Another National Signing Day in the books, another one that came and went with relatively little drama for Oklahoma.

The Sooners nabbed a late pledge from L.J. Moore, a four-star defensive back out of California, according to the Rivals recruiting service. Otherwise, it was pretty quiet around the war room in Norman.

Overall, the 2013 class certainly won't go down as one of Bob Stoops' best efforts.

OU continues to take a beating at the offensive line position with Aaron Cochran, Dwayne Young, Rami Hammad all off the board with no verbals to the Sooners.

However, new names continue to appear, and OU already received a visit from George Adeosun from Alpharetta, Ga. Adeosun is the definition of a high-quality sleeper. Adeosun didn’t start as a junior, he missed the summer camp circus and his film only became available in December. He has now racked up offers from Virginia, Arizona State, Tennessee, Georgia and Georgia Tech. He just visited ASU, and assuming that he does not make a late visit next week to one of the local schools, OU appears to be in decent shape with this excellent athlete.

OU also had a visit from Josh Outlaw. OU appears to be good shape here as well. Outlaw is a big-time OL talent and could play inside or outside at tackle.

For the third straight year, there will be no former OU players on either Super Bowl team.

Fifty-seven Sooners have been on rosters in past Super Bowls, and 28 have earned Super Bowl rings. Twenty-five of them actually played in the big game (those listed in bold were starters):

Carl McAdams (at OU 1963-65), Linebacker, New York Jets: Made 2 tackles in Super Bowl III.

During the last two days of meetings between Big 12 athletics directors, conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby offered up a study in equivocation in his discussions with members of the media on any subjects of substance. The man is a true marvel when it comes to sticking to non-commital talking points and crafting milquetoast sound bites.

Although little came from the meetings in the way of real news or forward progress, I do have a few general thoughts on what we did hear. Note that when talking about expansion, the issues tend to look different depending on the criteria you're using to evaluate them. What could be a plus in terms of postseason positioning could be a negative for the fan experience, for instance. (Which bites the big one, by the way.)

*Nobody knows anything when it comes to predicting the future.

Lane Johnson is making NFL scouts sit up and take notice at the Senior Bowl practices leading up to the all-star game Saturday.

*Reportedly, the Chicago Bears may have designs drafting him at their 20th slot in April’s draft.

*SI.com’s Chris Burke has Johnson listed as the 38th best prospect in this year's class, the only Sooner on his list.

Former Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones will show off his talents to pro scouts this Saturday at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. For Jones to be successful in the NFL, he needs a team to draft him and make him learn by holding the clipboard for a few years. It would not benefit him to be drafted by a crummy team like Kansas City or Oakland where he starts from day one.

New England, Green Bay or Denver would be ideal for Mr. Jones. Josh McDaniels helped develop Tom Brady for the Patriots. Tom Clements became offensive coordinator last year for the Packers, moving up from quarterbacks coaching position. His pupil? Aaron Rodgers. Landry also could learn a lot from Peyton Manning, who would be a hell of a mentor.

Being a backup for a few years would give Landry time to hone his skills. He’s got tremendous arm strength and has proven he can complete the deep ball with some good accuracy. His best throws have been outside the numbers and into the field side. And, he does well delivering on deep outs. He has shown he can throw in between a cornerback and a safety in a cover zone. He does well in play action and executes the pump fake with his shoulders.

The annual feeding frenzy surrounding the NFL draft serves as a petri dish for lies, rumors and innuendo. One such suspicious report about Oklahoma safety Tony Jefferson came to light Tuesday, as NFL draft site WalterFootball.com produced a thinly sourced nugget supposedly emanating from the chatter around the campfire at Senior Bowl practices:

Scouts are saying that Jefferson has been getting trashed by some of his former coaches for horrible practice habits and a lack of work ethic in the weight room.

I'm not going to pretend to have any special insight into Jefferson or his work habits. I do, however, think this alleged whisper campaign raises an interesting issue regarding transparency between OU's coaching staff and NFL scouts.

Mystery recruit Dannon Cavil was ready to get started Sooner than later.

Oklahoma is still ranked in the top 20 by Rivals and ESPN. The Rivals rankings will only go up once K.J. Young and Charles Walker get their new evaluations (probably 3 stars).

OU has 20 commitments and four early enrollees in Dannon Cavil, Ahmad Thomas, D.J. Ward and Jed Barnett. (Sounds like Quincy Russell will need one more semester in junior college and will enroll in June instead.) OU’s class in theory could be as large as 29 recruits. I fully expect some more attrition between now and signing day, so OU going for a full 29 would not be a big surprise if the right prospects decide to become Sooners.

OU usually falls a little short. Still, it’s going to be a mad dash to signing day. I fully expect new names to appear and old names to resurface. The recent trend has been OU loses one long-time commit – let’s hope it’s over with the loss of Jordan Mastrogiovanni – and steals someone late.

Tony Jefferson, Kenny Stills and Tom Wort have decided to forgo their senior years at OU and enter the NFL draft. If history (of Sooners entering early) is any indication of how they’ll do in the pros, the bust potential seems high. Of those Sooners who decided to leave Norman early, only the All-Americans were successful on the next level.

Roy Williams was the eighth overall player drafted in the 2002 NFL draft after the Dallas Cowboys did some wheeling and dealing to get the All-American safety. Williams played seven of his nine years for the Cowboys and was named to the Pro Bowl five times (2003-07). He played his final two seasons at Cincinnati, but retired after a fractured forearm slowed his career.

Tommie Harris was the 14th overall pick by the Chicago Bears in the 2004 draft. The All-American defensive tackle played seven years in the Second City and was named to the Pro Bowl three times (2005-07). He was hampered by a couple of knee injuries (late 2006 and 2007) and signed with Indianapolis, and then San Diego. His career now appears to be through.

Adrian Peterson is going to the Pro Bowl for the fifth time, and he’s bringing a couple of Sooners with him to Honolulu on January 27.

Peterson had a remarkable year for the Minnesota Vikings by rushing for 2,096 yards after overcoming a knee injury late in 2011. Since turning pro in 2007, he has been voted to the all-star game every year except 2011.

As a rookie, Peterson was named the MVP at the 2008 Pro Bowl by rushing 16 times for 129 yards and 2 touchdowns.
