You're right, the offensive lineman from Oklahoma -- Derek Warehime -- committed to Tulsa this week, and seems pretty solid in his commitment.
However, there should be no complaints about Scott Dale, either because he is coming from a private school or because he's big. He has been timed UNDER 5.0 in the 40-yard dash, which is exceptional for an offensive lineman, and he is not fat he's very strong. This guy anchored a line that opened holes for their tailback to run for more than 2,000 yards.
Also, before anyone goes nuts because he's a private school guy, keep in mind that his team is among the best private school teams in the nation and he excelled against every team they (Arlington Grace Prep) played.
Also, before he narrowed his choices to his final three, Kansas State was after him -- the same Kansas State that is coming to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl, is ranked in the top 20 every year (usually the top 10) and has a history in recent years of big, powerful, mobile offensive linemen.
Welcome aboard, Scott. Your jersey is waiting for you.
