citizens, to ignore Norman’s complicated history with racism and Native Americans. “There’s a lot of difficulties

building bridges between d i f f e re n t c o m m u n i t i e s whenever we don’t acknowledge the hurts of the past.” McCray said. “We can move forward from that once we acknowledge that.” McCray’s bridge-building extends past her neighbors and fellow people of color, however. McCray also wants to open a public dialogue with the police department so that citizens can address issues with officers in a comfortable setting. McCray said, along with discussions about race, economics and

“hyper-policing” on the east side of Norman, she would like part of this dialogue to be focused on police responses to sexual and domestic violence, which she sees as insufficient. “The way (the police) consider domestic violence is really outdated. It blames the victim and really doesn’t afford much space for justice to occur for the survivor of the assault. ” McCray said. “I’m hopeful that they are wanting to change when they realize that this is a problem.” Sexual violence is one of several issues important to McCray. Focused mostly on environmental and social issues, McCray also wants to address fracking and the local environment as well as reproductive justice and respect to elders, she said. At this point, McCray is enthusiastic about her campaign and looking forward to the election. “I feel more energized and charged after talking to people who are like, ‘We’re so glad you’re going to be here. We need you. We need your voice of resistance and criticism.’ And they know I will always hold people accountable,” McCray said. “I will always be a champion for the issues that my community raises because that’s who I’m accountable to.” Amber Friend

Halftime features heritage Native dancers bring their culture to basketball game DERRIC CUSHMAN @derric_cushman

For the first time, the OU American Indian Alumni showcased its culture during halftime of OU men’s and women’s basketball games, treating the audience to a rendition of a Native dance. Those in attendance for either game were given the chance to experience Native American culture with a halftime performance paying respect to the history of the horse with the Horsetail Dance. Charley Eisenburger, an America Indian Heritage Night Horsetail dancer and OU alumnus, said the ceremonial dance pays respect to the history of the horse from the past, present and future while inspiring generations both young and old. “We’re using that to try to give inspiration to the youth of today and even elders to

have them pay attention to the younger ones and vice versa,” Eisenburger said. “So that way the strength that the horse gave to Indian people, we want to use that power to fuse generations together to make us strong like the spirit of the horse.” American Indian Heritage Night served as an opportunity to bring campus involvement and cultural awareness into the spotlight. Organizations such as the American Indian Science and Engineering Society, the American Indian Student Association, Gamma Delta Pi, Sigma Nu Alpha Gamma and the OU Native American Studies Department all worked in conjunction to br ing Amer ican Indian Heritage Night to OU. T’ata Roberts, president of the American Indian Student Association, said these organizations would like to bring more campus recognition to the Native American community and show the history of the culture with the Horsetail Dance. “This is something that we

wanted to do to educate with a dance that is not really seen called the Horsetail dance,” Roberts said. “It’s an older style of dance where we can show people our history and how far Native Americans have come with this piece.” Roberts said the Horsetail Dance signifies the past, present and future. She said she hopes Oklahomans are able to see some of their own personal histories within the Horsetail Dance. “There’s a lot of people in our audience that do have Native American heritage. There’s a lot of people that aren’t always able to see that aspect of their backgrounds,” she said. “This is a little something that they can bring to heart and learn a little about their people and about their background.” Eli Wilkerson, director of marketing for OU athletics, was more than willing to have American Heritage Night in order to show the importance of recognizing the heritage and values that were on display.

Roberts said the hope is that American Indian Heritage Night will become an annual event in the future with plans for more of these types of events throughout the year. “I think it’s a really big deal, and it’s something we should celebrate,” Roberts said. “We want to make it more of an annual thing and make it grow and become more educational and more of a celebration. And also for the community and Natives in the surrounding area to come out together and enjoy the halftime.”

Model UN prepares for annual conference 11-student team finalizes travel plans for St. Louis ELIZABETH ANDERSON @lizziewynne

A group of OU students is busy preparing to represent a powerful European country at a mock United Nations conference later this month. A team of 11 students from OU’s Model UN will depart for the 56th Annual Mi d w e st Mo d e l Un i te d Nations Conference in St. Louis on Feb. 10 and return on Feb. 13., according to Jack Schaefer, the president of the club. He said 400 to 500 students attend this conference yearly. At a meeting last week, members finalized travel plans, filled out paperwork and discussed the logistics of the trip. As the conference approaches, members are conducting research and writing papers stating their country’s positions. The team will split into committees to debate economic, social, humanitarian and military issues. OU’s delegates will repre s e n t G e r m a n y a t t h e conference. Jarrett Jobe, a

professor at the University of Central Oklahoma and the OU Model UN’s adjunct faculty member, said he anticipates that researching Germany’s positions should not be too difficult because Germany is such a prominent player on the world stage. He and Schaefer expect immigration and the “The UN itself deals European debt crisis to be with, of course, critical topics. The College of security issues. It also International Studies funds deals with climate part of the OU Model UN’s change. The UN trip, Schaefer said during covers such a broad the meeting.

These students are eligible to receive

additional funding for travel costs. Jobe explained that another portion of the group’s funding comes from the club’s foundation, which raises funds from the junior high and high school conferences. The OU Model UN hosts middle school conference in the fall and the high school conference in the spring. Students who wish to go on the St. Louis trip are strongly encouraged to volunteer in these conferences. Jobe said all students who want to participate in the conference receive most of the funding they need through the College of International Studies and the club’s foundation.

These two sources allow students to attend who might not otherwise have the opportunity. Students from other Oklahoma colleges will also attend the conference. Jobe said his group from the University of Central Oklahoma, which will represent Japan, will come to the conference, though the schools will not travel together. The OU Model UN went to St. Louis last year, but the chapter has experienced low participation and high turnover in the last few years. Schaefer said that he is the only member attending the conference for a second year. He said the group

has not done the best job of promoting its organization in the past few years. Another issue facing the club is that interest seems to outweigh participation. Megan Reeves, the OU Model UN’s staff adviser, said that several international students have expressed interest in the group, but only a few have participated in the meetings. As the club’s president, Schaefer said he wants to continue to build membership in the next few years by promoting the chapter more and participating in more regional conferences. Although about half of the team members participated

in high school Model UN, Jobe said little prior experience is needed. New members can learn quickly how the Model UN works. Lauren Hale, an international business and accounting freshman, recommends interested students to give Model UN a try, even if they have no experience from high school. “A lot of people are in the same boat,” she said. Although the opportunity to go to the St. Louis conference has passed this year, Schaefer said that students interested in participating in the Model UN can attend meetings after the conference and volunteer at the high school conference in March. Students do not need to be International Area Studies majors or minors to participate in Model UN. “The UN itself deals with, of course, security issues,” Jobe said. “It also deals with climate change. The UN covers such a broad spectrum of topics.” Schaefer said that by preparing for and attending conferences, all students can benefit by developing their abilities to cooperate, research and communicate. Despite a difficult few years, Schaefer said he’s hopeful the group will be able to increase its membership again. If the OU Model UN does more to promote itself to interested students, it will be able to participate in even more conferences in the future. Elizabeth Anderson
