1:18
Speaker 1: a dub. I am very much excited. This was a
1:25
Speaker 1: much needed, much wanted, definitely a feel good moment of
1:31
Speaker 1: the day. But I appreciate y'all pulling up hit the
1:33
Speaker 1: light button new two chance suscribrate review, give us five.
1:35
Speaker 1: I think Coop's gonna try to join us in a bit.
1:40
Speaker 1: He has a birthday party for the little one, so
1:43
Speaker 1: we're pretty excited and we'll let him. I told him
1:47
Speaker 1: to take care of fam, join whenever you can. HiT's
1:49
Speaker 1: why we're a little bit later, thirty minutes later the
1:51
Speaker 1: normal typically six o'clock, so I gave him some time
1:55
Speaker 1: to you know, like I said, he'll join at some point.
1:59
Speaker 1: So oddly enough, for some reason, my uh, we'll move
2:06
Speaker 1: you in the chat is not showing and I don't
2:13
Speaker 1: know why, but it's probably because I haven't done this
2:16
Speaker 1: by myself in forever, so I want to make sure
2:20
Speaker 1: that we just pull that out of here. But anyway, ay,
2:26
Speaker 1: sooner's got a commitment something we haven't sinked in a bit,
2:31
Speaker 1: and I definitely want to hear from each one of
2:33
Speaker 1: y'all in regards to that. I'm not sure why none
2:36
Speaker 1: of my comments are showing up it's really weird. But anyway,
2:42
Speaker 1: let me uh yeah, the chat chat some reason I
2:47
Speaker 1: showing up. I see y'all my chat on the side,
2:48
Speaker 1: but for some reason on here it's not populating, So
2:51
Speaker 1: I gotta fix that. Give me a second. I love
2:56
Speaker 1: when Alive gives me all kinds of error. It's the
3:01
Speaker 1: weirdest thing in the world. So I mean customize save
3:08
Speaker 1: that one. Uh, I don't know what this one is.
3:20
Speaker 1: This is really weird. You two has been acting funky
3:24
Speaker 1: of the last few days. Anyway, so I don't see
3:30
Speaker 1: any any chat on here like you normally would. But
3:36
Speaker 1: I do see y'all actually in the video, so I
3:40
Speaker 1: have no clue what is going on. Anyway. I'll just
3:45
Speaker 1: look on the side and check some of the chat
3:47
Speaker 1: as we go, but we'll continue to do like we
3:50
Speaker 1: always do. All right, soon it's got to commit Nico Jendreau,
3:58
Speaker 1: Corey Smith, something that we all know that the Sooners
4:03
Speaker 1: really needed. We're starting to see a little bit of
4:05
Speaker 1: momentum on the defensive side of the ball when it
4:07
Speaker 1: comes to recruiting. So like, as y'all know, here, let
4:11
Speaker 1: me see if I can get this to share right.
4:13
Speaker 1: I don't know if it will it won't share right, disrespectful.
4:18
Speaker 1: I'll fix that. So how are y'all? I see y'all
4:23
Speaker 1: in the chat talking to each other, and people just
4:25
Speaker 1: won't see y'all on the screen unfortunately. But Jan dro
4:30
Speaker 1: is the Arizona safety and then Jacorey Smith is the
4:37
Speaker 1: linebacker out of Arkansas. Now, I thought that Jacorey pickup
4:40
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting, mainly because he and if I'm correct,
4:45
Speaker 1: Marion Robinson were teammates at one point. So yeah, that's
4:55
Speaker 1: pretty good doing some recruiting out of out of Park
5:01
Speaker 1: View Magnet School. But I know that Jacorey just transferred
5:04
Speaker 1: to I'm gonna pull this up now, there it goes.
5:10
Speaker 1: Jacorey is actually now at Bryant, Arkansas linebacker six foot.
5:14
Speaker 1: I think he's actually more six point one roughly, he's
5:19
Speaker 1: about like one ninety five two hundred and so we're
5:25
Speaker 1: now actually getting some recruits come down Loune deepensive side
5:30
Speaker 1: the ball. Oklahoma has been slow in that capacity, and
5:34
Speaker 1: I believe that it was more of a it was
5:38
Speaker 1: more of a choice to really get back to re evaluating.
5:44
Speaker 1: You hire Jim Naggy, he brings in the staff of
5:46
Speaker 1: scouts and or whatnot. You let them do their job,
5:50
Speaker 1: and I think that that was kind of where you
5:51
Speaker 1: start to see a lot of this stuff slow down. So,
5:54
Speaker 1: but Oklahoma did snatch up Jacorey out of Arkansas, you
5:59
Speaker 1: get Niko j. We're hoping bo Jandreau the twin joins
6:03
Speaker 1: him so that you know he's another linebacker prospect. And
6:07
Speaker 1: I believe Oklahoma is probably looking to get three or
6:10
Speaker 1: four at the linebacker spot. And that's where my expectation
6:15
Speaker 1: is mainly because for Oklahoma, we've got a We're gonna
6:23
Speaker 1: lose potentially two to three out of that linebacker room,
6:30
Speaker 1: so we know that Bv's gonna have to rebuild all
6:33
Speaker 1: of that over the over the spaces recruiting cycle. He's
6:37
Speaker 1: gonna probably add somebody else. Kendall Daniels is gonna definitely
6:40
Speaker 1: be gone because he's a senior. You're most likely losing
6:42
Speaker 1: either Kip or Kobe, if not both, and at that
6:46
Speaker 1: point you got nothing but young players behind. So at
6:50
Speaker 1: this point you're probably going to start seeing a big
6:53
Speaker 1: heavy pickup of additional linebackers for this class, which I
6:58
Speaker 1: am here for home and needs. We need more, we
7:02
Speaker 1: need to get we need to we need to fill
7:04
Speaker 1: up that pantry. Again, the cupboard isn't there yet, but
7:07
Speaker 1: it's close, especially because, like I said, you've got a
7:11
Speaker 1: lot of the players that at linebacker potentially being gone.
