OU football: Justin Chaisson to join team, Justin Johnson transferring
After days of speculation and Internet rumors about Johnson leaving, Stoops confirmed to reporters during the Sooner Caravan in Dallas that Johnson was gone.
"Right now we anticipate him transferring, which is fine," Stoops said. "We'll give him a full release and wish him the best. We wish him the best. Certain guys seek certain things and he feels that's best for him. We want it for him as well."
Johnson was a fourth-string freshman fill-in behind DeMarco Murray, Chris Brown and Mossis Madu last season, rushing for 24 yards on 14 carries. With Madu's move to receiver this season, Johnson was again expected to be fourth string behind Murray, Brown and redshirt freshman Jermie Calhoun.
Johnson was ranked the No. 2 high school running back in the nation by Scout.com at Gilmer (Texas) High School and was a U.S. Army All-American. He reportedly told an Austin radio station he intends to transfer to Division II Abilene Christian.
DA says Leaf is 'stalling'
Former NFL quarterback and West Texas A&M football coach Ryan Leaf has less than a week to return to Texas before deputies are sent to Canada to retrieve him.
Leaf has been in a drug rehabilitation program in Canada, said his attorney, William Kelly.
Randall County Criminal District Attorney James Farren said if Ryan Leaf does not turn himself in by Monday or Tuesday, he will begin the extradition process.
"If he wants to play games, we'll do it the hard way. ... We are tired of waiting," Farren said. "We are only going to play this game so long. From Ryan Leaf's point of view, we are under two minutes in the fourth quarter. The game is just about over."
Big cheering section expected for 'King Leonidas'
(This is a nice story on one of the high school seniors we interviewed earlier this year)
Though all the players in the 72nd Oil Bowl will get their fair share of support from the fans, the biggest cheering section will undoubtedly be for Waco Reicher’s Kenneth Cluley, a Wichita Falls native.
“There’s probably 30 to 35 Cluleys in the Wichita Falls area,” said Kenneth Cluley’s dad Joe, “and I don’t think any of us are going to miss it.”
Joe Cluley coached at Wichita Falls High School for two seasons from 1990-1991 and Kenneth was born just before the start of his first season with the Coyotes.
“He has some great stories about that time and still has highlight films from the teams he coached here,” Kenneth Cluley said. “And since I’ve got a whole lot of family here, I’m always up visiting.”

More ASU players likely to feel the draft

SAN ANGELO, Texas — A year ago, Angelo State baseball players Clay Calfee and Shan Sullivan made history by becoming the first two Rams to be selected in the Major League Basebal draft.
By this time next week, they could be joined by three or four members of this year’s ASU squad.
Calfee and Sullivan were both selected by the Dodgers last season — Calfee in the 14th round and Sullivan in the 32nd round. Calfee is still in the Dodgers’ organization. He saw some time with the big-leaguers in a spring training game in March.
Sullivan was released by the Dodgers and will spend his summer playing with the San Angelo Colts.
Both were standouts at ASU, helping lead the team to the Division II World Series two years ago. This year’s team had its share of standouts as well and at least two of them and as many as four are likely to be drafted next week.
First on the list is pitcher Joe Key. Key went to Tampa, Fla., two weeks ago to work out for some teams, including the Toronto Blue Jays.
Catcher Trey Carter is also likely to be picked. He said he has gotten interest from a few teams, including the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs.
Kenny Elkind has also drawn some interest from a few major league clubs. One of the best pitchers in the Lone Star Conference, Elkind has the ability to dominate opponents.
