  Give us five any way and get it. And of course, my
• 0:50
  boy Coop is here with me today. Hopefully his volume is at a good
• 0:54
  level this time, because we're gonna dive into some fun topics like the double
• 0:58
  Commitment week exciting around that, and we had a couple of visitors this past
• 1:03
  weekend, something to get everybody excited about because it sounds like we've got an
• 1:06
  opportunity to win something big. And then we'll talk about the spring game because
• 1:11
  it is the primer. We are about to be Worrell less than a week
• 1:14
  away, guys, we are six days away from getting to see some spring
• 1:17
  ball and finally some football actions. All right, Coop, Happy Sunday Man,
• 1:22
  how you doing Man, I'm doing great. I'd like to see some
• 1:26
  folks in the chat ready to roll. And so yeah, like I said
• 1:30
  in the green room, did a nice little yard work today and so your
• 1:34
  boys. Feels like I just got hit by a truck. So it's good.
• 1:40
  Yeah, Coop made the mistake of doing this before our show, knowing
• 1:42
  good and will that the dedication to this show is a lot higher and he
• 1:46
  should have never put him up in a situation he's gonna be in too much
• 1:48
  pain. But I understand because yard work, James, really, you're a
• 1:55
  parasite. That's actual comedic gold. I appreciate you saying that. That's pretty
• 2:00
  funny. It's great to see all of y'all today here on this lovely uh
• 2:06
  Sunday. Hi to all of you, you know, thank you for pulling
• 2:09
  up. We're gonna have some fun. Oh yeah, thanks stevens Coop sounds
• 2:16
  good. So that means that we did not. My out of townness didn't
• 2:23
  break Coop to sound for some reason this time around. It was it was
• 2:28
  it was me, coach Dan, Thank you, sir. Hey, I
• 2:30
  hope to see you at the spring game. All right, you know,
• 2:32
  so y'all know y'all gonna hear this every day this week. I'm a postmine
• 2:38
  tomorrow morning. I want to know who's gonna be at the spring game.
• 2:40
  Go a hand, jump in the comments. Let your boy know who's gonna
• 2:44
  be pulling up enjoining us at the spring game, because you know, regardless
• 2:49
  of what said, yeah, I'm gonna be there. All right, let's
• 2:57
  see, Coop, let's dive into the first topic of discussion and just go
• 3:01
  get right into it. Right. We got a double commitment this week,
• 3:07
  right on the tenth we had two guys commit Malie Hawkins out of Frisco Emerson
• 3:12
  High School down there in Texas, and then we got Trent Wilson at Florida.
• 3:20
  Coop, let's talk about Malik and the cornerback six foot one, monstrous
• 3:24
  guy. How do you feel about that commitment? You know, we have
• 3:31
  had our passes at going after you know, all goodness gracious, a little
• 3:38
  Texas legacies and it's it's bet us in the butt. But when we get
• 3:45
  when you get somebody like Malie Hawkins, I mean number one, you've started
• 3:47
  seeing the defensive backs, the receivers, all these guys are getting bigger,
• 3:53
  right, so we're not seeing Brendan Randley Hiles out there at five six with
• 3:59
  his with his somehow five star status. But you know it's you can't hate
• 4:06
  the size because you can't coach the size. That's not gonna happen. But
• 4:11
  as a legacy, I mean, if you guys don't remember Michael Hawkins,
• 4:15
  Michael Hawkins didn't have a ton of you know, he didn't have a big
• 4:19
  four year run at Oklahoma, but when he was out there, he was
• 4:23
  he was he was. He was a lockdown guy. He was really good.
• 4:26
  And so yeah, I mean he's got he had great size. And
• 4:30
  now with brother on campus slinging the ball around. I can't wait till spring
• 4:33
  game with with brother on brother Malik picking off Michael. You know that's going
• 4:40
  to happen at some point in the future. So again, legacy, you
• 4:45
  bring, you bring a sooner home defensive back. It continues to be with
• 4:48
  Vala and Brandon Hall right now. You get you get a physical specimen and
• 4:56
  you got to continue to be a guy to come in and play in this
• 4:59
  secondary. Yeah, and that's the thing I was thinking about when it comes
• 5:01
  from adding in the league. So you know, you've got a few other
• 5:04
  players that were looking at corner wise yo with Kobe Sellers, you got Courtland
• 5:10
  Guillery or whatnot, And so it appears that the big goal is to get
• 5:15
  a mixture of the big and the tall guys, mainly big corners. I
• 5:18
  mean, you look at the Jay and Rose of the world. It's six
• 5:20
  two ish, you know, you know Kenai Walker and the six foot range.
• 5:25
  You're looking at a lot of bigger corners. But you still got to
• 5:29
  eli boys who's gonna be scrappy, right, It's gonna be scrappy dude.
• 5:30
  They be able to chase and keep up with your slot dude. So I
• 5:34
  can totally see the for me, I guess visually, I see your nickel
• 5:40
  dudes being the smaller guys, your your boundary or your your sideline corner being
• 5:48
  your bigger guy. Probably sideline corner you want to have bigger actually correction,
• 5:53
  your sideline guy, your boundary guys sounds like you want to have as a
• 5:57
  smaller dude because they basically were working with the sidelines as their assistant, right,
• 6:01
  and then the one that's working the field, he's going to be the
• 6:04
  bigger dude, because then it makes the passing radius a lot different. But
• 6:09
  as you mentioned, when we're going up against John Wilson, ain't around anymore.
• 6:14
  Johnny Wilson ain't around no more. For Florida State, we ain't got
• 6:16
  to worry about a dude being that big going out there dominating our corners because
• 6:23
  we've got guys that are closer in height range to the six sixth dude and
• 6:27
  they can jump. So that's a fair point to think about. Yeah,
• 6:33
  to add him to the class, that deepens what we're doing and bringing in
• 6:38
  the siblings, right, So heah, that's kind of fascinating. So you
• 6:42
  got Eli bowing in and now you've got Malie Hawkins. It feels like we
• 6:46
  really are trying to make it to war. Oklahoma's a destination for the entire
• 6:48
  family instead of splitting things up. I know, we got a few other
• 6:51
  guys that get to go after potential siblings. But what you think about that
• 6:56
  the family ties we're going after, I mean, it makes them more sticky,
• 7:01
  right. You know, from a marketing standpoint or a sales standpoint,
• 7:05
  if you can get more than one product, you know, in someone's hands,
• 7:10
  it makes it harder for them to cancel multiple products. Well, you
• 7:14
  know, in the age of the portal. I mean, I'm pretty sure
• 7:15
  that that wasn't calculated, but still, I mean, you've got to be
• 7:19
  able to have some dependency because and I'm making an announcement without even telling Jay
• 7:26
  this, and I think that he will. We are retiring. We are
• 7:30
  retiring community competitive depth. We're no longer doing competitive depth. Our new buzzword
• 7:38
  is complimentary football, because that's what we got to start playing, is complimentary
• 7:44
  football. So we got to have you know, we've seen the offense ball
• 7:47
  out and the defense and then vice versa. So now, guys, I'm
• 7:51
  saying complimentary football because I think that when you bring these siblings in, you
• 7:57
  know, with the Hawkins family, you've got one on offense, went on
• 8:00
  defense, so they're they're they're pressing and doing everything they can. You know,
• 8:03
  with Bowen, they're they're both in the secondary. So there's that.
• 8:07
  But I mean, the whole point is is we want complimentary football nowadays,
• 8:13
  more than just competitive depth, because we've reached competitive depth like that is absolutely
• 8:18
  there. And I'm probably sending everybody down alcoholism by saying both of these things
• 8:22
  is on repeat. But but do you do you do you agree with me
• 8:28
  that we are at we've reached competitive depth for most of the position groups.
• 8:33
  I think we have agree. I think the only one we don't have it
• 8:35
  fully is gonna be offensive line is because we lost so many dudes, you
• 8:39
  know, to the to to the pros, because we were graduating out with
• 8:43
  all some portal guys. We also had some graduate graduates and we're still trying
• 8:48
  to bring in the building beaten bow type lineman's hints why we took a massive,
• 8:54
  massive class last year. But yeah, I think overall, competitive depth
• 8:58
  wise, we've got all of it. Like the anticipation is we're gonna see
• 9:01
  dudes hit the portal at some point we have to. That's what happens when
• 9:05
  you're stacking talent on type of talent on top of talent. At a certain
• 9:07
  point, unfortunately, guys are gonna start fizzling out. But the competitive depth
• 9:11
  there in which I'm gonna continue to say and keep that drinking game from myself.
• 9:13
  You both do both. We got we got two to well, we
• 9:16
  got complimentary football going on here, and that's what you that's what you need
• 9:20
  in order to be successful in SEC. So that's another of course conversations.
• 9:24
  As tofer mentioned, we're stacking talent right, the goal is to stack as
• 9:28
  much talent as flipping possible. But I like the Hawkins pick up. It
• 9:35
  sounds like we're not gonna take a massive class this time around. I think
• 9:39
  Preventables mentioned it a while ago that it was gonna be It's gonna be probably
• 9:41
  in the twenty twenty two range in comparison to what we did with twenty seven
• 9:45
  to twenty eight last class, last couple classes. Actually, we're probably gonna
• 9:48
  slow down on as many young and then kind of leverage the Portal to fill
• 9:54
  those gaps, which I anticipate Portal season is gonna be huge. On Tuesday,
• 10:00
  I plan on I'm gonna be out of town for two days. But
• 10:03
  when I come back, either Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, I anticipate
• 10:07
  that it's gonna be just hitting the floor. Because first off, you got
• 10:11
  Bleedy showing up. PHILP. Bleedy from IOWE, the big defensive lineman.
• 10:16
  He'll be at the spring game, and to be honest, I think once
• 10:20
  he else's spring game, at that point, he'll have his decision on where
• 10:22
  he's gonna play. If he's gonna come to Oklahoma, he's going to LSU.
• 10:24
  If he's going to Auburn. He's already done the tour and I sent
• 10:30
  that post spring game. He'll make his decision from there. You know.
