  Speaker 1: actually had some good stuff happened in a way, while
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: at the same time had some unfortunate but we'll dive
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: into all of that. How are you feeling on this
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: beautiful Wednesday, early after early evening?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Same thing, I mean, I'm just it's the same. Like
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna try to stay the same until
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: we kick off the season. It is now we moved, yeah,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: it moved forward, and uh listen, Jay, we're we're both
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: in sales and I see a lot of our our
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Sooner brethren on the socials and just it's it's when
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the process is going on you're freaking out. It's like, man,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: you do your job and you see what happens, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and you you you make it happen afterwards. Uh, you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: we we we saw a lot of good stuff. You know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: as I'm looking in the rankings here, you know, we
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we we've got a good group of high ranked guys.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know, there was a couple of other
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: things that happened, and I think we'll dive into that.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: But a little luster taken out of this. Out of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the national signing days, I heard people on the radio
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: making fun of the fax machines and stuff like that,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and it's it's crazy. I actually had an interaction where
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: somebody asked me, A client asked me, hey, can you
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: go ahead and fact that over? And I'm like, the.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Wait is possible?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you want to you know, you want
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a military bond too? I mean, what else are we
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: doing that's antiquated and now dated? Let me let me,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: let me, let me look into that. So but yeah, no,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: it's it. This is just not the same day that
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it used to be. So but hey, here we are.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know that I understand kind of the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I guess feelings behind that, while at the same time
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: for me, it's more so. Sure the national letter of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Intent portion isn't there, but the financial agreements are still there,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: so it's kind of the same. Actually the correction, it
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: is the same because you can only have one financial
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: agreement signed because it includes the revenue sharing component which
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: kicks in next year. So I know it's not in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: l I like we're used to, but it's there. Uh,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: shout out to soon your legends. Appreciate you, Mike for
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the ten dollars. Jay. I'm stoked about our class and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: oh see, and I wish Jay nothing but the best. Well,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll pop the cherry there and really dive
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: into this compon it of it. We had a portal injury.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Jackson Arnold will be entering the transfer portal. Let me
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: get this pulled up. I had it pulled up and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I closed it on ACA seeds.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And I also I also want to say this, Mike,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: don't do that shit. Keep your money. I appreciate you, sir, Mike.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna turn around and do it back to you
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: next time on your podcast. So uh but uh no,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I I appreciate it. And it's listen, we got lots
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: of people who all want the same thing, and you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like family turmoil. Like, you gotta what
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: are the core concepts? We all love this super you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: this sooner program, this is this is you know, it
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: affects us, It affects our moods, affects our day. Our
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: fanship is is big, and man, you know the core truths.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: You got to stick to the core truths. We want
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to see this team be better next year, and we
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: may have different opinions how we get there, but all
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: in all, man, you know, you know this is uh,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: we love a blue blood. I mean, there's other programs
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: out there that are seeing a lot of crazy stuff
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: going on in the programs, firing coordinators, the day of
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: national signing days, both strategy, cotton, but a lot of
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of movement right now, and college football
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: is going to continue to be this way, especially with
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the revenue sharing and stuff coming up. But yeah, man,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: you gotta, we gotta know, we gotta know, you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: core troops. What's the core troops? We want this team
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to be better?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. And so Jackson makes the decision that
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: he's planning on hitting the transfer portal. Does that mean
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Jackson Autot is in the transfer portal? I mean, I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: think technically his name is going to be in there,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna lie. It's not I mean, it's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: not a bad thing. It makes sense as to why
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: he would leave Coop, I don't. I know, some people
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: have issues and people are sad about it, and people
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: are happy about it. To be honest, I'm indifferent. I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: wish him the best. I hope that he's able to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: find a place that he can go to where he
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: can flourish. This was a very bad year just in
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: all accounts, a very well lessoned learned by this staff,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: not with him, but just in general of you know, management.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And that's why you got Ben Rbuckle coming in as
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. You need not only inventiveness innovation, but
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you need someone that's willing to be collaborative because if
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the rumors are true, yeah, you need somebody it's gonna
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: be willing to collaborate. But I digress. He plans on
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: entering the portal, and you know I said wish him
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the best. You add him with Jeques Petaway. That's basically
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: your two names that it came in as portal guys
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: right now. But interesting enough, someone posts it up. Tariq
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Masri he posted Spencer Rattler, Caleb Williams, Dylan Gabriel and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: now Jackson Arnold. The Sooners haven't had a freshman quarterback
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: in his career as a starter since January, since Landry Jones.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Only Baker and Gaber had started two full seasons since
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Jones in twenty ten twenty twelve, So we see a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: lot of quarterback movement. And technically Dylan Gabral was not
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a freshman here, he just came in as a transfer.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: So Spencer Rawler, Caleb Williams and now Jackson Ardold are
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: your three that have come in as freshman and have
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: not finished. We haven't seen anybody finish here, and hopefully
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that changes with Michael Hawkins. I see people asking the question,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: who's gonna be the starting quarterback? Don't know as of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: right now, John Mattier has not hit the portal, So
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: until he officially hits the portal, we don't know who
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks well right now to the quarterbacks with me, Michael Hawkins,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and then you got a jet new who's in as
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a freshman, came into twenty five class. He flipped. You
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: also have Brandon Zebrug still on roster. He's there, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I mean that's really your three. And then Steel Wasele
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: he's the other quarterback this on the roster right now.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So it's basically the Michael Hawkins Show until the Sooners
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: going to the portal. But Coop, We'll be honest. If Oklahoma,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: if I mean Jackson Oa walked into the office and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: let them know that he's gonna be hitting the portal
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and Oklahoma didn't really put up a fight. You think
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma's got a quarterback in mind, it's coming through.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: If you don't have a plan, that's not very good, right.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'll say that it's you know, and listening
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: to some of the Arbuckle stuff, I'll say this, go
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: watch our buckle, Go watch him talk. He you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: he made a comment. Was it him and his wife
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: wife went on their first date? Oh you notre Dame game?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: The the some people frightening truth. You remember that game
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: as the day we got the news that Harden was
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: being traded. But sure was there you go so craziness.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: But but yeah, I mean you listen to our Buckle
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and he sounds I love everything about him. The way
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: he sounds, uh, you know, the way he's excited. He
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: has more energy, and you saw that in some of
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: his press conferences. You know, they're the process. Still there's
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of cloudiness on how everything happened, but it
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: seems like he pretty much from the first conversation was
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: ready to go. So at that point, at that point,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: even the the you know, you start setting yourselfself up mentally.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: You start thinking, all right, so if I go here,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: this is what I want to do, This is who
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I want to mess with, who I want to have
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: conversations with. This is who my quarterback needs to be.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: And you know, so he's he's been thinking about that
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: right there. That that that's that is what it is.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: And so you had to think that like in the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: past six days or whatever, he's already had conversations. And
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: so now we get to wait how that one because
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: now with whatever day this is called, now you now
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: have transfer portal coming here in a few days, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: as soon as that bad boy opens up, we get
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to see about twenty percent of them land somewhere. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: so the transfer portal is not always the best thing
