0:47
ESPN'STPI, the chances that the Sooners can make it to the s Natty.
0:52
We'll talk about some of the top SEC games because Coop has got some moth
0:56
the hottest takes out there. And then pg's gonna tell y'all all about recruiting

1:07
and we're gonna make the magic happen, So hit us up on the
1:08

1:19
Four three zero nine zero one one nine oh six PG. Cool Happy.
1:26
Uh Wednesday, what's going on, gentlemen? How are we doing?
1:30
It's beat Texas Day? Not Wednesday, really is what it is because the
1:34
softball girls out kicking, but it's with five to one right now and five
1:38
to one bottom of the fourth coming up. Yeah, and they just popped
1:42
up an interesting stat. Ou is eighty one and three when t R A.
1:46
Jennings hits a home run, shut the front door eighty one and three.
1:49
I mean just just that stat alone, Like that's eighty four times that
1:53
she's eighty four games that she's hit a home run. Like that's just it
1:57
just kind of blows my mind. So, uh, this is this team
2:00
is just uh, this must want to be to feel like if you're Alabama
2:04
in like about five years ago, right, just constant dynasty, like you're
2:07
winning everything. So PG of course to other people where they can find you.
2:10
Yeah, y'all can find me here on YouTube the PG Show. You
2:14
know, we're talking all things recruiting over there. So we're hitting a special
2:17
visits season. This is getting exciting. Oh yeah, this is when it's
2:21
gonna get fun. Yeah, it's gonna get very much fun. So I'm
2:27
actually kind of excited at what is going on here. I'm pretty excited about
2:31
what it looks like this weekend. We've got visits this weekend. I dropped
2:35
a video about three main names PG. I know you think you mentioned that
2:38
there's potentially a fourth that's gonna come through this weekend. It's of significance possibly
2:45
no, uh, because we know we know Alfalava's gonna be in town.
2:47
We got Kaid, the Big d N from the Dakotas, and uh Son
2:57
brom Is the three that I know, but they're maybe one more special person
3:00
on there. I know you're getting some unofficials in with your officials, but
3:07
Machi Williams is going to be in next week. That's the new offer that
3:09
went out on the defensive line. Yeah, that's nature I presume was to
3:13
replace Cole Braidler potily. Yes, it's Cole Winaheaden committed to Stanford and it
3:17
sounds like education was very Schooling was the most important thing to them, similar
3:23
to what the rumors are around Babolola right now. But we'll see how that
3:30
works out because other things have gone down. So now let's go and talk
3:32
about list. Cool. Yeah, I know how we'd like to do list.
3:38
I want to talk about the list. I want to talk about list.
3:40
It just just for your mentality, for your your mental well being,
3:45
please sooner fans. Everybody has nothing to talk about right now because they don't
3:50
have Oklahoma softball and Oklahoma baseball and will we have a basketball program and three
3:55
hundred million dollars facilities, So they don't have that, so they come up
3:59
with the list. And if you are a dude that has I don't know
4:02
ever even you know written for on three or Rivals or ESPN, you now
4:09
get the free on permission to use your brain to come up with the list,
4:13
and let's just go with. These lists are about as well vetted as
4:17
like the A people. It's just it's just it's just not a very good
4:21
deal. So if you see somebody's lists and they look like absolute dog crap,
4:25
look at who wrote it. If you never heard of the dude,
4:27
do some googling if you still haven't heard of him dismiss. Obviously Cooping very
4:34
happy with these lists. But let's go ahead and jump into this real quick.
4:36
Because ESPN's FPI came out. The Football Power Index, which the preseason
4:45
rankings, is the toughest to really get in on, or really want to
4:48
get on, because the way they do it is they take the last two
4:53
seasons and then they take your returning production and the people that's returned from those
4:57
last two seasons, jumble it out again and spit out an analytics number that
5:01
tells you where you think of team ranks. I did a video and that
5:04
of course, it launched earlier this morning, and to be honest, I
5:10
was a little shocked that Oklahoma was ranked as high as they are, so
5:15
Oklahoma actually comes out in ten. So I'm gonna pull this up so you
5:18
guys can enjoy the visuals of it. Let me find it, because I
5:23
actually just lost it on accident. Is this our FPI? Nope, that
5:28
is our returning production, but this is the FPI. So let me go
5:31
ahead and I'm gonna share my screen in a second. That way you all
5:36
can see what this looks like because I guess what jumped out to me on
5:46
this is uh, yep, it is you. You're the one that I
5:50
want to look at, and here it is. I've cut a color coded
5:57
it because you know, it only made sense to put it all in CD
5:59
colors. You all can see it a little bit better. But as far
6:01
as FBI goes, George is leading the way, Texas is right behind at
6:05
three, Alabama five, and Oklahoma's number eight. So ESPN's numbers, the
6:12
twenty thousand simulations and everything really likes what were our sooners is looking right now
6:17
with a projected win total of at least eight wins next season, with BAM
6:21
at nine, Texas and Georgia both at ten wins. If everything goes directly
6:28
in the in the actual direction of the favorites and all of that jazz so
6:36
PG seeing this, seeing Oklahoma at this number and everybody else what jumped out
6:43
to you, what jumps out, what makes sense and what doesn't make sense.
6:47
Texas doesn't make sense to me, And I don't understand where everybody's getting
6:51
these projections and where everybody believes Texas is going to be this great team because
6:56
I understand they've got all this, all these returning players that used to be
7:00
five stars, you know, five star wide receivers, five star corners,
7:04
five star safeties, but they haven't done anything there. They don't have the
7:08
production yet for some reasons, somehow, we're pulling all these numbers out of
7:15
the air to make Texas a top contending team in the SEC, and everybody's
7:18
got them potentially making the playoffs again. Like, I just don't see it.
7:24
That one jumps out to me. I think Missouri's a little lower than
7:29
I would have thought. I actually probably would have Missouri above Alabama. Ooh,
7:35
that's pretty spicy. Cool. What do you think about that? Like,
7:39
because to me, that's it's a little spicy there. So this is
7:46
all returning productivity from last year, correct? Yeah, So this is their
7:49
rankings that they created based up pulling the returning production. Yes, and so
7:56
there around this, I mean it's obviously Cami, like, I feel great
8:00
about Oklahoma because most of the production that we're bringing back, these are guys
8:03
that I've actually played together, and you sprinkle in one or two additional guys
8:09
in here, and that is so much easier to incorporate than you know,
8:15
the mercenary activities like you know, bringing in people from you know, in
8:18
mass mass quantities. So I mean, I feel great about this, and
8:24
you got to see because I mean some of these, some of the production
8:26
just across the board. This is Oklahoma, Tennessee, A and M whatever
8:31
these are. You know, you always look at it as you know,
8:33
when guys are are not supposed to be the dude and they can just be
8:39
free to be productive. And then what happens when guys get elevated into now
8:45
you need to be a leader and now you need to be the bell cow
8:46
on the offensive line, on in the linebacking corps or something like that.
8:50
So I mean these are always great to see just who's returning, just because
8:56
you've got a good example, you know, good feel to where if you're
8:58
returning a lot less and you catch those guys, you know, a lot
9:01
less production, you catch those people earlier in the season, that's a more
9:03
favorable matchup. Then you know later in the season when they've got even more
9:09
production, you know, together underneath their belts. So this looks great for
9:13
Oklahoma. I mean, this is a top four, you know, and
9:16
you take a look at another list which is like the toughness of schedule,
9:20
and we went from like the toughest schedule to like the eighth toughest schedule in
9:24
the SEC or something like that, you know, recently. So it's just
9:28
absolutely crazy. And Lemon, you're right, it's everybody. We're talking about
9:31
football, and this might be one of the only times in the world we're
9:33
talking about football and we kind of care about it less than what's in the
9:37
other screen. So I'm i'm I look over every once in a while to
9:43
see what's going on here at Oklahoma's five to one, bottom of the fourth,
9:46
two outs, and yeah, we're we're well, we'll be able to
9:52
Maxwell is about to get you know, get the batter out and then we'll
9:56
go into the top of the fit. So, yeah, this is getting
9:58
a little interesting over there. But no, Coop, you're right the so
10:01
I've switched it out. This is the returning production numbers, and this is
10:05
what jumped out to me when I saw this, and PG this kind of
10:07
goes with your theory around Texas, right. So at the beginning of winter,
10:13
Texas was rated about twenty fifth in returning production, with thirty on offense
10:18
thirty other on defense. After the portal went down. They dropped to thirty
10:24
six with twenty six. On offense, they went up because you know,
10:28
bringing in some wide receivers, but they dropped down to sixty. They dropped.
10:33
They dropped twenty two spots on the defensive side of returning production because it
10:37
seems like they they lost too much. And that's what comes in that secondary
10:41
right, they losa all those secondary starters. Now, if you have Texas
10:45
fan, they'll tey that the next guys up are better. Ye, they're
10:50
the ones that they wanted to play anyway. They didn't think Brooks was gonna
10:54
be any good this year anyway. They wanted them gone. So yeah,
11:00
that's where when they got him though, I'll tell you that exactly. But
11:05
they dropped, Tennessee dropped, and Tennessee dropped a lot in returning production.
11:09
Right, they went from ninety four to one hundred and eight, which I
11:11
think Tennessee's gonna have a decent, a solid season. But breaking in an
11:18
entire roughly looks like a new team that terrifies me. The saving grace for
11:24
us and this is the only reason why I've hyped up Oklahoma. Yes,
11:26
we're at forty four percent offensive return because it's all offensive line in our quarterback.
11:33
We're thirty defense now, Like right, we went from seventy nine percent
11:37
defensive production returning to now eighty six including your transfers. That's three third in
11:41
the country. We're bringing back a lot of players, guys. And because
11:46
we're bringing back a lot of players on the defensive side, with the coach
11:48
that emphasizes defense, that's gonna help a lot. That's gonna help it.
