- 1:56Speaker 1: would have worked. It did not, as the Sooners fall
- 1:59Speaker 1: was a say to two. But we'll talk a little
- 2:01Speaker 1: bit about this run because it's been an insane baseball run. Plus,
- 2:05Speaker 1: recruiting has to be talked about. One of the biggest,
- 2:08Speaker 1: one of the bigger fish on our list, just commit
- 2:11Speaker 1: it to the school that we hoped that he wouldn't
- 2:15Speaker 1: commit to, Case Alexander. We'll explain kind of what that
- 2:18Speaker 1: means and all of that and so yeah, like subscribe

- 3:17Speaker 2: It dollar value, you know what I mean.
- 3:20Speaker 1: It is totally worth it. So with that being said,
- 3:23Speaker 1: we gotta talk a little stickball man. I have been
- 3:25Speaker 1: impressed with the run that Oklahoma has been on. Of
- 3:30Speaker 1: course didn't work out today six to two, lost to
- 3:32Speaker 1: North Carolina, So that means we'll have a rubber match
- 3:35Speaker 1: tomorrow night, six pm Central. Tar Hills were pretty they
- 3:41Speaker 1: they they cooled off our bats and they figured it
- 3:45Speaker 1: out even when Xander was out there striking them out
- 3:49Speaker 1: constantly and so but overall man out. Even outside of
- 3:53Speaker 1: how bad this game, I guess you could say was Colin,
- 3:56Speaker 1: they have been impressive in this run. I have been
- 4:00Speaker 1: in shock how well they have performed in this tournament,
- 4:05Speaker 1: beating the Big twelve champion, the SEC champion, the ACC champion,
- 4:09Speaker 1: and leading all the way to this point. It's impressive
- 4:14Speaker 1: and it's definitely something they can build off of.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I think starting with today's game obviously, I mean,
- 4:22Speaker 2: if you're looking for Sky's falling content, that's just not
- 4:25Speaker 2: where I'm at mentally, because I don't think that that's
- 4:28Speaker 2: where this team is mentally. Saying yesterday is dead is
- 4:33Speaker 2: very much alive for them, and it's really helped carry
- 4:36Speaker 2: them through the postseason to this point. And I mean,
- 4:40Speaker 2: at the end of the day, like you're in the
- 4:42Speaker 2: National Championship Series, not a game, but you're in the
- 4:46Speaker 2: National Championship Series and what arguably is the most difficult
- 4:50Speaker 2: sport to have success in against a really good baseball team,
- 4:54Speaker 2: and Oklahoma obviously successful. It is a younger group. Actually,
- 5:00Speaker 2: I'm the bump. They're in a championship environment. You're not
- 5:05Speaker 2: going to go through it without facing some adversity. And
- 5:08Speaker 2: so yeah, hey, hats off to North Carolina. But to
- 5:12Speaker 2: your original question as well, like, hats off to Oklahoma
- 5:15Speaker 2: for even being here. And I think, oh, you showcased
- 5:19Speaker 2: why it is deserving of being in this position, not
- 5:23Speaker 2: only through this run, but certainly in game one. The
- 5:26Speaker 2: other team deserves to be there too. They show that
- 5:29Speaker 2: in game two. It's when winner take all tomorrow. I
- 5:32Speaker 2: can't wait for Game three.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And like, just like I said, just looking
- 5:38Speaker 1: at this run, it's so impressive. But the one thing
- 5:40Speaker 1: I've tried to remind a few folks don't forget, and
- 5:44Speaker 1: others have said this online, So I give them the
- 5:45Speaker 1: props as well that remember Oklahoma's ranked number eight in
- 5:48Speaker 1: the country at one point, right like the the the
- 5:52Speaker 1: vision was there for them to be able to be
- 5:54Speaker 1: able to make a deep run in the playoffs, and
- 5:58Speaker 1: then them just getting as hot as they were they
- 6:00Speaker 1: continued it. This game to me feels like a light
- 6:03Speaker 1: anomalies to how things were going, plus they're one of
- 6:05Speaker 1: their better pictures. Lynch was out there, he was he
- 6:08Speaker 1: was Initially he looked a little rattled, sow you go
- 6:11Speaker 1: up to zero, but then it looked like he died
- 6:14Speaker 1: in and then they were able to really close it,
- 6:16Speaker 1: whereas we dialed in early and then we started to
- 6:19Speaker 1: fall apart. And that's why I've gone through so many
- 6:22Speaker 1: arms in this game, which honestly may not be a
- 6:24Speaker 1: bad thing because last game is tomorrow. Period winner takes haul.
- 6:30Speaker 1: So in that case, you can throw everything out there, right,
- 6:33Speaker 1: you can throw the whole kitchen sink out there and
- 6:35Speaker 1: see how you play. But Xander overall, I mean, until
- 6:39Speaker 1: he started giving up those runs, I mean he was heating.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Think you what, eight k's right, how do you how
- 6:45Speaker 1: do you retire the six of the first seven guys
- 6:48Speaker 1: with strikeouts.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Say the first the first frame he goes, strike out, strikeouts, strikeout.
- 6:53Speaker 2: I mean, just you know, I was thinking about this, man.
- 6:56Speaker 2: It's it's the exact inverse of Game one, where Cord
- 7:02Speaker 2: goes out there. There's a little bit of adversity early,
- 7:05Speaker 2: but then he settles in and gives Oklahoma a chance
- 7:07Speaker 2: to win, and the Bats get it going but on
- 7:11Speaker 2: the flip side, going into this one, Xander goes out
- 7:14Speaker 2: there and you're like, oh, he's he's got it today. Yeah,
- 7:17Speaker 2: And Oklahoma scores twice early and it feels like, man,
- 7:21Speaker 2: they might be getting ready to do this. But North
- 7:24Speaker 2: Carolina figures it out later on and weather it's the
- 7:28Speaker 2: storm and then starts to pour the offense. And I
- 7:32Speaker 2: think that's valuable, to be quite honest with you, for
- 7:35Speaker 2: both teams, because they've now had differing experiences yet similar
- 7:41Speaker 2: results in their own ways, and that kind of opens
- 7:45Speaker 2: endless possibilities for Game three in an environment that I'm
- 7:50Speaker 2: sure will be electric. I am curious how, like you mentioned,
- 7:55Speaker 2: Oklahoma chooses to handle the pitching situation. I am cure
- 8:00Speaker 2: is to see how the bats respond, because as we know, yes,
- 8:04Speaker 2: Ohu has been electric on the bump, but what this
- 8:08Speaker 2: offense has done at the play during this run has
- 8:11Speaker 2: been phenomenal. Today, after scoring twice early not stifled a
- 8:17Speaker 2: little bit, that response in Game three is gonna be huge.
- 8:22Speaker 2: And I think that this Oklahoma team has shown it's
- 8:25Speaker 2: built for the proper response. Agree.
- 8:27Speaker 1: They have shown that they're built to bounce back from
- 8:30Speaker 1: us from this type of adversity even though they went
- 8:32Speaker 1: the no straight games they've won, it really is. I mean,
- 8:39Speaker 1: you lose to Georgia Tech and then all of a
- 8:42Speaker 1: sudden you just fly right through to this point, to
- 8:46Speaker 1: this moment against a really good North Carolina squad. So no,
- 8:51Speaker 1: I wanted to give them some props. We'll be tuned
- 8:53Speaker 1: in tomorrow night.
- 8:55Speaker 2: And I did want to say this too because I
- 8:57Speaker 2: felt it important to reiterate, like I was doing my research.
- 9:01Speaker 2: I want to emphasize really quick, obviously I am not
- 9:05Speaker 2: the baseball guy. Josh Callaway, Eddie Ridosovich. Those guys have
- 9:09Speaker 2: covered this team on a day to day basis through
- 9:11Speaker 2: the entire year, and I think, yeah, Josh and Eddie
- 9:13Speaker 2: have done an outstanding job. I know a number of
- 9:17Speaker 2: Beat reporters are in Omaha contributing to the coverage, doing
- 9:20Speaker 2: a great job, but like Josh and Eddie following along
- 9:24Speaker 2: with Josh Josh's coverage, Like obviously, this Oklahoma team had
- 9:28Speaker 2: a lot of inconsistencies at times, and there were some
- 9:31Speaker 2: things to figure out. And just because you piece together
- 9:34Speaker 2: and you go on a run doesn't mean that baseball
- 9:36Speaker 2: is not going to remind you who you are at
- 9:38Speaker 2: times or what it can do to your confidence. And
- 9:41Speaker 2: this is the other thing too, is you know, I
- 9:44Speaker 2: used to be a huge college baseball nerd Josh and
- 9:46Speaker 2: I went to Omaha together a long time ago when
- 9:49Speaker 2: we had a college baseball podcast, Believe It or Not,
- 9:52Speaker 2: And so I'm used to digging into the research and
- 9:56Speaker 2: structures of these teams. And I would also say too,
- 9:58Speaker 2: as a football recruiting what I found very interesting too
- 10:02Speaker 2: is like North Carolina is considered one of the most
- 10:05Speaker 2: athletic baseball teams in the country. I guess a lot
- 10:09Speaker 2: of these players are formed multi sport background types. They
- 10:13Speaker 2: played a number of different sports in high school, They've
- 10:15Speaker 2: done a lot of these different things throughout the course
- 10:18Speaker 2: of their life, and so they're they're not phased by
- 10:21Speaker 2: adversity because so many of them were multi sport athletes
- 10:25Speaker 2: before joining the baseball program in North Carolina. And number two,
- 10:28Speaker 2: like they're extremely talented. I basically what I'm also trying
- 10:32Speaker 2: to add on here is like they're top five in
- 10:35Speaker 2: the country for a reason. They're they're elite. And it
- 10:38Speaker 2: felt like there was a ton of noise about Oklahoma
- 10:41Speaker 2: and this magical run, and rightfully so. But maybe not
- 10:45Speaker 2: enough noise about why North Carolina was still favored going
- 10:48Speaker 2: into the series. So North Carolina's really good too, man,
- 10:51Speaker 2: Like sometimes you just gotta tip your cap. And like,
- 10:55Speaker 2: I think that they they are a baseball team that
- 11:00Speaker 2: make things really hairy. You give them an inch, they'll
- 11:03Speaker 2: go a mile. And I thought that that was that
- 11:05Speaker 2: was seen.