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: about college football, just from the player perspective, because listen.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I mean it's I mean, it's kind of like everybody
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: has seen kind of what you've done. And if you
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: have nothing to put on tape and there's not much there,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: there's always going to be Especially for a program like
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: an Oklahoma or a Texas, Alabama, Ohio State George and
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: stuff like that, you want to you're going to go
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: after people who are going to be able to help
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: you immediately. You don't go to the transfer portal and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: be like, this is a guy that in three years
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: he could really help us. You're going to go with
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: someone who hopefully is going to help us this coming year.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: So I think that there's an idea with who the
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: quarterback is going to be. I'm of opinion if it's Hawkins,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: let's roll. I'm of the opinion if Materi wants to
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: come here and battle it out, let's roll. Because it's
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: a big opportunity to play quarterback at this university.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is, and this is one school that you
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: want to try to follow in the footsteps of some
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: of the greats and do it again. And it's funny.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Somebody just posted a tweet on here that thought was
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: kind of fascinating. I will give them props for this.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I think they deserve all of your attention and uh
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: whatnot for this. I'm gonna pull this up real quick
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: because I think it's interesting. But let me pull me
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: change tabs and give me a second. I want you
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to be able to see this from this individual named Kendrick,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I think this is a very interesting perspective. Let's put
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: it that way. But he basically says Jeffaiesh, Trevor Knight, Obama,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: not much else. Our vocal was your Lincoln Riley. Y'all
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: see that clip. John Mattier transfers his Baker Mayfield. Watch
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: his tape. He plays a lot like him. And then
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Mike Hawkins Junior who stays sits behind it to your
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: for one year is your Kyler Murray. And I think
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that's just hilarious because it's just it's just hilarious in
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: general to put all of that stuff together. You know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you got your board everything like Charlie Day. But I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: mean it's not far fetched.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, I mean that's human nature, right, draw the comparisons.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Kendrick props out to you. You go through the things.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, like we saw that scenario play out
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: and it played out really well. We also saw Jackson
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Arnold as a more talented, physically talented version of Baker Mayfield.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: And unfortunately for Jackson, he just didn't have He just
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: he was put in a really bad position just from
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the get go. And that's not just the injuries. It's
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: not just the offensive line, that's not just the play
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: calling and everything. There's just so much. We've said it repeatedly,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: there's so much going wrong, Like at what point do
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: we do you start tinkering? Like what what do you
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: try to fix? First? We just got into a spot
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: to where, let's be honest, you just get to a
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: spot where you just kind of keep on cruising and
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: take the lumps where they're at and you know, try
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: to get better. This team's going to try to get better.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: If Jackson, you know, decides to go somewhere else and
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I know he's in the transfer portal, I mean, the
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the the hey never mind does happen here and there.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: But wherever he lands, you know, it's going to be
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: another set of pretty big expectations for him. He's a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: former gatorad Player of the Year, five star quarterback, and
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: everybody thinks that they can probably go out and fix them,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: fix a couple of the bad habits that he developed
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: over the past you know, past year. I just I
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: just think that, you know, this is a spot where
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: you need a new look at Sam Donald. With Jackson Arnold.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I think of Sam Darnold. I'm not gonna lie. Sam
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Donald this year has done way more than I could
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: ever have expected him doing. And because when he was
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: at the Jets, it was bad, lots of turnovers, lots
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: of you know, lots of bad decisions, lots of crap.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: He then he goes down is at Carolina, same situation.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Did he go out to San Francisco, never saw the field,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: you know, got to sit behind Brock Purty, the mister irrelevant.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: And you know, now he goes to Minnesota. I don't
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: think anybody had very big expectations for him coming in.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: He was supposed to be the backup to JJ McCarthy.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Dude balls out. Now he has the opportunity to, you know,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: to really put a career together, and he's probably going
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: to get some money, you know, in this offseason. I
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: think it's the same thing. It's it's you got the yeah,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Jackson Arnold, and maybe he goes somewhere maybe it's not
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: as big you know, of a of a program. You know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: maybe it's a Mississippi State pressure really really really off
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: on him down there.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: So we'll see, yeah, we'll see. To me, it signals
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that they have an idea where quarterback is going to go.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: We'll see what it looks like in the bowl game. So,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you know, shout out to you know, Jackson Arnold. We
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: appreciate the fact that you burned your red shirt and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: you went out there and still played as hard as
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you could, no matter what the circumstance. Circumstances was not optimal,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: but we appreciate that. But on to the good news.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: You know. Sad to me, you see players lead. But
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: this one, man, this one right here, this hit like
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: a hit, like a streight of dopamine hit. Immediately it's official,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: your boy, Michael Vasousie committed. Have a correction, he had
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: been committed. He just signed the paperwork. I think this
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: was the best part about it, Coop. Everybody was of
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: course freaking out about this, right you know, the everybody
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: was losing their minds about you know, Fasousie and wondering
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: if he was going to actually end up being a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: sooner and uh see if it'll go up and doesn't
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: want to go up for me, there it goes. Why
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: is that as small anyway?
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: That's what she said.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: A good point. But he gonna add he he hit he,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: he he did his commitment. The commitment was not all
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: out all ridiculous, all kinds of stuff all over the place.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And what people you know, was kind of hope was
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: it was thinking it was gonna be. But Brent Vinnables
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: talked about this. He said, you recruit your problems and
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna have drama, drama and recruiting and you're
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: gonna have drama when it hit the hit the field
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: for Susie went out there. His area was dressed in
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: crimson and cream or red and white, which you ever
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you wanna call it. He had boomers sooner stuff around.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: He sat down, he took the mic, He thanked the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: people for what they did, gave him that thanks. He
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: sat down. Then they had all of the players there
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: sign the paper work and guess what it was not
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: on the line, which was dott it. That was it.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: It was like simple playing, nothing fancy and that's it.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: They just got it done, which was awesome. Not gonna lie,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: it's good to have recruits like that, recruitments like that,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and I don't think sooner fans understand or appreciate it
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: as much as they should. Yeah, low drama, low bs.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Just I want to play here. Boom, I'm gonna sign
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: my paperwork, not say anything to anybody. Let all those
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: sources talk in the background, get their clicks. All he
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: did was what sign so we got a five star
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: plus office the tackle, so he add to a pretty
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: darn good class.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, first, I've got a I've got a uh, you know,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: controversial take. And then second, but first up, if you
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: expected drama and expected all this crazy stuff with VASUSI,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: ya haven't been paying attention. Fasusi didn't sign because early
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: playing time. He didn't sign because in I l He
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: didn't sign because on field play this year. He he
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: loves Bill Beidenbow and he wants to get developed by
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Bill Bibbow. Plain simple, that's it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: There was not There was no drama. He took visits
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the past couple of weeks because it could. That was
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: you know, he just wanted to go out and have
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: some fun. It was available to him. He went and
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: did it. He wants to go see a game in
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: his home state two weeks in a row. Probably yeah,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: probably the same. So I but I'll say this is
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: it was for clicks. A lot of the stuff was
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: for clicks. The past couple of days, the drama leading