11:54
That's gonna help a lot, and take a lot of pressure off the back
11:58
of Jackson On in the offense. And even Seth Latreille because just last thing,
12:05
like we was talking with Jake over on Hall of Fame, you know,
12:09
one of the newest guys Alabama fan played ball at Washington. He we
12:13
were kind of talking about it and I pointed out that Oklahoma's bringing back all
12:18
the defensive stuff on the defensive coach, and he's like, Yeah, that's
12:20
gonna be the one thing that's gonna carry out this year, and that's the
12:22
thing that carries teams in the SEC sometimes. I mean we saw that with
12:26
George on the first title. Right, everybody questioned if Statsan Bennett wasn't even
12:30
any good because their defense was so stupid and ridiculous. But then he showed
12:33
up in a NASH Championship game. He's like, oh okay, this walk
12:37
on camp play, and then he had the ridiculous second season. I wonder
12:41
if Oklahoma can pull that same thing, bringing in all his production and having
12:43
a coach that has done a good job against SEC teams with his defense.
12:48
Am I crazy? It's I mean, I don't think that the defense will
12:52
carry this team. I think the defense will highlight this team. And I
12:56
think the offense is gonna wow a lot of people people because, like I
13:01
said, learning about the offensive line potential problems now, and it's a concern
13:09
like this isn't We're not walking into you know, a Joe Moore Award winning
13:13
offensive line. But these we have very good, very quality pieces. We've
13:20
got a lot of skill talent. So I do I do. I think
13:22
it's going to be a defense that is going to be probably the best one
13:24
that we've seen beginning to end for quite a long time. I mean probably
13:30
since early two thousands. And this offense, I mean, it's probably going
13:35
to have the chance to be better than what we saw this year from a
13:37
production standpoint, you know, by the end of the year. So the
13:41
Tennessee game is going to be fun because it's early. So what do they
13:46
look like against US early? Because I mean Nico versus Jackson. I mean
13:52
I remember back at you know, Elite eleven wondering like, these two guys
13:54
are going to show up against each other at some point and this is going
13:58
to be a freaking firefight, and you know, these are the games that
14:01
you want to see. I also think that the offensive production in the SEC
14:05
is going to be a little bit lower than it has been here recently,
14:07
so that looks good for a stronger defense. Also, yeah, PG,
14:11
how are you feeling about that? Because that was that I'm in that same
14:16
similar boat here with Coop on that it's but I still believe, even though
14:22
I agree with you, Coop, I still believe the defense is what's going
14:24
to carry this team. And it's not that it's not a slight to what
14:26
Jackson Donald is. It's just it's we've got to break them in right.
14:30
And like you said, the good thing is is Tennessee's early, they'll be
14:33
in the same boat. I think we win that one handily, and then
14:37
you start to see that Jackson donald trajectory later in the season, right,
14:41
He's gonna have his four games of warm up to Tennessee, go to Auburn,
14:45
hostile environment, and I think that that's where it makes him into the
14:48
man that he's probably gonna be. That's probably the most critical game of Jackson
14:50
Donald's career is going to be traveling to Auburn, because I think that that's
14:54
the game that will recognize what he is and what he's not going to be.
14:58
What you think PG, No, I think you're right the defense is
15:01
going to carry this team this year, but I I think it's not.
15:07
I don't. I think people are gonna take it as the offense won't be
15:09
that good. No, I think the offense is going to be very good.
15:11
In fact, I'm actually really high on the offensive line. I think
15:15
these starters are gonna go out there and they're going to impress in the first
15:18
two SEC games. And the reason why I say the first two SEC games
15:20
is because I think, oh, you could put out a second string offensive
15:24
line against their non conference schedule and it look decent. But I think when
15:28
they get into the Tennessee and Auburn games, like people are gonna realize Okay,
15:31
this offensive line is better than we thought, and I think a lot
15:33
of that's going to be anchored through the addition of Branson Hickman. Now,
15:37
what if the second string offensive line look like I have no idea. I'm
15:41
actually in really high hopes that Spencer Brown turns into something really good for us,
15:46
but can be that anchor for the second string, right, I would
15:50
I would like to see Tarquin in that start. I think it's going to
15:54
be going to be I would like to be Brown, yeah, And I
15:58
would like to see Brown kind of anchored that second shrink. But I think
16:00
the offense will be really good. But I think this defense is going to
16:03
be a anywhere between top twenty to top thirty defense this year. I think
16:07
they're gonna be in that range. I think they're gonna take that next step
16:11
to an lye and I think that a lot of that's because you're returning Billy
16:14
Bowman, who is one of the best safeties, if not the best safety
16:17
in the country. You've got Danny Stutsman, who we all know the dude
16:22
was kind of flirting with first round, right, You're getting him back to
16:25
the lineback position. And then next year those guys that were behind him in
16:29
that linebacker room, they're just gonna be all take that next level so they
16:30
get to learn from him for another year. It feels like you're moving pieces
16:34
into the right spot. Hence when you see Deson McCollough moving to the will,
16:38
right, he's moving to will. He's played and I know then in
16:42
practice he was a little bit at will. I think they had him a
16:45
little bit at Mike as will because he has the capabilities he can do both.
16:51
And I just like what we've heard around who's gonna play Cheetah and things
16:53
like that, Like I just I overall think this defense is going to take
16:57
that elite step and it's going to I mean, it's gonna carry the team.
17:03
Like there's going to be games where I think this defense goes in and
17:06
they're gonna shut down a team this season that they I don't think people expected
17:08
them to go in there and shut down. And that's and that's kind of
17:11
my point with it, is that in saying and carrying it. And I
17:15
think the other thing to add to that is if this defense is on the
17:19
similar trajectory of what a Brent Vinible's defense has done the last three stops he's
17:23
had. When he was here at Oklahoma, we saw a jump in the
17:27
any advanced metrics from the fifties to the thirties to the tens. Right.
17:30
You saw that there. You saw that when he went to Clemson, same
17:33
thing. Sixties, seventies and an efficiencies and everything moved up into the thirties,
17:38
twenties and tens, and then he moved up into the top tens.
17:41
And he was basically holding that for like the next two or three years.
17:44
Right, Oklahoma's doing that exact same move. You see that same trend going.
17:48
They still need some certain pieces in place. Hence, while you go
17:51
get a Dominic Williams, because you still gotta have a couple of those,
17:53
you know, you know, big war daddies in the middle to disrupt things.
17:59
But I've I think the one thing, and Hank mentioned this in the
18:02
comments, which I think is probably the best comment, as as someone else
18:06
mentioned as well, this offensive line is gonna go against the defensive line every
18:08
day in practice. They're probably Jackson Arnold's probably gonna see the toughest defense he's
18:15
gonna see this entire season in practice. And we all know that the way
18:19
that they've preventable. Zawes practice is that he throws everything at his quarterbacks,
18:25
which is probably gonna do nothing but sharpen him up, throw him in that
18:27
fire. His iron's gonna be prepared because in the SEC, they're gonna throw
18:33
everything at you. But if he's seeing the stuff that the most threatening,
18:37
he's gonna possibly see what makes us think that he won't be prepared again once
18:44
we get to Auburn. That's the game to me that tells me what Jackson
18:48
Arnold's gonna be. It's gonna be all right, It's it's yeah, you
18:53
know, I'm starting to kind of jump on that game a little bit more.
18:56
I think Auburn has. Auburn's always been that team in the SEC that,
19:00
like Auburn could be absolute anybody at any point and loose to anybody at
19:06
any point. Like Auburn is just that team, and they are that Kansas
19:10
State and that's probably going to be the parallel that we see from them.
19:14
And you know what, another thing that I don't think we talked about it
19:18
much is these teams they don't want Oklahoma and Texas running in here and getting
19:25
any footing. They don't want that. Now that I think the saving grace.
19:30
We are going to go from being the hunted in the Big twelve to
19:33
being somebody who's you know, we're going to get a little shoulder check on
19:37
the on the baseline, like Caitlyn Clark. Yeah, I work Kitlyn Clark
19:41
in here. But that's what everybody's going to be trying to do to us,
19:45
is going to try to just knock us off of our spot. But
19:48
I have a feeling that one of the reasons why I think that when we
19:52
play the SEC teams and I'm not talking about LSU in the National Championship with
19:55
one of the greatest teams of all time in their backyard, but just in
19:57
a normal bowl game, normal matchup, we show out pretty well against because
20:03
they haven't seen us, they haven't been able to do that. They haven't
20:06
seen, you know, how we've done things. And so that's what's great
20:10
about this entire year is who the hell knows what anybody's predictions are going to
20:15
look like? Like, why are we saying, like, how do we
20:18
not know that UCLA won't win the Big ten? Uh? You know how,
20:22
I mean, They're not gonna but I mean, but but I'm just
20:26
saying it's like you you saw success from A and M and Missouri when they
20:30
first came to the SEC, and then they went silent. Yeah, so
20:33
that makes me feel pretty confident about confident with our team. The company in
20:40
two is that Georgia is really the only incumbent that has a truly tenured coach
20:45
that you should really fear because Bama ain't got saved no more so Brian Kelly
20:51
still knew. I mean this is only his third year there, just like
20:52
we're preventables. Yeah, yeah, it's kind of where youre at. But
20:56
ghe pg No. I was just gonna say, uh, the only thing
21:00
that I would say to that with the Missouri and Texas A and M thing
21:03
when they came into the conferences at that time, the SEC was playing different
21:07
style ball. I think the SEC is playing a similar style of ball to
21:11
what Oklahoma and Texas are doing now. So I think it'll be easier for
21:15
them to adjust to us coming into the conference unless Seth Latrelle just decides to
21:19
throw out some crazy, wacky offense that college football has never seen before.