7:16
Speaker 1: So I like that we're starting to see some commitments.
7:18
Speaker 1: We started to see some players actually, you know, commit
7:23
Speaker 1: and the Sooners are closing. So that's a big deal.
7:25
Speaker 1: Let me know what y'all think. Hop in the comments.
7:28
Speaker 1: Want to hear from you all. Now. One of the
7:33
Speaker 1: big updates that did come over the weekend is definitely
7:36
Speaker 1: the the Bo Bentley saga. As a lot of you
7:40
Speaker 1: all know Sooners with Jade and O'Neill right now looking
7:44
Speaker 1: to add a second quarterback to the class, and based
7:50
Speaker 1: upon everything we know, it appears that it will be
7:55
Speaker 1: Jade O'Neill and Bo Bentley. Bo Bentley drops his final two.
7:58
Speaker 1: It's between Oklahoma at LSU. The questions that have been
8:03
Speaker 1: asked have been does Oklahoma really have a chance with
8:08
Speaker 1: Serbo Bentley? He recently did some interviews they were throwing
8:12
Speaker 1: at Salina, Texas. This week saw some interviews with Scoop
8:16
Speaker 1: soon a Scoop as well as Oh You Insiders and
8:19
Speaker 1: rivals and the conversation around Oklahoma. Of course, he points out,
8:26
Speaker 1: you know, being our buckle, the cam Ward, winning the Heisman.
8:29
Speaker 1: I dropped a video on that today, around my tear
8:32
Speaker 1: and how he can get there. Some of y'all lost
8:34
Speaker 1: y'all minds without failing to realize that we literally are
8:37
Speaker 1: like fifteen saturdays away. So yeah, we're doing early talk,
8:42
Speaker 1: but everybody's putting out their predictions. And one of the
8:44
Speaker 1: things that I did see was a lot of the
8:48
Speaker 1: talking heads are starting to really pay notice at Oklahoma.
8:52
Speaker 1: They're paying attention to John Mateer. They're starting to pay
8:55
Speaker 1: attention to the offense Jade not, They're paying attention to
8:58
Speaker 1: wide receiver room. They believe the offensive line is gonna
9:00
Speaker 1: be better because it's way more seasoned. It's a lot
9:03
Speaker 1: more veterans on there now. A lot of dudes got
9:05
Speaker 1: thrown in the fire, and we saw a lot of
9:07
Speaker 1: them step up late in the season as they got
9:09
Speaker 1: that experience. So the expectation is for that to continue.
9:15
Speaker 1: So if Matier goes out there play similar to what
9:19
Speaker 1: did last year, put up over three thousand yards, rush
9:25
Speaker 1: for over eight hundred yards, he's gonna be in that
9:27
Speaker 1: conversation just keeping it a buck. It's not sunshine pomp
9:32
Speaker 1: And that's just me pointing out the facts that if
9:34
Speaker 1: he puts up numbers he did like he did last year,
9:36
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the conversation because that means that
9:37
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's gonna win a lot of games. And that's to
9:40
Speaker 1: me the most important thing. If he wants to be
9:42
Speaker 1: in the conversation, he's got to win a lot of games.
9:47
Speaker 1: Similar to here with Bo Bentley, he's paying attention to that.
9:53
Speaker 1: He recognizes what ben our Buckle has done to the list.
9:57
Speaker 1: He has see the conversations Ry Materi. He saw the
10:00
Speaker 1: can Ward piece. Cam Ward had one of his best
10:02
Speaker 1: seasons underneath Ben Arbuckle as well as John Kuzzieski, the
10:09
Speaker 1: quarterback coach. Both of them are now Oklahoma. Cam Ward
10:13
Speaker 1: left went to Miami and continued to propel himself. So Matier,
10:17
Speaker 1: being three years in the system, he should be able
10:22
Speaker 1: to show up. And I think the one thing I
10:23
Speaker 1: appreciate there too is for Bo Bentley, he plays a
10:28
Speaker 1: game similar to how Matier plays. He is a quarterback
10:34
Speaker 1: that will run quite often. He put up some very
10:40
Speaker 1: very video game like numbers at Salina last year. If
10:44
Speaker 1: I'm correct, Let's see forty two hundred total yards on
10:47
Speaker 1: offense with sixty three touchdowns as a junior forty two
10:53
Speaker 1: hundred yards, sixty three touchdowns, six pounds roughly. And it's
11:03
Speaker 1: funny because that's what two four seven says, reminds us
11:06
Speaker 1: of Jeometeri Okahoma Soums. So it appears that Ben is
11:14
Speaker 1: going for another John. Does that mean for Jayden? Not
11:19
Speaker 1: sure the expectations. Oklahoma's gonna take two quarterbacks, that's the goal,
11:25
Speaker 1: So I know that they're courting both. We'll see which
11:28
Speaker 1: one ends up being that guy. If Oklahoma ends up
11:32
Speaker 1: winning the services of Bo Bentley, maybe you can convince
11:36
Speaker 1: Jayden to stay and have yourself two quarterbacks, two really
11:39
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks, or Jayden will end up potentially another school
11:43
Speaker 1: because there are options. There's a lot of schools that
11:45
Speaker 1: want them. Believe me, Jayden has not limited when it
11:49
Speaker 1: comes to suitures of who wants his play because he's good,
11:54
Speaker 1: as y'all know. I am very fond of his pro
11:57
Speaker 1: style game, and I think that he could be strong here,
12:01
Speaker 1: especially in SEC. I know Georgia one of them, but
12:03
Speaker 1: Georgia now has their quarterback. They picked up what Jared Curtis,
12:06
Speaker 1: So things are starting to wind down as to who
12:13
Speaker 1: we got. But I guess you could say we will
12:18
Speaker 1: see what it is going forward. Let me know what
12:21
Speaker 1: y'all think getting these comments. Yeah, I kind of mentioned
12:27
Speaker 1: this before. Coop had a birthday party for his little one,
12:31
Speaker 1: so that's why you don't see him right now. I'm
12:35
Speaker 1: not sure why none of my comments are showing up,
12:38
Speaker 1: so let me go. Let's see if I can fix this.