- 11:06Speaker 1: See, that was self evident in this game as soon
- 11:09Speaker 1: as we started getting basically giving up a little bit,
- 11:11Speaker 1: and then you start to see them take on me like,
- 11:12Speaker 1: oh okay, their bats are really getting high and they
- 11:15Speaker 1: are tuning up, and we're gonna have to do something
- 11:18Speaker 1: to bounce back from that. But I think we will
- 11:20Speaker 1: Game three tomorrow night. Again, I mentioned it is the
- 11:24Speaker 1: It is a I think it's a seven o'clock Eastern
- 11:27Speaker 1: six so Central. We'll be tuned in. Hey, I may
- 11:30Speaker 1: go live afterwards, win or lose, just because why not.
- 11:34Speaker 1: I love talking a little.
- 11:36Speaker 2: I saw someone in the comments say, weren't even supposed
- 11:38Speaker 2: to be here. That's got to be your mindset going
- 11:40Speaker 2: into Game three. Man, yesterday is dead. You're not even
- 11:43Speaker 2: supposed to be here in this championship game. Go play fun.
- 11:47Speaker 2: How many people get to say that they play in
- 11:50Speaker 2: Game three of the College World Series. You know, I
- 11:54Speaker 2: once in a lifetime opportunity for these guys that they
- 11:56Speaker 2: weren't supposed to have, and so hopefully they go out there.
- 11:59Speaker 2: And he said, showcase what they're about on Monday.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Yep, exactly now. No, now we de bounce back and
- 12:06Speaker 1: their freshman pitcher twenty nine and zero.
- 12:09Speaker 2: That dude. So you know again like I'm a I'm
- 12:13Speaker 2: a baseball fan at heart, and I didn't know about
- 12:17Speaker 2: this guy obviously because I don't I don't get to
- 12:19Speaker 2: keep up with college baseball as much as I used to.
- 12:22Speaker 2: And when they said that this guy was twenty eight, no,
- 12:25Speaker 2: I was like, there's no way he's that good. I
- 12:28Speaker 2: was like, surely it's this defense picking him up or something.
- 12:32Speaker 2: And what was it? Was it that first frame he
- 12:33Speaker 2: went out and pitched, She went to strike out, strikeouts,
- 12:35Speaker 2: strike out.
- 12:36Speaker 1: That never mine took the cap man. Hey. Granted, when
- 12:42Speaker 1: we beat them yesterday, they were I can't think of
- 12:48Speaker 1: the number. I think it was maybe forty or thirty something.
- 12:51Speaker 1: And oh if they when they scored two runs in
- 12:54Speaker 1: like the early frames, two plus runs and early frames,
- 12:57Speaker 1: like they hadn't lost anything. And then we gave them
- 12:59Speaker 1: that one because it's all always there's only one Oklahoma
- 13:01Speaker 1: that always provides that one, that one l that they
- 13:05Speaker 1: shouldn't get. Hopefully we do that to this guy because
- 13:08Speaker 1: we will see him tomorrow. This is like I said,
- 13:10Speaker 1: winn it takes all. Everybody's gonna throw the kitchen sink
- 13:12Speaker 1: out there. Their best arm is gonna be out there.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to sixty something pitches sixty two. I
- 13:21Speaker 2: saw somebody in the comments say, rightfully, that guy's probably
- 13:24Speaker 2: coming back in. I mean, there's there's no way you
- 13:27Speaker 2: don't put him in at some point.
- 13:30Speaker 1: You have to. It's the last game. Yeah, exactly, screw it,
- 13:33Speaker 1: it's the last game. You you just you throw it
- 13:35Speaker 1: all out there, and no one would blame him or
- 13:40Speaker 1: them for saying, I have to be out there. This
- 13:43Speaker 1: is it because once it's done, the season is done
- 13:45Speaker 1: and you get to, you know, basically rest. So take
- 13:48Speaker 1: advantage of that. Thank you all, of course for pulling

- 14:02Speaker 1: best intaeil, especially around recruiting. That's what we're gonna start
- 14:06Speaker 1: off here. We're gonna jump into that. Next. Our guy, Case,
- 14:10Speaker 1: Alexander lineback out of Washington, Oklahoma, we were hoping to
- 14:13Speaker 1: land will be joining his brother in Penn State. Yes,
- 14:18Speaker 1: unfortunately so, yes, we didn't lose that one. This was
- 14:20Speaker 1: a nitty lions over Oklahoma, Kansas State and Tech. We
- 14:23Speaker 1: weren't put in there for clout. We were hoping to
- 14:25Speaker 1: land this kid. He's a local kid, not very far
- 14:28Speaker 1: in Washington. His brother Cooper's up there. They're both legacies.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Cooper was got a walk on opportunity here, then got
- 14:35Speaker 1: a scholarship to Iowa State and moved up to Penn
- 14:39Speaker 1: State with Matt Campbell and that staff, and now looks
- 14:42Speaker 1: like his brother Case is going to join them. Now
- 14:44Speaker 1: I ask you this, c K, do you think this
- 14:48Speaker 1: recruitment is over?
- 14:52Speaker 2: I'm gonna say yes, I think man, at least for
- 14:57Speaker 2: the time being. I so so I want to shout
- 15:01Speaker 2: out steveg my guy in the chat Stevie go O
- 15:06Speaker 2: two saying Brody lust can now is sooners illustrated and
- 15:10Speaker 2: he's awesome. Yes, Brody is awesome. I think you can
- 15:12Speaker 2: still go to Sooners illustrat dot com and use that
- 15:16Speaker 2: promo code Brody gets you seventy five or seventy five
- 15:18Speaker 2: percent off. So Brody has allowed me to finally kind
- 15:23Speaker 2: of take a step back and focus on some of
- 15:25Speaker 2: my other responsibilities behind the scenes. I'm not running around
- 15:29Speaker 2: with my hair on fire all the time like I was,
- 15:30Speaker 2: and I've I've tried to personally take a step back
- 15:34Speaker 2: and let Brody go do his thing. I'm trying to
- 15:37Speaker 2: mentor him and showcase what he's all about, because I
- 15:39Speaker 2: think he is elite, and I think that Brody and
- 15:42Speaker 2: I have been keeping a good pulse on this. I
- 15:46Speaker 2: texted Brody last night, so I don't know if he
- 15:48Speaker 2: was able to put it on the board last night
- 15:51Speaker 2: while I was driving out to Stillwater. I was at
- 15:53Speaker 2: Oklahoma State today. Got word last night that Penn State
- 15:59Speaker 2: felt like Case Alexander was a done deal to them,
- 16:03Speaker 2: and understandably, so why I say I probably leaned towards
- 16:07Speaker 2: this ultimately being a move on situation for the longest time.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Like Case Alexander was a Penn State lean, He's probably
- 16:17Speaker 2: always been a Penn State lean, and when It got
- 16:20Speaker 2: really interesting was when he showed up for that official
- 16:23Speaker 2: visit in Norman and the Oklahoma staff did its thing. However,
- 16:29Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. I talk to some people in
- 16:32Speaker 2: around the program, some of the other recruits, and like
- 16:35Speaker 2: the feedback that I got that Brody got was just
- 16:37Speaker 2: like think, think it's good, but I don't know. I
- 16:41Speaker 2: mean it. It was hard for people to figure out
- 16:44Speaker 2: where he was mentally even during the trip at Oklahoma.
- 16:50Speaker 2: And when it's that type of feedback, you typically say
- 16:52Speaker 2: to yourself, all right, like, this is still gonna be
- 16:55Speaker 2: a tough one to overcome. And man, if there's a
- 16:59Speaker 2: really brief but efficient way for me to sum it
- 17:02Speaker 2: up to me, this was a head versus herd thing
- 17:06Speaker 2: because for case Alexander, it is, hey, man, if you
- 17:11Speaker 2: stay close to home and you play linebacker in Brent
- 17:15Speaker 2: Benable's defense, you get to be you know, a half
- 17:21Speaker 2: hour or so down the road. Parents can come seek play.
- 17:25Speaker 2: There probably be a lot of people that you know
- 17:26Speaker 2: in the area. Still, you'll have the Oklahoma ties and
- 17:29Speaker 2: connections to build your brand. And then, oh, by the way,
- 17:33Speaker 2: the development that you would receive as a linebacker would
- 17:37Speaker 2: be second to none. In Brent Vnable's system. Right, that's
- 17:40Speaker 2: a lot of logic. But I think the case Alexander
- 17:43Speaker 2: has always kind of had his heart with Penn State
- 17:46Speaker 2: for good reason. His brother is up there. The relationships
- 17:51Speaker 2: that he has had with Matt Campbell and some of
- 17:55Speaker 2: those Iowa State staffers go back to, honestly kind of
- 18:00Speaker 2: before he was a big time recruit, right. I mean,
- 18:02Speaker 2: they were recruiting Cooper to Iowa State, where he ultimately
- 18:07Speaker 2: signed out of high school. And as they're recruiting Cooper,
- 18:10Speaker 2: they get to no Case, and so he's gotten to
- 18:12Speaker 2: know some of the staffers that left Iowa State and
- 18:15Speaker 2: went to Penn State, and those people plus some of
- 18:20Speaker 2: the other staffers that joined Matt Campbell's crew, Dan Linz,
- 18:24Speaker 2: a new defensive coordinator there. So on that collection of relationships,
- 18:29Speaker 2: plus the fact that his family his brother already so
- 18:33Speaker 2: intertwined to the Nidney Lyons culture, like, it's a very
- 18:39Speaker 2: understandable decision emotionally, mentally. And then, oh, by the way,
- 18:44Speaker 2: like Penn State is still considered one of the lbus
- 18:47Speaker 2: of college football. So I get it from that standpoint
- 18:50Speaker 2: as well. I don't think this is a shocking decision
- 18:53Speaker 2: to any but Oklahoma really gave a good fight down
- 18:56Speaker 2: the stretch.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I know we pushed and you know it was
- 19:02Speaker 1: yeah that he's built a relationship with that staff and
- 19:04Speaker 1: he liked it right. And in some situations, some of
- 19:07Speaker 1: the kids enjoy leaving. They want to go go far
- 19:10Speaker 1: away from home. And I know that that was one
- 19:12Speaker 1: of the battles I know we had with we gave Osbourne,
- 19:15Speaker 1: you know, we landed them, but I know that was
- 19:18Speaker 1: one of the battles. You know, he was considered leaving town.