• 10:39
  Our goal here, of course, with this is we want to make sure
• 10:43
  that we have a sufficient amount of depth at young as well as kind of
• 10:48
  veteran because that was kind of a big problem too last year. As I
• 10:50
  mentioned at nauseum, we're young, and so that youth is gonna get our
• 10:56
  butt. So anyway, from there, we had Trent Will Trent who's out
• 11:01
  of Maryland. My apology in not Florida, Maryland. He's at Doctor Henry
• 11:03
  Wise High out there in the Maryland area. And now he got me excited.
• 11:09
  But and I got me excited because not only him being a four star,
• 11:13
  top two hundred player in the country at defensive line. He's a defensive
• 11:18
  lineman that's top two hundred, that's a four star that all of us have
• 11:24
  been losing our minds hoping that Bates could land more of now grants it.
• 11:26
  Last class, he kilt it like there's no complaints about last class. Like
• 11:31
  I think last class showed you what Bates can do and he got everything he
• 11:35
  needed. There was more we wanted, but he got everything he needed,
• 11:39
  We just had additional once. I think Trent sets the stage for us to
• 11:43
  continue that going on coop. Seeing Trent, seeing the way he plays,
• 11:48
  seeing the way he moves, seeing the fact that we snatched him up out
• 11:50
  of Maryland this early on a player that was pretty coveted. How did you
• 11:54
  feel about that? I mean, with when you saw the Landen Root news,
• 12:03
  like they most of us had already been talking about this Wilson kid,
• 12:07
  right that all of a sudden this was starting to happen, and some of
• 12:11
  us were starting to get pretty pretty jazzed up about this. I mean,
• 12:15
  you go into an area that is pretty much ran by the big ten and
• 12:22
  you know, obviously the little big East country up there, but you know,
• 12:26
  we we've had some recent success with Caleb Williams and for Rooke up in
• 12:31
  the area. I mean, and so when you can pull guys from all
• 12:35
  over the place, that's that's I mean, that's a true national footprint.
• 12:41
  And so that's what you know. What's it's hard to understand when you're a
• 12:45
  program and no offense to these programs, but like a Texas Tech or Wyoming
• 12:48
  or a Vanderbilt, those guys are not I mean, they're not pulling people
• 12:52
  everywhere. It's it's it just continues to be a really cool thing for Oklahoma
• 12:58
  fans to be able to see. If there is a top, top edge,
• 13:01
  you know, echelon player in Florida, we're gonna go after him.
• 13:03
  And we got a good chance if it's out of Texas, outside of you
• 13:07
  know, Pops being a you know, a Longhorn legacy, you know,
• 13:11
  we can go get them. California, we can go get them. So
• 13:13
  we continue to watch that, but we're still bringing home the guys from around
• 13:18
  here, so you get the best of both worlds. I love this,
• 13:22
  Steven, and this is what we've been saying, Thank you, mister Rink.
• 13:26
  We we knew that there was a chance, but we also knew that
• 13:28
  there was a chance we weren't gonna land him this very higher chance. And
• 13:30
  like you said, Coop, once we started to see really the tea leaves
• 13:33
  reading towards A and N, we're like, look, throw everything at Wilson,
• 13:37
  and it appears that the minute that we did that, Trent's kind of
• 13:41
  like yeah, because he can't. He's supposed to have been at the Blue
• 13:45
  and White Spring Game this weekend for Penn State and they were like, no,
• 13:48
  I don't think that man's gonna show up. And that got your boy
• 13:52
  excited, like, oh, y'all don't see him coming through. Well,
• 13:56
  then all right, we got him. We got there, we go and
• 13:58
  the best. That's part about getting a player like him though too. Like
• 14:01
  I said, say's the foundation for the defensive linement you want in this class.
• 14:05
  That's going to help us go forward in the SEC. And so of
• 14:07
  course I'm excited. That telled me that Bates is still Baits, He's still
• 14:13
  tied base, still the guy from Clemson who is still unfortunately for him,
• 14:18
  trying to convince kids that yes, things will be different in Oklahoma. Even
• 14:22
  though we still have a high flying offense. We promise you the defense is
• 14:26
  still gonna be really good. It's gonna be Reventables actually doing it, and
• 14:30
  they're slowly changing the minds of recruits. So yeah, I anticipate more Clemson
• 14:37
  kids types being here. We're literally building a defense similar to what Remnables did
• 14:41
  at Clemson. So be excited and Jay, you know, all add in
• 14:46
  this. We're seeing it with the safety room that what do we have six
• 14:50
  or seven guys that like you're excited to see where we have to get on
• 14:54
  the defensive line too. You cannot be rolling in, I mean, to
• 15:00
  be honest with you, guys that were I mean Jonah, I mean,
• 15:03
  I've made the comment the other day about Woody Washington maybe has ran out of
• 15:07
  time in Norman just because the talent is passing him by. And listen what
• 15:11
  he can still be on the field. He still has a spot on the
• 15:13
  field no matter what. Like if what he is your defensive starting defensive back
• 15:18
  at Oklahoma, that's great. If he is a rotation guy, that's great.
• 15:22
  But like Woody Washington, if you remember just a few years ago,
• 15:26
  Woody Washington's health was was like the only thing that gave us an opportunity to
• 15:33
  having anything to I mean that could stop a nosebleed on defense. And now
• 15:37
  we're talking about him not you know, maybe even having a spot. So
• 15:41
  where we're going with this is you can't have a Jonah lalaou, you know,
• 15:45
  be switching off a linebacker coming in and being what you expect to be
• 15:48
  a contributing defensive lineman. We've got to have every single one of these guys
• 15:54
  either be processed or or be contributors because you can't. You can't have have
• 16:00
  a five year you know, defensive lineman on campus because you've got to see
• 16:03
  like it's and so that's why when you look at guys like you know,
• 16:07
  a National Sanders or Marcus Strong, you know they see these guys and hopefully
• 16:11
  that ups their game. So what does it mean? I mean, imagine
• 16:15
  rolling out eight defensive linemen that you know, number eight is a guy that
• 16:21
  can start for two thirds of the the you know, the teams in college
• 16:23
  football. So let's go on into We had some visitors pull up this past
• 16:33
  weekend. They got us excited, So we're going to dive into that.
• 16:37
  Before we do that, thank y'all for pulling up. Please hit that like.
• 16:40
  But if you knew to the channel, subscribe rate review, give us
• 16:42
  five stars and think we deserve it. Give us five anyway gifted if you're
• 16:48
  listening to us on the podcast version. So let's talk about it. Cool,
• 16:53
  let's talk about it. We had two big time visitors, right,
• 16:56
  I got a video coming out to kind of talk even more detail about this.
• 17:00
  Two on the Sooner or Later Sports channel also on h on this play.
• 17:04
  We had one one Iri dropped earlier. Darien Coleman, the quarterback out
• 17:10
  of uh little said Lakeland, Florida, Orlando Jones High School came through and
• 17:17
  when you sell all the pictures this kid was posting, it kind of made
• 17:19
  you feel like, Yeah, he's definitely pro Oklahoma, like po row Oklahoma.
• 17:26
  He loves it here sixty one one sixty. I think the biggest thing
• 17:30
  for him is I kind of even to put on some more weight. But
• 17:34
  if we can lock up the twenty twenty six quarterback now like we did with
• 17:37
  Kevin Sperry last year, that honestly kind of fast tracks us right into twenty
• 17:42
  twenty six class though, right, because I mean we've got Hatton already,
• 17:45
  Jonathan Hatton running back down there in Texas that out of nowhere committed a while
• 17:51
  ago. But having your quarterback which lands your cornerstone, that's just gonna do
• 17:56
  nothing but accelerate that class, right. I Mean, this is what you
• 18:02
  saw out of Caleb Williams. What you saw with Jackson. Jackson was you
• 18:07
  know, he was the epitome of that class, you know, two years
• 18:11
  ago. And the same thing with Caleb, like anytime that when you have
• 18:15
  a you know, a cornerstone quarterback in your class, that is what you
• 18:22
  know gets you closer to a top five class. So I could think this
• 18:26
  year it'll be a struggle to be a consensus top five class because we just
• 18:30
  don't have the quarterback in this But I mean, I don't know how you've
• 18:36
  been looking at the Darren's film, like what are your thoughts on him,
• 18:40
  because it's the opportunity is just blows my mind. Yeah, there's a big
• 18:47
  opportunity with him, like like, and I think that's the big thing jumped
• 18:49
  out to me as size wise, like I need him to get a little
• 18:52
  bit thicker, right, But and I'll go ahead and add but I'll let
• 18:56
  y'all see some of the video too. But when I watch watch his film,
• 19:00
  I was like, okay, let me let me let's see how mobile
• 19:04
  he is. And then when I got to watch him, I was like,
• 19:08
  Oh, he's actually a lot more mobile than I expected. And he
• 19:14
  can throw it on the run. Right, So yeah, that really is
• 19:19
  what gets you kind of excited about him, And so of course I had
• 19:25
  to go grab the film so we can kind of watch him play and talk
• 19:29
  about him. But he has good touch, especially on long passes. I
• 19:32
  think that's what got me excited, and I like the way he steps into
• 19:34
  the past like he revs up and he just lobs it. And then of
• 19:40
  course he's athletic again. He's one hundred and sixty pounds. I need him
• 19:45
  to up that up that side. But he's also playing ball in Florida.
• 19:48
  Now. He's in the what Lakeland area, which is close to I think
• 19:49
  Orlando than it is to like Miami. But watching him be able to move
• 19:56
  is good in Florida football. But he has really really, really really really
• 20:00
  good touch. I can't wait to see what it looks like next season.
• 20:03
  I can't wait to see what it looks like, which this is his sophomore
• 20:07
  film. Basically will have junior year next year, and then well this fall
• 20:11
  and then next year around the fall we get to see the senior tape.
• 20:15
  I'm curious to see what how he improves. Right, and he has no
• 20:19
  problem throwing it across the middle. Can't beat that to me. I'm like,
• 20:26
  Okay, we got a quarterback that got some good touch. I don't
• 20:27
  know what this arm stream looks like. I mean, because watching this film,
• 20:30
  I didn't see a lot of passes where he was just launching it deep.
• 20:33
  But he has a nice lob to his passes, and of course his
• 20:37
  wife he was open, so they of course killing the game. So and
• 20:40
  he's got some good pocket awareness. There's a lot to be excited about.
