Oklahoma football: ChampU BBQ a heavy-hitter event and major Sooner recruiting lever

This past weekend Oklahoma football hosted its major recruiting activity of the year. Every year, the Sooners host the ChampU BBQ, a huge event which brings in several dozen of the Sooners’ and the country’s top recruiting targets.

While college football recruiting is an all-year activity, and sometimes more than that, the real push for Oklahoma recruiting ramps up through the remainder of June and into July. That’s when, historically, the commits for the current recruiting cycle begin falling in the commitment column with greater frequency.

A number of OU’s top targets for 2024 were in attendance at ChampU BBQ over the weekend, and Brent Venables and the Sooner coaching staff are hopeful that the event will close the sale on some of the top prospects OU has been heavily recruiting.