21:26
But I mean, I mean, I do think you know we're gonna have
21:29
a top three or four defensive line in this in this SEC this year,
21:33
I think Alabama still might be a smidge better than Oklahoma, as I do
21:37
like a lot of the talent they have there. But I mean, everybody
21:41
else on your schedule, I don't think there's anybody rifle in yours. Yeah,
21:45
I agree, And I think to Bor is still a very good coach.
21:48
We've seen him win everywhere he's gone. I mean, he took Washington
21:51
to the Natty back to back ten win seasons after taking over the job.
21:55
There after they're going four to eighth the year before. You know, even
21:57
though he did bring in his quarterback that had years of experience, he did
22:02
very well with everything there and he made it work. Now we got to
22:04
see if he can repeat that in Alabama. I think he's gonna have.
22:07
Of course, he's gonna He's gonna make a bowl game, and that's no
22:10
problem. I don't know about playoff shit. I still need to see what
22:14
his entire staff does as a unit before I can give him that. But
22:18
I can definitely see them do. Bama's got the talent and he knows how
22:23
to coach talent, So I think that they'll be just fine long term with
22:26
him. Right, But to your point, PG everybody does play a similar
22:34
type style, but also defense is still pretty key, right like your Georgia's
22:44
shut down your Ole miss and your Missouri high powered offenses rather quickly, and
22:49
those games don't go anywhere in the way that those teams think they should.
22:53
They go out there and they shut him down. We're still all chasing Kirby
22:56
at this point. Kirby is the team that's being chased, and we're chasing
23:00
the way that he plays defense, which is Allah Nick saban so Ken,
23:07
Oklahoma and Texas walking and seek success. I do believe that because I don't
23:11
think everybody in the secs as good as everybody trying to hypes them up to
23:14
be. They still have. It's always been Alabama Georgia with a sprinkle of
23:22
L s U when they decide they want to show up, and then randomly
23:26
you'll get Auburn pop up and in Florida whenever they decide to not hire three
23:30
bad coaches in a row, they get a guy that's willing to let everybody
23:34
fight and practice. Then they do good. That's about it. I like.
23:40
I like the strategy of just when you're when you're facing one of the
23:44
toughest conference schedules you've ever seen and your your your your kids are fighting in
23:48
practice and you're on the hot seat for the season starts. Yeah, that's
23:52
it's it's it's it's a bolt strategy. Yeah. And this is the one
23:56
thing. Leon makes a good point here that cult a shift from a heavy
24:00
d saving team to a heavy old the board behind frame. That's gonna be
24:04
interesting to see exactly how it works. Now. A good thing that the
24:08
board did was he retained as much staff from Saban's defense as possible, and
24:15
that was good. Now they lost the young the young guy that they wanted
24:18
to be. They always forget his name, No, not player, coach.
24:22
He went to Georgia and they were thinking that Caleb Downs was gonna follo
24:26
him to Georgia. And if they would have did that, oh my god,
24:27
I would have just said just hand them. Oh you're talking about starts
24:33
with a starts with a team. Oh. Tre Darius Robinson, Yes,
24:40
Darius Robinson. I always forget to Darius Robinson. I always think Travarius Jackson,
24:44
the quarterback room quarterback for the Vikings. Every time it just Traveria.
24:48
Yeah, rock coach rob was was t rob was literally the one piece that
24:55
if he could have hung on to him. But he's he's a oh gosh,
25:02
former Florida coach. That's now, that's the defensive coordinator there at Georgia.
25:07
Oh what is his name? I'm just having these moments. Yeah,
25:14
it's you know what you're talking about. Yeah, I know you're talking about
25:18
too case not gonna as Schumann. But the other one will must Champ there,
25:22
it is must Champ. T Rob is a mush Champ guy. Yeah,
25:32
yeah, yeah, yeah, t Rob is a must Champ guy.
25:33
So but anyway, when you look at these lists, man, it's gonna
25:37
be interest. Now. This is one that that jumped out so on that
25:40
FPI list that didn't go through that that we didn't stop on is the chances
25:44
to reach the college football playoffs. And here's your top ten. I want
25:49
to get your thoughts on, who do y'all think can seriously actually do this?
25:56
And by the way, while you're doing that, we got six to
26:00
one to two down bottom of the fifth. Little horns down for everybody because
26:04
we don't penalize you here for expressing your god given right. Look at Strazik,
26:12
beautiful, Look at that? All right, look at this. Here's
26:15
your best chance to reach costwall playoffs. You know, of course, you
26:21
know the interesting one is, of course Texas sixty eight percent, Notre Dame
26:23
at fifty nine percent. I'm sorry, sure, Penn's State at fifty nine
26:34
eight. It's like out It's like it's like Michigan don't even exist anymore in
26:37
the Big ten, which is funny because you've got Oregon, Ohio State,
26:41
Penn State, and then the rest then independent Notre Dame, and then then
26:45
the rest is all SEC teams, with Missouri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee basically
26:48
tying at thirty seven percent. Oklahoma was technically like thirty six point eight,
26:52
Tennessee's thirty six point two, Missouri's at thirty seven point one, but they
26:57
kind of round them up to the thirties. Having number who shouldn't be here
27:07
Texas, Notre Dame, and State. I'd just say, I'd say,
27:11
the only one on that list that don't need to be there is Texas.
27:15
Everybody else on that list, I can I'm just saying Notre Dame. Last
27:19
year, I mean, they couldn't stop the nosebleed, and I just I
27:25
just don't see. But they're gonna be a lot better this year with this
27:27
will be year three, year three? Yeah, is this his third year
27:33
because he's just this would be h Kelly's third, so yeah, this would
27:37
be his And and you gotta remember they got a quarterback now out there too,
27:41
but they had a quarterback this past year too, Yeah, the same
27:47
Hartman heart. I mean Hartman was one, I mean with forty years of
27:52
experience, yes, and he was Yeah, but I mean it's the Hartman
27:59
though, I'm not I went from nine to four to ten and three though,
28:00
Like you can't discount that part of it, right, Like you can't
28:04
discount that, and I don't. And I mean their losses were to who
28:08
Ohio State, Louisville was Louisville was really good, Clemson and that's it be
28:15
everybody else, and you know, I will say Clemson were not. I
28:22
mean those are bad losses. Yeah, the Clemson was bad. Louisville was
28:27
a lot better. And I think Jeff Brown is doing some good stuff over
28:32
there. But yeah, when I look at this list personally, I don't
28:37
see a path of Penn State. I do Penn State there. Here's their
28:44
Markeee games this year. They switched coaches this offseason, right, No,
28:49
I think this is the year that James Franklin can lose all of his big
28:53
games and people are not going to be on him because think about it,
28:56
a nine in three or attend and two Penn State team can get to the
29:00
Culture Ball Playoffs. They got at West Virginia, which they're gonna win that
29:03
game. I don't think they're gonna struggle with Illinois, even though Illinois I
29:07
think is on the up and up at SC do you really think Lincoln Riley
29:14
is going to beat a solid defense like Penn State. Like Penn State reminds
29:18
me of the Kansas State to Lincoln Riley. I think they'll win that game.
29:22
At Wisconsin. Don't think they're gonna struggle there. There's more talented.
29:26
Their toughest games this year Ohio State at home, Washington at home. That's
29:30
it. That's it. Like they could just lose those two games and they're
29:34
getting the Culture Ball Playoffs. Okay, they don't have Nebraska on their schedule,
29:41
they don't have Michigan, they don't have Oregon USC. Like I said,
29:45
I don't think they're gonna that good. And then Notre Dame. I
29:52
think their toughest game on their schedule is probably at Texas A and M,
29:56
and then their second toughest would be Florida State at home. Other than that,
30:00
they got Louisville and at USC. So I'm looking at this Penn State
30:03
schedule. I'm gonna be honest, I'm looking at this. Yeah. There,
30:10
it truly is an argument for them. Now. I don't want to
30:17
ride off West Virginia because Neil Brown had a really good year last year.
30:21
I me anyway, what nine and four? Yes, But I want you
30:25
to understand too, they have Drew is a lark. Yeah, this is
30:30
his second this is his second year in football, but it's gonna be his
30:33
second year as a starter. This is this is my favorite thing is that
30:37
you had to kind of figure out the quarterback's name. I can't ever get
30:41
it right. I can't ever get it right. But no, like this
30:44
is his second year as a starter. I think we're gonna see him take
30:45
a leap. Like I think people were really impressed with what he did last
30:48
season in his like first true seasons because we said the same thing about the
30:57
last kid, and we said it's same thing about the last kid, and
31:02
ever Hackenberg, every single Penn State guy, it was always a guy who
31:07
outplayed his talent as a freshman and then he was like an Oklahoma defensive back
31:11
you know a couple of years ago, where you just got worse every single
31:15
year that you played. And I just, I just I would have to
31:18
see I would have to see improvement from a season long deal, multiple years
31:22
in a row before I'd ever believe in a Penn State quarterback, because I
31:25
think Penn State is just one of those teams that that is always a quarterback
31:30
away from competition, and they just cannot get a guy that actually was a
31:34
trace mc sorely. I mean he he, he couldn't throw the football.
31:41
They got these guys who can, you know, do pretty well when you're
31:42
playing Indiana or or Purdue or Maryland's, but then when you actually have to
31:48
go up against an actual defense who can I don't know, set the edge
31:51
and tackle with their linebackers? Mix Orley could never throw the ball. And
31:55
it's just just I mean, rinsewash repeat. Yeah. Now I will say
31:59
with this, let me add this add to the let me let me throw
32:01
a little bit of a fuel on top of this for you real quick,
32:04
PG and what what what you know? Coop said Sean Clifford was also that
32:08
quarterback that they said that just you know, give him that next year,
32:10
he's gonna get over that hump, right. So you know, Clifford threw
32:15
for three thousand yards in twenty twenty one. That year they went seven and
32:19
six. You know that was post COVID. They were still figuring things out,
32:21
right, Give them a little grace next season, definite, They've got
32:24
everything going for him. Next year, Clifford threw for twenty eight hundred yards.
