yes. Dupree WAS that good. Â Oklahoma had made the wishbone a famous offense, but abandoned the wishbone offense for the I-formation, Â just to make sure that Dupree got as many touches as possible.
The most entertaining part was the recruitment, Â with schools sending coaches to live full time in his small Mississippi town to seal the deal. Â The family would schedule visits, allowing whatever coach 15 minutes. Â He\'d arrive, one of his rivals would be walking out, while the guy who had been waiting on the porch went in. Â The coach would take his place on the porch, Â then go in when it was his turn...and hold the door for the next coach who had been waiting on the porch after him. Â Crazy.