- 19:20Speaker 1: I know Tristan Haynes was considered leaving town at one
- 19:22Speaker 1: point as well. Want to do something different, and you know,
- 19:26Speaker 1: the hope was to be able to if you win case,
- 19:29Speaker 1: you could potentially get Cooper in the portal, Right, that
- 19:31Speaker 1: would have been nice and getting you know, he'd now developed,
- 19:34Speaker 1: ready to play, mix him in without the other young
- 19:37Speaker 1: tight ends that you have. Cool. So I guess from there,
- 19:41Speaker 1: now you got to look at does Oklahoma go for
- 19:44Speaker 1: another linebacker? I know we technically have. Of course we
- 19:46Speaker 1: got Cooper witting and then of course we have technically
- 19:50Speaker 1: Tavin Epps is listed at linebacker depending on you know,
- 19:54Speaker 1: the site. I know he's kind of an athlete's more
- 19:57Speaker 1: of a rusher, but at the same time, at his size,
- 20:00Speaker 1: you could be a nasty linebacker in the Brent Venable system.
- 20:05Speaker 1: One that I think. I think he's very much. He's
- 20:09Speaker 1: becoming more underrated every day as I watch him go
- 20:11Speaker 1: to these camps. But does Oklahoma have any other linebackers
- 20:15Speaker 1: that they really can go after at this point?
- 20:21Speaker 2: In my eyes, and this is kind of an instant
- 20:23Speaker 2: reaction thing. In my eyes, you stash the two that
- 20:27Speaker 2: you have because Tavid Epsen, Cooper Witting. I'm not gonna
- 20:31Speaker 2: say that I do think that they played a role
- 20:34Speaker 2: in the Alexander decision, but it's like, hey man, those
- 20:39Speaker 2: two are already holding those spots. You know. It's really
- 20:43Speaker 2: good both of them. It's hard to ignore those two presences.
- 20:47Speaker 2: And so I think you stash the two guys that
- 20:50Speaker 2: you have, and it may ultimately make a little bit
- 20:53Speaker 2: more sense to go look for a linebacker in the
- 20:56Speaker 2: portal unless somebody kind of blows you away on the
- 20:59Speaker 2: scene your tape. I don't know how convicted you are
- 21:04Speaker 2: in such a quick pivot. At least at this stage.
- 21:07Speaker 2: I don't think Oklahoma needs a rush because we're hitting
- 21:09Speaker 2: the dead period. But unless someone really blows the staff
- 21:14Speaker 2: away in a senior campaign, I feel like arriving on
- 21:20Speaker 2: the decision to look in the portal is probably the
- 21:23Speaker 2: better call, especially because of the nature of the position.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Right it's hard to find bona fide star inside linebacker
- 21:33Speaker 2: recruits that you feel like can play in two years
- 21:36Speaker 2: or less. I think EPs and Cooper wouldn't have that makeup.
- 21:40Speaker 2: I don't know how many more do, so I would
- 21:43Speaker 2: personally lean portal. But the fall is the fall for
- 21:46Speaker 2: a reason, that's true.
- 21:48Speaker 1: And I didn't even realize that Epps was the number
- 21:52Speaker 1: one inside linebacker over there on ESPN, so I knew
- 21:55Speaker 1: that he was highly rated. And I'll you know, two
- 21:57Speaker 1: four seven, you'll have him, you know, the seventh best
- 22:00Speaker 1: linebacker in the country, rably the best interior guy there,
- 22:05Speaker 1: and him and Cooper Waitning them both rate it pretty high.
- 22:07Speaker 1: So you got You've got two really good linebackers. It's
- 22:10Speaker 1: not like you desperately need it. I guess the biggest
- 22:12Speaker 1: question is is gonna be about I know, the pushes
- 22:17Speaker 1: for like thirty kids in the class, they're really trying
- 22:20Speaker 1: to reload, get a little bit younger, I guess the
- 22:25Speaker 1: question is how much further the dept do you want
- 22:27Speaker 1: to go? Or they go find a development you know,
- 22:29Speaker 1: a project Go find a big dude that's like six'
- 22:31Speaker 1: five that that's pretty very much underrated because he doesn't hit,
- 22:38Speaker 1: camps and you're, like, HEY i love the. Athleticism let's.
- 22:40Speaker 1: See it never hurts to get a development guy that
- 22:43Speaker 1: you know can be A booma. Bus you know What i'm.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Saying you, know, Yeah i'm wondering if, that like you,
- 22:48Speaker 1: SAID i want that's the direction that they go when
- 22:51Speaker 1: the season. Starts LIKE i, said there's no reason to. Rush,
- 22:52Speaker 1: Now saturday's not To. December why why would we even
- 22:55Speaker 1: consider jumping all over it today when you can, Wait
- 22:57Speaker 1: you can wait till close to the end of the,
- 22:59Speaker 1: season find yourself a last guy or even flip. Somebody never.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Know, YEAH i certainly don't want to speculate without doing
- 23:05Speaker 2: some due. Diligence you, KNOW i would bet you probably.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Tonight i'm gonna try and write a couple OF vip
- 23:11Speaker 2: articles tonight for tomorrow during the day for, subscribers some
- 23:15Speaker 2: recruiting stuff THAT i have, Stash but you, KNOW i
- 23:19Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if IF i take a break from
- 23:21Speaker 2: writing tonight and maybe sift through SOME g six classes
- 23:26Speaker 2: and see who's got a linebacker on, tape that may
- 23:28Speaker 2: make some. Sense AND i bet you that's probably what
- 23:32Speaker 2: this staff might be up to as well over the
- 23:34Speaker 2: next month or so during the dead. Period but like,
- 23:38Speaker 2: you obviously don't want to jump the gun too, early
- 23:41Speaker 2: especially because, again linebacker is one that it is kind
- 23:45Speaker 2: of tough to stamp a, guy especially when you're talking
- 23:48Speaker 2: about a place Like, oklahoma where like you gotta have
- 23:52Speaker 2: the right makeup physically and mentally to play the linebacker
- 23:57Speaker 2: position in the. System but it's all so worth, mentioning like,
- 24:01Speaker 2: hey you, know sure they could go to the, portal
- 24:04Speaker 2: but if they do like somebody on, tape, man it
- 24:06Speaker 2: Doesn't it's not going to cost you anything really to
- 24:10Speaker 2: invite somebody for a game day visit on an unofficial,
- 24:13Speaker 2: visit get their, measurements and if you like them on
- 24:17Speaker 2: tape The Green flag and the data, department then who,
- 24:23Speaker 2: knows maybe maybe something happens In October.
- 24:27Speaker 1: November, yeah and that's probably What i'm. Thinking i'm thinking
- 24:33Speaker 1: mid to late, seasons probably the next time we hear
- 24:36Speaker 1: or see them actually make a move anywhere else on that. One,
- 24:40Speaker 1: well as we talk about making, moves we got a

- 27:13Speaker 1: it's funny because as soon as we start to show
- 27:16Speaker 1: some interesting you start to see really all of the
- 27:18Speaker 1: offers come in. There he flies up to one hundred
- 27:22Speaker 1: and five in the. Rankings Because Wolf graham is. Ridiculous
- 27:26Speaker 1: c k WE i wont to talk about him.
- 27:29Speaker 2: First, yep.
- 27:32Speaker 1: You think we can spy the weekend because B YU
- 27:34Speaker 1: i know is throwing the kitchen sinking him as.
- 27:37Speaker 2: Well we're gonna talk a LITTLE byu a couple of
- 27:40Speaker 2: times here in the Sh shout out To, Jimmy shout
- 27:45Speaker 2: out To, Tofer shout out To, Mars shout out everybody

- 28:04Speaker 2: Amount around the time THAT i was told that Case
- 28:08Speaker 2: alexander was a lean To Penn, STATE i did get
- 28:11Speaker 2: a couple of texts about some of These utah, guys
- 28:14Speaker 2: and we start with Wolf graham. Here to, ME i
- 28:23Speaker 2: VIEW byu as a legitimate threat for. BOTH i think
- 28:31Speaker 2: that as of right, now it's hard for me to
- 28:37Speaker 2: pick which one is more. Likely IF i had to,
- 28:39Speaker 2: pick which one would end up at a place LIKE
- 28:41Speaker 2: byu over the. Other but What i'll say is this is,
- 28:45Speaker 2: like you, know to, me you eel a Wolf. Graham
- 28:49Speaker 2: like we know that he nearly committed on his oklahomaical official.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Visits we know that that almost went. Public shout out
- 28:57Speaker 2: To Chuck. Kearney good to see him as. WELL i
- 29:00Speaker 2: saw him dropping the, Chat say what's, Up. Chuck, YEP
- 29:05Speaker 2: i think that Wolf graham is very close to being In.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Oklahoma pick in the, END i here's here's let's talk about.
- 29:19Speaker 2: This this is a tricky subject to, discuss but, hey
- 29:22Speaker 2: we're here on unfair. Sports we have. Here we do
- 29:29Speaker 2: SO byu for its reputation and some of the public.
- 29:34Speaker 2: PERCEPTIONS i don't know that people talk enough ABOUT byu
- 29:37Speaker 2: from a resources, Standpoint.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah they're a school that quietly WELL i
- 29:47Speaker 1: Guess debansa kind of shut the quietness up right about
- 29:51Speaker 1: how well how many resources they truly have because him
- 29:55Speaker 1: being you, know basically the number, one number two pick
- 29:57Speaker 1: in THE nba draft coming up and going to B.
- 29:59Speaker 1: Yu we all know That Ryan smith over, there owner
- 30:03Speaker 1: of The Utah jazz and The mammoth BIG byu, guy
- 30:08Speaker 1: and he is definitely bankrolling. Them so they have. It
- 30:12Speaker 1: and that's how they even Got sataki to come back
- 30:17Speaker 1: instead of leaving to go To Penn. State BECAUSE i
- 30:20Speaker 1: think That Penn state deal was basically. DONE i think
- 30:23Speaker 1: b why you walked back in and, said hey, man we,
- 30:25Speaker 1: KNOW i know you don't want to. Move let us
- 30:28Speaker 1: figure it. Out we'll make make it. Work and they did.
- 30:31Speaker 1: It so, yeah resource, wise you one hundred percent. CORRECT
- 30:34Speaker 1: i think we think we used to sleep on, them
- 30:35Speaker 1: BUT i Think davansa has helped us realize oh, no, no, no,
- 30:39Speaker 1: no they are a thread at all.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Times, yeah the Ad Da vansa, SAGA i mean they
- 30:47Speaker 2: had that one locked up ready to roll for a.