32:30
They had two running backs and almost ran four thousand in Singleton and Allen.
32:37
But he threw for twenty eight hundred yards. Next year, Drew Aller's
32:39
gonna come in with allur is gonna be that guy, right, he coming.
32:43
He threw for twenty six one hundred yards like if for some reason they
32:46
never can get those numbers up ever. But I don't really don't think they've
32:52
ever really had weapons though, like Julian and Fleming for as a wide receiver
32:55
for the quarterbacks be throwing too, You sure? I mean, yeah,
33:00
they had Dante Cephis, but I don't think I mean was at Penn State,
33:07
right or am I thinking somebody else? Wasn't it at Penn State actually
33:09
I know. I think he transferred to Penn State and then he left again.
33:13
Yeah, Like they've got elite line play on the defensive an offensive side
33:20
of the ball, I always do. That's going to win them games.
33:22
And if Drew Aller can put it together, which I think he can,
33:25
especially with what they have on the offensive or on the offensive side of the
33:30
ball, with weapons of the wide receiver, I think like ten and two,
33:34
nine and three gets you into the playoffs is a Big ten team.
33:37
Unless Nebraska goes eleven and one, then I think you're in trouble. And
33:43
I know Cooper just looking at me like that. But Cooper, I'm telling
33:45
you go look at Nebraska. Cooper, he's been high on Nebraska going at
33:50
that record, I don't. I mean, they're not playing the entire Big
33:53
tim playing nobody. They're playing no, they're still paying nobody, So like
34:00
they're playing nobody, Cooper. It's here. Here's Nebraska schedule, UTEP,
34:05
Colorado, Northern Iowa, Illinois, Perdue, Rutgers, Indiana, finally a
34:10
game at Ohio State, UCLA, USC Wisconsin Iowa. Except for there's one
34:16
thing that you forget to mention what team is on every single week of that
34:21
schedule. Nebraska. Hey, listen, that's the team last year that you
34:30
know if you were just like listen, they got a quarterback. They're winning
34:32
some games. They got quarterbacks now like they've got people that could throw a
34:37
ball. I don't know, Dylan Ryola's look good. I'm not saying he's
34:40
not looking good. But he's also a freshman. And I don't trust freshmen.
34:45
Listen, in that schedule. I mean, you can trust the freshman
34:50
in that schedule, I don't know. Give them two losses and they're still
34:53
an attendant to Nebraska's making the playoffs. And I promise you this, every
34:57
single team that has a chance to playing them in the playoff that first that
35:01
they're going to be down for that. Oh well yeah, I mean who
35:06
wouldn't they. If Oklahoma gets Penn State in round one of the playoffs,
35:10
I'll be there. I will be there. Or Nebraska. I see four
35:15
losses on this schedule. I mean they could have more losses. But like,
35:21
I mean, is USC really that much better than Nebraska? I mean
35:27
no, but I think that. I mean that's it's like, But the
35:30
thing is, here's my deal. I look at that schedule and go all
35:32
of those teams outside of Ohio State, Nebraska I think is on the same
35:37
level of talent on I can see that. No, that's something I can
35:40
just I can agree with you so like I can, but like I know
35:45
what a Matt Rule defense is going to look. Like we've seen it in
35:49
two years at Nebraska, Like it's been really good, like you, Okay,
35:53
so now they've got an offense too, Now they have pieces for an
35:58
offense. You're giving them six before they've been successful, Like, yeah,
36:02
Nebraska hasn't had any Nebraska has doesn't have a cornerstone where they can say because
36:07
of this, I feel good about this team, whereas like you can,
36:10
you can do that with a lot of other these teams where you could say,
36:14
like listen, when Missouri returns their offense, their offense was really good
36:16
or their defense was you know, did enough, and so maybe they're going
36:21
to take a step at least like there's a pathway Like Nebraska, You're just
36:24
I mean, you're you're saying you threw a turn and a top hat and
36:28
you're pulling out a Lexus and I just don't. I just can't make those
36:30
jumps. I get it, I get it. I get what you're saying,
36:34
Like if they were if they were like six and five this year,
36:37
pg it, you know, and like they was down to the wire and
36:40
it looks like they were emerging, I'd be in. But I just it's
36:45
just these teams that are traditionally always just where they're at. I mean,
36:50
Penn State, you take what was it the COVID year that they actually I
36:52
think the COVID year is the only reas why James Franklin still has a job
36:55
and they they bawled out in the COVID year and they haven't done anything since.
37:01
But he has been like this almost every single year to where it's like,
37:06
oh, Penn State this year. I called him. I called Penn
37:07
State the playoff last year, and so I just, you know, at
37:10
that point, I was like, Okay, I'm I'm done. I'm not
37:15
going to do this ever again. No, I get it. I listen
37:19
if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, But like I do think Nebraska has a
37:23
really really good shot here this year to be one of the most improved teams.
37:28
But beside the point, because I don't see Nebraska on this, I
37:31
agree with that. I went off I kind of went off base a little
37:36
bit. It's interesting that they say this is the best chance to reach college
37:40
football playoffs because we know the top four seeds are going to be conference champions,
37:46
and there's two SEC teams and two Big Ten teams in the top four.
37:51
So if I looked at this list that they have now Georgia Oregon,
37:55
I agree with that at one or two, they're probably going to be the
37:59
top two seeds. I would say at number three you'd put Florida State,
38:04
and then at number four you'd have to put a Big Twelve team, So
38:07
I'm gonna select you taught them out of the Big twelve, so that'd probably
38:08
be your top four. I'll take Texas completely out of that list, but
38:13
everybody else I can pretty much agree with and see potentially making a playoff.
38:17
I think, honestly, I think Tennessee is a little high right now,
38:22
just with all of the players that they lost on both sides of the ball.
38:27
That's a lot to replace, so we've got to see what they look
38:29
like, right so I think that they're too high. I do think Penn
38:31
State's too high because I think Penn State's gonna do what they typically do,
38:34
lose games. They're not supposed to, so I'm not sold on them.
38:38
Notre Dame does have basically a cupcake schedule. They should be able to Missouri
38:44
still got questions about them, but their schedule is quite favorable as well.
38:51
But Oregon, I'm surprised Oregon's that low. I think Oregon is gonna cook
38:57
that entire conference personally. Oh yeah, by the way, score seven to
39:00
one, we are headed to the what We're heading to the top of the
39:06
seventh and beat These games should be no. Bottom of the six, bottom
39:10
of the Yeah, Bob of the his own players into the transfer portal with
39:15
the Oklahoma softball football or with the Okahma softball team. Yeah, it feels
39:20
like it. Yeah, Hey, I think Kensey Hansen's got that real m
39:23
ob thump. Yeah. They cooking right now. Out to the girls.
39:28
Man, they are eating right now. And and and I will say this,
39:34
I wish Kobe and Kinsey the absolute best. And if those two get
39:39
married and have children, we've got at least one five star coming down the
39:44
bike because that that kid will be a freak athlete. Jada b They're gonna
39:52
they're gonna give birth to freaking spider man. Like that's all there is to
39:54
it. They're gonna have some athletes, right, great coaching, great parents,
40:00
great athletes. It's gonna be stupid. But anyway, Oklahoma's cooking Texas
40:05
right now. So yeah, I got to get a little bit of softball
40:06
in here because because this is to watch a lot and I just don't know
40:10
it. This will get your chat riled up. Do you think we hear
40:13
Mike White tonight talk about home field advantage? Of course we are. He's
40:17
gonna complain about it. Everybody seems to complain about it. But it's funny
40:22
because everybody complains about it. I always ask, so you do the same
40:25
thing for Creighton and Nebraska when it comes to the the College World Series being
40:32
in Omaha every year, But nobody ever responds like it's because Nebraska and Creton
40:37
aren't any good. You and what I bring up when they bring mixed up?
40:42
I say, where's Oklahoma stayed at? I mean stays up the street
40:45
around the corner too. No, you're right, where's Oklahoma state at?
40:49
Every year they're on the cant we see? You think that's thing PG that
40:52
extra thirty minutes takes away to home field? Yeah, you know what,
40:57
You're right it takes away at the home field. It makes it hard to
41:00
score. Yep, yeah, it makes it a lot tighter. So let
41:06
me ask you this, going back over here, if we look at uh
41:09
I mean, is there a team out there right now that that you think
41:14
nobody's talking about, nobody's bringing up, nobody's saying anything about that, could
41:17
actually, you know, make some noise that we're not. I mean,
41:22
they can be in the you know, fifteen to twenty five range or whatever.
41:24
Who I mean, were you yeah, oh yeah, and there it's
41:31
a group of five team. Do you guys want to take a guess of
41:32
who it is? Uh? Utsa Tulsa. Tulane had a decent portal class,
41:43
I'm telling you, and they've been decent. They also got to coaching
41:46
staff. They also lost coaching staff, lost their Pratt, the entire coaching
41:51
staff. I'm not buy in on them until I see what they do because
41:57
I mean, remember that coaches at Houston. So I mean, technically,
42:00
you know we're gonna see Fritz anyway, because Fritz is at Houston nowt He
42:02
did the exact same thing at Houston. So he brought a whole bunch of
42:06
Tulane kids had a really solid class come in, sent a lot of players
42:09
out as well. I totally get you on the they had. They had
42:15
a solid transfer class in. I don't know if they got the other pieces
42:20
outside of those transfers though, all because most of them left. Okay,
42:27
I'll think I'll give them a year and then we'll see what the coach can
42:30
put together. But yeah, the good thing is is, like you said,
42:36
they've had some solid teams and he didn't have to break that down to
42:37
the studs. That's the one good thing for him going into Tulane. It's
42:42
the foundation. Isn't that bad. But I still got to see him put
42:46
it all together as a coach. What do you guys think about us?