12:44
Speaker 1: Still not it's for some reason we're running into problems
12:49
Speaker 1: here on the Yeah, social media's anyway I do. I
13:00
Speaker 1: could use actually a producer someone to run things in
13:02
Speaker 1: the background. That'll be awesome, but requires someone being available
13:09
Speaker 1: to run it. I'm not sure why this is populating
13:17
Speaker 1: like this. This is so weird. One of them days.
13:19
Speaker 1: One of them days, guys, one of them days, anyway
13:25
Speaker 1: I want. I'm hoping Oklahoma can pull out the two quarterbacks.
13:33
Speaker 1: I know that they recently offered another one. His name
13:36
Speaker 1: is Jackson Fields, and he just posted on the socials
13:44
Speaker 1: that he will actually be in Norman in the next
13:50
Speaker 1: what's this the fifth Let me pull this up real
13:55
Speaker 1: quick for y'all. There. It is Jackson Fields. He'll be
14:10
Speaker 1: at the camp on June fifth and he's probably the
14:17
Speaker 1: next quarterback. Oh comes a look at ah, So that's
14:40
Speaker 1: what happened. It did uh mess up? This is totally
14:50
Speaker 1: not fun. Sorry y'all, all of this stuff is broken.
14:54
Speaker 1: But I love the no quarterbacks named Jackson. That's actually
14:58
Speaker 1: pretty funny that someone someone said it. That's pretty good
15:05
Speaker 1: and I get that. I get them. I guess the
15:13
Speaker 1: concern behind that. I don't believe that it's a bad
15:25
Speaker 1: thing to go after a guy named Jackson. I mean,
15:28
Speaker 1: we had I think Jackson don't all be fine next
15:32
Speaker 1: season now that he is in a situation where he's
15:37
Speaker 1: got a lot of support around him that's healthy and
15:39
Speaker 1: aren't super young. But I do like Fields is a
15:43
Speaker 1: twenty He's a twenty six. He's very He's not heavily rated,
15:51
Speaker 1: but he's starting to get a lot of attention. Alabama
15:54
Speaker 1: just offered him, asked him to come to their camp.
16:00
Speaker 1: He is he is starting to pick up a lot
16:07
Speaker 1: over pick up over the last few weeks. But he
16:14
Speaker 1: is a twenty six. As I mentioned, he's out of Louisiana,
16:20
Speaker 1: which I think is a kind of an interesting one
16:22
Speaker 1: that he's a he's a kid out Louisiana. Let me
16:25
Speaker 1: see if I can get y'all some actual film on him. Yeah,
16:41
Speaker 1: let's share this now. When I watched him play, he's
16:53
Speaker 1: got a pretty nice arm and I like his thrawing motion.
16:56
Speaker 1: Look at that just dots. But he is out of Louisiana.
17:05
Speaker 1: That is was that Destrahan High School. Don't kill me
17:14
Speaker 1: for the pronunciation, but I think he solid. Alabama offered
17:24
Speaker 1: him a camp. He got a camp invited from LSU.
17:28
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a Louisiana kid, so somebody's got to
17:30
Speaker 1: pick him up, or someone's gotta consider picking him up.
17:34
Speaker 1: I do think that he has a chance of being something.
17:41
Speaker 1: He really does have a very good chance, But I
17:46
Speaker 1: don't know. Oklahoma's definitely in the market, like I said,
17:54
Speaker 1: for another quarterback, and I expect him to come out
18:01
Speaker 1: to camp on the fifth and that's probably when he
18:04
Speaker 1: gets an offer. Whenever they see him throw again. He's like,
18:09
Speaker 1: I don't even think he's think he's ranked in the
18:11
Speaker 1: what is he top? I don't think he's ranked in
18:17
Speaker 1: the top one hundred right now. He's definitely not someone
18:20
Speaker 1: that's really looked at yet. But at the same time,
18:24
Speaker 1: I think he's good. Actually, I don't even think he's
18:28
Speaker 1: on the rating sites, yet he is not. All I'm
18:38
Speaker 1: seeing right now is funny. I'm seeing the power forward
18:43
Speaker 1: from Troy, but I'm not seeing anything on the quarterback.