• 20:44
  Let's just put it that way. Do you have is this one on Orlando
• 20:48
  Jones? Or is this Darien Coleman. This is Coleman. His high school's
• 20:52
  Orlando Jones. Okay, that's what I kind of wanted you to say.
• 20:56
  Yes, the high schools Orlando Jones. He this is yes. Somebody texted
• 21:02
  me and said, who's Orlando Jones and I said, it's Orlando Bloom's cousin.
• 21:07
  You know it's I mean at a buck sixty, you know, as
• 21:11
  a sophomore. So what are you sixteen? Maybe fifteen? And you know,
• 21:18
  here we go guys like this, you've got to continue to stack the
• 21:22
  options are take a take a just a random guy, and then you use
• 21:30
  a scholarship for something that could you know, for somebody who may never step
• 21:33
  foot. Guys Michael Hawkins and Kevin Sperry and you know, Darien Coleman,
• 21:41
  somebody's not going to be around. That's and let's just go ahead and say,
• 21:45
  you know, Jackson Arnold to throw him in there. Somebody will not
• 21:51
  not ever seeing one of these guys are going to be two years Heisman next
• 21:53
  one up, Like it's that's that you just can't feel like that's going to
• 21:56
  be something that happens. And the quarterback run we had with with Baker Kyler
• 22:02
  and Jalen, it just guys, that's it's just it's just that doesn't happen.
• 22:08
  It just doesn't happen. I mean, you see with what's his name,
• 22:11
  Jalen Milroe down in Alabama now, like everybody is frustrated as all can
• 22:15
  get out because he's not Bryce Young, He's not Jalen Hurts, he's not
• 22:21
  too a Tuckovaola. So you got I mean, you gotta Kevin Sperry moving
• 22:26
  a school again. We've been assured that this is not a bad deal.
• 22:30
  With Hawkins on campus right now, he's going to have a good opportunity to
• 22:34
  be in there. But I mean, like I said, if the guy
• 22:37
  shows up, it shows that he has heart, he is confident in who
• 22:41
  he is. And we can't sit there and say, like man, Baker
• 22:44
  Mayfield walked in here and said, you know, I'll put my chip on
• 22:47
  the table and any up and play this game and I'm gonna win. That's
• 22:51
  what we want out of every single one of these quarterbacks, is them coming
• 22:53
  in and saying I'm gonna win, and for him to say Oklahoma was his
• 22:59
  dream school. Guys, quarterbacks are going to any any program like Michigan,
• 23:03
  Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia. You know, guys like they're gonna say,
• 23:07
  like that's my dream school. You're gonna hear that quite a bit because
• 23:11
  these are the big dogs on campus. These are the big people in college
• 23:15
  football. These are the names you continue to see a little pivot away from,
• 23:21
  you know, maybe what we saw with Arnold and Sperry, but a
• 23:23
  continuation of the quarterback position is going to be a mobile guy who can throw
• 23:29
  a deep ball and who has the good passes over the middle. That's what
• 23:33
  you need. You cannot have a guy who can't throw the deep ball.
• 23:36
  You cannot have a guy who's not mobile nowadays, you got I mean,
• 23:40
  Peyton Maney is not going to be the quarterback that you need nowadays because the
• 23:44
  athleticism in the defensive linemen and linebackers are just it's just out of control now.
• 23:48
  And you sure as hell, you know don't want to be unable to
• 23:52
  run around. So I mean, like the days of a Landry Jones.
• 23:56
  It's just a tough it's just a tough deal. Now. So with that,
• 24:00
  I've been debating this now I don't know how I don't know how true
• 24:07
  this shall be. But I also am wondering if this is a possibility that
• 24:12
  we could take two quarterbacks in twenty six. Yeah, and I mean kind
• 24:18
  of like the Zebra Hawkins situation. It's right, Yeah, you you may
• 24:23
  have to take a functional person with an arm because I don't think you're going
• 24:27
  to have fifth year seniors who are legacies to your program and an extremely intelligent
• 24:33
  like our our our our legacy quarterback we got in the portal this year that
• 24:38
  those aren't going to happen all the time. You can't have a Casey Thompson
• 24:41
  just roll in. You're going to have to have a guy who can come
• 24:45
  in and you know, has has the opportunity to really work on his craft,
• 24:51
  put his nose down and go. If you're looking for glory and fame
• 24:53
  and spotlight, you know you may have to find go see he can seeking
• 25:00
  all over the place. But I promise you this, it's you know,
• 25:03
  we need a couple of Matt Castle situations. We need a couple of guys
• 25:07
  who never see the field but still get drafted. Yeah, and I know
• 25:11
  that that that the concerns around quarterbacks. Right, you got what you're gonna
• 25:15
  have Jackson Arnold in which actually it was all comment in here a second ago.
• 25:18
  Let me let me see if I can find it really really quick,
• 25:22
  Lance, I actually disagree with you there. I don't see Jackson Arnold.
• 25:25
  Well, I pull like this. If Jackson Old is as good as we
• 25:27
  think he is, he ain't here no more than two years, right,
• 25:32
  he's gone as a as a actually he would be considered a junior at that
• 25:37
  point. So yeah, after his junior season, he would be junior.
• 25:41
  He'd be a true junior because he doesn't have a red shirt. So if
• 25:44
  he's as good as we as advertised junior year, he gotem, he'll go
• 25:48
  end up being able to go pro, and it'll be one of those yes,
• 25:52
  go pro. Because right behind you, we'll have red shirt sophomore or
• 25:56
  yeah, red shirt sophomore, actually wouldn't be wouldn't be reshret sophomore, Uh
• 26:03
  yeah, be restroreds sophomore. Michael Hawkins right there, behind you, ready
• 26:06
  to play, and he'll be able to play for two years, and then
• 26:07
  you'll have redshirt sophomore Kevin Sperry right behind him, and he would play for
• 26:12
  at least two years, if not three, and then you would have whomever's
• 26:17
  in twenty six, twenty and then going down the line from there. If
• 26:21
  there's anybody that I would wonder about transferring, would probably be a Zebra.
• 26:27
  And that's only if he doesn't want to try to compete, right, So
• 26:32
  yeah, CW, I don't think we're at risk of losing him at all.
• 26:34
  He's a freshman. He's not gonna I mean, he can lead,
• 26:37
  but he ain't playing nowhere. Everybody's gonna want him to sit a year and
• 26:41
  learn the system. So may as well learn the system here and then just
• 26:44
  take over when Jackson all goes pro gives him two years behind, two years
• 26:48
  to really train up, and you know, God forbid knocked on wood.
• 26:52
  Hopefully nothing happens to Jackson. But if Jackson comes out for a game or
• 26:55
  a couple of quarters, he's gonna go in and play. We're gonna get
• 26:57
  to see him. Right, he's slowly moving, I'm sorry, now,
• 27:00
  slowly he's quickly moving himself up into QB two status. Now, granted,
• 27:06
  I sense we won't throw him out there and the Wolves that quickly, but
• 27:11
  it'll be between him, him and Casey. I mean, general Booty is
• 27:15
  gonna be there. He's a great Scout quarterback. They've all talked raved about
• 27:18
  him as a Scout team quarterback. I don't know if we see Booty on
• 27:22
  the field, even though I would like to see him on the field,
• 27:23
  I just don't want him to ruin the namesake by playing bad. He plays
• 27:27
  bad, it kind of takes away from the greatness of the brand. We
• 27:30
  keep that brand strong. I love the General brand. Keep it strong,
• 27:36
  right, Let's keep the mystery behind his ability to play, rather than finding
• 27:41
  out if he's good or bad. But if he's good, then of course
• 27:42
  we want to see more of him. But he's bad, then it tarnishes
• 27:45
  what we're doing here. So hey, listen, you know that there's gonna
• 27:48
  be a conversation. If he had to play and he played terribly, somebody
• 27:52
  would have to say, it's my duty to go pull that booty, you
• 27:56
  know, So I'm done with you. I'm done. I'm done. But
• 28:02
  to this point, there was also another another one here who mentioned hold a
• 28:06
  second. Yeah, Lance, No, and that's and that's I can see
• 28:08
  that, but not to say that Jackson Arnold is Kyler Murray. But Kyler
• 28:12
  Murray only spent a year here playing he red shirt. He had to sit
• 28:18
  a year because he actually transferred it in. He played a year and was
• 28:22
  out there, did what he did and left. Right. So now granted
• 28:25
  he had some A and M tape some I mean, does that really count
• 28:29
  his A M tape is basically that Jackson Arnold's freshman year, right, then
• 28:33
  Kyler sat for a year and then he played the next year won the Heisman
• 28:37
  because he's behind Baker. So to me, Jackson Arnold can do that in
• 28:41
  two years. He can make tape. He could if he if he if
• 28:45
  he lights up, if he does what we saw Drake May do, which
• 28:49
  Drake May only play for two years at North Carolina and he's already considered a
• 28:52
  top five draft pick. Yeah, that's I liken to what I've seen at
• 28:59
  a Jackson Arnold to Drake May. And that's just my thought personally, right,
• 29:03
  could be wrong, could be off base, but that's kind of what
• 29:07
  I've seen out of Jackson Arnold's ability in high school and the way he plays
• 29:11
  reminds me of Drake May. The question is if he can reign it in
• 29:14
  beautifully yeah, top he's top ten pick in uh two years and you don't
• 29:22
  Jackson Arnold doesn't even have to play. If Jackson Arnold puts up Dylan Gabriel
• 29:26
  numbers from last year for two years, he's going in top fifteen because you're
• 29:30
  going to see just with his capability, his escapability, he's got the brand
• 29:37
  with the Gatorade Player of the Year, he's you know, one of the
• 29:38
  elite eleven everything like that. He's part of this massive quarterback class with oh
• 29:47
  Man, I can't even handle that one. But he's part of the big
• 29:49
  quarterback class with with Nico and I guess there's gonna be a lot of conversation
• 29:56
  that Malachi Nelson, who's the why did you name? Because he ain't even
• 30:02
  he he played He's played G five bar right now, San Jose State and
• 30:07
  everything like that. But that quarterback that quarterback class was was huge. There.