42:51
Because I mean you dsay they cleaned up in the portal, but also they've
42:57
been a really solid team like in football, like every year, like they're
43:01
a solid team. Like do you think they could take that next step in
43:06
that leap? I think does Texas have them? Again? Yes, Texas
43:10
has got them. Texas got them. I mean the last time we thought
43:15
Texas was going to struggle with utsay, they put it down on them pretty
43:19
rough and and I mean, so we'll see after that. I mean the
43:24
game that they I mean, the game that I'm talking about is was it
43:28
two years ago or was it this past year? But I mean like it
43:30
was everybody's like, UTSA is going to get Texas watch out, and I
43:35
mean they played them tough for about a quarter and a half, but they
43:37
just didn't have the athletes and they kept giving the ball to Texas, you
43:40
know, in the red zone. And so I mean that's that's the piece
43:45
where I go with like, UTSA, you're cleaning up, but you're getting
43:49
guys that couldn't start at D one schools or you know, Power five schools,
43:52
and so if you can't start at power five schools, I don't know
43:55
how you take a lot of C minus listers and then put them to go
44:00
eat all the guys that they couldn't beat out in practice. So that's my
44:04
only thing with UTSA, because I think that their skill set is great.
44:07
I think they can get you in a bowl game. I think that if
44:09
you get them on a you know game before a big, you know,
44:14
big conference game, you know they can get you right there. But I
44:16
just don't I mean, I just don't know if I can see it for
44:20
the whole season. And standing up, and that's going to be I think
44:22
one thing that's really really tough is we're going to get more Cinderella's and they're
44:25
gonna get curve stumps as soon as they get to the playoffs. And I
44:29
think that because I still don't think the playoffs open up the teams who can
44:35
win a national championship. They just open up the teams who can play for
44:37
one. I still think the teams that can win are probably still about the
44:40
same. Yeah, I mean, I think it opens up for the teams
44:45
that can win, because like last year, I thought there were six teams
44:46
that could win the national championship. So like, I think it opens up
44:51
your pool a little bit bigger because I do think anywhere any given year there
44:54
could be four to six teams any given year. But like I think some
44:59
teams are hindered by injuries. So like the twenty twenty Oklahoma team, I
45:05
think that team probably could have competed for a national championship. They had too
45:07
many losses on their schedule to get up there and compete, but into playoffs
45:12
they would have had the opportunity to So then we wouldn't be having this conversation
45:15
and we had four guys suspended for hijacking the dude, so like, yeah,
45:22
I mean that usually hurts. Yeah, that's that's why we didn't make
45:27
that year was not so much injuries but stupidity. And the reason why I
45:31
asked the question is, Jay, you brought up this team earlier, so
45:36
it's still a little bit. My thunder is I think West Virginia is a
45:38
team that nobody is paying attention to, nobody's talking about, and nobody is
45:43
going to be looking for early in the season. And so I think that
45:46
we're gonna open up and I don't even have their schedule that maybe I'll look
45:50
at their schedule here real quick, but you know they're gonna, they're gonna
45:53
they're gonna do some stuff. And teams that don't haven't traveled out there to
45:59
West Virginia. Yeah, and you know, now you get it in your
46:01
first trip out to West Virginia, you get see the crazies. It could
46:05
be really good. Oh I hear we have a ted riuff mentioned in the
46:09
comments. Wait, you think West Virginia could win the Big twelve? Yeah?
46:15
Over Utah, Yeah, over Kansas State, yep, yeah, over
46:22
Arizona's high powered offense. Yeah, yeah, Okay, so Arizona lost their
46:27
coaching. That's a bold take that I think. I think that's a bold
46:30
take. Okay, So why I might be bolder than my eleven and one
46:34
Nebraska give me not. I mean West Virginia. I mean, they played
46:38
good ball this past year and they're on a trajectory. So when the stuff
46:42
what you're talking about with Nebraska and Penn State like this is a I mean,
46:47
West Virginia already has something set up and is already pressing, and they
46:52
are a few skills and I think the bless your heart, Big Twelve is
46:55
I don't even I'm not even impressed with Utah at this point. And I
47:00
think Kanna State's going to be dangerous. But you've got that freshman quarterback,
47:04
You've got a new running back, You've got I mean, you've got a
47:07
lot. But I mean, I think West Virginia is one and again they
47:09
have a shot at winning the Big Twelve. They don't. I mean,
47:13
who are they scared of? They are not scared of Arizona, and they
47:16
sure as are ain't scared of Utah. No, every single incumbent is going
47:21
to think that these guys are going to come in and get whooped this year,
47:23
like Cincinnati did and like you know, UCF did, so I mean,
47:28
I just I fully believe that West Virginia is going to be a really
47:31
really good team. Now, could they end up eight and four, Yeah,
47:35
sure, that's that's probably That's probably it. But I just think this
47:37
is a team that I don't think that anybody's talking about that has pieces and
47:42
a trajectory. And you know, now if they go you know, five
47:46
and six this year, I think Homeboy gets fired. And then I was
47:50
wrong, and like PG said, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Yeah,
47:55
I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I just think there's a lot of better
47:58
teams than the Big twelve. That's I kind of like, I go West
48:00
Virginia. That's interesting. I mean, West Virginia is bringing back a lot
48:04
of people, and I know, but like Kansas is going to be returning
48:07
Jalen Daniels and if he's out there on the field, I think Kansas is
48:10
he gonna be on the field. Though, if he's on the field,
48:13
I think you will you say that he hasn't been out there the last two
48:16
years until because there were was talk, there was talks that he could have
48:22
played last season and people weren't understanding why he wasn't playing, And I think
48:27
it was one because Bean was playing well for you, uh, but too
48:30
it's like you could bring him back, and you can bring him back in
48:32
the year where Oklahoma and Texas aren't going to be in this conference and you
48:36
have a better chance of winning it. So I think they kind of held
48:39
him out for a whole year to get him one hundred percent healthy so they
48:43
could try to make a run at this thing this year. I mean,
48:45
I mean, it's not a bad strategy. So West Virginia is thirty second
48:49
in returning production. They're bringing they're bringing back their number fourteen in the offense,
48:52
seventy nine percent defense, eighty six at fifty, but there's sixty percent
48:58
total in returning production, the third second in the country. So they're bringing
49:00
back nine and four last year and they went nine and four, and their
49:05
offense is really the heavy thing for Neil Brown revamp of the defense. Got
49:08
a lot of stuff to look at. But this is my problem I have
49:10
with Utah as well as Kansas as their quarterbacks. I have not seen them
49:14
play a full season in a few years, and I got to see them
49:16
be healthy, and history has shown us once you get hurt, you're probably
49:22
gonna get hurt a few more times every single season. We saw it with
49:25
Dylan Gabriel, Like Dylan got hurt his shoulder at UCF. He came here
49:30
first year here, got injured. I mean, it's a dirty hit,
49:32
but he was hurt for two games or at least game, yeah, game
49:36
and a half. And then last season he came out, he was banged
49:40
up, so that it seems to be traditioned Quinn. We ain't seen Quinn
49:47
finishing the entire play a full season yet. That's why only questions I have
49:51
about Texas and I laugh with you know, my Texas buddies. That's kind
49:53
of the big thing with them is that, Yeah, I can see the
49:57
pushback on it because we gotta see him play a full season. Everybody is
50:00
still, you know, throwing all their chips in on Arch, thinking Arch
50:02
is going to be that replacement. But I gotta see a full season of
50:06
health out of that quarterback spot. No, No, I get what you're
50:08
saying, IgE, what you're saying. I just think talent wise, there's
50:13
better teams than West Virginia, and I just think, like Oklahoma State.
50:17
At this point, I'm tired of saying that they're gonna be terrible because I
50:23
guess Mike Gundhy just he doesn't have that being terrible gene in him. He
50:28
just has the gene to not be able to win the big games. He
50:30
ain't clutch. Yeah, but they ain't terrible. Scoring two, it's two
50:37
runs for Texas there. Now it's now seven to three. Texas is making
50:43
a little bit of a run here in the bottom of the sixth. Yeah,
50:45
we're about to see Nicole may come in. Yeah, I got to
50:49
bring in the closer, or or we could see kirston deal because Kirsten I
50:53
think we see I think we see deal. I think because she won't play
50:58
tomorrow so to be made tomorrow. So the Yeah, so let me let
51:04
me rewind here West Virginia. We get to game one of the year,
51:07
Penn State, West Virginia at West Virginia, So we get to settle some
51:12
one of these two debates pretty quickly. And then they've got Albany at home
51:16
at pitt Kansas at home. So there you go get we get that,
51:21
and you know again with Jen Daniels, like he's I mean, that's a
51:29
guy that if I'm a coaching staff, I'm doing everything to not play him
51:34
because I don't want my whole team to bank on this dude again and it
51:37
just lead to nothing. But this schedule for West Virginia is pretty pretty dirty
51:45
and it could be rough because they got Kansas a week five, then at
51:50
Oklahoma State, Iowa stayed at home, Kansas State at home, at Arizona
51:53
at Cincinnati, Baylor at home, UCF at home, and then at Texas
51:58
Tech to end the year. So, I mean they've got a they've got
52:00
a pretty salty schedule, you know, just with the where they're playing who
52:06
And so I mean if they throw out another nine and four, you know,
52:10
ten and three type of season, that's that's gonna be pretty that's gonna
52:15
be pretty pretty impressive. Yeah, I mean that. I mean, that'll
52:16
just put West Virginia back on the map again. And then, uh,
52:23
West Virginia, Man, I'd hate to be West Virginia. You do all
52:25
that work to get to the Big Twelve and the conference kind of turns back
52:30
into conferences. A yeah, oh they're right. Do I feel like Big
52:35
East your Big East football again or whatnot? All right, I'm in the
52:38
conversation. It starts to get them in the conversation now to like, yeah,
52:42
playoffs and stuff. It is. Everybody knows that the Big twelve is
52:45
power fives. The Big twelve is the new power four power four Yes,
52:50
yes, power four power power four plus. I guess i'd actually call it
52:54
the power two plus because let's be honest. Wait, does she just wait
52:59
that she's out of the baseline. If she went outside the second line,
53:04
she's out. Yeah, she stopped that the second line. They didn't call
53:06
it. Yeah, they called her safe. Anyways, they'll challenge it.
