OU Sooner Blues...

Trey Franks and Jaz Reynolds are among 4 Sooners suspended indefinitely for violating team rules. This announcement went public on Wednesday night by head coach Bob Stoops... OU will most like have one reciever, Kenny Stills who is a junior and will have the primetime television exposure this season.. with any big-time college football game experience. Franks' and Reynolds' suspensions were first reported by OUInsider.com, which said Franks is out for the entire 2012 season and Reynolds for seven games. Wednesday's announcement makes the development of true freshman Trey Metoyer even more vital. Metoyer received overwhelming reviews from teammates and coaches, and backed them up with a six-catch, 72-yard performance in the spring game. Still, the lack of experience from Sooner pass-catchers is suddenly a great concern for a team that entered spring expecting the position to be a strength. Stills has started 25 games in his two years on campus, and had 786 yards and five touchdowns last season. But both he and Jones struggled after star Ryan Broyles, the NCAA's all-time receptions leader who was drafted last month by the Detroit Lions, tore his ACL in the middle of the 2011-12 season. “We didn't know what to do once Ryan went down to tell you the truth,” Stills said a week before the spring game. “We never saw that coming, and it hit us really hard. “The spring has helped us figure out what we're going to do.” Now, the Sooners could be forced to rely on Stills and lots of newcomers. In the fall, true freshmen Durron Neal, Sterling Shepard and Derrick Woods will join the team, as will junior college transfer Courtney Gardner. Reynolds, a junior, was OU's third-leading receiver last season, with 41 receptions, 715 yards and five touchdowns. Franks was the Sooners' leading kick returner, averaging 23.9 yards a return as a sophomore last season, and caught 22 passes for 196 yards. Co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel raved about Franks' all-around play during spring football. Both Franks and Reynolds have been suspended before. Reynolds was suspended after tweeting insensitive comments about a gunman at the University of Texas during OU/Texas week, and redshirted that season. He was also suspended for one game last season for a violation of team rules. Franks was suspended for two games last season for violating unspecified team rules. Jackson started two games and played in 11 as a true freshman, finishing with 12 receptions for 165 yards. But he didn't participate in April's spring game. News of Jackson's suspension comes just days after he tweeted he was transferring to Texas A&M. Reports in the aftermath of that announcement indicated the Aggies knew nothing of Jackson's plans to transfer. Oklahoma opens its 2012 season at UTEP on Sept. 1, 2012, so that gives the Sooners' enough time to get it together and gear up the most exciting sport in the country!