- 30:49Speaker 2: While The sataki. Situation Penn state was very, REAL i.
- 30:55Speaker 2: KNOW i think IF i remember, Correctly michigan was sniffing
- 30:58Speaker 2: around there as well at one.
- 30:59Speaker 1: Mm, yeah they.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Worried they got they got that figured out. Quick but to,
- 31:06Speaker 2: me what what has been overlooked on the football side
- 31:10Speaker 2: is you, know in the class of twenty twenty, Six
- 31:14Speaker 2: Ryder lions was one of the top six quarterbacks in
- 31:19Speaker 2: the country FOR us in twenty four Seven sports top
- 31:21Speaker 2: five overall in the. Composite that's a top five quarterback
- 31:25Speaker 2: in the country who was being pursued By oregon and
- 31:30Speaker 2: several other high major programs AND byu got it. Done,
- 31:37Speaker 2: yes they went out and got their, quarterback you could,
- 31:40Speaker 2: say and knowing some of the details behind that recruitment
- 31:45Speaker 2: behind the, scenes that for me was the first edition
- 31:48Speaker 2: before the debans the thing everything of and b what
- 31:51Speaker 2: you's got? IT I i think it's, tough, Right LIKE
- 31:59Speaker 2: i See jimmy asks in the chat As Wolf graham
- 32:02Speaker 2: a defensive end or a three. Tech he's a defensive.
- 32:05Speaker 2: END i think it's a good question, though by the, Way,
- 32:08Speaker 2: jimmy BECAUSE i do think they have the ability to
- 32:13Speaker 2: get even bigger and kick inside to three tech if
- 32:16Speaker 2: asked and are director of. Scouting Andrew ivans has noted
- 32:21Speaker 2: that actually on his, profile so it's a great question For.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Jimmy But shavis has led the. WAY i really Like
- 32:29Speaker 2: wolfgraham is a defensive, end has kind of the makings
- 32:33Speaker 2: of a true old school defensive end as. Well AND
- 32:37Speaker 2: i think That oklahoma has presented the full package that
- 32:44Speaker 2: basically says we are the program that could best capitalize
- 32:48Speaker 2: on your. Talents THE byu situation is tricky because they
- 32:53Speaker 2: can pitch potentially more of a clearer path to playing
- 32:56Speaker 2: time early even though they are an extremely successful, program
- 33:01Speaker 2: played for The Big twelve championship just last, year Gave
- 33:05Speaker 2: Texas tech some problems not a ton and sataki is
- 33:10Speaker 2: is is. AWESOME i, mean one of the best people
- 33:12Speaker 2: in college. Football excellent, program awesome home, atmosphere and you
- 33:17Speaker 2: would get to be closer to home as. Well, right
- 33:20Speaker 2: And Wolf graham is very close with his, family which is.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Important has it you know he has a farm out.
- 33:25Speaker 2: THERE i think at this, TIME i THINK i still
- 33:32Speaker 2: kind of Lean. OKLAHOMA i would tell you That i'm
- 33:36Speaker 2: probably still a little bit more convicted in this THAN
- 33:38Speaker 2: i was ever in the Case Alexander. Saga but LIKE
- 33:45Speaker 2: i think that for the same reasons why we've seen
- 33:49Speaker 2: some recruitments behind the scenes pivot. LATER i wouldn't be
- 33:54Speaker 2: shocked if be all you were to figure something. OUT
- 33:57Speaker 2: i still kind of Like oklahoma, here but B yu
- 34:01Speaker 2: is a serious threat for.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Sure keeping up with. Them B yu also had Mister,
- 34:08Speaker 1: Sparrow Brody, sparrow the, athlete basically the cheetah That oklahoma.
- 34:14Speaker 1: Wants Brandon hall working his tail off to try to
- 34:18Speaker 1: win this bad. Boy he also is one that we're
- 34:24Speaker 1: basically praying that we can survive the weekend right BECAUSE
- 34:27Speaker 1: i know That utah is big with. Them he's also
- 34:29Speaker 1: Being peter recruited heavily By Crew, jones in which we'll
- 34:35Speaker 1: talk about this. Later i'm trying to figure out the
- 34:36Speaker 1: disrespect The Crew jones is. GETTING i understand why he
- 34:38Speaker 1: keeps dropping it even though he go to these. Camps
- 34:40Speaker 1: he's beating the crap at. Everybody but you, know that's
- 34:43Speaker 1: the conversation for another. Day but, YEAH i do know
- 34:45Speaker 1: that he is heavily pushing For brody to join him
- 34:52Speaker 1: here At. OKLAHOMA i do feel like we're still in good.
- 34:57Speaker 1: Graces What i've heard is we still. Are but, man
- 35:00Speaker 1: why do His utah teams really out here playing these
- 35:04Speaker 1: games like, This why are they doing?
- 35:05Speaker 2: This? Yeah, MAN i you, KNOW i think for, ME
- 35:12Speaker 2: i kind OF i Think i'm in the headspace of
- 35:15Speaker 2: like to, me Body sparrow eventually ends up In oklahoma
- 35:19Speaker 2: until he. Doesn't, Right LIKE i, HAD i had heard
- 35:23Speaker 2: a lot Of utah buzz behind the. SCENES i Think
- 35:27Speaker 2: byu is going to have every opportunity to get this figured.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Out BUT i, JUST i mean trying to choose my words,
- 35:39Speaker 2: carefully that ov that he took In, Norman LIKE i
- 35:44Speaker 2: was ready for the, news, right AND i think that
- 35:48Speaker 2: everybody was kind of ready for the. News BUT i
- 35:51Speaker 2: do think that The sparrow, family the way that they are,
- 35:55Speaker 2: wired really hammered home the idea of making sure you
- 35:58Speaker 2: are truly going through the process and getting every experience
- 36:04Speaker 2: you know under the. Book but LIKE i know That
- 36:11Speaker 2: sparrow and all these different connections and relationships that he's
- 36:15Speaker 2: built At, OKLAHOMA i think that's. REAL i think one
- 36:18Speaker 2: thing that is of note is in the, spring we
- 36:23Speaker 2: had an interview up at Centers illustrated dot com where body, Said,
- 36:28Speaker 2: hey Like oklahoma is really kind of the one, program
- 36:31Speaker 2: at least at that time that was really selling just safety.
- 36:35Speaker 2: Specifically a lot of other programs that kind of talked
- 36:38Speaker 2: to him about like maybe we could find you some
- 36:41Speaker 2: snaps on both sides of the. Ball, hey we kind
- 36:43Speaker 2: of like you as a. Receiver we could explore the
- 36:46Speaker 2: too a. Thing But oklahoma has been steady in its
- 36:50Speaker 2: pitch of we like you at defensive. Back we know
- 36:54Speaker 2: the factory that we are in terms of producing safety
- 37:00Speaker 2: talent into the next level at this, Time Bowman, bowen
- 37:04Speaker 2: some of these guys that are going through the PRO
- 37:06Speaker 2: rsj like the safety position in this defense is incredibly.
- 37:12Speaker 2: Attractive AND i think the Body sparrow in that interview
- 37:14Speaker 2: That i'm talking, about it stood out to me that
- 37:17Speaker 2: he was just, LIKE i have the utmost confidence In
- 37:20Speaker 2: oklahoma's plan for, me AND i have all the trust
- 37:24Speaker 2: in the world for the potential to develop as a
- 37:28Speaker 2: safety because they've ironed every aspect of that path out to.
- 37:33Speaker 2: Me and on top of all, that it is a
- 37:37Speaker 2: great fit for him culturally and the ability to be
- 37:42Speaker 2: With Crewe jones and being a program that is about
- 37:46Speaker 2: a lot of the things that he is, about Right
- 37:50Speaker 2: AND i, know, like for, example like his little, brothers
- 37:53Speaker 2: he's got like three little. BROTHERS i was told that
- 37:55Speaker 2: his little bros were all in on The oaklahla visit
- 37:59Speaker 2: at that. Time they all, like, man this place is, awesome.
- 38:03Speaker 1: So maybe they want to come here, too.
- 38:04Speaker 2: HUH i, mean, hey you, know but they're you, know
- 38:11Speaker 2: they're very. Young don't want to get too far. Ahead but,
- 38:13Speaker 2: Yeah LIKE i heard that his family had a great,
- 38:16Speaker 2: time and, man just so much of that buzz going
- 38:21Speaker 2: into the. Visit, Obviously oklahoma has been considered the favorite
- 38:23Speaker 2: in this recruitment for, months it feels, like and then
- 38:26Speaker 2: during that, visit it felt, like, hey, man this might
- 38:29Speaker 2: finally tip over the. Edge Be at one POINT i
- 38:35Speaker 2: Thought utah was the primary. Contender, JAY i do think
- 38:38Speaker 2: THAT byu has scaled into the other primary contender status
- 38:42Speaker 2: at least right. Now BUT i JUST i Think oklahoma's
- 38:49Speaker 2: done too good of a job here and IF byu
- 38:52Speaker 2: were to win out, overall then to, me it's one
- 38:55Speaker 2: of those you, know wave the white flag of. DEFEAT
- 38:59Speaker 2: i just think that he ends up At oklahoma until he,
- 39:02Speaker 2: doesn't you know WHAT i.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Mean, Yeah i'm in the same boat based upon just
- 39:06Speaker 1: What i've heard as. Well on SO i guess some
- 39:09Speaker 1: player feedback is passed back passed to me through a
- 39:12Speaker 1: couple of channels of they really enjoyed the visit and
- 39:15Speaker 1: it was one of those where they might have gotten
- 39:19Speaker 1: him to go ahead and just lock it down at that,
- 39:21Speaker 1: moment but he wanted to finish his, visits like he you,
- 39:26Speaker 1: know gave his word he's gonna go do. It AND
- 39:27Speaker 1: i appreciate him doing that as a person that can't
- 39:31Speaker 1: be mad at him for it is put it that,
- 39:33Speaker 1: way but it does sound like he had a. Blast
- 39:36Speaker 1: he enjoyed everything about, it and he sees the vision
- 39:40Speaker 1: right like we now have going to the playoffs not
- 39:45Speaker 1: only not only really helped with like all the negative
- 39:52Speaker 1: recruiting and, stuff but gives you that this is your
- 39:56Speaker 1: example of your here's your case. Study here's, right this
- 40:00Speaker 1: is what it looks like if you come here and
- 40:02Speaker 1: we're really able to execute on. It because we, DID
- 40:05Speaker 1: i mean bringing in a Kindle daniels and Letting katie
- 40:08Speaker 1: five go out there and just small. People you start to, See,
- 40:11Speaker 1: okay this is the vision of The. Cheetah this is
- 40:13Speaker 1: with you how you wanted to go With reggie powers
- 40:15Speaker 1: as well be able to rotate between the two in the. Size,
- 40:18Speaker 1: Yeah body has an opportunity to be the next nasty
- 40:22Speaker 1: one out there from safety or even down At cheetah
- 40:26Speaker 1: being able to you, know blitz off the. Edge he's got,
- 40:28Speaker 1: options especially with how talented he.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Is, yeah here's the other big thing THAT i think
- 40:36Speaker 2: we need to talk. ABOUT i was talking about this
- 40:39Speaker 2: with some folks At oklahoma while we were out there
- 40:42Speaker 2: at summer, camps AND i do think It's it's something
- 40:46Speaker 2: That i'm going to probably write, about AND i there
- 40:48Speaker 2: is another twenty twenty seven safety THAT i like to talk.