18:48
Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy that he really isn't being looked
18:51
Speaker 1: at right now. But again, if here's one, I think
18:57
Speaker 1: this is Rivals that has something on him. He's starting
19:03
Speaker 1: to pick up though a lot of people are starting
19:05
Speaker 1: to pay attention to him over the last Like I
19:07
Speaker 1: said a few weeks, he's got a nice throw and
19:10
Speaker 1: he runs. He's listed at the listings, but to your start.
19:19
Speaker 1: In nineteen and three he had forty one hundred yards
19:21
Speaker 1: pass and fifty two touchdowns. He's the All District Offensive
19:24
Speaker 1: MVP and two time first District quarterback. This is one
19:33
Speaker 1: of those our Buckle specials. And when you think about
19:38
Speaker 1: an our Buckle special, you look at a Matier, because
19:41
Speaker 1: a Materier was one that was picked up our buckle.
19:48
Speaker 1: It's good enough, maybe it's worth the time, But the
19:54
Speaker 1: expectation is Oklahoma's going to take two quarterbacks in this class.
19:58
Speaker 1: They kind of have to. You lose Gonzales even though
20:01
Speaker 1: you pick up a with Newbauer, Materiar's gone. There's a potential.
20:08
Speaker 1: You actually can potentially have four to five scholarship quarterbacks
20:17
Speaker 1: on the roster next year, which would probably be ideal,
20:21
Speaker 1: mainly because, as Sooner fans know, we've had situations where
20:26
Speaker 1: you would have liked to have a You would have
20:31
Speaker 1: liked to have a backup quarterback that you trust. Our
20:36
Speaker 1: retire backups, I mean, the only one besides Michael Hawkins.
20:39
Speaker 1: Everybody else is super young. But I think that Fields
20:43
Speaker 1: could give you a capable arm in the room, someone
20:47
Speaker 1: that in time could be something, could be something now.
20:52
Speaker 1: I don't know until he gets their and throws and
20:56
Speaker 1: gives Oklahom something to look at. But I don't think
21:00
Speaker 1: it's a bad idea to bring in additional arms like that.
21:04
Speaker 1: I think it's actually smart personally. But that's the travel
21:12
Speaker 1: what's going on. Safe travels from Arkansas. My man appreciate
21:20
Speaker 1: that y'all be uh, be safe on your travels. I
21:25
Speaker 1: know the weather is getting a lot of pretty wild,
21:27
Speaker 1: so y'all'll be safe here around Oklahoma. I know there
21:34
Speaker 1: was like some tornado stuff over the last what's that
21:38
Speaker 1: couple of days. Y'all be safe in the streets, all right,
21:51
Speaker 1: talk to me, drop some questions in the chat. This
21:54
Speaker 1: is weird. Everything is like I said, everything's off. So
21:56
Speaker 1: that's my apologies. I don't know what's going on with
21:58
Speaker 1: stream with ev MUCKs or the streaming stuff. I don't
22:02
Speaker 1: get to see any of my comments. I can't even
22:04
Speaker 1: add any of them on here like I want. I
22:07
Speaker 1: think somebody mess something up. I may need to let
22:12
Speaker 1: me try something Stevie, I have a voice because the
22:24
Speaker 1: game was over pretty fast. I was at the Thunder game. Okay,
22:30
Speaker 1: so my posts are coming up with the rest of
22:31
Speaker 1: y'as aren't show enough for me. I was at the
22:33
Speaker 1: Thunder game and it was awesome after the end of
22:39
Speaker 1: the first quarter and the team made a run and
22:44
Speaker 1: then it was a blowout after that. So there's no
22:46
Speaker 1: there's nothing to truly scream at or move my voice over.
22:51
Speaker 1: The Thunder got us that dub, which is what's most important.
22:53
Speaker 1: Shout out to Double Team for the threads love it.
22:58
Speaker 1: Probably one of my favorite shirts. Super comfortable. Give them
23:01
Speaker 1: a free shout out in here on the channel because
23:03
Speaker 1: of some good stuff. So yeah, Thunder got the dub.
23:09
Speaker 1: We are good. Alex Caruso plus forty, Cason Wallace plus
23:14
Speaker 1: thirty eight. So I got my Thunderber and we're celebrating. Also,
23:25
Speaker 1: it's funny Sooners Cowboy that you said that Felix Ojo
23:33
Speaker 1: tweeted with his boy Ryan Foget about them potentially playing together. Look,
23:40
Speaker 1: I'm not holding my breath, but that would be a
23:44
Speaker 1: massive win for Bill beating both. He has to pull
23:46
Speaker 1: that out. Now. That's tough because you just brought into
23:50
Speaker 1: highly rated tackles already who are going to play a
23:54
Speaker 1: lot here. But if you can pull him in two,
24:01
Speaker 1: it's a game changing for Bill beating bow And I
24:03
Speaker 1: know some of y'all are super down on Bill. I'm not,
24:08
Speaker 1: of course, but yeah, Bill has been killing it overall.
24:30
Speaker 1: Very true tofer Foget. Moving to guard does open things
24:37
Speaker 1: up at the tackle spot. Put Foge right there with
24:46
Speaker 1: hmmm Ojo as well as FASUSI. Gosh, it's a strong future.
24:53
Speaker 1: EPL there, Jake Michael right in the middle. Who beat
24:58
Speaker 1: your right guard? You move ep to right, Actually that
25:01
Speaker 1: would be Foget spot. You left EPL Michael in the middle.