53:12
Does she step on the line on the line, can see uh uh umpire,
53:21
but she's like, she's hey, here you go. Oh she didn't
53:25
get the tag though. Yeah, but if you run outside that line,
53:30
you're outside the base path and they can call you. She stepped inside the
53:35
line and then she jumped on the other one. Yes, I don't know.
53:37
That's gonna be a close call because I think half of her foot was
53:43
off, half of it was on. I'm not sure on the rule and
53:46
that softball, it's uh, it's challenge. So if that's it, if
53:57
she steps if the rule is that she stepped out out the line and she's
53:59
out. But yeah, so yeah, here we go. So so wrap
54:06
up, we're recruiting PG. I know we got some big players. We
54:09
got we got we got a good start to OV season, right, this
54:13
is a big weekend for your OV season. Yeah, you got the camps
54:16
going on starting tomorrow and that's through It's tomorrow. And what's the dates?
54:22
Okay, so your high school camps are June sixth, eighth, thirteenth,
54:27
eighteenth, and twentieth. Those are the high school camps, so freshman,
54:30
true freshman all the way up to seniors. And then you're gonna have youth
54:34
camps fourth, eleventh, and twenty fourth, So anybody ninth eighth grade below.
54:39
So like we had a twenty thirty kid on campus on June fourth,
54:44
like a kid that's actually being looked at by other schools. Twenty thirty.
54:49
Right, And so as far as the ov's go, You've got k from
54:54
North Dakota the edge. You've got Darius Afalava from Utah, the interior offensive
55:05
lineman, he's still come into town. And then to sign Brom, which
55:10
Brom's Oregon. I mean, how much as I would love to have that
55:14
talented tight end, it just doesn't feel like our tight end recruits trust that
55:20
we're gonna actually use them since they haven't been used in the last like what
55:23
two years since Mark. So I think Brame is the reason why it's such
55:31
a big weekend because I think he's kind of like your last hope at tight
55:36
end. I know there are some people that are hopeful we're gonna flip Nate
55:42
late in the season, but I think it would take us having Jake six
55:45
hundred, seven hundred yards this season. I think it's possibility. I mean
55:50
it's possibility, but I think it's gonna take a lot to get Nate to
55:52
really flip. So I'm not counting on that. I'm not counting on that.
55:55
I look at Brame and I say, like, Oregon is a c
56:00
cut leader, but Oklahoma's not out of this because he hasn't committed yet,
56:04
and he's had plenty of opportunities to shut it down with the organ and he
56:07
hasn't done it. And he's showed up to and he showed up to Oklahoma
56:10
a couple of times just out of the blue, off off the books.
56:15
So yeah, I'm I think there's a chance. I think you got to
56:22
hit it out of the park, But I think there's a chance. And
56:24
he's committing on the twenty nine, So he's committing the twenty ninth of this
56:28
month, right after his organ is right after his organ visit. Correct,
56:35
But that's the thing, like Oklahoma could really go out here. And they
56:37
called that held on the call stupid. Yeah, so, uh, let
56:43
me need to get this one out, Get this one outcause I hope you
56:47
don't have to make a pitching change in the setting, but you might have
56:50
to. No, I I think brame uh if you can somehow turn the
56:55
tides in the brain recruitment, which you at one point, Oklahoma was a
56:59
leader, So I don't think it's out of the question to say that they
57:01
can do that. I this this is a just if you that's the only
57:07
thing you do this weekend. That's a success right there. But then you
57:09
look at Darius Afalava. Oklahoma has been super intentional with this kid since they
57:15
offered him. Uh, and that's kind of what has gotten Oklahoma into the
57:20
mix. Kind of being a late team is just the intentionality in this recruitment,
57:23
making sure that you know, hey, like we're not throwing an offer
57:28
out to you because we've lost other guys, like, we actually think you're
57:31
someone that could really play for us and make an impact. So Darius Afalava
57:38
is the other one you look at because if you land him, and then
57:40
you only land one of the five stars. Like your offensive line class is
57:45
solid, Like you maybe pick up one of your pwo's as a scholarship guy
57:51
just to get one more dude in that room. But I mean, this
57:54
is a really solid week because you've got just a few recruits on the official
57:58
visits, and you can be super intentional with what you want to do with
58:00
those guys. And I would imagine Kevin Sperry would probably be up here this
58:05
weekend. Oh he will, Yeah, I don't know, he'll be working
58:08
at the camps. Yeah. I'm kind of curious to see if Kay tries
58:14
to shut things down because he had Wisconsin. He just came from Wisconsin's past
58:17
weekend, Oklahoma's this weekend, but he hasn't scheduled anything with Kansas State or
58:23
with who else is on that final four? It was Wisconsin, Oklahoma,
58:29
Kansas State. And who was the fourth team? Hold a second, let
58:35
me pull it up. Was it wiscon No, it was Wisconsin, Oklahoma,
58:39
Kansas State, and there's a fourth team Nebraska, Nebraska, Nebraska.
58:44
That's what it is. He hasn't scheduled anything with Nebraska or Kansas State yet.
58:47
I'm wondering if he actually does. I don't think so from what I
58:52
understand, Like he gets along really well with Miguel Chavis, like kind of
58:59
like a spitting image of what Miguel Chavis wants. But like the problem is,
59:04
it's really hard to get information out of this kid, Like he's like
59:08
a grand bricks pretty much. Yeah, with all your say word of mouth,
59:14
but I mean the word of mouth in the hearsay is that this is
59:17
the weekend, Like this is probably the weekend. He shuts it down.
59:21
Uh. But I've kind of went back and forth on this because Oklahoma sits
59:24
in such a good spot for some of these defensive ends like Smith or Rogbo,
59:29
who every time you talk to him about Oklahoma he says it feels like
59:32
home, like it there, I could see myself there. It's home.
59:36
Then you look at Isaiah Gibson, the current USC commit, like, oh,
59:42
you stupid high on that list. Like I did not realize how good
59:45
of a spot Oklahoma was until after he committed USC. Until the other day.
59:50
So I look at it and I go, man, like, if
59:54
you take Kde Petchak, and then you get like you're only gonna take one
59:59
of or boat or gipsitter, you gotta take both that they want to hop
1:00:01
on board. Like I would say, it's getting to that point where it's
1:00:06
like I don't know what to do. I don't know what you do because
1:00:08
well, these guys, I can answer that there you probably got to take
1:00:13
off. If you could get all three, you take off three. Because
1:00:15
think about it, well, here's yeah that. I mean you can have
1:00:19
Nixon play tighty in or ed you know, he can go by the both
1:00:22
sides of the battle too. So I mean it's five, but think about
1:00:23
it. You got Ethan Down's leave, and Tray s Ford's gone, you
1:00:25
got Cave Woolard, It's gone. That's three already right there. Right,
1:00:30
that's three veterans out the door. And so now you're you're running with o
1:00:37
Koye why gilmour U PJ as well as our Mason Thomas. I mean that's
1:00:45
really your four edges that you will be really running with. And Wine,
1:00:52
yeah you still got yeah Wine as well, yeah Taylor Wine. So from
1:00:55
there you kind of need to add some additional buy for the long haul in
1:01:01
the sec right young ones. So I think that if you if your opportunity
1:01:07
to take five in this class and they're good, you go for it.
1:01:09
But now I don't think we will. I think you get Nixon, I
1:01:13
think that k is probably one that comes through, and I think you get
1:01:17
a Robo. I think that's probably the three you get. Grandville's a pipe
1:01:22
dream. I mean I heard that he still has a liking for Oklahoma,
1:01:25
but I think he's a pipe dream. The localist too. It's just too
1:01:30
much on the local piece with that feels like a Hick situation, but not
1:01:36
as at the finish line. So yeah, i'd say those three, and
1:01:43
then defensive tackle is gonna be a big one with Cole Breeler being off the
1:01:45
list and Christian Evans had a really good time at You n C and see
1:01:52
and I gotta just to follow up with him. But I think it was
1:01:57
kind of expected that you and C was going to kind of jump out in
1:02:00
front as the first OV. Yeah, it makes sense, And the thing
1:02:05
is with him, it seems like it's gonna take us all the way through.
1:02:10
It's gonna it's gonna probably take us all the way through all of his
1:02:14
ov's. Yeah, Like he's like, he's a pretty smart kid. He's
1:02:17
gonna do his dude due diligence. Yeah, and Oklahoma doesn't have a bad
1:02:22
business program No, there's business programs pretty good. Yeah. So I mean
1:02:27
that's where he wants to go. That's gonna help the Dakota Tarol. Have
1:02:35
you been here? Have you heard anything about him? Because this is a
1:02:38
kid who I continue to kind of wonder what, oh he's gonna do?
1:02:43
Is this a preferred walk on type of scenario, because I mean it's six
1:02:45
nine, two ten, two twenty ish going into nobody knows what he wants
1:02:52
to do. Is he gonna play basketball? Is he gonna play football?