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: up to it, all those things. Did you really think that,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: like this was a situation. I mean, you saw what
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: he did with the signing thing on Instagram. It was
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: dead silent. He didn't do anything. There was no craziness,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: There was no ripping off the jersey or anything like that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: There was none of that stuff. It was just a
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: plain is simple, like, hey, we're going to sign our stuff,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: you know, at two two thirty, and it's going to
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: be done. And it was just very very easy. And
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: so yeah, I mean, the guy's going to come in
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and he's going to go to work. He's not guaranteed
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: a starting spot. That's not who Bill Beatenbow is. If
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: you think that you haven't paying attention to who Bill
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: beating Bow is. You know, he's got the opportunity to
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: come in here and from day one to really really
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: just dig in and do some work. And if he
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: sees himself, you know, whether it's a guard spot or
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: a tackle spot. He's going to be a guy who
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: comes in and works for some stuff. So I'm pretty
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: excited to uh to see him get here. Uh, this
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: is Bill being Bo's best class he's ever signed. You
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: look at the right here, Jay, Yeah, Tee Davidson, thank you, sir.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: You know, hutting, holling back. You know, we could go
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: in through a lot of this. My daughter's favorite favorite
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: player ever has never played snap at ou yet and
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that's Darius Afolava, So she was pretty excited about that.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: But yeah, man, I I I I'm excited for this
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: because you know, you saw what was it somebody else
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: tweeted out like our thing to Charles Xavier. You know
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: some some statistics about Bill beaten Bow and and you
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: know just what he's accomplished. Like now, Bill being Bow's
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: there's a there's a there's a good chance that he
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: gets Recruiter of the Year too. He's going to be
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: in the final runnings for this. So the guy just
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: goes out there and gets people. And so he has
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: a chance to work with some really really good talented
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: folks here that you see on the screen.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love this class. This is probably one
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of if not his best class that he's had. I mean,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: you've got two top ten tackles, you know, a very
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: nasty up and coming couple of interior guys. Actually you
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: know three of them. You know, even with Sean. You know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Sean's just just a quiet storm. His dad, his dad,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: his brother says he's sixty three, he's not six foot
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and they're saying he's legitimate. So you got Owe Hollingback,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: who is a powerlifter, thinks the state champion powerlifter and
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: wrestler wrestling. I think that's the one thing that people
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: have to keep in consideration. You got a wrestler playing center,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: he's a state champ. Now many times he's gonna lose
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: battles in the trenches. Kind of love that, right, Befoge
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: And for Susie is your books bookends? Yeah, man, you
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: struck gold with that, and this is what you need.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: And I see people in the comments talking about where
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: we're ranking in the recruiting for this class. I'm gonna
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: be honest this year, if this was last year, i'd care,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, eh, I don't like that. We're like
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: tenth in the SEC. You know, we don't. We should
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: be higher like we you know, we were fourth last year.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: You know we ship stay in that range. Blah blah blah.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: This year, I don't really care as much. You know why,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: because we're gonna hit the portal hard. We're gonna have
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to We're gonna have to hit the portal hard. Because
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: BV said it even its presser. I put out a
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: video earlier. I put out like three videos today, which
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: is kind of crazy. But anyway, luckily my day job
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: was kind of quiet, but I put out a video
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and from bv's press conference, he said, we played eighty
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: one freshman sophomores this year that got snaps eight thousand snaps,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: over eight thousand snaps. Cool, that's a lot. That's a
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: lot of snaps. You know what that means? Though, We
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: got a lot of young dudes that's gonna be playing steal.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: So bringing in a class of eighteen with a couple
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: of walk on so about twenty total makes sense because
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to play everybody, So why
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: would you, you know, try to do that. You know,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: have all these dudes out there that's not gonna be
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: able to play. But to me, going back to the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: class itself, so we talked about the O line. You
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: got Foge and Fasousi, which we both like. As I mentioned,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: they're both top ten tackles in the country. Which is
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: most important. Which is most important is that you get
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: some really good linemen that everybody's asking for. Who else
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: jumps out to you from this class that you're excited
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: about now that it's all signed and still and delivered.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I mean there's so many and before that, like Texas
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: signed twenty four, Georgia twenty seven, Alabama twenty one, five,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: twenty three, twenty four, twenty five, twenty five, twenty four,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: twenty four, twenty two, twenty three, twenty one, eighteen. So oh,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: you took eighteen guys. They're going to hit the portal hard.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: They've got a lot of young talent, a lot of
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: young talent coming back. And uh and the two Harris
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: kids that left those you know, we we kind of
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: spoke on this. I think that was a you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: it had been a numbers focus for the portal. Cortez Mills.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I wanted him here, but you know, after you saw
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: the the shirt stuff, you know, it's like, well, now
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to be I'm not going to be
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: too uh to uh to worry about that one anymore.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: And but I say, this is Trent Wilson. Somebody said,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: as I saw somebody tweet out, I think it might
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: have been trap House, you know, say, he looks like
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: he's got a CDO license already. Brent Vina will say,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: he looked like he's forty. He looks like a guy
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: who just wants to come in and hurt some people.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: So he's one Elijah Thomas. Though, Elijah Thomas is a
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: guy that I think that can make an impact pretty quickly.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: The guy balled out, he's an Oklahoma guy. He's he's
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite, you know, one of my favorite
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: recruits for this for this season. So I mean, et
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: is one of one of my big one of my big, big,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: big big ones. So how about you.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as I look at the class, I'm trying to
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: get this graphic together so y'all can actually see them.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: But uh no, and even to answer the question here
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: about bag man in here he asked about he pointed out,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: you know that Florida and all these other schools are here.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: It is you know, see I get a Jay at Jay,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: but Florida and Auburn are straight garbage and they're still
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: hoarding blue chips like a serious football program. Bag man.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I know what that means. They about to lose a
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: lot of players, Like I don't know if y'all have noticed,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: but there's been a lot of dudes entered the portal
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: from a lot of those schools we had too so far.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I expect a few more on offense, but I think
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: that's about it. Yeah, that's a difference. They're gonna they're
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: replenishing the players that they're losing because they're still gonna
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: have to get to one hundred and five like us.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Our way of getting to one hundred and five is
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: getting dudes out of the portal that we actually want,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: especially as coaches are moving around and people are taking jobs,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and some of their good players don't want to stick
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: around for the current head coach. They're only there for
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the position guy we're evaluating. So I do anticipate there's'll
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: be some wide receivers bouncing, but I do anticipate that
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: we're gonna replace them with other ones. But back to
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the class, it's he's gonna be nasty dog, Elijah Thomas.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a beast Like I don't care. Nobody saying,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: dude's going to be a beast watching him out there
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: at Dakota. Yeah, he's done some stuff. He's gonna be fun.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I don't think CJ. Nixon comes in until summer, if
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I'm correct, because I think he's still playing basketball this year. Yeah,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I don't think he went ahead
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: and passed on hooping, so I think he's going to
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: be out there. I love like you said, Trent, he
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: does look he looks forty. I feel bad for a kid.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: The jokes are out there, man, just stop joking on
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: it you. Oh my boy, Oh my boy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: The last dude like that was Smash a p Ryan.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Smash pe Ryan. Everybody thought that he was a player's
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: father walking around, so he.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Really did look like somebody daddy, Like what are we
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: doing here doing? Oh man?