• 30:11
  You had oh gosh, now I'm forgetting name, Jalen Shata. It
• 30:18
  was another one. So there's a lot of big games in that Dante Moore,
• 30:22
  Yeah, Dante Moore who come into the USC and now is going to
• 30:26
  Oregon. Is that correct? But the reason U c l A. But
• 30:30
  yes, you see, so he's still there. So but Jackson Arnold is
• 30:34
  going to I mean, like like I said, if he puts up Dylan
• 30:37
  Gabriel's stats from last week or last year, then yeah, he's going to
• 30:41
  be fine. So with with the skill positions around and what Emma Jones is
• 30:49
  doing and DeMarco Murray is doing. As Bill Betenbo, you know, really
• 30:55
  sees development out of this twenty four class and we get what we hope to
• 30:59
  get in twenty five. Guys, here we go like it's it's it's it
• 31:03
  is what it is. And yeah, do I think Jackson Arnold can Jackson
• 31:07
  Arnold has the ability to eclipse anything outside of what Baker did. Because Jalen
• 31:14
  and Kyler only had one year, you're going to have to have I mean,
• 31:18
  you're going to have to have two good years of stats. And Jackson's
• 31:22
  I mean he's got it. You guys just got to understand, like I
• 31:25
  mean, that Bowl game, the interception, I don't see the interceptions being
• 31:29
  something that's going to be a season long plague. They were told to go
• 31:33
  out there and play football and just toss the proble and and so Jackson Arnold's
• 31:37
  going to be He's going to be a first round draft pick, like unless
• 31:41
  he is just absolute, completely not what everybody has seen across the program.
• 31:48
  Most times there's been there have been concerns elevated by several people at this point.
• 31:55
  But I mean, listen, nobody, nobody ever criticized Baker for being
• 31:59
  Baker correct exactly. And so, Chuck, to answer your questionnaire, do
• 32:04
  we really think that he could put those numbers? Let me give you some
• 32:07
  intel real quick, right. Nick Foles, former Super Bowl winning quarterback at
• 32:13
  the Philadelphia Eagles. His senior year at Arizona, he threw for forty three
• 32:17
  hundred yards and twenty eight touchdowns in twenty eleven. Who was his offensive coordinator?
• 32:23
  Seth Latrell, Chuck Long, Oh damn, you already said it.
• 32:30
  No, Seth Latrell was his offensive coordinator in Arizona that year, and he
• 32:34
  left there and went to Indiana the next year. So being that his offensive
• 32:37
  coordinator was Seth Latrell in twenty eleven, in the era before we really was
• 32:43
  seeing a whole bunch of air raiding it out. Latrell had this man throw
• 32:46
  for forty three hundred yards and getting himself drafted and going to the NFL,
• 32:51
  and of course later on he won a Super Bowl, you know, after
• 32:53
  Carson Wentz went down and then you know the rest of his career is still
• 32:57
  in limbo. But my point is the offensive coordinate that he had at that
• 33:00
  time he threw for forty three hundred yards. If we can't get that out
• 33:06
  of Jackson Arnot, we probably go ahead and just fire our step the trail
• 33:07
  on the dot, right, you know, barring injury. Jason. Jason
• 33:14
  makes a phenomenal point. He's going against the top fifteen, top twenty five
• 33:19
  defense every single day in practice. So if you see somebody you can't have
• 33:25
  during practice and during the spring game, you can't have your offense light it
• 33:30
  up, in your defense shut it down at the same time that shit doesn't
• 33:32
  happen like you just you can't have that happen. So yeah, Jackson Arnold
• 33:37
  is going to i mean just throwing it out. Like if we played Georgia,
• 33:42
  Tennessee's defensive line is salting their defensive backs not so good. You've got
• 33:50
  Georgia, who is replacing a lot Now they have a bunch of five stars
• 33:53
  Alabama, same thing. So there's probably the defense right now is probably the
• 33:59
  strongest outside of maybe three teams that they're gonna face this year. That means
• 34:06
  a fair point, right, And if we're comparing Oklahoma and Jackson ARLD to
• 34:09
  Iowa, you might as well just start comparing it to the Kansas City Royals
• 34:15
  or something like that, because it's not I mean, this is in Iowa.
• 34:17
  Yeah. And then when Seth went over to North Carolina, he had
• 34:21
  Marquise Williams doing for over three thousand yards. Yeah, he also ran for
• 34:24
  like nine hundred yards, so you know, almost a thousand yards and back
• 34:29
  to back season. So my point is that in your right, Chuck DG
• 34:37
  had a lot of experience a lot. Jackson's coming here young and cold,
• 34:45
  but it's not likely not gonna be having experience, dudes. It's gonna be
• 34:47
  able to do things to help them out. Right. The wide receiver rooms
• 34:51
  got a good year under their belt, two years underneath this regime, but
• 34:54
  one really good year under their belt. Seph Latroull has been here this entire
• 34:58
  time. It's gonna help us right. So, and the last thing,
• 35:00
  I know, somebody mentioned that. Nobody mentioned, you know, the worries
• 35:07
  of Sperry transfer, and I don't see it. I think Spurry is here
• 35:09
  to compete. I don't think freshmen disappear that quickly. I can see sophomores
• 35:15
  and juniors going ahead and throwing the duces. If they see that, their
• 35:19
  chances of plans not. And to be honest, if you go look at
• 35:21
  it today, most of the dudes that are transferred, especially a quarterback,
• 35:24
  are grad transfers because they lost their job to the younger guy. And so
• 35:30
  unless we see somebody, unless we'll see somebody push out Jackson Arnold or you
• 35:37
  know push out like Michael Hawkins, I don't see any of the young quarterbacks
• 35:40
  really leaving. I see somebody probably leaving as a grad transfer though, because
• 35:45
  it's like, all right, you're not ready for the league, but we've
• 35:49
  got a young guy that's lighting it up. We gotta go ahead and move
• 35:51
  forward. So anyway, yeah, thank y'all for joining as usual, hit
• 35:54
  that light. But if you're new to the chance subscribing, if you're listening
• 35:58
  podcast version, great review. Give us five stars. Nigga deserve it.
• 36:02
  Gives five any way and gifted and Chuck, Yes, thank you for having
• 36:05
  a discussion with us man. We always appreciate that it's a good conversation,
• 36:07
  especially newer faces in and giving us some good questions to really go through.
• 36:12
  So we got a lot to dive into. Let's talk about some of the
• 36:15
  older stuff. We prepare ourselves for the spring game. There's a lot to
• 36:17
  talk about here spring game wise. Right. Oh yeah, we didn't talk
• 36:22
  about Michael Fasussi pulling up, did we Did we go on to him?
• 36:25
  We didn't talk about yet. We talked about Michael Fosusi. We got talk
• 36:29
  about Michael Fosusi showing up because it felt like Michael Fasousi showed up out of
• 36:32
  nowhere, right. It was one of those Colin Kennedy reported he was gonna
• 36:36
  show up, and then everybody confirmed Colin's report when they reached out to Fasusi
• 36:39
  and his tent and his team, and the dude drove up from Louisville,
• 36:44
  Texas and did a visit this weekend. Wasn't expected this past weekend, It
• 36:49
  wasn't expected for him to be here. It was one of those Oh okay,
• 36:52
  and he's still gonna come on April twenty fifth, and so I mentioned
• 36:54
  this in the video. So y'all get in a preview of the video that's
• 36:57
  gonna be launching probably after the show on that channel. But for Susie basically
• 37:04
  said in an article at the beginning of the year that I've been to Oklahoma
• 37:07
  a lot. I want to see what everything else is out there, right,
• 37:10
  And so he's been doing the tour and PG is in the chat.
• 37:14
  He can confirm this because this is his his deal. He's been close with
• 37:21
  for Susie and some of the recruits and he's talked to him, but Michael
• 37:25
  decided that he wanted to, you know, take some time to go visit
• 37:30
  and see places. And then now he's back, everybody's thinking, like everybody
• 37:36
  else has got a big lead on Oklahoma olcaholm ain't got no chance to win
• 37:37
  him. Then he randomly randomly showed up to campus this weekend. He's coming
• 37:47
  back on the twenty fifth, He's coming for his visit in June for the
• 37:54
  official So to me, it sounds like there's a really good chance Oklahoma can
• 38:00
  win this. Cool. Do you feel any more confident with that? Yeah?
• 38:13
  For him, to call Oklahoma, you know, on his own accord
• 38:16
  and say I wanna I'm gonna swing by. And then you know, about
• 38:20
  a month before, if you if you put a gun in my head and
• 38:23
  said, what is he doing? I gotta feel like he is putting.
• 38:28
  I don't think that FISUSI is completely just taking away and he's not like doing
• 38:35
  away with all nil conversations and wants nothing to do with it. Those conversations
• 38:38
  are coming. He he is a plug and play guy as a freshman.
• 38:45
  I think that he can come in and start as a freshman, whether it's
• 38:47
  here, whether it's Texas, whether it's the cult down south. It just
• 38:53
  is so this is good. This this, this is nothing but good.
• 38:57
  Sperry has been on top of his Susie for a very very very long time
• 39:01
  and Sperry is still recruiting for Oklahoma. He moved back home. I know
• 39:06
  somebody was asking the chat because his mom stayed back there, and so there's
• 39:09
  nothing, there's nothing bad, Like you don't just move up to Oklahoma for
• 39:13
  a year and then offensive coordinator go somewhere and you're like, oh man,
• 39:15
  that was completely unforeseen, like Levy had been, you know, interviewing for
• 39:21
  jobs. This is good guys. And I know that there's a lot of
• 39:25
  when you see any type of sporting event and it's a big you know,
• 39:30
  it's it's a big deal. The commentator's announcers always say, you know,
• 39:34
  if they can just withstand this this what's the word I'm looking for Jay withstand
• 39:39
  this flory of emotion early, then there you go. So I think that
• 39:45
  that's I mean, if anything, it's him coming back and saying, all
• 39:46
  right, this is what I got. You know, guys, I love
• 39:49
  Oklahoma. He's got a great relationship, but he is going to have people
• 39:53
  around him. So I still believe Susie ends up as a Sooner. I
• 39:59
  really still believe that he ends up as a Sooner. I think that there's
• 40:00
  a conversation going on with a lot of these offensive linemen, just like there
• 40:05
  were with a defensive lineman last year. And you know, he sees the
• 40:08
  opportunity to maybe link up with the Babylola and a ty Tate Highwood, you
• 40:15
  know, Oga Moro. There's guys in there, and so I think that,
• 40:20
  like I said, on the defensive line, you gotta have more than
• 40:22
  five guys, you got to have ten, eleven guys that you have very
• 40:27
  extreme comfort playing with. So, yeah, Jay, I don't know how
• 40:30
  you feel about it. But a recruit, a top a top one hundred
• 40:35
  recruit, a top offensive lineman, massive need for your positions, comes to
• 40:40
  you and says, hey, I just want to pop in and just hang
• 40:43
  out with you know you guys completely You say, do you need us to
• 40:46
  pick you up from the airport? Uh? Do you need us to give
• 40:51
  you a little brigade, you know, to usher you into town? Whatever?