25:06
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. It's a pretty solid question. Brian Harris
25:14
Speaker 1: has a commitment on the twenty third. Let me pull
25:17
Speaker 1: that up good one, Toper and this is intriguing. Here's
25:33
Speaker 1: his hats that he has on the table. He's got Oklahoma,
25:44
Speaker 1: Penn State, South Carolina, Michigan, and Alabama on his table.
25:51
Speaker 1: Harris will be again committing on the twenty third, which
25:59
Speaker 1: is is is that Friday? Yeah, Totah says Friday twenty third.
26:09
Speaker 1: That's big, Chuck. We grabbed a safety and a linebacker
26:14
Speaker 1: right now, So Nico Jandrou is a safety, and then
26:20
Speaker 1: the other line and in a linebacker which is ja
26:24
Speaker 1: Corey Smith. That's it right now. More should come down
26:26
Speaker 1: the line, but that's it for right now. No, Boomer,
26:31
Speaker 1: this is not an extra small shirt. The disrespect. I
26:34
Speaker 1: will fight you when I see you, which is hilarious.
26:37
Speaker 1: Road game they hate me. Road game that I'm looking
26:40
Speaker 1: for to the most. Oh man, that's a really good one.
26:44
Speaker 1: There's a road game that's got my attention. I'm pretty
26:48
Speaker 1: hyped about. I won't be able to make it, but
26:55
Speaker 1: I'm hyped to see the South Carolina one. I think
27:04
Speaker 1: that William Brice is a fire like a fire stadium
27:20
Speaker 1: set up environment. I've heard nothing but good things about
27:23
Speaker 1: William Brice. So that's one I would love to check out.
27:26
Speaker 1: But I won't be able to make it this year.
27:32
Speaker 1: But one I'm going to I think I'm looking forward
27:36
Speaker 1: to the most is probably going back to Knoxville. It's
27:39
Speaker 1: been a few years since I've been out to Knoxville.
27:42
Speaker 1: I went to Tuscaloosa last year, two years ago, I
27:49
Speaker 1: went to two years ago to Tuscaloose. I went to
27:52
Speaker 1: Alabama Tennessee. That was fun. Joe Milton screwed it up
27:56
Speaker 1: and didn't win it, but that was fun. But I'm
28:00
Speaker 1: more excited of going out to going back to Knoxville.
28:02
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a fun, real game. Uh
28:10
Speaker 1: disagree sooner, cowboy. I don't think that they didn't hit,
28:12
Speaker 1: they just got hurt. It's kind of hard to uh
28:18
Speaker 1: be contributors if you're injured, right, you know, injuries have
28:22
Speaker 1: kicked our butt. What five star do you want? Xavier?
28:32
Speaker 1: Kind of curious to what five star are you talking about?
28:36
Speaker 1: Knoxville's fun. I every time I've gone there, it's it's
28:40
Speaker 1: a blast of a stadium to be at. Nayland is
28:44
Speaker 1: is dope, It really is. I like the way that
28:49
Speaker 1: they've done Brian Denny though. At in Alabama, I do
28:54
Speaker 1: like how big it is. It's enclosed and they put
29:00
Speaker 1: but screens at the four corners so that everybody can
29:04
Speaker 1: see one. They don't have one big jumbo trying. They
29:06
Speaker 1: got four of them and it's a little odd, but
29:10
Speaker 1: the same time it works because everybody's got a view
29:13
Speaker 1: either on the field or you've got a TV that
29:15
Speaker 1: you can look at a screen. So I like that setup.
29:18
Speaker 1: That's actually a very intelligent, thought out, well fought out
29:22
Speaker 1: aesthetic stadium. But Nayland is just so cool. Everything about
29:28
Speaker 1: it is cool. The other thing that even point out
29:36
Speaker 1: Xavier when it comes to the go after a five star,
29:39
Speaker 1: you've got a front office that's operating like an NFL franchise.
29:43
Speaker 1: You've got Jim Naggy going after players and he's looking
29:45
Speaker 1: for the value on top of the ones that make
29:48
Speaker 1: sense to spend that kind of money on. He's not
29:50
Speaker 1: just picking anybody. He is legit like saying I want
29:58
Speaker 1: players like this, and honestly, this is what he They want,
30:03
Speaker 1: they want more kids, similar to Brian Harris. Harris is
30:08
Speaker 1: a dude. He is really good. I've watched his film.
30:12
Speaker 1: I thoroughly enjoyed it. Uh Me pulled this up for
30:15
Speaker 1: y'all to be able to enjoy as well. But I
30:21
Speaker 1: have thoroughly enjoyed his film. He is really good. So
30:36
Speaker 1: if you you you grab Brian Harris. Let me see,
30:44
Speaker 1: he's out of Florida and again at least is nice
30:50
Speaker 1: Penn State, Michigan. I mean, he's got all the big
30:52
Speaker 1: schools after him, Bama, Ole, Miss Auburn. I think he's good.
31:01
Speaker 1: He may be he may be similar to like that toephy,
31:03
Speaker 1: may be similar to what Jane Jackson was underrated, overlooked,
31:08
Speaker 1: but he's going to be disruptive enough. I think he's
31:10
Speaker 1: one that he's rated a lot lower than what he
31:15
Speaker 1: actually is. Let me see, but you said, see Xavier,
31:28
Speaker 1: you point out Bryce Perry white Rice Perry right, not white,
31:42
Speaker 1: but right the edge Offord. Yeah, you very very slim chins.