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: This is this is hard j because you can go
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: down this list and there's I'm just be I'm not
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: be a jerk right now. There's there's only one that
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I'm really not too super excited about. And uh but
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: outside of that, like everybody else, I am extremely excited about,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: you know, the two safeties from Markansas. Both of those
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: guys are going to be absolute studs. Af A Love
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: already mentioned him. Uh uh, you have Emmanuel Manny choice
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: you know another big body Jade Gibson style receiver six
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: four one ninety, probably a little bit more ready to
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: roll early Tory blaylock Man. I just that's that's my sleeper.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: If I could pick someone that nobody, nobody has tabbing
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: for big awards, he's one that I do. Really, the
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: guy is a the guy I'm gonna try to Uh.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: There was a running back and this is this is
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: this is tough, and I hate doing this, but there
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: was a running back and I'm trying to think of it.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: He went to Oklahoma State, played for the Dallas Cowboys.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: He was just that was Arkansas.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: He did go to Arkansas.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: My bad, You're right, I'm trying to think of it.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Just not Justice Seal Savage. Was it Savage? No, anyway,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: somebody somebody will say somebody will say it in here.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: He got in trouble with the law too. But when
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: he was at Oklahoma State, he was a guy who
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: speed was his his talent. Vision and speed was his talent.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: And once Julius Randall.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Julius Randall, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Is it? Is it Julius Randall or was that the
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: defensive ended No.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Julius Randall's the basketball player you're talking about us. It's Randall?
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Is it Julius?
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know, But anyway, it's like he was a
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: guy who won cut and he was just gone. And
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: that's what Blaylock reminds me of. He is a one
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Joseph Randall.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Joseph, that's what was Joseph, not Julius's Joseph. Yes, that's
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: what it was. Yeah, yep, right, but go ahead, continued.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: So so he was just got yeah, yeah, running back
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: to rob the pawnshop. Don't forget des Bryant got busted
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: for robin at the mall down in Dallas. But I digress.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: But he's just a guy that, like I think that
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of people were excited about Tatum last year,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: You're excited about a lot of these guys, extrab He's
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: another one that just comes in and he's a guy
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: who he looks at this room and he says, let's go,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: let's ride, let's let's make it happen. And so I'm
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: gonna start the parent interviews again in the spring, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: his pops is with the first one who has committed.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: So excited to see that because I think he is
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: just an absolute just he's an absolute stud. But like
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I said, it's just look at through here. You know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about all these guys.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's the list is long, right, We're gonna go
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: through each one of them. Though as we go through
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: one that I feel like is gonna be a lot
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: more Underrated's two guys, I think it's gonna be underrated,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and they're both from Carl Auer. I really think that
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Trene Washington's gonna surprise everybody. Sixty three is legitimate sixty three,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: and I think he's bigger than two five now. I
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: think he's gotten a lot bigger, at least with my
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: last all playing tight end here, I think he's gonna
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: be He's fast, he's strong. I think he's gonna shock people.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Marcus James as well, a six to three linebacker. Yeah,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: two twenty six three, Like he's legitimate. I remember going
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: to watch ex rob last year at Carl Albert during
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: his senior year Xavier Robinson and I saw Marcus James
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and I looked at him, like, who's that grown man
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: on the football field? Like he's got to be grown
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: asthma son. He's like, oh, that's Marcus. He's like, no,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: he's really that big. So he's listed at six three
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and a half. I think he's probably sixty four. But
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: imagine him at linebacker running around because he also played
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: tight end as well, and he was catching screen passes
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: and was gone. Marcus is gonna be fun to see
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: in bv's locker linebacker room, him and Zach Alley. Oh man,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Marcus is gonna be a good one. But at the
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: same time, there's a reason why a lot of like
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I said, the numbers are low. We got eighteen because
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and BV mentioned it in his press for today, we're
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: not gonna have the space now the twenty sixth class,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I do expect to be over twenty because at that
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: point you're gonna have dudes potentially starting to go or
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: leave early and go to the league. You're gonna see
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: growth at that point. But yeah, the class is smaller.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: But and as mentioned, didn't hear Tristan Haynes is gonna
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: be good cool? Did you notice this? All of our
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: corners are over six foot this year.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, talking about Malik guy, who I one hundred percent
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: think is going to be another Eli Bowen type of
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: a situation. Uh, he's guy's going to come in. He's
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: a baller. Obviously his uh the pedigrees there, brother of
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Michael Hawkins. If anybody did not know know at this point,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: but you know, the question over at Sooner Scoop said,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: you know, when he came in for the camp, he
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: had one of the he had one of the most
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: dominating football camps he's ever seen. You know, he's he's
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: another guy that is just an absolute, you know, technician
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: when it comes to football. So, I mean, he's he's
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: one that I was super excited to see come through
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: because you know, you're always gonna wonder, you know, with
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the quarterback situation here, you know, could he have looked
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: around right?
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah? He could. And and that's the good thing is
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: that with our with the cornerback situation, it appears that
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: he wants to be here and he's he's gonna he's
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be something, especially you know with his brother. You know,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: we have the questions if you know, everybody keeps asking
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Michael Hawkins gonna hit the portal, was it gonna be
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Jackson Arnold? Jackson Arnald hit the portal, but there was
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: a reason why Michael Hawkins. Uh, when Malik went hand
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and signed today, I was just like, all right, it
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: sounds like Hawk is still gonna Both Hawks are gonna
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: be here and we'll just have to wait and see,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: uh what happens from there. Now we've got to answer.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: We'll see what's next. But there's a lot of dudes
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: that stand out. We got both the guys from Arkansas.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: You get Marcus Wimberley as well as Marion Robinson. There
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: were concerns around a Marion you know, he went up
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: to Arkansas.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Game, especially with uh, with what Arkansas is doing Arkansas Arkansas,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I mean they have had a run the past couple
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: of weeks in recruiting. That is pretty crazy. They flipped
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: several guys. They got the four star quarterback, is it
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: is it? Yeah? Yes, so Nico's little brother instead of
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: going to U C. L A. Apparently they just want
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: to go go East Lloyd. Uh So both of those kids, uh,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: you know went to the SEC. I mean that's another
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: it's another big quarterback, you know, coming in the SEC.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, there's a haven't is there anybody we haven't
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: said anything about yet? Gilory Courton, Guillery, Guillory. You know