• 40:54
  But he is a he is a massive, massive piece for this class,
• 41:00
  and if we can get him, that's the cornerstone on the offensive line
• 41:01
  that we are pushing for. Adding him with some others another four and another
• 41:06
  five started, we're in pursuit of that. We actually have some really good
• 41:08
  opportunities with we do that. Yeah, yeah, of course we know that
• 41:17
  at that point, Bill beating Boat is cooking with with some hot stuff.
• 41:21
  So let's talk about spring game, right, And Mike mentioned this at the
• 41:27
  beginning of the show. Mike, thank you for posting this up here.
• 41:30
  There was, of course, you know, something that kind of jumped out
• 41:32
  to me too when we sinked a few guys. You've got I can Kumi
• 41:38
  as well as you live. For Rouke in cast, I kin Kumi's in
• 41:43
  a booth and he was on a scooter. And then for Ruke was in
• 41:45
  an actual hardcast where he is done until the fall. It looks like right
• 41:53
  fractured his foot based upon the reports from I think George Stoyer tweeted it out.
• 42:00
  Uh, kind of threw me off, kind of sad and be so
• 42:01
  cool man, how do you feel like his injury impacts that room? I'll
• 42:08
  give you first DIBs on this one, because yeah, I'm not concerned.
• 42:15
  Do you know? And uh, what was it? Varsity Blues coach Lance
• 42:20
  comes in the ballgame at the end of the coach end of the deal.
• 42:22
  You know, his hurt his taurus knee and then he comes in steps in
• 42:28
  for so for Faruk, get your coach on, brother, like you have
• 42:31
  knowledge, you have stuff. So if you really are a team first guy
• 42:36
  like I have heard reported and speaking reporting, freaking, George Stoye is just
• 42:39
  an absolute boss. Like if you guys do not Colin Kennedy George Stoya,
• 42:45
  those are two guys that they are just good at what they do. So,
• 42:50
  George, we had you on the show. We love you, buddy.
• 42:53
  Yeah, you get him back on her man, I've been trying to
• 42:54
  get him back on her. He been playing. Yeah, so I'll uh,
• 42:59
  I'll ping him. But uh but George, George is just absolutely doing
• 43:02
  doing a phenomenal job. So uh with Farruke being gone, I don't think
• 43:06
  it does anything. I mean, you were seeing Nick Anderson held out and
• 43:10
  my man Jayden Gibson is I mean, he he wants, he wants to
• 43:15
  be Megatron part two. He he wants He looks like he has a goal
• 43:21
  in mind. So with Ferruk there, you go, like, get out
• 43:23
  there, coach the team, work with the work with the guys. You
• 43:28
  know, get in there as there's there's gonna be conversations around, you know,
• 43:31
  mistakes, and I promise you people people respect the hell out of Jelo
• 43:36
  Fruk. So with that one, that's how I feel about that same right
• 43:42
  with the way that EMMITTT. Jones has built that room again, we need
• 43:45
  to go ahead and get Emmy Jones another race. We've talked about that on
• 43:47
  numerous times. That's kind of like a thing on the show if you knew
• 43:50
  to the channel, we talk about Emmy Jones getting raised on a regular basis,
• 43:52
  mainly because Emmy Jones built a room that's ridiculous, right. My favorite
• 43:58
  thing about it too is we've been playing around with a lot of the wide
• 44:00
  receivers, right you got so, Jelil Ferruk has been out there being basically
• 44:06
  a veteran presence him Billy Bowman. There's been a lot of articles written lately
• 44:10
  in which I need to make some videos on. It's just talking about how
• 44:14
  a lot of the older Sooners have really reached back to the young guys and
• 44:19
  really trying to help train, groom them, prepare them for even what to
• 44:22
  expect in the sec even though some of them ain't seen the Sez, but
• 44:25
  some of them have the best part about it is though they really have taken
• 44:30
  uponst themselves to be the help be leaders and groom the next set of leaders
• 44:36
  for this team. So for Ruke being out fracturing his foot in practice saddens
• 44:39
  me because I need him to have his redemption Act right. This is an
• 44:43
  opportunity for him to redeem himself from what happened last season, especially those two
• 44:49
  fumbles against Arizona and in the bowl game. That game was a win.
• 44:52
  If you don't fumbl those balls right. Well, from there, you take
• 45:00
  him helping teach. He said. Nick's been held out, you know,
• 45:04
  to make sure he's healthy. He's gonna be coming that good. But Jay
• 45:07
  and Gibson's been showing out. Dion burs is already taking upon himself to say,
• 45:09
  I'm starting, y'all, y'all ain't gonna stop me. Good luck.
• 45:13
  Find somebody to take me, take the job for me, please go ahead.
• 45:15
  And he's talking mad noise in practice. Here's a name that's gonna be
• 45:21
  amazingly shocking to y'all. JJ Hester former Toulsa boy. Former What was that
• 45:25
  Missouri college? Where did you asking from? Yes? Missouri? Yeah,
• 45:31
  I think it was at Missouri. He can't he's out here showing out.
• 45:37
  I hey, he's six four, ain't fast. So going with this,
• 45:42
  guys. Then you got all the young guys out there showing out. So
• 45:45
  you got you got your quest ped away and Brendon Thompson the speech just doing
• 45:47
  their thing. You've got freshman Ivan carry On, who looks like he may
• 45:52
  not get an opportunity to red shirt because he's just that much of a beast.
• 45:57
  The wide receiver room is pretty stacked it's probably one of the more stacked
• 46:00
  rooms in college football, just with the talent that we have Nick six and
• 46:05
  then Gibson out here showing out as if he wants a spot. Imagine this
• 46:08
  lineup, Coop, here's a lineup that just made my mouth water. You
• 46:14
  put Nick Anderson out there next to Jad and Gibson. From those two,
• 46:19
  you line up on the inside and Ivan carry on, and that's your three
• 46:23
  wide. If you decide to put a tight end in there, Von Mitchell,
• 46:27
  So that's six four, six' five, six' five tight end
• 46:31
  and then six' six in the slot. Decided to go four wide receivers
• 46:35
  and no running back. You bring in out there a JJ Hash who's also
• 46:38
  six y four. Who's defending that? Who's stopping it? And that's just
• 46:45
  the height guys, right, I'm just going tall dudes for this one,
• 46:49
  because of course we can throw all the four to four speed at wide receiver
• 46:52
  right behind it. But cool, who's stopping that? Tell me who's stopping
• 46:58
  it? It's I mean, you think about the two minute drill, like
• 47:01
  at the end of the halftime, or when you got to just throw a
• 47:04
  hell Mary, like would you not like to throw a little five wide out
• 47:08
  there with Gibson Anderson, dion Burg's bower sharp throw a carry on out there.
• 47:15
  I mean, it doesn't matter. And then you know, let's just
• 47:19
  pretend that Xavier Robinson learned that you can catch the football. You throw him
• 47:22
  out there too, and so yeah, I mean, like you said,
• 47:27
  Jay, we've got the height, but then you've also got the the shifty
• 47:32
  route running inside slot guys. This I mean, show me a deeper wide
• 47:38
  receiver room in the country, like I just don't see a deeper one in
• 47:44
  the country, Like is Michigan. I mean, does Ohio State have a
• 47:46
  bunch of five stars? Sure, yeah, a bunch of They've got a
• 47:51
  bunch of five stars, and they're going to continue to ball out. I
• 47:54
  mean it's once again like it is to do that quarterback run. Eventually you're
• 47:59
  going to run out of these five stars or the one of these guys are
• 48:02
  just not going to produce. And they can be good, but I mean
• 48:06
  we saw with weast Bridges and hazel Wood. You can throw five guys out
• 48:09
  there, that's great, and Anthony will be playing. I would say that
• 48:14
  if Andreil Anthony, you're you're most likely end out with with Andrel Anthony is
• 48:22
  probably him slowly starting to come back around conference season and maybe catching his speed
• 48:29
  towards the end of the season. He is an absolute luxury at this point
• 48:32
  though. Guys, he's a first round I mean he's a first first to
• 48:37
  third round wide receiver in this draft, I mean in the in the NFL.
• 48:42
  So to say that, like, hey, listen, and maybe a
• 48:45
  third round a third round wide receiver as a luxury, I mean, that's
• 48:50
  that's not bad, right, So you've got to I mean everything, And
• 48:55
  I know it's been forever since we've brought this up, I mean at least
• 48:59
  seven minutes, but it's signed for him to get a raise. Yeah,
• 49:02
  that's the thing that I'm ready for. Let's go ahead and get this man
• 49:07
  his rais again because he's done what we needed him to do by building a
• 49:10
  wide receiver room that we're not concerned about. Now we talk about wide receivers
• 49:15
  and of course getting excited about the big boys going into the zone. Well,
• 49:20
  Laurie, no, not that he's not gonna play. He's just not
• 49:22
  healthy yet now, grant it. The good thing about this is I haven't
• 49:28
  even mentioned Andrew Anthony yet. And Laurie thank you for pointing it out.
