Sooners facing nightmare recruiting scenario thanks to DeMarco Murray's exit

The Oklahoma Sooners have one commit so far from the 2028 recruiting class, and he's a dang good one, but Micah Rhodes ever actually wearing crimson and cream is still far from a for-sure thing.

Rhodes pledged to the Sooners on Jan. 29 as one of the top running backs in the class during a star-studded appearance on Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson's podcast, "Night Cap." However, just two weeks later, OU running backs coach DeMarco Murray took a new job with the Kansas City Chiefs, and although Rhodes is still committed to the Sooners, it's clear the commitment is far from a marriage.