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: he's he's an absolute stud too. And you know, of
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: course this is uh. And for the naysay, yeah, this
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: is uh. This is signing day. Every single signing day
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: we go through and we look at the kids and
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: we say, you know, but I think that Preventables deserves
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of credibility when it comes
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: to the defensive side of the ball. The kids that
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: he's been bringing in since he's been here have been
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: dudes who've been balling out.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the younger players. We've got a lot of young
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: players to play. I mean, the only thing that we
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: need more of is uh consistency. Uh and in playing time,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: like mixing him in with veterans kind of hurts, but
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: you've got to see some some flashes. But Chad uh.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Chad Kramer asked the question, thanks for the five bucks.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Do you think, oh, you will look at a one
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: year rental at quarterback while Hawkins develops him? So who
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: will who would you target? It's gonna be Jeometerier. I'm
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: just gonna tell you now, he's the quarterback. Just Jet
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: That is the dude. Jeometerier is gonna be the dude.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: It makes the most sense. Our buckle Lee's Washington State
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: comes to Oklahoma. I expect his quarterback to follow. He's
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be the guy that will be your starting
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: quarterback next season. You might get two years out of
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: of them. Then Michael Hawkins will walk in. He'll be
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: your quarterback for about a year, maybe two. Then from
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: there the plan is j O'Neill to come in for
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: at least two, if not three years. So that's the
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: way it looks. Thank you again for the five. But
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: now there's also one player on here that not too
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: many people know about. I talked about him a little bit,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Jet new Now. Jet was recruited by Washington State three
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: star prospects about six two one seventy coop. But I
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: got bored and was like, you know what, let me
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: go watch him throw the ball. So I did, and
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna play some of his film right now for
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: y'all to see for yourself. Shy'all, watch this man throw it.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Let me see if he'll let me. It's yeah, it's going,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: but I just make it a little bit smaller. Ga.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: He's sick, not restarted, But watching him throw, yeah, I
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: was I was like, Okay, he he's got some really
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: good touch. His touch was a lot better than I expected.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Let's put it that way, And I see why he
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: was a commodity for O State went after him like
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: they did. He he's got some good touch. It's he's
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: maybe not the most physical specimen, but when he throws it,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: he puts it into some spots Like I watch him
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: just he throws it deep and he'll just launch it.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I was in shock that he was able to. I
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: was like, oh wow, that's kind of impressive. And they
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: were completed. They were like dimes.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: And when I watch quarterback film, I don't I don't
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: really care for slam passes, Like, yeah, that's important, it's very,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: very very important. But a lot of guys throw on
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: some slant passes. They throw a big screen, you know,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: like he runs in an offense that that our buckle,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of leans to. But when I'm looking
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: at these things, I'm watching the clip right now on
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: my other screen, is he's taken the snap on the
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: right hash line and throwing deep outs on the left
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the field on a rope.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: He's he's throwing to a point, And I think that
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: that's one of the frustrating things that you know, when
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: we go back to the LSU game, neus Meyer was,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: you know, how to play call. He's letting the ball
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: go when there's not a victory one between the receiver
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: and the defensive back right and he's let he's throwing
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: to a point and that's the goal. We're throwing here.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Somebody's supposed to be here there it is. I like
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: his footwork. It looks like he's got some you know,
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: really really good mechanics. Like you said, you know, he's
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: he's a little slide. He's around the one seventy mark,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: uh six ' two. He's going to get stronger, and
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: he's going to get bigger. He's going to get some
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: big boy weight on him. And and so when when
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: I see this kid, this, this guy reminds me of
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: a quarterback that coming out of high school, everybody knew
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: he was a really really good athlete, but nobody expected
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: to see out of him what we got out of him.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: And it was Sam Bradford. You know, watching Sammy be
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: in high school, there was never anything that was just like,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: you know, there was another anything like that. It was
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: always just like he just gets things done and I
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: still remember being in attendance against Miami. I believe that
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: was the first year that he and he comes out
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: and he's just diming downfield and we just torched Miami,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: and I thought, what, how did I not see this?
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean it's it's he's going to be
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: a guy who's going to come in, He's going to
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: sit there, and he's going to learn the offense. You know,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: his expectation in his thought process was I'm gonna be
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: playing Oklahoma State in the Big twelve, and now it's
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: now I'm at Oklahoma in the SEC.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: YEP.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: So this is the perfect type of quarterback that you
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: bring in and you say, hey, you sit there, let's
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: run through this and let's keep it going. Gus, don't
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: don't I mean, don't be surprised if at some point
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: this guy takes STAPs on owen Field and he wows
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of people. And it looks like he moves
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: pretty good too, so he can he can create you
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: excited about this? Plays in played in kind of nowhere, Utah,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: and you saw it with Awfu Lava. I mean, I
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: just don't think that there's as much coverage out there
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: in Utah Nevada places like that. For for the college
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: football guys, this is a guy who's probably a four
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: star high four star quarterback if he plays in Texas
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: or Florida or California. I mean, he's go watch the tape.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you can go watch the tape and
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: and and see what's going on out there, I mean,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: there's nothing that you're looking in this. I mean there's
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: several clips too, So it's not like he picked his
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: best five clips and was like, here's my short tape.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: You know, this is a the video that we're watching.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I here six minutes of tape, and most of it
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: is him just throwing it deep and across the middle.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the moment the dude catches the football next clip.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: So he's good. He's good. I'm very, very very happy
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: about this. And I promise you this. This guy has
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: success in Norman and there's gonna be a lot of
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: folks who are extremely pissed down in Stillwater.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and him playing out of Lee High. You know,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: like you said, he's he's in a basically BF Utah
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: kidding kidding, guys, kicking Utah. Don't kill me. But no,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think that I put it this way. As
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: much as I like him, I don't know how much
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: playing he's actually gonna do. While at the same time,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I'm excited that we got him. We're gonna need a
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: quarterback in room at least just a half.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you you got Jayden O'Neill coming in next year.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: And for everybody out there who's like, man, is Jaden
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: O'Neill still coming?