- 40:51Speaker 2: About give the folks an update here on the. Show
- 40:53Speaker 2: let's go my guy five Star kansas hopping in The
- 40:58Speaker 2: as you Know i've. Been i've been recruiting on this
- 41:01Speaker 2: recruitment more THAN i mean.
- 41:03Speaker 1: Anybody, yes, EASILY.
- 41:06Speaker 2: I Got i've got updates for you guys on this
- 41:08Speaker 2: one as. Well but tying Into Jaden fields and then
- 41:11Speaker 2: Especially Body, sparrow here's another big thing THAT i think
- 41:14Speaker 2: we need to. Emphasize oklahoma has five scholarship safeties going
- 41:19Speaker 2: into this. Season, yeah, five what's count them? Out you've
- 41:25Speaker 2: Got Peyton bowen who's going to THE nfl after this. Year,
- 41:28Speaker 2: Yep you've Got Marion, Robinson you've got Markel, Ford you've
- 41:34Speaker 2: got the jan one of The jandro, brothers.
- 41:37Speaker 1: Yep And boganowsk.
- 41:40Speaker 2: Got boganowski who he'll start opposite Of. BOWEN i Mean
- 41:48Speaker 2: bowen will leave for THE. Nfl so that gets you
- 41:50Speaker 2: down to four. Yep and then you, KNOW i, Mean
- 41:54Speaker 2: boganowski's gonna if he doesn't go to THE, nfl he's
- 41:57Speaker 2: gonna go kill it and get on some people's. Radars,
- 41:59Speaker 2: Right so you have five scholarship safeties going into this this,
- 42:05Speaker 2: year you're going to lose your best one to THE. NFL.
- 42:09Speaker 2: Yep getting safety bodies is, imperative whether that is through
- 42:14Speaker 2: the recruiting trail of the transfer. Portal we know what
- 42:17Speaker 2: this safety, Group Brandon hall's room has meant to the
- 42:21Speaker 2: structure this defense in the run That oklahoma has gone
- 42:24Speaker 2: on as of. LATE i mean that's safety. Group some
- 42:26Speaker 2: of the plays that they made Between Peyton BOWEN rsj
- 42:30Speaker 2: and The swords huge right And Billy bowman Before, well
- 42:38Speaker 2: we're not talking enough about the fact that they got
- 42:40Speaker 2: five scholarship. Safeties they'll go down before losing their best
- 42:43Speaker 2: guy to THE, nfl and they have one committed right
- 42:46Speaker 2: now In Jalen. Scott they got. One that's another layer
- 42:51Speaker 2: WHY i believe The Body sparrow, recruitment you know WHAT i,
- 42:55Speaker 2: Mean like they're gonna fight like, hell tooth and nail
- 42:59Speaker 2: to get this thing figure. Out because you can sell
- 43:03Speaker 2: the early playing time, thing you. Can you, know it's
- 43:07Speaker 2: kind of the inverse Of wolfgraham WHERE i might buy,
- 43:09Speaker 2: ultimately you, know into some shifting because the defensive end
- 43:13Speaker 2: room and just defensive ends position in general harder to
- 43:16Speaker 2: get onto the field as a true freshman in the collegiate.
- 43:18Speaker 2: Level in THE Sec Body sparrow can play, safety and
- 43:23Speaker 2: they'll let him play early and there will be opportunity
- 43:26Speaker 2: to do so as soon as his freshman season if
- 43:30Speaker 2: he earns, it and through that the development that he would,
- 43:35Speaker 2: RECEIVE i, mean there's an argument to. Make it's like
- 43:38Speaker 2: second to none in his process right?
- 43:41Speaker 1: Now true, true, true, true, true.
- 43:44Speaker 2: And cherry on Top jay is, like let's just say
- 43:47Speaker 2: the quiet part out. Loud because of this dynamic that
- 43:50Speaker 2: the scholarship structure and the meaning behind the safety, Position
- 43:53Speaker 2: oklahoma's going to dedicate, resources right, yeah they. Are this
- 43:59Speaker 2: is a position we're worth investing, in say at least.
- 44:02Speaker 1: So, yeah adding to that, though it makes me when
- 44:09Speaker 1: you look at the actual. Numbers this is SOMETHING i
- 44:12Speaker 1: was kind of thinking about, too because taking a big
- 44:16Speaker 1: class to me makes me feel like they have expectations
- 44:19Speaker 1: of people being, gone AND i don't think it's because of.
- 44:23Speaker 1: PORTAL i actually think it's more so they think some
- 44:25Speaker 1: guys may end up leaving for the league, early as,
- 44:28Speaker 1: in like you may see Our Reggie powers hit the
- 44:31Speaker 1: hit the league. Early he may end up if he
- 44:34Speaker 1: has the breakout season At, cheetah someone may, say, yeah
- 44:39Speaker 1: we'll gladly take a flyer on you in the day
- 44:41Speaker 1: early day. Two same thing With. Boganowski if he goes
- 44:45Speaker 1: out there and shows just the versatility you have to
- 44:47Speaker 1: at his, size he could end up a late first round.
- 44:52Speaker 1: Conversation he just has to show his ability to react
- 44:58Speaker 1: and be disruptive because right now when people pass his,
- 45:02Speaker 1: direction the percentages are, low like the success rate is
- 45:05Speaker 1: very low going at. Him, granted he didn't have a
- 45:08Speaker 1: whole bunch of snaps for you to be able to
- 45:10Speaker 1: have a massive sample, size but it's a big enough
- 45:13Speaker 1: size where it's been, noticeable and it's been pointed out
- 45:15Speaker 1: by some analytics guys that, hey you throw his direction
- 45:18Speaker 1: and the success rates. Low plus he likes to hit,
- 45:22Speaker 1: people in WHICH nfl likes people that like to hit.
- 45:24Speaker 1: People that helps him in. That so the conversation could
- 45:28Speaker 1: be that we could lose more people than we, anticipate,
- 45:31Speaker 1: Right like you, said it's five guys right, now and
- 45:34Speaker 1: you could lose, two maybe three to the league if
- 45:42Speaker 1: you Include cheetah, there you got a whole bunch of
- 45:45Speaker 1: places people to. Replenish and that's actually not a bad
- 45:48Speaker 1: idea to, have you, know going getting a sparrow Getting
- 45:51Speaker 1: SO i, know getting gash is still one that What
- 45:53Speaker 1: i've heard is that we're still gonna chip away at.
- 45:56Speaker 1: IT i don't think we win that text texts gonna
- 45:59Speaker 1: have locked that locked. Down Cody campbell's throwing way too
- 46:01Speaker 1: much money in the. Situation BUT i know they ain't gonna.
- 46:04Speaker 1: Quit is it for? Nothing, Probably BUT i appreciate the
- 46:10Speaker 1: fact that they're gonna put continue to put the effort.
- 46:12Speaker 1: In but, yeah if you look at some of the roster's,
- 46:15Speaker 1: spots BECAUSE i thought that was interesting WHEN i was
- 46:18Speaker 1: seeing how many players were Taking it's, like, man it
- 46:20Speaker 1: feels like they're gonna go for thirty and Then i'm Seeing, Okay,
- 46:23Speaker 1: yeah they're definitely going after. Thirty it's like, said, okay
- 46:25Speaker 1: so what changes are they anticipating in the next year
- 46:29Speaker 1: that's gonna warrant needing this many additional. Bodies.
- 46:33Speaker 2: YEAH i feel, like And i'm IF i seem, Distracted
- 46:40Speaker 2: i've got a twenty twenty eight guy that wants me
- 46:44Speaker 2: to change his interest status In oklahoma on his. Profile,
- 46:48Speaker 2: oh stay tuned for. That uh, So, uh collecting my thoughts.
- 46:59Speaker 2: HERE i feel like With, Boganowski bowen and Then. Powers you,
- 47:06Speaker 2: KNOW i saw someone ask about the cheatah, position, right
- 47:09Speaker 2: and that is that is kind of the safety. Room
- 47:13Speaker 2: BUT i also kind of know that they tend to
- 47:15Speaker 2: view it more as the linebacker, group and sometimesas will
- 47:21Speaker 2: will meet with the linebackers to for this is a
- 47:26Speaker 2: it's the top one hundred recruit texting me right now
- 47:28Speaker 2: on the. Show that's Why i'm. Distracted, uh he's. Interested,
- 47:33Speaker 2: yeah it's very good. News The cheatah, spot, though to,
- 47:39Speaker 2: me is still one that you recruit a safety body
- 47:43Speaker 2: and build them up to be the hybrid nickelbacker to
- 47:47Speaker 2: your your, point, right DO i think Body sparrow could do? That? Maybe? Yeah, like,
- 47:55Speaker 2: YEAH i also do think though THAT i really like
- 48:00Speaker 2: him in the back end and his movement. Skills but,
- 48:03Speaker 2: like here's the other thing that we don't talk about
- 48:05Speaker 2: enough as, well speaking of you, know you're breaking down
- 48:09Speaker 2: the five safeties and the losses you could. Have, yep
- 48:12Speaker 2: they they move those safeties down into the slot. ANYWAY
- 48:17Speaker 2: i Mean Peyton bowen was covering guys in the. Slot
- 48:21Speaker 2: held the pick that he had Against alabama In tuscaloosa
- 48:26Speaker 2: was when he was kind of playing. Cheetah. Right so,
- 48:31Speaker 2: hm that's even more of an incentive whether you view
- 48:35Speaker 2: them as a safety or a, cheetah because these safeties
- 48:38Speaker 2: are asked to play multiple. Positions they are, yeah essentially
- 48:41Speaker 2: as spot to be three spot. Safeties that that's, why
- 48:49Speaker 2: in my, opinion the sparrow thing is again one That
- 48:53Speaker 2: oklahoma is not just gonna let roll into the wind
- 48:57Speaker 2: to A byu or a utah m. Hmm.
