QB John Kolar
Norman North gave the 6A-1 leading Union Redskins a scare Friday night, as Kolar threw a 29-yard touchdown pass before halftime to cut the lead to 14-7. However, that was as close as Norman North would get, as Union won easily 56-21. Kolar finished the game 9-21 for 240 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception.
On a brighter note, Kolar has been selected to play in the Simper Fi All-American Bowl, joining fellow OSU commit Jaylon Lane on the West Team. On the year, John has thrown for 1285 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions giving him a QB Rating of 99.1

Tim Settle Takes Official Visit
There was a very large contingency of recruits on hand to see the Cowboy's 37-20 victory over Iowa State, however, there was no bigger prospect than 5-star defensive tackle Tim Settle. Hailing from Menassas, VA, Settle is rated as the #3 DT on ESPN, and 15th overall on the ESPN300. Settle recently visited Virginia Tech last week, and is scheduled to take an official visit to West Virginia next week. He currently holds offers from close to 40 schools.
This was the second time Settle has visited Stillwater, as he visited in the summer and was very impressed by the facilities. Here is what he told Robert Allen at GoPokes:
"I had a great time," Settle texted to Go Pokes. "I love the football staff and they are all great people down there. The town is beautiful."
Settle finished the 2013-2014 season with 72 tackles, 3 sacks, and 5 pass breakups.
2016 QB Recruit
Ryan Ross, a class of 2016 QB recruit out of Kimball High School in Dallas, TX, was in Stillwater this last weekend as well. The dual threat QB was reportedly impressed with his visit, and plans to return.