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I just got a text three with
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: his dad a couple of minutes ago. Don't worry about you.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: I would just say this. I would say this, if
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: you're worried about Jaden O'Neill leaving, I'll make a wager
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: with you. But uh, he's going to come in and compete.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: He's going to come in and he's gonna learn. He's
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: got a one year head start and he's going to
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: you know, his goal is to get on the field.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm. That's yeah, that's what Jadie wants to do.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: He wants to play ay sad, but he also knows
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: he wants to be developed. Like they're there. It's not
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: a situation where if you don't start me, I'm leaving.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: It's a I want to be I just want to
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to compete. If I had the opportunity
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: to compete, we goold, and he's gonna get that. We're
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: not gonna say you you can't play or you can't compete.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: We're gonna give him opportunity, and that's what he wants,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: So I'm not worried about him.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: The the other one before the other one, before we
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: get to mister Murray here is Alexander shild Night. A
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: lot of people were not super excited about shield Knight.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: He's a guy that, oh, you went in early, really
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: really focused on uh, really really focused on him. A
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: lot of people have the he looks like Ethan Downs
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: type of you know, comp coming in. The difference between
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: shield Knight and Downs is shield Knight is a guy
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: who's going to come in. They went to the same school,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: But Weatherford is where Downs is from.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: But yes, okay, so same same kind of areas out there. Yeah,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: but uh, but I fully believe this is I think
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: shield Knight is a guy who doesn't have to play
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: early like Downs did. Downs came in early because his
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: was just like a motor and focused guy, like that
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: was his effort effort and motor like that's what you
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: got out of Downs early. And I mean if Alexander
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: shield Knight ends up like alex Ethan Downs, I mean,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: hats off. We all had a you know, apology party
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: for Downs at one point. But you know, he's the
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: one that he turns into something like that. I'll be
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: excited to see that because I mean, he's he's one
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: that you know, I kind of wonder right now, but
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: but when it comes down to it, I mean he's
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: a guy that's I don't think he's going to be
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: a year one type of a guy. He's guy's going
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: to need to get in the strength conditioning program and
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: just develop, and he's going to have a motor. He's
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: going to have aggression, and he's going to probably have
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of communication with Ethan just just you know,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: just moving forward. So if I'm.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Correct, he got hurt this season, so I don't expect
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: him to play at all next year. Yeah, anyway, he'll be.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Right, he's gonna have to. But again, a big motor guy.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: So if you look through here, it's just there's there's
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: so many opportunities for uh, these guys to come in. Oh,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: you showed this year that if you're going to win
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: a job, it doesn't matter what what year you are,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: if it's freshman or if it's senior, come in and play.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: So I've got a I've got a good, good inclination
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: that we're going to see probably six or seven of
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: these guys this year minimum. These guys are gonna get
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: out there and they're gonna play. And a lot of
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: people I know Gabe, Gabe thinks that you know, some
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: of these guys like Trenee or Shield Night like they
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: could probably be you know, big ballers on a different
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: side of the ball. But there's there's options. It's flexibility
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: and child Knight Snoki, he said, we want to build it.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: You know, whatever guys we get from Oklahoma, we're going
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: to see a little bit more out of them and
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: keep that stuff going. So but we do have ourselves
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: a nice little super chat from mister Fir Murray.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah see it. I'm gonna go ahead respond to it.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Five dollars. Oh you an old conference top class amongst
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: the earlier year SEC currently tenth. Well realistic expectations for
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: next year beating Alabama Yeah again, Plasi throat again, that's
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: realistic expectations. There you go again. We talked about the
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: class portion of it. None of these we're we had
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: eighty one freshman sophomoars play this year, over eight thousand snaps.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Not many of these young dudes are gonna play.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: No, but I say this is.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Heavy.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Texas was at the top of the recruiting rankings
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: for several years in the Big twelve two and they
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: didn't do any winning. So you know it is there
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: is a fine tuning of talent coaching program. And I mean, furry,
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: do you think is Texas a better team than Alabama?
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Right now? I want to hear your opinion on that.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: If they play tomorrow in or round two of the playoffs,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: you're take in Texas or you take in Alabama. So
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: I mean I think that you know, I think that
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: you go for a lower class. It's by design. We
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: all knew that this was going to be it. You
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: lose you know, two receivers, three receivers, and you pull
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: in a quarterback. So we lost two of the guys,
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: we'd still be a twenty person class we have. I mean,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: we have a big, big, big, you know, collection of
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: younger talent out here. We're going to hit the portal hard,
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: the money is going to be going to be there,
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: and furry, here's the thing. I would pick Alabama over
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Texas this year.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: No, I think Texas beats them up. I think Texas
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: just pounds it down they thought. I think Texas went
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: this year. Uh there's too many ups and downs when
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: it comes to Bamo on now. But we ain't talk
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: about Bama. Here. We talking about Oklahoma's class. And I
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: love I love my guy Ferry. He'll call me probably
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: as soon as we're done to talk noise. But uh, now,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: the most important thing behind it, Like I said, we
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: talked about this class already that oh yeah, and I forgot.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: I even mention that that if Devin Mitchell stayed in
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: this class, Deviron Mitchell be another five star. But he,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: you know, reclassified. He's seventeen years old now he's going
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: on eighteen, so he's you know, playing a year earlier.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: But I digress. This class is smaller and not really
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: hotly ranked because we've got a lot of young dudes
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: that we're ready to play. Now. It's gonna take next year.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: This team would be The question is what the offense
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: is gonna look like? The offense looks better. Guess what
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: will be fine. The defense is gonna be better next year.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Like this defense finished, and I got a video on
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: putting together that I'll have into the week, probably to
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: just kind of you know, once conference championships are done,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about what the final numbers look like for
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: us and everything. Efficiency wise, top ten defense in the country.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: We finished up a lot better than even with the
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: LSU gang, a hell of a lot better, which is
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: crazy if you really think about it, even with all
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: the offensive misques good we finished very highly ranked offensively,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: defensively on all the metrics, very impressed. That's exactly what
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: we needed. That's all we need to do is that
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: we've established a defense. Now what we're gonna do is
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: established the offense too. That's what we gotta do next.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: So no, I'm I'm satisfied with a class like I'm
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: ready to see many choice with Elijah Thomas. But again,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: small class. This is when things are gonna get good.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Let's go look at the transfer portal coming up.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of players that we've we've
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: talked about portal wise, like Ques Pedaway is already in there.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: We've already Jackson Arnold's joined. I expect I expect about
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: ten more to go in the portal this weekend and
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: that'll be it. Michael asked a good question. Can j
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: A transfer to an SEC team and play. Yes, we
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: can also take an SEC player and they'll play next year.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Winter portal, there's no restrictions Spring portal. You gotta sit
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: a year, and they do that specifically because if you
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: go into this in the Winter portal, you can practice
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: for this in the spring with your team and play.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: But if you leave in the spring, they don't want
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: you just leaving and immediately going to go play for
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: our a competitor like immediately that way, if there's any
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: changes and stuff, no kick in so spring portal you
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: can't play. You can't transfer within the conference unless you
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: plan on sitting a year. So if a person gets
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: injured and they want to come play at this school
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: but they played on red shirt anyway makes sense. But
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: but when it comes to Winter portal, that's the reason
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: why you saw like Walter Nolan who went from Texas
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: A and M to Ole Miss and he played against
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: us in that game. You can do Winter, you can't
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: do Sprint.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: And Jay I also say this smaller class. I mean,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: that's you kind of got to think about it this
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: way too, is you're getting receivers back, you know you're
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: going to I mean when you took Marcus Harris, you
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: know there wasn't and Grays and Harris there. We didn't
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: know that there was gonna be six injured receivers. I mean,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: are all six coming back? I doubt that, but you're
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: gonna get You're gonna have to go to the portal
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: just to make sure that you got a body that
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: hasn't been injured. This whole entire year. We know is coming.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: We know Ferruk is coming back. Andrew, We'll see what