- 49:01Speaker 1: Yeah they're gonna challenge everything to get him for that
- 49:03Speaker 1: for that exact reason as you.
- 49:05Speaker 2: Mentioned.
- 49:06Speaker 1: Right so from there, Though, fields, yes he is the next.
- 49:15Speaker 2: One, Okay So Jamie, FIELDS i LIKE i like this
- 49:23Speaker 2: guy a, lot. Man this is one of this is
- 49:26Speaker 2: one of my guys. Here So i've known About Jami
- 49:29Speaker 2: fields for a long. Time his old high school coach
- 49:32Speaker 2: and now coaches in the collegiate, level his trainer band
- 49:35Speaker 2: performance in The Great austin. Area i've had numerous people
- 49:41Speaker 2: put this guy on my, radar and then it wasn't
- 49:43Speaker 2: too long ago that he shows up In norman at
- 49:45Speaker 2: AN ou summer camp and gets the offer on the.
- 49:47Speaker 2: Spot guy that goes two ways in high, school dynamic.
- 49:52Speaker 2: Receiver at the prep, LEVEL i like him as A.
- 49:55Speaker 2: dB Texa SAINT m is recruiting him as a, receiver BUT, SMU,
- 50:00Speaker 2: Tcu oklahoma all like him as a. SAFETY M from
- 50:06Speaker 2: WHAT i have been told for the longest, time this
- 50:11Speaker 2: has been seen as one, that LIKE, SMU tcu, Whatever,
- 50:19Speaker 2: yeah And tootoverer's, QUESTION i think there's a reason WHY
- 50:22Speaker 2: smutcu And oklahoma all view him as a. Safety In,
- 50:25Speaker 2: TEXAS a AND m is the only one in the
- 50:28Speaker 2: finalist group right now primarily recruiting him as a. RECEIVER
- 50:31Speaker 2: i think he's better suited long term to play defensive
- 50:36Speaker 2: back because of, that this has been one, that LIKE,
- 50:43Speaker 2: smu has really been prominent. In but you, KNOW i
- 50:49Speaker 2: reported on this a long time. Ago oklahoma was quietly
- 50:55Speaker 2: going out to huddle high school practices and constantly getting
- 50:59Speaker 2: in front Of fields during the contact, period and it
- 51:03Speaker 2: wasn't being talked about a ton BECAUSE i, mean obviously
- 51:05Speaker 2: like Body, sparrow some of these other safeties were out,
- 51:08Speaker 2: there but oh you was like quietly laying the. Groundwork
- 51:13Speaker 2: and THEN i had that note that followed up that said,
- 51:15Speaker 2: like hey, Man Jim nagi And Brandon hall are going
- 51:20Speaker 2: to dinner with The fields. Family and to, me WHEN
- 51:25Speaker 2: i put that out, THERE i Texted brody shortly thereafter
- 51:29Speaker 2: AND i was, like hey, man they're going to try
- 51:30Speaker 2: to get this. Guy they're gonna try to get this
- 51:32Speaker 2: thing figured. Out AND i think that the five safety
- 51:34Speaker 2: situation going back to, that that's another thing THAT i
- 51:36Speaker 2: think really applies here With Jaden. Fields so you've got
- 51:42Speaker 2: four finalists, right he is wrapping. Up he should be
- 51:46Speaker 2: done with HIS tcu official visit. TODAY i am obviously
- 51:53Speaker 2: gonna follow with some, folks BUT i was even told
- 51:55Speaker 2: going into THE tcu official visit that it's probably still
- 51:59Speaker 2: gonna ultimately be BETWEEN smu And. Oklahoma Obviously i've talked
- 52:04Speaker 2: to people At, oklahoma BUT i think anyone who knows
- 52:07Speaker 2: me knows, That LIKE i go TO smu AND tcu every,
- 52:10Speaker 2: year great people on those. Staffs i've gotten to know
- 52:13Speaker 2: a lot of those folks very, well and and speaking of,
- 52:17Speaker 2: THEM i think THE smu publicly had a lot of.
- 52:20Speaker 2: Buzz behind the, SCENES SMUs had a hard time reading this,
- 52:24Speaker 2: guy and SO smu had its eyes on The oklahoma.
- 52:30Speaker 2: VISIT tcu was hopeful going into this, weekend but O
- 52:36Speaker 2: u AND smu started to really kind of separate over
- 52:39Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks and our, Guy Reggie powers
- 52:43Speaker 2: Hosted Jayden. Fields AND i think that that was big
- 52:48Speaker 2: Because regg IS i, mean, hey he was he was
- 52:52Speaker 2: raised by our, guy Reg, senior certified good, dude certified
- 52:58Speaker 2: good dude. Man AND i think That, FIELDS i don't
- 53:05Speaker 2: want to break this, DOWN i don't want to get
- 53:06Speaker 2: too long, winded but, LIKE i think that the pitch
- 53:09Speaker 2: to him of playing potentially pretty early on in that safety,
- 53:15Speaker 2: room in that, system in The Southeastern conference at the
- 53:18Speaker 2: highest levels was very. Appealing AND i had heard that
- 53:22Speaker 2: the family really enjoyed the, visit like really enjoyed the.
- 53:26Speaker 2: Visit maybe opened some eyes to the potential for a
- 53:32Speaker 2: career In norman AND aa situation In. Norman SO i
- 53:37Speaker 2: think this is a little bit more neck and neck
- 53:38Speaker 2: than it's ever really been. Before and, again if You're,
- 53:42Speaker 2: Oklahoma sparrow or, not it is in your best interest
- 53:46Speaker 2: to go out and get guys that you like a
- 53:48Speaker 2: lot at safety because you're losing a really good one
- 53:51Speaker 2: after this year to THE nfl and then you're at
- 53:54Speaker 2: your four, Right so, TRUE i think we'll see what
- 54:01Speaker 2: what gets settled In Fort. WORTH i, mean you KNOW,
- 54:07Speaker 2: tc you just did Get Daniel yebbett out of the
- 54:10Speaker 2: state Of.
- 54:10Speaker 1: Oklahoma you know that leads to the question of what
- 54:15Speaker 1: are we doing at wide? Receiver, yeah Besides Milan, Green
- 54:21Speaker 1: like do you see it's going for? More Like tofaer asked,
- 54:26Speaker 1: about you know fields at wide? Receiver how good is he?
- 54:30Speaker 1: Is he?
- 54:30Speaker 2: Is he? Is he?
- 54:31Speaker 1: Is he really? Good can he play? Both? Like what
- 54:34Speaker 1: is the what does it look like at wide? Receiver
- 54:36Speaker 1: because it does feel like you Got graydon and then
- 54:39Speaker 1: you've got you, Know milan which not, bad not a
- 54:43Speaker 1: bad you Know, hall but you would expect. More granted
- 54:48Speaker 1: last year we Got petite What november and that's basically
- 54:52Speaker 1: when your class blows up him and just See rogers
- 54:54Speaker 1: and you're, like, oh, okay we're. Gucci does is that
- 54:58Speaker 1: the same thing we're kind of expecting this? Year or
- 55:01Speaker 1: are they gonna be? Able are they gonna lock somebody additional?
- 55:03Speaker 1: Down because off top, Sidetrack we'll get back on the road,
- 55:09Speaker 1: here but we're gonna go through a trail real. Quick
- 55:11Speaker 1: what is up with the? Yebit peace? MAN i don't
- 55:15Speaker 1: understand top one other, kid but his offer sheet is
- 55:21Speaker 1: not that as extensive AS i would have. Expected, yeah
- 55:25Speaker 1: what is?
- 55:25Speaker 2: Up? Yeah so this is a little bit more of
- 55:32Speaker 2: a trickier situation to dive into than the public would.
- 55:36Speaker 2: Perceive AND i do think that that contributes directly to
- 55:40Speaker 2: like you, mentioned highly rated, prospect but not necessarily a
- 55:45Speaker 2: guy that is being heavily recruited by the biggest brands
- 55:50Speaker 2: in college. Football CHOSE tcu Over, Minnesota iowa and a
- 55:57Speaker 2: couple of Others okayahoma And Oklahoma state weren't recruiting him that,
- 56:02Speaker 2: much which the two big brands in, state and, like
- 56:08Speaker 2: there's a reason for. That SO i think that the
- 56:12Speaker 2: at the, surface what you have to address right off
- 56:15Speaker 2: the top Is Daniel yevitt is rated so highly as a,
- 56:18Speaker 2: PROSPECT i think it's important to reiterate THE nfl draft
- 56:21Speaker 2: projections the prospects of these. Recruits he's ready highly because
- 56:27Speaker 2: this is a freak of nature. Athlete, Man that's WHAT i.
- 56:31Speaker 2: Mean it's just unreal. THAT i don't know how many
- 56:36Speaker 2: people wrote read the story THAT i, wrote BUT i
- 56:38Speaker 2: know you texted me about it right. Afterwards the guy
- 56:43Speaker 2: has at his team workouts early in the, morning puking
- 56:49Speaker 2: and gets a two hour notice that his teammate is
- 56:52Speaker 2: going To norman later that day for the camp and just, Asks,
- 56:56Speaker 2: hey CAN i just like ride with you and go
- 56:59Speaker 2: decide spur of the, Moment i'm gonna go to AN
- 57:02Speaker 2: sec program and work. Out and after that workout after short,
- 57:07Speaker 2: notice broad jumps ten feet works out on both sides
- 57:11Speaker 2: of the. BALL i had Current oklahoma players When i'm
- 57:16Speaker 2: watching the one on. Ones i'm not gonna say, Who,
- 57:18Speaker 2: like Current oklahoma players were coming up to me being, Like,
- 57:21Speaker 2: hey who's this. GUY i was, Like Daniel, Yebbett he's
- 57:25Speaker 2: a dupe. Kid yebbett has a couple of pass breakups
- 57:28Speaker 2: where he jumps in the air and it's, acrobatic and
- 57:31Speaker 2: these players look back at me and they're, like, yeah
- 57:34Speaker 2: you might know what you're talking. About it's, like, well,
- 57:35Speaker 2: YEAH i don't have to say. Much That's Daniel yebt.