1:02:53
Like, what's he gonna do? And then like yeah, I think the
1:02:57
other problem is if he decides to go football. Michigan's been in this race
1:03:00
pretty long and they have some pretty strong relationships there. So I think when
1:03:05
you go to the football side, it's like you almost the first wonder,
1:03:07
was it, Yeah, it's like does Michigan lead here? Right? You
1:03:10
know, there's there's teams that have been before Oklahoma, and so it's just
1:03:14
like I I again, that's one of those recruits where it's like, if
1:03:17
we land him, great because he's a freak, but does he play football.
1:03:22
It feels like he's a PWL type situation. And I know a few
1:03:25
of the other insiders have made mentioned that they wonder if this ends up being
1:03:30
where Oklahoma moves a player over into tight end where we don't really probably pull
1:03:36
one. And I say that in the light of and I've said this on
1:03:39
a couple of videos as well, and I'm gonna continue to toot this horn
1:03:43
of it's probably an Oklahom's best interest to focus on the portal for tight ends
1:03:49
for right now until we kind of prove that we actually gonna use the heck
1:03:52
out of the tight end right now. Granted we probably will. You We're
1:03:57
gonna use Bower Sharp a lot can use. I think Jake Roberts is also
1:04:00
going to get some usage. But that wide receiver room is so darned stout
1:04:06
that it's gonna be really, really, really tough to get the ball to
1:04:14
those tight ends. Still so, and as Toder mentioned here, this is
1:04:20
the one name I have mentioned in a video I did and around recruiting is
1:04:24
Trenee Washington. He plays tight end as well. Marcus James does also,
1:04:28
So you've got two dudes there. You've got uh McIntyre played tight end and
1:04:34
he's a tight end right now. But he can move the linebacker if you
1:04:38
really need him to, because he played linebacker in because I think that was
1:04:42
like the choice with him. It was either either one of those two.
1:04:45
And then if you do shield night you can move him. Nixon can play
1:04:49
tight end as well. Yeah, I want running back. I want to
1:04:57
I want him. I want to pull him like a vitaveya put him.
1:05:00
The thing is with this tight end room for Oklahoma is I think you want
1:05:06
to get at least one guy in this class, Like I think that's ideal.
1:05:11
But if Cayden Helms comes out and just starts balling out this year,
1:05:16
which is possibility, like I mean, you might be the good spot because
1:05:23
Trendy Washington is probably going to play tight end for you. He can And
1:05:30
don't put it past Oklahoma to screw around a little bit with carry on.
1:05:34
Yeah. Oh, he's a hybrid. He's a hybrid, for sure.
1:05:38
He is. He is going to be Andrews. I make the joke every
1:05:42
single time, But there's no chance that he stays wide receiver exclusive for four
1:05:46
years. I just I can't see it. I'm about ninety nine percent that
1:05:50
he does, just because he's really good on the outside. Now, the
1:05:55
problem I run into with him is that you're not going to be able to
1:05:58
trick many teams with him at tight end because he's not gonna do H back.
1:06:00
They won't put him in H back right. No, they won't even
1:06:03
have him pull in the block right. And if that's where my concern comes
1:06:08
in of even thinking carry On could even have a chance of doing it,
1:06:11
I think he'll be on that outside and he's going to be a monster.
1:06:14
That's why I say. That's why I say a flex tight end, because
1:06:16
I mean it is, Hey, we're lining him up for a route and
1:06:21
he's gonna play tight. I don't think it's going to be a situation where
1:06:26
like you're putting him at the end. Oh there we go wild. Well
1:06:30
it was a throw. She tried to catch her at third pace? Yeah,
1:06:34
wow, throw out. You just don't. You just don't do stuff
1:06:39
like that. You cannot make mistakes at ou and you definitely can't make like
1:06:43
wild pitches. And this is how Texas lost last year's state lost last year
1:06:46
too. This is the I was gonna be expected all year long, Like
1:06:50
we went to go play them. They played the best defense of their lives
1:06:54
in Austin. And this is the Texas that we've seen all year, Texas
1:06:58
defense that makes errors. They're not that great. Uh. And Oklahoma has
1:07:00
clearly taken advantage of it. And that ball hit Brita right in the elbow.
1:07:04
And I mean it wasn't close. That never was gonna get caught.
1:07:06
So but no, I mean, I just I just go with this is.
1:07:10
I just think the reason why I say the thing about carry on is
1:07:13
wide receivers are so stacked and you have so much that if they want him
1:07:16
on the field, that might be an option because you can straight up just
1:07:20
be like that, we're lining up right here, split off the line,
1:07:25
and he's going to go down the middle, safety R linebacker? Which one
1:07:28
you want? Yeah? No, that's that's a good option. Uh.
1:07:32
My deal is again, like I said, if Kayden Holmes is what we
1:07:36
want him to be, he's an option. Then you've got oh, what's
1:07:42
his name, the five star Devon Mitchell. Uh, and then you've got
1:07:45
you know, mckinry, like, I like, Oklahoma's just got some They've
1:07:49
just got some like wild cards in that room. And then it's if Jake
1:07:54
Roberts goes out there, which I think he's going to be our past blocking
1:07:57
tight end primarily, and he shows out, and then you get bower Sharp
1:08:02
to h I think you probably get bower Sharp for two years. I don't
1:08:05
think he leaves after this year. I don't think he's gonna put that much
1:08:09
on film to work himself until to to leave you no homa two years of
1:08:14
eligibility, he stays two years, you're mine if you're Oklahoma. But like,
1:08:17
you still got to go into the portal because you can't work with just
1:08:21
freshmen. Wow, that was a nice robbery because that was gonna be a
1:08:27
home run. Uh, you can't roll out there with just freshman in your
1:08:30
second year in the SEC as your backups to your starters has two years of
1:08:35
eligibility. So I'm assuming that he's going to be playing. Yeah, Jake
1:08:40
will be gone, Jake, Jake will be gone. He he doesn't have
1:08:42
any eligibility after this. So but no, I mean, it's a big
1:08:45
weekend. It's it's a really big weekend for your ov's uh, just because
1:08:48
this is gonna set the tone, and this is like like if you land
1:08:53
off a Lava, Uh, it's going to kind of push the paper with
1:08:57
the other offensive lineman. MPG. I'm very, very under the impression that
1:09:01
FOJ is going to end up a five star. I think off a Lava
1:09:04
has an outside chance. So I mean, you you you put your work
1:09:09
in with off of Lava, You've got POJ And he continues to rise and
1:09:13
after those, I mean, you land one of those guys, and you've
1:09:15
got three five star offensive linemen. And I was gonna say, too base
1:09:21
uponlling up. What I've been hearing the rumbles go around is that it's like
1:09:26
Oklahoma's really just gonna swing for the fences of the tackles. And I don't
1:09:29
and I don't think it's just going to swing for the fences. I was
1:09:30
talking to fo J today, We had an interview today and we were talking
1:09:33
about, Hey, who you recruiting Norman? He said, Susie and Heywood
1:09:36
right, And you know, I've heard that from a lot of players that
1:09:42
are currently committed in this class and guys that are already on campus like Daniel
1:09:45
Aku and Komi is talking to the SUSI. Yeah, lot, I think
1:09:50
Oklahoma, if they have a chance to get Ty Haywood and the SUSI,
1:09:56
they might pay for both. They might pay for both. Hey, listen,
1:10:00
I know of a specific gas station, Shane that has somebody along the
1:10:03
offensive line in our history that will tone you up. And I've heard they're
1:10:10
playing for the big fish this cycle. This is the cycle that I know
1:10:15
Beat and bow liked the offensive lineman, the prospects, and this is the
1:10:20
one they're gonna swing for the fences on. To add to last year's class,
1:10:24
that twenty four class was a big offensive line class, this one should
1:10:28
also be a nice sized offensive line class and that should take for us to
1:10:31
where we can get to the to get like three offensive linemen per class type
1:10:36
setup. So you do you think do you think that there is a there's
1:10:43
battles between Ou and Texas for a couple of these guys and oh yeah,
1:10:46
are gonna want to watch? Well, I mean I know that there are,
1:10:48
but I mean like they're gonna want to watch like what the beginning of
1:10:50
the season looks like. Or do you think that that has nothing to do
1:10:55
with that has nothing to do with it? I don't think that has anything
1:10:58
to do with it either. Yeah, I've been told that there's so much
1:11:01
proven success at this point with what Bill betan Bos been able to do in
1:11:04
first round. And the thing is like the talk that Sexton could be a
1:11:08
first round tackle this year and the talk that Hickman could be a first round
1:11:12
tackle this year is resonating like it's like, okay, so he could really
1:11:16
try to put in three in a row, three tackles and potentially two this
1:11:23
year. Right, Yeah, Yeah, Branson has been being talked up heavily
1:11:27
on I've seen it. Don't think it's all one mock that they had him
1:11:30
late first So and if he has the season he's supposed to because he's been
1:11:34
a three years, two year starter at SMU, you need it. You
1:11:41
need somebody at the back end of the draft who loses their center to retirement
1:11:45
like a Kelsey situation. I think to get a center in the first round,
1:11:49
I mean, I still take a center in the second round is a
1:11:53
pretty damn oppressive you know, because we didn't Creed when but he's see the
1:11:57
last pick of the first round or was was he right into the second round?
1:12:00
Right? Man? I here's my deal, first round tackle, no,
1:12:04
not first round tackle, first round Sexton would be your tackle, and
1:12:11
Sexton is gonna have to have a pretty incredible year. But it's it's possible.