31:48
Speaker 1: We're chasing after a Georgia Beauford edge like that. But
31:56
Speaker 1: we are going out to Jake Cruel. Keep that mine.
32:11
Speaker 1: That's one to check out. And it sounds like we
32:15
Speaker 1: are in a very good spot on mister Jake Cruel.
32:20
Speaker 1: But I do like Brian Harris, so we'll get we'll
32:24
Speaker 1: know something Friday on this commitment. I think we have
32:27
Speaker 1: a very good chance to push forward that uh chuck,
32:37
Speaker 1: didn't bait me into it. He has numbers that make
32:41
Speaker 1: you say he's definitely a he's a candidate. If he
32:45
Speaker 1: didn't play a single game yet this was his first time,
32:48
Speaker 1: then yeah, I wouldn't be baited. I wouldn't say nah,
32:52
Speaker 1: I wouldn't consider it, but chuck, Yeah, keep in mind,
32:55
Speaker 1: this is his third year in his offensive system, third,
33:02
Speaker 1: not his first, not a third his second year in
33:05
Speaker 1: the system. He produced almost four thousand yards a total offense. Right,
33:10
Speaker 1: And is that that's what we want? Right? We want
33:12
Speaker 1: a guy that has put up actual numbers and produced
33:15
Speaker 1: something before we jump all over them. True? Is that
33:19
Speaker 1: fair to say? And yeah, Xavier, he is. They're selling
33:29
Speaker 1: him on the ur Mason Thomas game, and our Mason
33:34
Speaker 1: has put up some some really good stuff for us
33:39
Speaker 1: that's to go after. Let's want to look at I
33:47
Speaker 1: did hear that Jackson Arnold looks looks good. I guess
33:54
Speaker 1: he'll definitely start for them, because they're not gonna want
33:56
Speaker 1: to start a freshman on the road in Waco. But
34:00
Speaker 1: I think that the Baylor game will tell you everything
34:03
Speaker 1: you need to know about Jackson or on at Auburn.
34:06
Speaker 1: That game will determine that will be the sink or
34:08
Speaker 1: swim game for him. He's got the weapons, the offensive lines.
34:11
Speaker 1: I think that their lines should be a little bit
34:13
Speaker 1: more refined. That's the strength, Chuck. I don't want the hype,
34:20
Speaker 1: but can't do anything about it, and everybody else is
34:22
Speaker 1: doing it. I'm just kind of pointing out the path
34:25
Speaker 1: because you're one hundred percent right. Everybody's talking about Oklahoma.
34:30
Speaker 1: If you've noticed, I've gone through all the main sites.
34:33
Speaker 1: I see it over at Fox, I've seen a ESPN, CBS,
34:36
Speaker 1: the Athletic, I've seen it at PFF. Everybody is talking
34:41
Speaker 1: about Oklahoma at a level that I'm just like not
34:44
Speaker 1: comfortable with, even though I believe everything they're saying. The
34:49
Speaker 1: way everything is lining up is lining up right, and
34:52
Speaker 1: it's funny. So I went on recently with my boy
34:57
Speaker 1: over there Fanatic Perspective. My guy and me and Steven
35:05
Speaker 1: had a conversation specifically about Oklahoma in their schedule. I'm
35:11
Speaker 1: gona pull us up real quick, And when we talked
35:15
Speaker 1: about it, he asked me, He's like, Okay, what do
35:22
Speaker 1: you think Oklahoma can do to finish the year? For
35:28
Speaker 1: the year, And I said, I'm gonna be honest and
35:30
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be one hundred percent realistic and I'm not
35:32
Speaker 1: gonna blow up smoke at you. The way Oklahoma's schedule
35:36
Speaker 1: is set, there is a very good chance that Oklahoma
35:40
Speaker 1: can win nine to ten games. The schedule is set
35:44
Speaker 1: to win that. And let me show you what I mean.
35:48
Speaker 1: First and foremost, the Michigan game' is gonna tell us
35:52
Speaker 1: everything we need to know. And I talked about this
35:54
Speaker 1: in the video before go check it out on a channel.
35:55
Speaker 1: I broke it down a little bit more, but I'll
35:56
Speaker 1: give you guys a cliff notes on it. Michigan is
35:58
Speaker 1: the most important game. If John cooks them up, John
36:04
Speaker 1: will start the conversations, will get nothing, but it's gonna amplify.
36:08
Speaker 1: We'll amplify all conversations. Auburn. I don't know if that
36:13
Speaker 1: it's in Norman, so I don't that's the too big
36:16
Speaker 1: of a deal. But the Texas game also, But look
36:18
Speaker 1: at it this way. In between each one of their games,
36:21
Speaker 1: Oklahoma has a tune up game right before it Illinois
36:25
Speaker 1: State at the crib and then Michigan shows up. They
36:29
Speaker 1: travel to Temple. Remember Temple just fired their coach. Like
36:33
Speaker 1: I think Stan Draydon got fired late in the cycle too,
36:36
Speaker 1: so Illinois they fired their coach, so they have a
36:39
Speaker 1: new coach. Temple fired their coach or they have a
36:41
Speaker 1: new coach. Then they got Auburn at the crib after
36:45
Speaker 1: going to the road. Which remember the reason why we're
36:47
Speaker 1: playing Temple at on the road is because this was
36:50
Speaker 1: set like back when Matt Ruhle was coached, like ten
36:53
Speaker 1: twelve years ago. Yeah, all over the place, Auburn at
37:02
Speaker 1: the crib. I think we should pull out and out.