- 57:40Speaker 1: Dabble a little bit into this.
- 57:41Speaker 2: Game BUT i think when you talk to, him and
- 57:48Speaker 2: in the STORY i wrote, this like he shows, up
- 57:50Speaker 2: he didn't know any of the. Drills he admitted he was,
- 57:53Speaker 2: LIKE i didn't know WHAT i was. DOING i had
- 57:55Speaker 2: never seen some of this stuff, before BUT i didn't
- 57:57Speaker 2: really care BECAUSE i just Thought i'll try to just
- 57:59Speaker 2: get better at.
- 58:00Speaker 1: It mm.
- 58:01Speaker 2: Hmm he worked out on both sides of the. Ball but,
- 58:04Speaker 2: LIKE i think that's also a testament to the very
- 58:07Speaker 2: raw nature of this. Athlete this is a very raw.
- 58:10Speaker 2: Player he has a lot of growth ahead of him
- 58:13Speaker 2: as a true football. Player the athlete is, undeniable but
- 58:17Speaker 2: the football side acumen there's a long ways to go
- 58:23Speaker 2: in in today's, game especially at. Corner you, know ultimately
- 58:29Speaker 2: a lot of these, guys unless you're playing like offensive
- 58:31Speaker 2: or defensive, line are on a two year. Clock, yeah
- 58:35Speaker 2: AND i think that when you're that, raw but you're
- 58:38Speaker 2: that stand out of an, athlete a lot of programs
- 58:40Speaker 2: have to ask, themselves are we willing to do the
- 58:43Speaker 2: developmental thing and stash a valuable roster spot at corner
- 58:49Speaker 2: and dedicate high level resources to that. Player i'm not
- 58:54Speaker 2: saying that this is any feedback THAT i got from powerful,
- 58:57Speaker 2: programs but that's the current nature of the, business. Right
- 59:03Speaker 2: so you you take the raw athlete, aspect which makes
- 59:06Speaker 2: it kind of tricky to recruit, him and this is
- 59:10Speaker 2: where you get below the. Surface and Again i'm, TRYING
- 59:13Speaker 2: i have, to you, know navigate this, carefully but He
- 59:19Speaker 2: Daniel yebbott is not in a family situation at this
- 59:24Speaker 2: time that really Helps taylor his day to day life
- 59:28Speaker 2: towards the sport of. Football M he cannot go visit
- 59:34Speaker 2: places unless someone gives him a. Ride his parents have
- 59:40Speaker 2: a lot of other things going on and they just
- 59:42Speaker 2: quite frankly don't have the ability to dedicate a lot
- 59:48Speaker 2: of their time to the recruiting process M. Hm and
- 59:52Speaker 2: so not a lot Of yebbett's day to day is
- 59:56Speaker 2: dedicated to to football in the current environment that He
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: that makes, Sense so then you have to ask yourself
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: how much are you willing to bet on what the
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: change looks like when he is in a true football.
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: Environment that's why a lot of power forwards are willing
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: to make that, bet but a lot of the high
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: level power, force it's a trickier question to.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: Answer do you give up a spot for someone that
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: you know is gonna be a that you have no
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: clue what they're gonna look like when you have them
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: in a dedicated football, Space whereas with others that you
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: would take that bet, on you've already seen the. Work
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: you've seen that work ethic is enough. There they just
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: need to be polished and you know what They're you
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: have a better expectation with, them AND i guess we
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: Get but it's still too much of a. Wildcard, YEAH
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: i get.
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: It this is the biggest. Thing and you said it.
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: Perfectly every everyone THAT i talk to in recruiting, understandably
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: Says Daniel yebett is a wild. Card it is about
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: the frame of mine in which you view a wild
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: card to Be do you think a wild card is
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: a good thing or do you view a wild card
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: as something that you don't want to get mixed up
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: in considering your. Situation, true that's a setup to set up.
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: BASIS i JUST i think he's. AWESOME i think he's
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: a great. KID i think that there's just a lot
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: of questions that a lot of programs had a hard
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: time answering at this, time and because of, that programs
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: weren't able to place that bet in today's.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: Landscape which makes, Sense And, CHUCK i agree with. YOU
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: i do believe it's a lot, deeper and that's kind
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: of why we're we're playing. It we're playing it respectful for,
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: him let's put it that, way.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: Right but, also like you, KNOW i Saw chuck in the,
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: chat like he's a great. Kid Like i'm not saying, that,
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: Yeah LIKE i just don't want to talk too much
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: personal life stuff and, like but he's an awesome, dude
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: AND i think he's gonna do great things AT. Tcu
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: THE tcu is better suited at this time to make that,
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: bet yes than some. Others if that makes.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: Sense, yes that's exactly. It that's, good perfect. Point moving
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: on from, there twenty seven feels like we, are LIKE i,
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: said we're about to wrap that. Up we're gonna finish
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: at about thirty. Ish we may take a few extra,
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: projects just depends ON i guess what the roster construct
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: look construct looks. Like AND i think that that really
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: goes into if they expect anybody to portal in and
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: if y'all are curious about, that go look at the roster.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: Yourself take a gander at your players that have been
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: here for at least three, years and if depending on
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: how they, play we'll. Determine we'll let you know if, someone,
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: yeah what could actually, happen right, like you don't know
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: until They you won't know until the season ends what
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: that's gonna look. Like but at the same, time the
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: one Thing i've learned about this staff is they're giving
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: kids at minimum three years that want to be, here
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: and a lot of players that hit their fourth, year
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: they're making the decision not to they go somewhere and
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: start if they're not gonna start. Here so if you
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: want to have an, idea that's kind of that's the
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: first Place i've always. Looked BUT i. Digress we're gonna
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: move off with twenty. Seven twenty seven's basically done. It
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: we got about talk about some couple of twenty eight's
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: BECAUSE ck is getting text messages right now it appears
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: that AND i usually don't jump into the next, year
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: but until we get this class fully, signed sealed and,
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: delivered just Because i'm, like you, know looking too far.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: Ahead but we had some camp, recently and things seem
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: to be exciting right. Now so thank you, all of

- 1:04:23Speaker 1: sits with some of these players and you getting text
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: messages during the show because people are actually. Interested how
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: you feel that the twenty eight recruiting is starting to
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: go now That Jim naggy is put out there the
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: picture saying, hey, yes this face that we're making right
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: now is because we're looking at you twenty. Eight it
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: is your time.
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: Now, yeah, man this twenty twenty eight group has a
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: chance to be. Sick the some of the defensive linemen
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: that they're involved, with some of the prospects that roll
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: through campus during summer case. Season it was a lot of.
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: Fun i'm curious to see who you would like to
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: talk about in twenty twenty. Eight by the, way LIKE
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: ucla got a twenty twenty nine recruit, Today uh, no
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: you want? To twenty eight is a real. Year Gabe,
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: lynn Former oklahoma sooner out OF, ucla got a twenty
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: twenty nine corner committed. Today how about? That which is?
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: Crazy first congratch to. HIM i know, that you, know
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: one day we're gonna probably bring him, home but especially
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: because his wife is killing it in the in the
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: in the agent, game, Gosh nicole is just yea. Dominating
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: BUT i aggress twenty nine in a real, Year LIKE
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: i am THE i am so anti the two year
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: down the road commitments because they always seem to end,
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: up you, know growing out of their, decision like like Zay.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: ROW i loved him initially on the. COMMITMENT i did
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: a video or talk about it BECAUSE i was, like, yeah,
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: NO i don't see how long this is gonna. BE
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: i don't. THINK i don't see that this is gonna.
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: Last danny d commenced and he potentially could come back
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: ends up At. Oregon BUT i. Digress twenty twenty. Eight
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: there are some interesting players That oklahoma is looking, at
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: and there was. One the wide receiver is the one
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: that got my. Attention let me go get his name real.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: QUICK i had a brain fart literally thirty seconds. Ago
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: but we had a wide. Receiver here wasn't a, die,
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: which thank, You jalen ha died for making me feel.
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: OLD i really appreciate you for making me feel extremely
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: old at this point, because, YEAH i remember your. DAD
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: i used to trade for your dad WHEN i needed
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: a good running. Back but lacomb out Of San. Antonio,
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: Yeah carson, lacombe he came. HERE i, HEARD i heard
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: he cooked and it sounds like there's a substantial amount
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: of interest on both.
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: Sides, YES i know That carson McCombe showed up And,
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: norman and you, know he kind of was the star
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: of the. Show AND i MEAN i wrote about him.
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: Afterwards he was kind of like my alpha dog of
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: the day that. DAY i believe that was the same day,
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: though That Kellen hall showed up In. Norman so it
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: was tough to kind of so kind of dethrone the
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: This i've. Got that guy is sending me a voice
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: memo right. Now i'm all sorts of, distracted still getting
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: used to voice. MEMOS i feel, old.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: Which is Why.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: Carson, LETCOMBE i think it's okay for me to tell the. Story, Okay,
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: yeah Carsonal combe camped At texas like the, day but
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: four or two days, before and he's A San antonio area,
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: guy camp To texas and get the. Offer longhorns did
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: not pull the trigger that, day and SO i was
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: told That carson La combe was very much looking forward
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: to showing up In norman and seeing what he, accomplish you,
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: know seeing what he could accomplish in an area north
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: of The Red. River and so he had a little
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: bit of added motivation going into the day and that
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: was on. Display he bawled. OUT i, mean he kind
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: of just cooked whoever was in front of, him And
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: oklahoma makes the. Offer SO i think that through that
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: kind of meaningful emotional moment or stretch For Carson, lacombe
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: that has allowed Out oklahoma to scale this recruitment pretty.
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: Quickly he's a great, kid he is a he is
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: a perfect fit for What oklahoma wants to. Do AND
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: i think when you factor in kind of like what
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: we were talking about earlier at twenty twenty, seven we
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: didn't really dive into like the third receiver discussion a
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: ton in twenty. Seven, Yeah i'm not going to be
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: upset if they don't go take a. Third they talked
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: to some other guys That brody AND i have reported
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: on the site in the, past but they haven't offered anyone.
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: Formally AND i, think, hey, man you could just go
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: into the transfer portal for a receiver because there's so
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: many of, them they're.
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: Guaranteed, hell there's some. NOW i was actually even gonna
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: ask on top of, that do you think we we
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: hit this quote unquote WHAT i call a synthetic portal
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: because there's a whole bunch of dudes still sitting in the.