• 49:30
  Because Andrew Anthony is coming off of that knee surgery and once he is about
• 49:36
  nine healthy, think he'll I think he'll go into the fall at around eighty
• 49:43
  eighty five percent, maybe even ninety. He may be up there, but
• 49:46
  he's not walking around in a knee brace. That excites me. I don't
• 49:50
  think he's running drills and stuff yet, but he's not out there on a
• 49:52
  brace. I think he walks into the fall and it's just gonna be a
• 49:58
  very, very stacked and busy room. And I'm very happy for us on
• 50:02
  that. That's I'm happy for us and that we needed that coop. We
• 50:06
  needed a ruin like that. And again, no massively dominant RPO game means
• 50:14
  that you can slide some of these guys, guys in and out. No,
• 50:17
  nobody forgot a caravan. Nobody has forgotten about Farrouke and what he could
• 50:23
  do. But I mean, after four years, I think some people are
• 50:28
  just would rather see a peedaway get his opportunity or you know. But he
• 50:32
  did have I mean, he had a disastrous you know game against Arizona,
• 50:38
  and that's the last thing in our mouth. I mean, my picture for
• 50:43
  him for the for the twenty twenty three season is still going to be him
• 50:45
  jawing at every single one of these of the Texas guys coming out like that.
• 50:51
  That's going to be forever and sooner. Lord like that. It is
• 50:52
  what it is. But like Woodie, you know again, I'd be saying
• 50:58
  if Jonah Lalalu was on on this team, like I love you, brother,
• 51:01
  but it's it's time for the new and you know, it just is
• 51:07
  what it is. And I and I and I really do believe that Faruk
• 51:12
  probably under Emmett Jones from the get is probably a much better player. But
• 51:16
  it's just I mean, he he's not overly tall, and he's not elite
• 51:22
  on any of it. He's not an elite runner or out runner. He
• 51:24
  doesn't have elite speed, he's an elite size, and he doesn't have elite
• 51:29
  hands. He is good on all of those things. And so now you're
• 51:34
  seeing Brendan Thompson has elite speed, Jaquest Petaway has elite changed direction. I
• 51:38
  even't carry on his elite size, like there's so many elites coming through here.
• 51:44
  Yeah, And I mean, if we're going, I'm gonna keep it
• 51:46
  a buck. I kind of need him to to Can he come back?
• 51:51
  We can use another I like Co. I'd like if I if I could
• 51:54
  somehow, you know, I don't know Yah to go back in. I'm
• 52:00
  gonna I'll text Isaiah and just be like, any chance you got any of
• 52:01
  that eligibility left? Brother? You know, hey, man, lets ask
• 52:06
  that question. If you bring back one player on defense from last year's SEE
• 52:09
  team, what would you bring. I'd probably bring cold too, probably Covid
• 52:13
  met number one person. CO. I'm trying to think if there's anybody else.
• 52:19
  I think for Arrue Kesley effort and that's not wrong. I think that's
• 52:24
  the it's not it's not wrong because he really does. I can handle people
• 52:32
  with great attitude, great team players, and you know, with great effort
• 52:37
  guys making a mistake. What I don't want to see is people who aren't
• 52:42
  trying very hard come out and not make him and then make a mistake Like
• 52:45
  that's what I don't want to see. So but again, we are well
• 52:49
  past that, with the with the the the c D, the competitive depth,
• 52:54
  you know, we're well passed. We're I mean outside of the offensive
• 52:59
  line, we are well past it. You know, you could say that
• 53:01
  maybe more about the defensive line. I think we just don't have the experience
• 53:06
  or the tenure there. But yeah, and that's exactly what it is,
• 53:12
  Chuck, You're spot on. We're gonna see the best player at the time.
• 53:15
  And the good thing is is that it gives the opportunity for the young
• 53:17
  guys to catch up to the speed of the college game coming from high school.
• 53:22
  Right. I know a lot of us get excited and really would like
• 53:24
  to see some freshmen play. See a lot of freshmen play. That is
• 53:29
  not always a good thing, right, Usually teams have a whole bunch of
• 53:31
  young dudes playing are usually the ones that are losing games, especially close ones.
• 53:37
  It's just very easy to tricker a young freshman because you know they're not
• 53:39
  used to the speed of the game. Yeah, and understanding schemes. You
• 53:43
  need that experience. That's the best part about college is in comparison to the
• 53:46
  NFL, NFL is so much more. It's a higher level of chess in
• 53:52
  comparison to college. But with college, you only get so many years to
• 53:57
  be in there, and because you only got so many years, it requires
• 54:00
  a lot more. It's a lot harder to think through it. Right,
• 54:04
  It's a lot harder to really grasp it immediately. Where NFL after a couple
• 54:07
  of years and you're in the league at four fifth year, if you're great,
• 54:09
  you're great. You're gonna just dominate and you're gonna make it's gonna be
• 54:12
  it's gonna be another it's gonna be a deeper chest match for the coaches to
• 54:15
  figure out how to scheme like I mean, teams were scheming for Aaron Donald
• 54:19
  like crazy, which is wild, right, he ain't even three hundred pounds.
• 54:22
  He have their forcing teams to scheme for him. So that's my point.
• 54:27
  I love that college does that to where you know, you don't have
• 54:30
  to scheme as much and the players don't have as much experience, but at
• 54:36
  the same time, it's still very high end and high high quality football.
• 54:39
  So I said that offensive line, yeah, we got a lot of See
• 54:47
  Everett is out, Troy Everett is done until what fall. We talked about
• 54:52
  that last show about a week or so ago, two weeks ago. Probably
• 54:58
  I can Coomy is in a boot. So so we got a lot of
• 55:01
  needs online. I think the offensive line, I think the defensive line,
• 55:05
  we could use an additional three hundred plus pound or probably somebody in a three
• 55:08
  three ten range. Possibly I think Blendy. I mentioned a boy him,
• 55:15
  I'm Bleedy. I'm sorry, Philip Leedy, the defensive lineman from Indiana,
• 55:20
  the grad transfer that will be here for the spring game. We need an
• 55:24
  additional helm, but bigger to go on the defensive line, so we'll get
• 55:30
  that from the portal. We definitely need to get our hands on a another
• 55:35
  set of offensive line and a center will be nice and name. And you
• 55:38
  asked this question about the kid from SMU man, I really do hope we
• 55:43
  can go after him and get them. I know that, I know that
• 55:45
  we're in the market. The good thing is, as I mentioned Tuesday,
• 55:52
  Tuesday, we will have a lot of news around the portal, who's in,
• 56:00
  who's gonna be available, and who's gonna go after who, Because that's
• 56:02
  the official moment that can go in. We'll probably hear about it all through
• 56:07
  the weekend going up into the spring game. Of because I put to you
• 56:12
  like this, some of those kids that jump in the portal will probably fly
• 56:16
  out or find a way to get up here for the spring game, see
• 56:21
  what they see and wonder if that's an opportunity. So coop as we think
• 56:23
  about that. Let's talk about portal wise. Any anybody that jumped out to
• 56:29
  you that you that you would like for Oklahoma to go after, that's you
• 56:31
  know already enter their name. No. I mean, as of right now,
• 56:36
  I don't think that the Samadela kid, I don't think the OU is
• 56:38
  going to kick the tires on that one. They don't need a young,
• 56:43
  unproven guy. You need. You need somebody who's who's been out there.
• 56:46
  So I mean, if you can get somebody like a Walter Rouse, that's
• 56:51
  that's it. That like an absolute that's what you want to do. I
• 56:55
  think that the Bleedy kid sounds I mean like it just sounds like he's coming
• 57:00
  here. So but what is he? You know, does does de Saun
• 57:06
  mccol and know him? Because I guess they played there, right? You
• 57:09
  played there? Yeah, So so there's there's you know, the son's gonna
• 57:15
  have some you know, something to say to be involving the group over there.
• 57:17
  So Monni, my man, what's up? Brother? So but outside
• 57:22
  of that, you're gonna hear an absolute full set of names. But here's
• 57:27
  what you Oh, you want somebody to come in, and you're gonna have
• 57:30
  to come in and win a game. When win that position, you're not
• 57:34
  gonna come in. You're not gonna if anybody is bagging for this light late.
• 57:38
  Oh he's going to have something available and it's gonna be pretty much to
• 57:42
  take it or leave it. Like you're not walking into the transfer portal with
• 57:45
  this much desperation going, Hey, I just want good effort, you know,
• 57:49
  and we'll give you the same in aisle. That's I don't think that's
• 57:51
  going to happen. I think that they we're gonna hit it with with some
• 57:52
  in ile. But and I'm maintain offensive line is still the defensive line.
• 57:59
  You just need a body just for for numbers, but everything offensive line is
• 58:05
  the only one that you I think are willing to go be a little ridiculous
• 58:08
  in this in this portal. But yeah, it's uh. I don't know
• 58:15
  of any other names. There's a couple of whispers out there, and I
• 58:19
  will not mess with whispers. When you know, if you're in the portal,
• 58:22
  I'll say your name. Oh yeah, we'll talk all about you.
• 58:24
  I'm not gonna say and listen, do not if anybody brings up any specific
• 58:30
  defensive tackles out of A and M where I'll fight you. Well, you
• 58:37
  can do that. The bad part about it is, I know everybody has
• 58:40
  everybody's mentioned that name. But now that we're in the SEC, we can't
• 58:44
  touch him unless he's a graduate. M hm. Remember that. So for
• 58:49
  for those for the uninitiated here, if a kid in the SEC decides to
• 58:54
  transfer, he cannot transfer within the SEC because the conference rules, not NCAA
• 59:02
  rules. The conference is the rule that you cannot accept other SEC players in
• 59:07
  the portal unless they're a graduate. So GEP that notated in mind. So
• 59:14
  as you think about and you see and hear about these players hitting the portal,
• 59:17
  if they ain't in they in the SEC, we ain't touching them.
• 59:21
  Why because we following the rules for fall sports. So because it'll be a
• 59:24
  fall sport kid that will be coming in the portal, we do follow the
• 59:28
  rules now. Even though we're not officially there until July one, we do
• 59:31
  officially follow that rule right now. So, uh, your main little from
• 59:38
  the west hit the portal, that may be someone to consider. All right,
• 59:45
  So since he has a question here, what's going on? Sincey thanks
• 59:47
  for pulling up, because one to know if our QB was going to be
• 59:51
  good and if we have a good QB two as backup, we do,
• 59:57
  Jackson o'nold's gonna be solid. I think he's gonna live up to the hype.