37:04
Speaker 1: We beat them on the road, and we were not
37:08
Speaker 1: very good overall, but we pulled it out and we
37:10
Speaker 1: did we need to do. Defense should look statistically better
37:13
Speaker 1: this year because the offense will be able to make
37:15
Speaker 1: it to where the defense can be better. Defense just
37:18
Speaker 1: gotta make sure they don't give a big place bye
37:21
Speaker 1: week Kent State. So you get two kind of cushion games.
37:25
Speaker 1: You get a warm up game, then you got Texas.
37:28
Speaker 1: That's pretty good to have a gap like that, that's beneficial.
37:36
Speaker 1: Then you got you traveled South Carolina, which that's gonna
37:42
Speaker 1: be tough after that game, and then Old Miss coming
37:44
Speaker 1: to the crib. It's a little tough. But if you
37:46
Speaker 1: noticed it, Oklahoma doesn't have any back to back road
37:50
Speaker 1: games in consecutive weeks at all. So you go to
37:56
Speaker 1: South Carolina, then you come right back home to play
37:58
Speaker 1: Oh miss i Oble to Tennessee. That's game is gonna
38:01
Speaker 1: be tough because it's at the end of a five
38:03
Speaker 1: game stretch, mainly four straight SEC games. It's gonna be tough,
38:07
Speaker 1: but you get to buy a week very good and
38:09
Speaker 1: strategic bye week. Then you travel to Alabama. That strategic
38:16
Speaker 1: bye week is gonna help people get healthy prepare for Bama,
38:19
Speaker 1: and then you got two straight games at home. Look,
38:26
Speaker 1: being at the crib as often as we are in
38:28
Speaker 1: this schedule a lot more beneficient. People think, Yeah, I
38:38
Speaker 1: heard about the RJ. Young Deo. I haven't watched it.
38:40
Speaker 1: I have to go back and look at it. Everybody
38:44
Speaker 1: is literally gassing up Oklahoma because and this is the
38:49
Speaker 1: reason why, as we wrap things up, is last year
38:54
Speaker 1: was one all unfortunate, just bad luck. Like what what
38:58
Speaker 1: else do you do about it? Like how else do
39:01
Speaker 1: you blame Oklahoma for the fact that Dane everybody got hurt?
39:05
Speaker 1: Like it was a fluky, coincidental situation that rarely ever
39:11
Speaker 1: happens Oklahoma had happened to him so Barne injury, knock
39:20
Speaker 1: on wood. They should be so much better next season,
39:27
Speaker 1: so much better. And of course I'm hyping us up
39:31
Speaker 1: because I expect us to be a heck of a
39:33
Speaker 1: lot better than what we were last year. Let me
39:37
Speaker 1: know what y'all think, hop in the comments. I know
39:40
Speaker 1: y'all not feeling it like I am. I am. I
39:43
Speaker 1: believe that we are going to end up being a
39:47
Speaker 1: lot better than people expect. Oh, Nate, that's a very
39:58
Speaker 1: good question. I have no no clue how Robert Spears
40:01
Speaker 1: Jenny doesn't make a top ten safety list. When Robert
40:04
Speaker 1: Spears Jennings graded wise, was one of the top safeties
40:08
Speaker 1: in college football. I think last season PFF said that
40:11
Speaker 1: he was like top five. He's actually one of the
40:13
Speaker 1: better defenders in college football per PFF, and no one
40:19
Speaker 1: gave him love. Uh, Chuck, I do? I do. I
40:27
Speaker 1: think that Brent Ventibles is getting five years and I
40:30
Speaker 1: hate to say it to everybody unless we win less
40:35
Speaker 1: games than we did last year. Six wins puts us
40:41
Speaker 1: him explicitly on the hot seat. He has to go
40:46
Speaker 1: at a minimum of eight wins to not be on
40:51
Speaker 1: the hot seat. He wins nine, they make the playoffs,
40:54
Speaker 1: because that means some big wins came out of this schedule.
40:57
Speaker 1: I mean, when we talk about this schedule, look at it.
41:00
Speaker 1: If you win eight games, you've upset me. See, let's
41:04
Speaker 1: pick eight wins. Illinois State, I think they can beat Michigan.
41:07
Speaker 1: I think Temple's a win. I think Auburn's a win.
41:09
Speaker 1: I think Kent state'sll win. That's five. Now you gotta
41:12
Speaker 1: pick three more wins. Missouri should be a win. They
41:15
Speaker 1: got a new quarterback they're setting up. That should be
41:17
Speaker 1: a win. I think oh Miss should be a win.
41:20
Speaker 1: They their new quarterback. I think they just picked up
41:23
Speaker 1: two more quarterbacks out of the portal because they are
41:25
Speaker 1: dealing with a lot of injuries in the backups. Those
41:29
Speaker 1: two are should be there. So that gets you to
41:32
Speaker 1: what to seven? So now you gotta get let's see
41:37
Speaker 1: say five, Yeah, that's seven. So you gotta get two
41:40
Speaker 1: more wins out of Texas, South Carolina, Bama, and LSU.
41:45
Speaker 1: I do think that South Carolina is a win. I
41:49
Speaker 1: don't think that Oklahoma loses that game last year. If
41:55
Speaker 1: you don't give up a twenty one point you know,
41:59
Speaker 1: spot them twenty one point in the first three minutes.
