Means absolutely nothing in the scheme of things. My theories about Amari and Dak going to NE had more substance than this and that’s not saying much...
There is ZERO possibility that the player knows that Riley is definitely leaving OU.
The other schools likely repeated 1000x that Riley is likely to leave and they probably put together a collage of media articles, tweets, etc. speculating that the Cowboys are going to hire Riley.
Even if the other schools didn't directly contact him, they can get the message to players in other ways...
Does anyone think he would tell the recruits that he is leaving and no one else? The kid and his family may think even if he doesn't go to DAL, he's made it clear that he is open to discussion about the NFL. There is a chance he will not fulfill his OU contract in this kid's college career.
Lol, everybody's trying to be Sherlock Holmes and figure this top secret information when all it is, is an incompetent GM trying to make a competent GM decision.