• 1:00:00
  Backup wise, I mean, Casey Thompson is not bad the way that
• 1:00:05
  he's been slinging it in the in practices, Harry looks good, man.
• 1:00:12
  That man looks good. So you got Casey. He's got to get healthy
• 1:00:15
  though. But number two probably is Michael Hawkins, the freshman. He looks
• 1:00:22
  absurd based upon all the reports I've seen a little video quarterback wise, Sissy,
• 1:00:29
  we're good. I think it'll be really good. And I think that
• 1:00:34
  what you might end up seeing is if you I think, if Casey's healthy,
• 1:00:40
  Casey is your backup by you know, on paper. But I think
• 1:00:45
  that if anything happens, if Hawkins continues out through the fall and we need
• 1:00:51
  something, and I'm talking a long term like, I think if Jackson Arnold
• 1:00:55
  I don't know, gets a helmet to helmet hit or something like that in
• 1:01:00
  a non conference game, I think you might run you know, you could
• 1:01:04
  run Hawkins out there for a little you know, clean up or something like
• 1:01:07
  that. I mean, I think you throw both of the guys out there
• 1:01:09
  because you want to see what happens when live bullets. If Jackson Arnold goes
• 1:01:14
  down, then you're just trying to make it through the season. Like there's
• 1:01:17
  Michael Hawkins is not going to lead us to a playoff or towards competition.
• 1:01:22
  Then it's just then it's just trust your defense, trust your run game,
• 1:01:27
  and make sure your quarterback can go out there. Then we're playing Baltimore Ravens
• 1:01:30
  type of offense. So yeah, it's I mean Casey Thompson coming in for
• 1:01:37
  a half of football. This is not going to be like Baker Mayfield going
• 1:01:40
  out and then Trevor Knight throwing you know, Warren Burners against TCU, and
• 1:01:45
  that's just holding on for dear life. That's not gonna that's not our that's
• 1:01:47
  not our quarterback room anymore. We don't have an ou Texas from two years
• 1:01:52
  ago. So there you go. And I mean as far as like what
• 1:01:55
  I do know, Yeah, Trevor, I mean Trevor Knight when he came
• 1:02:00
  and when Baker Mayfield went out at halftime for the concussion. I was at
• 1:02:02
  that game, and Trevor Knight maybe through two good balls. I mean,
• 1:02:07
  it looked like ou Texas from two years ago. So on top of the
• 1:02:19
  yeah, So to go with that, yeah, I think I think Michael
• 1:02:28
  does a lot more clean up than anything. So we'll move on from that
• 1:02:30
  portion of a good question I was asking here as well, Chuck, great
• 1:02:34
  question. Do we think of any guys hitting the portal? Now, I'm
• 1:02:37
  gonna tell you all this real quick on it. You'll hear me preach this
• 1:02:45
  going forward. I don't see any of our guys hitting the portal this year.
• 1:02:51
  I do see a bunch of guys hitting the portal in December, though.
• 1:02:53
  I think once the season completes, we see some people hit the portal.
• 1:02:59
  And that's just me being honest because I think at that point, I
• 1:03:00
  feel like a lot of these kids, especially the ones that b B brought
• 1:03:04
  in, they kind of want to see how this plays out. They want
• 1:03:07
  to see the opportunities come. They want to see what it looks like.
• 1:03:14
  I since that's what's gonna happen. Cool. I think that Davis Beblell's not
• 1:03:27
  even on the team anymore. If I'm not mistaken, He's yeah, he
• 1:03:30
  went South Carolina or South Carolina. So all right, so I just make
• 1:03:37
  sure everybody else knows what's going on, because I don't want someone to be
• 1:03:40
  like, oh yeah, Jane Coop said, Davis Bell's gonna get some time,
• 1:03:44
  so maybe a tied end, so uh yeah, listen gains. Option
• 1:03:50
  one is making them a you know, a walk on preferred giving them nil.
• 1:03:57
  That's going to be option one. I think that option two is.
• 1:04:00
  I mean, you've got guys like a Hester. I mean, yes,
• 1:04:05
  he's healthy, but you've been here for three or four years. It's it's
• 1:04:10
  I mean, maybe he says, listen, it's I gotta go somewhere else.
• 1:04:15
  You have a couple of the other you know, running I mean the
• 1:04:17
  people that were not hearing anything about on the offensive line. Maybe one of
• 1:04:21
  them disappears, you know, maybe uh a Marcus Strong. You know,
• 1:04:26
  you always want to pause when it's first year guys, because you just never
• 1:04:30
  know. And we've pretty much processed everybody else, and everybody else sees this
• 1:04:34
  year as this is their year for opportunity. So let's I will say that
• 1:04:40
  I don't think that we're gonna have any surprises at all. I just really
• 1:04:45
  don't. I think after the year, yeah, we're gonna have some surprises,
• 1:04:48
  and you know, just you're you're again, this is not David aguebu
• 1:04:53
  leaving to go to Houston play a different position. You're gonna have guys that
• 1:04:56
  you are absolutely fired up about, like a feel Pachatti. And you know,
• 1:05:00
  Phil, he is a guy who could come in here and be a
• 1:05:03
  legit, you know, three year starter at linebacker. He's got a lot
• 1:05:08
  of guys in front of him, and he's coming off of a knee surgery.
• 1:05:11
  So you know, at that point does he maybe head back home?
• 1:05:15
  And that's where we're at as a team now, is you're gonna see some
• 1:05:17
  guys that you don't want to leave this team head out versus a Pat Field.
• 1:05:21
  So you're going just freaking I don't know, become a grandfather and graduate
• 1:05:26
  or something like we got to get you off the team, or you know,
• 1:05:30
  or a bookie. Guys, we got a lot of talent here.
• 1:05:35
  Town's big and so Mike, thank you so much for the two bucks my
• 1:05:39
  man always donated to the channel. Have a question Meg, he news on
• 1:05:44
  our running back? Meg what hey, don't you know, don't you do
• 1:05:46
  it? Don't you do it? Hey? Calmyell Phil down. But I
• 1:05:51
  am excited about the fact that I've been here, meg has been getting some
• 1:05:55
  run. So y'all know Mecca Megway. He's the big, yoked up running
• 1:05:58
  back that we've seen in pitches and stuff. If you're on the channel,
• 1:06:00
  go look you'll see in the community, I post a pitch of other running
• 1:06:02
  backs. It looks like they feed them very very well. Now Megwa came
• 1:06:06
  in here yoked, but he had that bad knee situation at Washington, which
• 1:06:11
  is kind of fascinating because he's actually suing University of Washington because of the way
• 1:06:14
  that they treated him during that knee situation. So now he's here Alklahoma.
• 1:06:17
  He walked on. We took care of him knee wise. So I'll say
• 1:06:21
  this, Coop, seen the pitches of them, I'm hearing he getting some
• 1:06:28
  run. The running back room seems like it's okay, but it also seems
• 1:06:34
  like we're still battling. We're overcoming injury. I don't think anybody's hurt.
• 1:06:39
  I think everybody's still getting past it. Like the Javante Barnes tow injury supposedly
• 1:06:44
  was pretty bad and which he had the surgery, which is why you didn't
• 1:06:46
  see him much of last season. But it sounds like he's back to about
• 1:06:50
  his form that he was right before Florida State. So I'm assuming Javonte Barnes
• 1:06:56
  is going to be out there Chuck is doing Salt Chuck things. Uh,
• 1:07:02
  Franklin, I've heard mixed reviews on him, but I heard that he's made
• 1:07:06
  some big breaking plays. The question is is that is he physically ready for
• 1:07:12
  the grind that comes from playing in the SEC, especially for to Marco Murray,
• 1:07:15
  because Marco Murray don't play about, you know, not completing your plays,
• 1:07:19
  completing your route, doing all your stuff right. Then you gotta move
• 1:07:24
  on from there into Caleb Picks, in which everybody is saying Hicks not only
• 1:07:29
  looks good, but hesically looks good, like looks real good. He's one
• 1:07:36
  of them that jumped out to me like cool. I was like, all
• 1:07:40
  right, you ready to get a young pups run? And then, of
• 1:07:43
  course, you know, we got a few other running backs in the room.
• 1:07:45
  But I think we're all right now. Granted, I thought it was
• 1:07:48
  fascinating that our name did end up with that transfer running back from Oregon State.
• 1:07:56
  That did intrigue me as to why we ended up as a finalist,
• 1:08:00
  Like if we actually reached out, I'm wondering if they're trying to make sure
• 1:08:03
  they do want another like number one running back just in case, because you
• 1:08:12
  know, we still got two dudes that injury wise, with three dudes,
• 1:08:15
  actually, if you look at it, you got Salt Chuck who had hamstring
• 1:08:17
  injury issues, Javonte Barnes who had the surgery and he's still trying to get
• 1:08:24
  back there, and then Megua with the neat stuff. You really only got
• 1:08:28
  Hicks and Franklin. Who's really got running backs that you know are healthy.
• 1:08:30
  Well, then of course a freshman Daviy Robinson. And then when Taylor Tatum
• 1:08:33
  showed up the summer right and Andy Basses had knee surgery, he's gone into
• 1:08:38
  next year cool running back wise, does it make sense to go after another
• 1:08:44
  one? No? No, I mean the Oregon State guy. That's a
• 1:08:49
  guy that, like, if you're a running back away from making a real
• 1:08:53
  national championship run, you go after him like he's an absolute vault. But
• 1:09:00
  you stay with this. Do we have Adrian Peterson to Marco Murray Joe Mixon
• 1:09:05
  on campus? We don't have that guy. We don't we don't have that
• 1:09:09
  guy, But I think we have better than Alan Patrick Chris Brown and Kewan
• 1:09:14
  Jones. I think it's somewhere between those two and I'm I'm sorry, but
• 1:09:18
  Kewan Jones was a great running back. Alan Patrick was a great running back.