42:02
Speaker 1: Of the game. I think South Carolina will win this
42:08
Speaker 1: time around. Dylan Stewart's a monster, but you got you
42:12
Speaker 1: ain't got Kean Keeley on the opposite side. I think
42:15
Speaker 1: you can pull that one out. That's eight wins, one
42:18
Speaker 1: more win between Texas, Tennessee, and Alabama. All three of
42:24
Speaker 1: them have new quarterbacks, but Texas. The benefit that Texas
42:30
Speaker 1: gets is that Arch Manning has been there in the
42:31
Speaker 1: system for three years. But the line is young, their
42:36
Speaker 1: defense is solid. They've got a pseudo star player at
42:40
Speaker 1: each level on the defense except for interior Dery defensive line,
42:45
Speaker 1: but I think that was a Watson, the transfer from Syracuse.
42:49
Speaker 1: Think that he could potentially be star potential for them.
42:56
Speaker 1: But offensive line is a little bit more refreshed. The
43:03
Speaker 1: wide receiver room is. I think they dealt with an
43:06
Speaker 1: injury that it was a wingo that got hurt. Texas
43:11
Speaker 1: should be a win. Tennessee new quarterback who came in
43:14
Speaker 1: the spring to start over. They had the other young guys.
43:16
Speaker 1: I don't know how they are. Wide receiver rooms a
43:18
Speaker 1: little bit refreshed, running back rooms a little refreshed. You
43:23
Speaker 1: could probably give Oklahoma the Tennessee win. That's potentially ten wins. Alabama,
43:31
Speaker 1: like the LSU game is the one I think is
43:32
Speaker 1: gonna be the hardest for Oklahoma. Veteran Line nuss Meyer quarterback,
43:38
Speaker 1: this is his fourth year there. I love Katan Durmott
43:42
Speaker 1: in the backfield. They always find wide receivers and they
43:46
Speaker 1: always find dbs. It's just what LSU does. I think
43:51
Speaker 1: the defensive line will be better, still young, but better.
43:54
Speaker 1: Dominic McKinley should finally have a breakout year. Modavis a
44:00
Speaker 1: really good recruiter. Harold Perkins is back and he's healthy.
44:04
Speaker 1: We'll see what he looks like this season. Concerning that
44:12
Speaker 1: one last game of the season, if Oklahoma plays their
44:15
Speaker 1: chips right, they could come into that game with maybe
44:19
Speaker 1: two losses. There's a good shot they can come in
44:24
Speaker 1: there with at most two losses. I think they can
44:26
Speaker 1: pull out the win at Alabama. They've got new quarterbacks too.
44:30
Speaker 1: Like Cooper's pointed this out numerous time, which I like,
44:33
Speaker 1: is that look at all the teams that are like
44:35
Speaker 1: refreshing their quarterbacks back. I mean the North Sellers is back.
44:38
Speaker 1: Nus Meyer's back. Arch technically is back, but Arch is
44:42
Speaker 1: his first time starting as a starting quarterback. He'll have
44:45
Speaker 1: about five games in front of him. So yeah, but
44:48
Speaker 1: if you really look at it now, Tennessee's at to
44:51
Speaker 1: get a new quarterback. There's a lot of new people.
44:55
Speaker 1: You got Pribulah the new quarterback for Missouri who came
44:59
Speaker 1: from Penn State. Eight. There's a lot and I'm trying
45:07
Speaker 1: to see what the quarterback. This game is so QB dependent.
45:12
Speaker 1: As we learned very much last year. Young quarterbacks is tough,
45:16
Speaker 1: especially if you're trying to do it all yourself. But
45:19
Speaker 1: you're bringing in a quarterback of Jeo Materira stature who's
45:22
Speaker 1: played in good and bad situations. He's got the experience.
45:29
Speaker 1: But Kyle will be honest. Nine can get you in
45:32
Speaker 1: the playoffs with this team, with his schedule. Nine can
45:36
Speaker 1: get you into the playoffs. People would consider that, But
45:42
Speaker 1: what hurts Oklahoma? And that is the question is gonna
45:45
Speaker 1: be on that nine. How does Auburn finish, How does
45:49
Speaker 1: Ole miss finish? How does South Carolina finish? Because once
45:56
Speaker 1: you get to these last four games, how those teams
46:02
Speaker 1: finish will determine a lot. Oklahoma can walk into the
46:05
Speaker 1: Texas game. They can. They have a very good shadow
46:07
Speaker 1: walking in there, undefeated, and if they can pull out
46:11
Speaker 1: the victory in Dallas as the team wearing white, which
46:15
Speaker 1: has been the streak as of late, the team in
46:17
Speaker 1: white's been doing it. If they can get in there
46:20
Speaker 1: when wearing the white jerseys, I think they can pull
46:25
Speaker 1: the win out in South Carolina. And I think Old
46:27
Speaker 1: Miss at the Crib Oklahoma can beat them as well.
46:30
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's all barring injury. That's eight and
46:34
Speaker 1: oh start going into Knoxville. How does Tennessee bounce back
46:39
Speaker 1: after the Nico situation. I think Joey Aguilar is a
46:43
Speaker 1: better quarterback for the hypel system personally, but and he's
46:47
Speaker 1: also got a lot of He got some experience. You'll
46:51
Speaker 1: see what he looks like. He may come in there,
46:52