1:12:15
It's possible play for Hickman though you know he was already the fourth highest
1:12:19
graded center. And the thing is, I think the league has seen what
1:12:24
Bill Beingbow did with Creed Humphrey and if he could kind of tweak some things
1:12:29
with Hickman and make him that uh, like, there's gonna be a team
1:12:33
that's just gonna go, yeah, we've got an aging center. We're gonna
1:12:36
take that risk probably like like, there's gonna be That's that's what I'm talking
1:12:40
about. You even if their center is not going to retire, like,
1:12:43
somebody's gonna take that risk because if they go, oh, Bill Beateenbow has
1:12:46
put that stamp of approval and he did that with Creed. I want that
1:12:49
guy. I think the thing that I look at is if you can land
1:12:54
two five star tackles in this class, then in twenty twenty six, it
1:12:58
makes your life a whole lot easier to go out there and get Emmanuel in
1:13:00
Hinako, which I want that kid. That kid I think is a freak.
1:13:08
I mean, I don't know if you all seen him. He's like
1:13:10
six seven, three forty or something like that. Like you want that you
1:13:14
that's another Tyler guid and that you want to get out there. Emanuel,
1:13:17
that's what Emanuel. He reminds me of the the Alabama tackle that's going to
1:13:25
be a sophomore in this year. His name escapes me too right now,
1:13:28
but he reminds me of the Baylor guy. Oh yeah, the one everyboy
1:13:32
he's being a giant. Yeah, yeah, that's who he reminds me of.
1:13:35
Wait, now that's the defensive lineman that killed people. Yeah, but
1:13:40
dude is like that big though. Yeah, I mean he is massive,
1:13:44
And I mean that's are you talking about Wilkin Wilkin, I don't know his
1:13:48
name. I just know he no Coop. You're talking about returning lineman for
1:13:57
offensive tack. Kaden Croctor, Oh yeah, the one that just transferred back.
1:14:02
Caden Proctor is as close as like. I mean, I think he
1:14:06
get looks in the second round coming out of high school. Just his his
1:14:11
his intangibles and his measurables and all that stuff. And I mean he's got
1:14:15
to play two more years just to go to the NFL, and I mean
1:14:17
it's it's Manuel is going to be a dog. The crazy thing though,
1:14:25
is is Fazusi that far off from Proctor? Because Fazusi is like one of
1:14:30
those guys where he's a plug and play. He's a plug and play like
1:14:32
he is. And and that's why I want Floyd Bouchard so bad on the
1:14:35
defensive line, because Floyd Buchard is just like Fasusi. He's a plug and
1:14:40
play. He's like he needs to tweak his weight to a little bit.
1:14:43
But outside of that that means ready, like he's you can plug him in,
1:14:45
he can read go. You're seeing it more and more out of some
1:14:49
of these kids, uh, you know, guys like Jonah Williams. You
1:14:54
know a lot of a lot of these guys are coming in and they're they're
1:14:57
ready to rock right from the get. Hey, let's wrap this up with
1:15:00
this one though, because we're getting a little bit of almost an hour and
1:15:05
fifteen and glad y'all been chilling with us. Over six hundred people viewing that.
1:15:09
Man, it's a very good, uh good episode today, y'all.
1:15:13
See y'all saw the phone bombs go down. I dropped a video on this
1:15:16
j O'Neill quarterback twenty twenty six pg's best friends with just the fact that we've
1:15:24
got all of these predictions came in that quickly. How are we feeling about
1:15:30
that? I feel about it at that point, literally last night, because
1:15:35
y'all saw if if by the way, if you guys aren't in Jay's Discord
1:15:39
and you guys want some information on recruiting, you need to join discord the
1:15:44
description I was in there last night at like one am, drop all of
1:15:47
the notes about Jason O'Neill, and then the next morning, everybody wakes up,
1:15:51
Chad Simonton, Steve Willbong, they do it. They think Josh mc
1:15:56
chest throws. Yeah. It's like it's like everybody brisk it through his chicken
1:16:00
wing in there and boom. Yeah. Like everybody in Ja's Discord had like
1:16:03
an eight hour heads up that this that this was going down. But no,
1:16:08
with Jayden O'Neill, It's like I thought last time, I'm like,
1:16:11
man, should I put in a like should I like make my own?
1:16:14
And I was like, nah, I'm just gonna wait be cause Darien prodition
1:16:17
video, But man, I w I did I did today? But last
1:16:23
night I got an interesting texts said, hey, like I think Darien Coleman
1:16:26
could end up at UCF, and I was like, oh really, And
1:16:28
then the follow up text with that was Texas didn't offer Jaden O'Neill and he's
1:16:32
coming back to Oklahoma. And then I got this picture of Jayden O'Neill walking
1:16:35
into the Texas facilities with oh you gear on, and I was like,
1:16:40
this is interesting. And then like I've heard from like a month now that
1:16:45
hey, the O'Neill's they love Oklahoma first option for Seth Latrell and BV.
1:16:54
And you know, we're getting to that point now where we saw with Kevin
1:16:59
Sperry, like Spury was committed in like April or May last year, Like
1:17:01
BV wants to have these quarterbacks committed early because they're going to be the best
1:17:05
pure recruiter and he wants to get them working right. So done, ladies,
1:17:12
close it out. I think we're gonna have a quarterback commitment. Whether
1:17:15
it's your Coleman or your O'Neill, whoever it is, I think it could
1:17:19
be which one, which one? Which? What's your pick? I mean,
1:17:24
what's your pick of your choice? I mean like which one do you
1:17:26
think O'Neil He's he's the better, He's he's the most athletic guy. I
1:17:30
think Darien Coleman probably has a higher upside, but it's it's it's a lot
1:17:33
more risky as O'Neill. Which, by the way, Kelly Maxwell just finished
1:17:38
the night. They didn't have to switch pictures, so it's eight and three
1:17:41
closed it. Yep, that's good for her. So we'll probably see Nicole
1:17:45
May tomorrow, which is gonna be interesting. Perfect How I see how ou
1:17:47
fans react to that, because they seem to all be Patty Gasso's out there,
1:17:51
but no, I think it'd be O'Neill. He's the he's the more
1:17:55
athletic quarterback. He's better outside of the pocket. He's a little bit more
1:17:59
defined right now. He's got a he's got a really good deep ball,
1:18:01
Like I don't know if you guys have watched this film, but he's got
1:18:03
a good deep off you you can go to Sooner or Later Sports that channel
1:18:10
if you're not watching it on that channel now, if you're not watching Unfair
1:18:13
Sports, go to that one. I put a video out there and I
1:18:15
showed all his highlights from Elite eleven, as well as from his sophomore season,
1:18:20
where he threw for twenty seven hundred yards and twenty seven touchdowns. Twenty
1:18:24
one hundred yards twenty seven touchdowns, stupid. Yes, his deep ball.
1:18:28
He can. He has a beautiful touch, good accuracy, and he has
1:18:31
a canon. It's everything you want. Yeah you got you got a Neil
1:18:36
coming in this weekend, and yeah it's gonna be. I think Oklahoma's gonna
1:18:42
do what they need to this weekend to shut down a quarterback commitment, and
1:18:44
you'll see it probably by the end of July. I bet yeah. And
1:18:48
all right, I tell you what the O'Neil kid. I think I saw
1:18:53
somebody put in somebody the primetime player. I mean, there's there's a lot
1:18:58
of I mean, it's what we wanted Kyler to look like from a height
1:19:01
standpoint, and it's like it's somewhere between Paul Thompson and Kyler Murray, like
1:19:09
just you know, just with the size and I mean, this, guys,
1:19:13
this is this is this is crazy. Now. I do say that
1:19:16
if you're wondering, can we hold on to every single one of these quarterbacks?
1:19:20
Like no, I don't, I don't, I don't really see that
1:19:23
happening. You know, somebody's going to eventually want to. But that's the
1:19:27
game you play, you're gonna lose. I mean, you got to think
1:19:30
about it. I mean, we got a lot of quarterbacks that are transferring
1:19:32
because they I mean they want to come in and they want to play.
1:19:34
If you're ready earlier now, then you know more than ever. I mean
1:19:39
you rewind to how I mean PG, I know that you're in like twenty
1:19:43
six, but you know, Jay and I we didn't have weight rooms in
1:19:46
their football back the day. You know these It's just so crazy how advanced
1:19:54
these high school programs are. And so O'Neil though, is he just he
1:19:59
It puts a smile on my face, and that'll be one of my favorite
1:20:01
players before he is a senior in high school. I mean, it's just
1:20:04
crazy. That's all I say about that. No, but to build off
1:20:13
the O'Neil stuff for your camps this weekend, you know, he's not the
1:20:16
only big prospect that you're getting into Oklahoma. I think has a chance of
1:20:19
shutting down early with Felix Ojo is gonna be on campus. Bill ban Mill
1:20:25
has got a great relationship there. He's out of Texas. I don't know
1:20:29
what school or where he's out of, but he's he's out of Texas.
1:20:31
That's one that I'm watching. You've got three star wide receiver Kedrick Brown.
1:20:36
I can't say his other name like I say O Sunday Brown. And then
1:20:41
I mean it's a packed list for twenty twenty seven. They've got Johnny Fitzgerald
1:20:45
third on the defensive line out of Red Oak, Texas. That's one that
1:20:48
I'm interested to see exactly where he lands. But he looks like prospect that
1:20:53
could blossom a little bit. It's you know, as we're looking into the
1:21:00
twenty six and twenty seven classes, I mean, these numbers don't even make
1:21:02
sense to me, but I mean, yeah, it's it's your the the
1:21:09
collection of talent Oklahoma was bringing for of these camps. It has been I
1:21:12
mean, you know, I was sarcastic in our texting earlier PG, but
1:21:15
you know it's you know, I wish I could be there tomorrow. That
1:21:17
would be that would be terrific. So and then yeah, Gabe Sachek's brother
1:21:21
did walk on too right? Yes, yes, crazy interesting to see how
1:21:27
he's going to be used same. I'm actually intrigued how how that actually works
1:21:33
out, but he has to tell carry on, he's playing tight end.
1:21:41
I'm done, all right, just wrap it up. We're going almost up
1:21:45
minute and almost an hour and thirty. Thank you out for pulling up hit