• 1:09:24
  So no, no shot at those guys. But I mean, if
• 1:09:26
  there's just a separation between eighty and ap and so, I mean, you're
• 1:09:31
  gonna have Salt Chuck at number one. Javonte Barnes is ripped off a sick
• 1:09:38
  sty yard run at some point Saint Franklin ran off. So we don't have
• 1:09:45
  Adrian Peterson. We don't we don't have that. None of these guys are
• 1:09:47
  going to get drafted in the first round. So what we will have though
• 1:09:51
  is we are going to We're going to have a loaded group. So it's
• 1:09:58
  health. We just got to stay healthy. If Don Whaley in there too,
• 1:10:01
  yeah, so I'm to for that's a good one too. But or
• 1:10:05
  a d d oh gosh played on the Chiefs. Uh uh, super super
• 1:10:14
  fast had a huge long against Texas, was on the Chiefs for a while
• 1:10:17
  set out during COVID year in the NFL. Who I'll think of a second,
• 1:10:30
  but he is extremely, extremely, extremely fast. And there's another guy
• 1:10:34
  with the same name in the so it'll come. So yeah, so Williams,
• 1:10:40
  Yeah, uh Dede Williams. What DEDI is what he was called when
• 1:10:45
  he was at college. But I digress. So, uh, Taylor Tatum
• 1:10:49
  is a guy that you I mean, I don't think that you have any
• 1:10:53
  dependency on him this year. So we just want to we just want to
• 1:10:57
  do this. So no, we're not taking Alli Gordon, We're not taking
• 1:11:00
  uh, anybody from anywhere. I don't think, I mean, unless there
• 1:11:03
  is health issues, but I think that you just got too much. Now
• 1:11:06
  if you see this running back room continue on this year like it did last
• 1:11:13
  year, you see some transfers. Damien Damien Williams. There you go,
• 1:11:15
  thank you, Richard. There is Davy Oh yeah yeah yeah he played,
• 1:11:20
  he played, Yes, he did play for That's crazy. That wow.
• 1:11:24
  The Chiefs like he's I think it was the first one that they had.
• 1:11:30
  And then in twenty nineteen because he because COVID, he was a COVID sitout
• 1:11:33
  and then he came back and they had drafted a homeboy out of LSU and
• 1:11:39
  so yeah, oh yeah, a long story. Yeah, Kyle who hasn't
• 1:11:44
  played a good game since he played OU and the Sugar Bowl so there's that.
• 1:11:49
  But yeah, no, this running back room is solid. And what
• 1:11:54
  you just want to see is guys make Like when you're running the running backs,
• 1:12:00
  job is to have good vision and make the first guy miss if it's
• 1:12:05
  set up correctly. They need to be able to make the first guy miss.
• 1:12:08
  And that's what we've had issues with Eric Gray's first year versus his second
• 1:12:13
  year. Is the second year when he was our entire offense venables first year,
• 1:12:16
  he could actually make people miss in the backfield, and that's an issue
• 1:12:20
  that Javonte Barnes has had massive, massive problems with. I mean, that's
• 1:12:26
  between sides of health, that's it. And so now with these guys healthy,
• 1:12:30
  hopefully they can get out there. And like I said when we were
• 1:12:33
  talking about the running backs coming into this year, when we were still you
• 1:12:38
  know, had all the targets in front of us, is you talk about
• 1:12:41
  guys who can come and share the load. Because running backs to life are
• 1:12:45
  so are so short. These guys need to work together and need to be
• 1:12:48
  able to go in, bang out some good plays and then come off the
• 1:12:51
  field and let another dude come in. I am excited about Megua because he
• 1:12:56
  is a muscle hamster, and he is going to I mean, listen,
• 1:13:00
  if the guy's knee is healthy. This is a guy who looks like,
• 1:13:04
  all right here, we're going back in Oregon running back punched the fan ran
• 1:13:10
  on the field, blunt, Lagarrett blunt Like, that's who Megua reminds me
• 1:13:16
  of because he was just an absolute ball of muscle. So it's it,
• 1:13:21
  it is. And so you know, when Tatum gets here, I think
• 1:13:25
  it should be late June, early July. He's going to have to come
• 1:13:29
  in, get in football shape, and he's going to have I mean,
• 1:13:32
  because Taylor Tatum, he is a one cut, go guy, and he
• 1:13:36
  is a little bit more He's a little bit more athletic version of Sawchuck,
• 1:13:43
  more of a running back. But Hicks looks like he was made, you
• 1:13:46
  know, in a factory, and so he looks like an absolute just superstar,
• 1:13:54
  you know, ready to come out. So we will see some good
• 1:13:56
  running back options this year. Agreed. Agreed, and so let's wrap it
• 1:14:00
  up linebackers. Manti asked the question the nerves around losing our guy Phil Pachatti,
• 1:14:10
  and I'm beyond I don't think we lose him. I think the big
• 1:14:14
  someone mentioned this this the one candidate would be there possibly is gonna be.
• 1:14:17
  I got Kobe McKenzie, but it sounds like he's dating a softball player,
• 1:14:21
  and I know that he's a big BB guy, so I don't see him
• 1:14:25
  going either, especially since I know he's been rotating a lot. I don't.
• 1:14:29
  I don't think Phil leaves because he was hurt last year towards a c
• 1:14:31
  L. He's still rehappy, still getting his body going, and I think
• 1:14:34
  that he needs to. He's gonna want to put some tape together before he
• 1:14:39
  just goes and bolts. He he comes across as a guy that would do
• 1:14:42
  that first before just bouncing. I don't. But I don't see anybody in
• 1:14:45
  the linebacker room leaving yet. Shane maybe, but Shane, if he as
• 1:14:55
  a grad transfer, I can see it. If he's graduating or graduated,
• 1:15:00
  I can totally see if he ain't graduated. I don't see Shane leaving.
• 1:15:02
  He's been pretty dedicated to Oklahoma as he's been moving down the depth chart.
• 1:15:10
  Same thing with Lewis Carter. I think Lewis Carter's I know he's been running
• 1:15:14
  with the twos, so I understand the missile was ready to keep playing Canine.
• 1:15:20
  I can't think of her name for the life of me. I'm not
• 1:15:23
  very good with the softball girls names. The Kinseynsen, I know he knows
• 1:15:28
  you go about and I'm just I'm just telling you, I'm jealous. I'm
• 1:15:33
  jealous. Kins. He's always been like, I'm a I'm a you know,
• 1:15:36
  as a pitcher, I'm a sucker for a catcher as far as the
• 1:15:42
  the you know, Yadier Molina is one of my favorite players of all times.
• 1:15:45
  And you know, I just love a good catcher. And she is
• 1:15:47
  the absolute captain of that team. And so yeah, it's it's it's good,
• 1:15:50
  guys, it's I don't think he's going anywhere. I think I mean,
• 1:15:54
  I think he's an opportunity away from making making himself some money. And
• 1:16:00
  I don't think that's going and starting over, going and starting over is not
• 1:16:02
  is not something. And Kobe's Kobe's tough guy who you know, could play
• 1:16:06
  one season, have a really good season and still go second, third,
• 1:16:11
  fourth round, Like, and that's what you that you want? What do
• 1:16:14
  you want for him? So but I mean, I guess the only thing
• 1:16:17
  I'm looking in here maybe at En Jayden Row and that's only because the health
• 1:16:26
  uh and nobody. Nobody will turn him down. I promise you that nobody
• 1:16:30
  will turn him around. But you also because I mean with the transfers of
• 1:16:32
  you know, uh Malaska and everything like that, you know, we've got
• 1:16:35
  more opportunities. So uh, like I said, let's just wait until the
• 1:16:41
  end of the year, and now we're going to start, you know,
• 1:16:43
  our tiers will start coming up because there's none of these guys. There's nobody
• 1:16:46
  on this team that I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'm okay with losing
• 1:16:49
  him. Yeah, I'm still holding out hope on Jayden Row. He's six
• 1:16:58
  and oh yeah, he rose like a four four forty and he's he he
• 1:17:01
  likes to hit. He's a track kid. I would like for him to
• 1:17:05
  run track at oh you as well as play football and play corner. I
• 1:17:10
  like his speed, and his problem hasn't been He's had shoulder problems, that's
• 1:17:15
  about it. And I really don't want him to leave. I'm holding out
• 1:17:21
  hope on him. I'm just gonna say that I'm holding out hope. So
• 1:17:27
  the size reminds me of Chajoki on your Nagatcha, because you know, Jajok
• 1:17:30
  was a Juco transfer In was six two, two hundred and some odd change
• 1:17:34
  and had hammy issues and just never became that guy. And but at least
• 1:17:41
  he got to play a little bit. I mean, you know, we
• 1:17:43
  still haven't seen row outside of mop up duty. And so because he's a
• 1:17:46
  guy that when he gets on the field, everybody's gonna be like, who
• 1:17:48
  the hell is that guy? I mean because he's six four, Yeah,
• 1:17:51
  he's almost sixty four. He runs a four to four and he's like two
• 1:17:56
  twenty Like yeah, I mean, yeah, who is a James? He
• 1:17:59
  might try for out and moved to the defensive end. He can do better
• 1:18:02
  David Agueybu. But no, it's especially with a speed. Yeah, you
• 1:18:08
  should have played a Guebu edge that he's one player that should have been edged.
• 1:18:12
  She should have never been linebacker. Right, But at the same time,
• 1:18:14
  you can only work with what you got, right, that's just kind
• 1:18:16
  of the name of the game. And super quick I think that literally you
• 1:18:21
  you had to pick the lesser two evils. It was put him at edge
• 1:18:26
  and then deal with a completely gap on linebacker, or put him at linebacker
• 1:18:30
  and deal with it. And you know, so you know, you just
• 1:18:32
  didn't want to change the position and have him still do nothing. So but
• 1:18:36
  again, that's what happens when you have Booty Tibo as your strength and conditioning
• 1:18:42
  and you know nothing about running a defense. So it just is what it
• 1:18:45
  is. It is what it is, and so we'll see how everything turns
• 1:18:48
  out. All right, we're gonna wrap it up, put a bowl on
• 1:18:50
  it. Thank y'all for pulling up as usual here to the show. You
• 1:18:55

• 1:19:34
  lot of stuff to debate and talk about. So we'll be back. We'll
