College football: TCU is invading Oklahoma's recruiting scene

Plainview offensive lineman Eli Russ has been pushing and prodding his teammate all week. Oklahoma State is going to rout TCU, he says.

Plainview wide receiver Blake Nowell respectfully disagrees. His Horned Frogs won’t go down like that.

“Just joking, saying we’re going to beat em’ by 35,” Russ said. “Trying to poke the bear.”

Russ is committed to OSU. Nowell is committed to TCU. Two teammates from southern Oklahoma who are close friends will become Big 12 rivals soon enough.

But this weekend is more than just a friendly rivalry for the two. TCU is invading Oklahoma on the recruiting trail more and more each year.
