Bailey a hot target in Oklahoma
Lawton (Okla.) Eisenhower athlete De'von Bailey is one of the most explosive and exciting athletes in the Midlands Region. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder already took an official visit to Wyoming in September and it looks like he's thinking more and more about other schools and other visits.
But first things first, Bailey, who is 6-foot-2, and 200 pounds, is focused on finishing out his senior season and hopefully that won't end until a good run in the playoffs are complete.

"I'm doing alright," Bailey said. "We took a loss last week, but other than we're doing good. We're 6-2. Oh yeah for sure we're going to the playoffs. We're going all the way. We're going to state."
Bailey is being recruited mainly to play receiver, but is a good enough of an athlete to play a number of different positions.
Bailey was at the Oklahoma-Colorado game this past weekend, and while the Sooners have yet to offer they seem interested.
"I went and saw the Colorado game," Bailey said. "It was a pretty neat game. It was freezing there, but I had a really good time and Oklahoma says it's pretty interested in me. They want to see some more senior film."
He said his top teams at this point are Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas Tech and Vanderbilt. He just recently added an offer from Kansas State to go along with the ones he has from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Wyoming, Vanderbilt and Tulsa.
"I'm supposed to go to Kansas on the 8th and 9th of December," he said. "I want to check out the community, the academics, the team, the coaching staff, the whole facilities and basically the environment around the team."