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: happens there. Burke's same thing. All those other guys, you know,
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: outside of Brennan. I mean, like we're going to see
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: about all those guys outside of Faruk. But that has
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: a big thing. Also, we're still yet to see what
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: happens with what happens with Don Williams, what happens with
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: our Mason Thomas. There's guys that could go but may
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: stick around for another year. I know. The last word
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: that I heard is Don Williams is expecting to return,
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: you know, leaning to returning to Oklahoma, maybe improve a
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: couple of pieces there, But again, it's I think this
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: next year, if you have another injury season like this
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: next year, it's something somebody needs to, you know, sacrifice
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: a chicken. But you know, you figure that with the offense,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: it's going to be it's going to be better. Therefore,
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: this team is going to be better because I fully
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: expect this defense to be humming again next year and
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: potentially better because you got guys like Reggie Powers, you
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: got guys like Bokanowski, Eli Bowen. All these guys are
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: going to have another year under the system. Jaydon Jackson
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: is going to have another year in strength and conditioning,
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: David Stone is going to have his step up, so
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: you get more depth in that situation. You lose Stutsman,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: you lose Bowen in a couple of other cats. But uh,
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: this team is going to be really really good on
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: defense again next year. And if you make it a
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: better offense, now we can go out and beat a
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: team that you beat with your crappy offense with a
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: better offense. So again, the smaller class is why you're
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: a little bit further down on there. But hey, it's
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's put up for shut up time, you know,
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: come August September next year, and and this we'll see
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: what We'll see what this team's built like, because there's
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: exactly is it Florida. Florida has got like five or
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: six dudes in the portal already, and a lot of
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: them are players. I've seen a lot of names in
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: the in the portal that have been pretty crazy. But
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: you know, staffing is also going to have a big
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: piece on that too. I expect we'll probably see a
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: little bit more staffing address. Staffs is going to be
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: probably addressed a little bit more here in the next
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: couple of days, I believe, and we'll we'll to hear
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: more about that. And that's going to be a big
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: piece too, because I think that conversation is already going on,
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: and so you can't tamper yet, but everybody's tampering. There's
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: everybody's tampering. I promise you, Jayden Jackson's phone is has
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: already been blowing up. I promise you. Our Mason Thomas's
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: phone has been blowing up. And so people are going
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: to want to see a couple of these defenders. And
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: it's been a long time since we've had people, you know,
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: tampering on our defense. But like you said, this has
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: been a good year on defense.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they're going to try. But the thing is,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: what I've heard is that these players are are ten
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: toes down for BB especially the defensive side. Offensively, they
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: got new allegiance. Not only have they got allegiance to
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: their you know, offensive staff, which is why BV said
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: in his prayers conference that he the plan is to
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: retain everybody. That don't mean that they won't get job
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: offers and go somewhere else. So you just gotta wait
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: and see what happens. We don't know what the staff
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: situation is gonna look like. And vv's not gonna say that, no,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: nobody's coming back, We're gonna fire everybody. During his press conference,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: I keep hearing that. I'm just like, why are people
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: upset that he said that they're gonna retain staff. That's
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: probably his plan. That don't mean that job offers ain't
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: gonna come up. That don't mean these guys like Joe
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: John Finley's first time really getting the call plays school
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: may hit him up and be like, hey, y'all got
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: a new OC. That's gonna call him plays. You interested
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: in coming through and calling ours. We like the way
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: you did it. We know that you just needed some
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: additional stuff. Pull up. Let's go and guess what he
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: may say. All right, I think I'm gonna go ahead
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: and go call plays here. There's gonna y'all. Nobody knows
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in that capacity. So I know that
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: we had a lot of coaches that the NFL have
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: been trying to poach. We had that happened last summer.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: Don't think it ain't gonna happen again. This is the
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: perfect time to go try to get dues, to pull
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: them into the NFL. Like, hey, man saw that season. Man,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: it's a tough year. You reconsider my offer to come
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: work here in the NFL.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: Mm hm mm hmmm.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: They don't. They don't do it. Some team's gonna be like, hey,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: we fired all a hell staff, So what'd you think?
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: And BV did speak some truth Emma Jones, DeMarco Murray.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Though these both of these guys, they haven't had bad
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: years in the past. They're now running back rotations. You
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: can say what you want to say about that, but
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we were a top you know,
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: a top offense last year with a defense that you
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: know couldn't uh, you know, couldn't really help us out
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: like we did this year. So, I mean, this team
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: and these guys, this this offensive staff, It's not like
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: they've had five straight years of just doll crap. This
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: has just been a complete, you know, just one off
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: because of all the injuries and everything. And again, what
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: what do you fix first?
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Right exactly, And there's a lot of things that we've
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: got to start working on. In my boy truth hit
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: us with the question. I love it, thank you so much.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: So where do you guys think you focus on in
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: the transfer portal? I keep hearing on line, but that
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: seems unlikely. Maybe a really good one or two. When
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: me be honest, this is why I think the focal
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: points will be in the portal, and I'm gonna do
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: it in rank. I think at the top of the
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: list it's probably wide receiver and it ain't that well quarterback,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: I mean quarterbacks again, that's the given one. I don't
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: even count that as one because that we all know
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: that we need to add depth there. You never know, howkins,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going there and win it, y'all. I know is
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: whoever comes in, they're gonna be competing for the job.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: It's not a job that's gonna be handed to you.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: But I digress quarterback, Well, so yeah, we'll go to
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: the top quarterback right behind that is most likely going
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: to be wide receiver. Just because of health. We've been
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: dealt with a whole bunch of injuries. You're probably going
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: to add one or two to make sure people are healthy.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: And it depending on who decides to come back and
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: who doesn't. We'll see what that looks like. But having
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: a healthy room for a quarterback to throw to, it's
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: gonna be important. You still got the young guys and
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: they've learned and they're gonna get much better in Ben's
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: and Coach r Buckle's offense and his schemes in the
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: way he's gonna scheme them open, so they're gonna get better.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: But she's still gonna need to add some veteran presents
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: there you from there. I think O line will probably follow,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: and I think you go get another defensive lineman and
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: that's really it. Maybe a corner, maybe one or two
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: shut down corners to add, because to mean daz leads,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta look at all the seniors too.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: You're losing. You're losing four edges. You're losing one corner
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: because I think can I still has eligibility. Yeah he does.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Billy's gone, Stutsman's gone. You're not gonna need another linebacker
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: because Marcus James kind of gives you a replacement to Danny,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: and then you have all those young dudes right behind there.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: You have four young dudes at line linebacker that that's
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: ready to play right now, with two more right behind
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: them potentially ready to play. Actually three more that's about there.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: So I technically five dudes that are ready to play.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: From Cannon, Kip, Kobe, Oma Sego and then Lewis Carter.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: There's your five linebackers right there. The sign mccula is
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: also on that list. Kendall Dobe should be back, should
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: be healthy, and should be just as good. You're probably
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: at another corner to go with because Woody and des
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: Malone are gone, Billy Bowman's gone, that's Peyton Bowen spot
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: him and and if Robert Spears Jennings Lea. You start
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: to see young guys in Reggie Powers, Bolanowski as well
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: as Hardy, So you've got a loan. You've got a
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: lot of pieces there. If anything, you probably get one
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: or two defensive linement, one edge, one d tackle. That
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: way you have another big body. That's really it.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean it's kind of a tiny tiny
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: pivot here, M real quick.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Before you pivot. Yeah, God bucks Berry Murray players with
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: a ten tells down me roster, lim y'all do the
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: mock roster so you can see what y'all see. Got
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: tea transferport invents probably do that in the future, working
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: on that in a bit.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because transfer portal we I mean, we'll.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Open to this weekend, so we don't know.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, So I was going this is you've got
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: seven or eight teams in the SEC or and I
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: have new quarterbacks next year. Yep, unless h you know,
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: Diego Pavia gets a you know, seventh year or whatever. Yeah,
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: but you got Texas is going to be going with Arch.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: So what does that look like with a full season?
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: You know, you've got Texas A and M's going to
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: go full board with Red. Nico is going to be
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: a Tennessee. There's whispers about Sellers wanting to transfer out
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: of South Carolina, So if that happens, I don't count
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: that one, but that could be big. You've got Dart
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: probably leaving Ole, miss Yeah, Missouri, I'm gonna be starting
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: a new kid. Van Buren's probably starting in Mississippi State,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: so full year there. Uh nes Meyer's gonna come back
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: for l s u. Uh. You probably gonna see a
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: new quarterback at Kentucky. I know that. The only I
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: think that uh what's his name was the only was
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: right above Jackson Arnold. As far as like quarterback rating,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: Florida's gonna be going with Lagway, Auburn's gonna need a
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: new quarterback, Arkansas and then Bama. So I mean, you've
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: got lots of quarterback turnover next year, and there's a
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: lot of teams that are You're you're prepping for the future,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: You're trying to win a national championship. But at the
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: same time, you know, uh rotate with the with the
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: uh with the the atmosphere of this of this game.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna it's gonna be uh, it's gonna be
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: a different year next year. And I fully expect you
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: know a lot of these teams. You see them, You
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: see the Auburn collective absolutely just balling out and spending
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: you know, ungodly amount of money to get guys to
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: to to do the flip. They're gonna do the same
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: thing in the transfer portal. It's I'm curious to see.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: Do you call Old Missus season a success or a failure?
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: Ohio State ole miss or a failure? Both of those
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: are two teams that went out and spent galore in
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: the transfer portal? Does that does that absolutely? I mean
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: does that does that change how these teams do this?
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: Do you load up on the super high end profile
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: guys and because I mean, let's be honest, I mean
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: the Old miss the season is a failure this year.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: You know they're they're right now, none of them are
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: too happy. Ohio State, same situation. I think all those
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: things they you know, they start they start with, you know,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: team chemistry and camaraderie, and you know, nothing's an issue
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: to it till it is. So uh, there's gonna be
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: a there's gonna be a really good uh you know
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: this year, look at this year. I don't think very
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: many people predicted a lot of stuff that happened this year,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna see more of it next year.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: That's the beauty of college football. Baby, it's going to
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: be like that, and that's exactly what it's gonna be like.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm here for it. I'm one hundred percent here
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: for it. So yeah, no, we've got a lot of change.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: We got a lot of stuff to consider. People asking
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: my players coming back. I don't know. We don't know
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: who's gonna come back yet. At what it sounds like
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: is that we'll probably see more turnover on offense than defense.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: But is that a bad thing? I mean, I mean
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: we saw with the offense game is last season. But
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping a lot of those healthy dudes come back
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: and we're able to they were to go form and
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: keep going forward. But I don't know defense wise though,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: I heard a lot of the dudes are ten toes down,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: ready to go, and this staff is bought in on them,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: know why, but the product they put on the field,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: I will be too. If anything, you probably need a
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: veteran hunter. No, design is not a senior, so yeah,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: he is eligible to come back. Yes, yeah, Uh he's
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: a junior, so he's got one more year left. So
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: the question is gonna be who ends up being processed,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: who ends up coming and playing a lot of options
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: don't know, but we won't know until Sunday. That's when
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: the portal blow opens up. So let me see twenty
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: twenty four transfer portal. Let me see the exact dates.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Le's go to the NCAAA site. Yeah really, NCAA, you're
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: gonna do me like that. You're not gonna open the document. Uh,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: Monday December ninth. Yeah, so on December twenty eighth, so
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: we are exactly five days away from the Now you
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: gonna hear about all these people hitting the portal, but
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: officially everything opens up then. So yeah, we have no
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: clue what it's gonna look like yet. We'll see what happens,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: see what happens. But in last words, coop for the class,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: about the class, about everything, how are you feeling?
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: You know, I think it's safe to say these these
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: these players have bought into what the program looks like.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: You know, the conversation around the injuries happening on offense
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: this year and just the stuff that went through. I
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: think that when all comes down to it, I truly
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: do believe that the injuries made the glaring issues more glaring.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: We knew this offensive line was gonna be bad this year.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: We knew it wasn't gonna be good. We just didn't
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: know it was gonna be this bad. We didn't know
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: about the injuries. And so this team gets a chance,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: it's going to reset. And I mean I think that
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: you have those conversations with a lot of these people
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: that you know, you just point out like he, so,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: what can you say about this? Well, I mean they
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: had trouble throwing the ball with six receivers down, Like
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: that's an easy answer for kids who have bought into
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: this and so this was their process it. You know,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: I feel a little bit for it for them. You know,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: they're making a lot more money than I am, but
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: you know, the the process being over for a lot
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: of these kids. You know, just congratulations to everybody who
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: signed everywhere, you know, over guys who I don't expect.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: Is there even like a January signing day or is
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: that even a thing anymore?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, the actual signing day is still January. I've
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: seen some players say that they're not going to sign now,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: They're not signing this today. They're going to do theirs
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: DAN so they'll do their financial agreements in February. So
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: it's still this. It ain't nothing that's you know, all
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: that big of a deal anymore, but it still exists.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so, I mean that's the the glamor of
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: that one is just kind of over. You know, I
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: think it's gonna get kind of lost in the playoffs
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: this year. But uh, anyway, just congratulations these guys, and
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: you know this this this season is now you go
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: to Bowl practices. I expect our buckle to beuh in
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: watch and assess mode over the next couple of weeks
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: having conversations with people. You know, it's all this stuff's
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: going to light up, All the rumors are gonna start swirling,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: and all the the offers are going to be pitched,
• 1:06:39

• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: to see everybody full on in on a lot of
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: these guys. But you know, I'm excited. This is this
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: has been this has been a year with recruiting that
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: we haven't had a lot of drama. It was pretty
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: much wrapped up, you know months ago. You know, the
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: last guys that we were waiting on, you know, they
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: made their choices and you just kind of sat pat
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: and watch what was going on. Uh, you know, the
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: last second flip by the quarterbacks really the biggest drama
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: that we've had. But uh, yeah it now it's time
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: to get to work, go finish out your year. We'll
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: try to get a list for everybody on who the
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: early and rollies are, because I know that's a big
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: thing that's gonna be a big deal about. Also, is
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: you look at a guy like e p L. EPL
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: did not come in until the summer, and I think
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: that if he was here in the winter, he probably
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: started a few more games this year. He probably played
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: in a few more games this year. But uh, there's
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of there's a lot of football still to
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: be played for this season, and it's just get back
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: and see back, relax and watch it, watch it, watch
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: it ride.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see watch you ride. Hey, Mike, thank you
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: to the comment. What are your thoughts on Jayden Rowe?
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, to be honest, I'm not sure why
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: he's playing, but obviously something to do with practice. Haven't
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: seen or heard me think about him definitive, So I'm
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: truly curious to see if he can make his way
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: on the field. I mean, I know Eli Bowen found
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: a way to get on there and he's been playing,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: so I'm not sure with Jaden, hopefully he's healthy and
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: maybe we see him, you know, carve out an opportunity
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: to play too. He's still young, so that's the good thing. Yeah,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: but think that it. Think let me see him looking
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: through some of the questions here before we bounce out.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: It beenter about an hour's been good hanging out.