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: Portal they ain't got. Homes If oklahoma, decides, yeah we
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: can use the extra, body we can go grab one
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: out of. THERE i.
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: It's hard for me to, SAY i, mean because you,
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: KNOW i do think that a decent amount of those
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: freshmen are ready to. Roll talk to some people in
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: the program who were very high on the freshmen and
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: got more feedback on you, know An Elijah thomas and
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: A manny choice like hearing a lot of good stuff
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: about those. Guys but in twenty, seven you, know following the,
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: season If oklahoma just wanted to take those two and
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: then if they wanted to go get a portal, guy,
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: Well Carson lacombe is the bigger body wide receiver who
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: would then compliment kind of those guys that you have
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: in twenty twenty seven through the following. Class SO i
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: think That carson makes a lot of, Sense, jimmy that's
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: the comment THAT i was looking. For he makes it look.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: EASY i. WAS i was surprised how easy he made it,
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: look which is saying something because we have him as
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: a four star recruit and like.
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: Already two four.
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: Seven prospect in the. Rankings, so, uh he's a, dude
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: AND i think that he has a little bit of
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: attention pointed Towards norman at this.
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: Time, okay now that leads right to the next one
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: set of questions, Here Uh Brady quinn or was this
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: trade tag lea?
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: Faery? YEAH i Like Brady.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: QUINN i don't know, why besides his. NAME i Like Brady.
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: Quinn i've watched him spin. IT i like his. NAME
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: i like him come, IN i like him.
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: BOTH i know that's A i, mean here's here's my.
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: THING i think That oklahoma Leans Brady quinn at this.
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: Time so it doesn't really much matter WHAT i would,
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: say BECAUSE i think THAT ou is looking at At
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: brady maybe a little bit. HEAVIER i do think it's
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: a ONE a ONE b, Situation don't get me, wrong
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: But brady is the guy right now That oklahoma is
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: really pressing. For and at the same, TIME i have
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: heard The Trey Taglia fairy is somebody who you, know
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: is pretty high on a lot of other programs boards
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: like The Notre dame offer came through For. Trey i've
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: heard that that's a big, one you, know Like, TEXAS
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: a AND m has been recruiting for a long. TIME
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: i Think alabama's been in the mix for. Him Tagler
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: faery's got hearing from a. Lot it seems Like brady
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: is the one that's very receptive To oklahoma's message And
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: oklahoma is the one sending messages. Repetitively, YEAH i, Mean
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: jimmy tag is a. CAN i really Like.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: Trey trey though he, is.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: He's a Good he's a. Dude BRADY i like. Certainly
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: AND i THINK i facilitated an interview Between brady And
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: brody for, Us SO i Think brody's gonna have some
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: content From Brady quinn on the site this. Week oh,
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: YEAH i would Lean brady here at this, time.
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: And that's Probably it makes sense because it feels Like
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: i've been arbuckle selection, There Like jameson feels like he's
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: just he's just outside of what it feels like our
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: buckle the archetype of what you look for usually gets
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: those six to one guys that are very mobile and,
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: strong power run quarterbacks with good. ARMS i feel like
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: that With Bo bentley and of Course. Materi jameson's gonna
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: give him the tall guy that's also very, mobile WHICH
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: i think he's gonna be a very fun watch over
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: the next couple of. Years we just need to get
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: him on the field and get him. Ready But quinn
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: felt like another arbuckle archetype type, quarterback And betray being
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: a little bit. BIGGER i can see them as There
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: New jersey. Too kind of fascinating to see where he
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: what he turns. INTO i GUESS i don't. Know but
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: lead out wrapping things up, though good stuff on, recruiting
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: because recruiting is because we're about to hit the dead.
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: PERIOD i know things are going to really hit up
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: heat up with, commitments which another, Note i'm still very
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: impressed that we've got the vast majority of the class
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: done Before july, First like typically we get our class
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: done before the season, starts which is you, know good
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: majority of, it which is always a, plus but it's
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: usually Late July august boom, boom, boom boom, boom big.
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: Commitments and they did all this. Early see K, like
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: they got this. Done they, said this is WHAT i,
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: Want we're going to do it. Now, yeah pretty. IMPRESSIVE
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: i think that.
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: The oklahoma front, OFFICE i mean the amount of work
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: that they. Do they identify their guys, early and often
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: once they have that framework ironed, out they press for
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: the prospects that they. Want AND i was talking about
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: this with. Somebody oklahoma is recruiting the kind of guy
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: that will commit early and stay committed through the remainder
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: of you, know his senior, year.
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: Not the guys that are going to be a pseudo. Pain.
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: NO i, MEAN i think it says a lot That,
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: oklahoma not just this, cycle but the last couple With
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: venables and you know the other the other staffers and
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: then this front office, crew like for a few different.
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: Cycles now They oklahoma's had a class pretty much ironed
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: out for the most, part you, know middle of summer
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: or even, before you, know there's not a lot of
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: hangover unless you're trying to hit on one or two
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: final targets like A Jonathan hatton Or Jaden. Petitue. Right,
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: True so they recruit the kind of guy that like
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: wants to be a part of this thing At. Oklahoma
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: and it's a testament to the character that they look
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: for because they get guys committed in set. Early AND
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: i think that that's another thing that they take pride
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: in it as, well you, know.
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: Because they're getting a bunch of guys that are ready
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: to commit and be committed and be done with the process.
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: Early And i'm trying to tell people that, man that
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: is that is what they look. For like they'll they'll
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: chase some, players but they don't want to chase the whole.
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: Class they want the majority of the class to be
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: the ones, that, yeah this is WHY i want to.
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: Be i'mical head lock In and if they're not ready locked,
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: in like all, right then whenever you're ready to you
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: can you know where to find. Us but unless you're
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: one that we really want not gonna fully, chase we like,
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: to LIKE i, said we want to get the classes
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: locked up early as possible because then we can get
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: the financials together and. Preparation with that being, Said i'm
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: really curious that they're going to find a way to
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: move up signing day to the summer so that all
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: of that stuff is or at least have early signing
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: and Like. July that way it's done and then teams
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: can start really working on their budgets all the. Way
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: we'll see if we're got that.
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: Direction not to be so tangent about, that but like
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: if you were to have any signing, period or if
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: you were to have a signing day In, july you
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: better have another signing period In.
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: December got to you gotta have, To, yeah because, yeah
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: because that's that's senior. Season that's when some people take another.
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: Leap you may get a final rankings that would make.
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: Sense SO i think it should Be july And july
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: And december is probably the best. One it's a pretty good,
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: Question Seneca. Driver that is the one that everyone is terrified.
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: About top tight. END i, mean we Got Jason. WITTEN
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: i think we're fine, there BUT i Know kentucky's fighting for.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: Him you're still, confident still.
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: STRONG i think HE i think he signs With. OKLAHOMA
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: I i THINK i THINK i would be pretty surprised
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: at this point if he were to end up With
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: kentucky not you, KNOW i just think he's too bought
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: Into Jason witten and our buckle in the. System AND
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: i think now that like all this noise about the
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: tight end room has been, made like he's even more
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: bought into that, vision you know WHAT i?
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: Mean oh, Yeah i'm here for. That there's a kid
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: In 'it was that Cash Mathis Cash.
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: Mathis how are you telling about?
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: HIM i haven't seen. HIM i haven't seen. HIM i
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: need to look him.
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: Up i've seen him now with three different camps this. Summer,
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: also he's going. Around, yeah, MAN i like him a.
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: Lot Oklahoma state offered him the other. Day talk some
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: folks On Oklahoma. STATE i was out At Oklahoma state.
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: Today Oklahoma state had a private prospect camp the day before,
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: today which was their final open prospect, camp and so
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: talking to some folks At Oklahoma state who had Cash mathis,
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: coming they were, like this dude is you. KNOW i
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: was told that their defensive coordinator kind of made the
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: call of like we got to offer this, Guy like
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: we're doing ourselves a disservice if we don't offer a
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: defensive tackle in state like, THIS i think the question
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: remains to be seen whether or not he becomes someone
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: That oklahoma. Offers not necessarily that it has anything to
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: do with. Cash mathis more so about the caliber of
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: defensive tackle That oaklhom's already involved. With, YEAH i mean
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: some of the defensive linemen that they're going after right
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: now in twenty twenty, Eight Kellen Hall County Snipes prince, say,
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: LIKE i mean top one hundred players across the, board
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: borderline like five star. Guys, yeah and that doesn't even
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: really go into The Jiulani georgia's or you, know some
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: of these other guys at defensive end you can. Tackle
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: they've already ironed out a lot in twenty eight defensive line.
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: Wise THAT i think would be the roadblock, there if
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: that makes.
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: Sense, yeah that makes sense because you can't take too
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: many like you would like, to of, Course, yeah but.
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: You're.
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: Limited so it's.
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: Like it's it's it's basically like it's Not i'm not
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: saying that it's not something that could happen for. Cash
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: mathis just more has to get sorted out with some
- 1:20:50Speaker 2: of the guys that are already on the board because
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: they're of that caliber and established on o use side of,
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: things if that makes.
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: Sense, yeah, no that's one hundred percent, true because you
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: want to make sure you're still providing the proper attention
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: to the main guys that you, really really really want
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: that you've already locked in, on but you can you,
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: know you may throw something at him later as you
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: see the. Development he's twenty, eight so we got plenty
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: of times that there's no need to even. Rush all. Right,
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: lastly before we get out of, here these workouts are
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: starting to, start and you kind of made mentioned before
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: you're hearing some good. Stuff i've heard some great, things
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: especially around the Freshman LIKE i saw the propaganda we
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: put out On Jake crell of him lifting, weights AND
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: i swear he didn't like. Freshmen we know, that AND
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: i also already heard that he looks just that. Good
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: the running joke for me with him is you get
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: him And Crew, Jones you've got Your bosa. Brothers they've
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: just got different mothers and, dads but they're basically a
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: set Of bosas For oklahoma because of how talented they
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: are coming at the edge so, young and they're both huge.
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: Already so the freshmen do sound like they're doing Some Tank.
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: CARRINGTON i had questions on him when he was moving,
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: around when he committed To Florida state and then decommitted
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: and we snatched him. Up i'm, Like, okay there's something
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: going on. Here they caught wind of, something and after
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: hearing his, Story i'm, like, oh, yeah he may be
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: the kid that pops off out of nowhere next, year
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: at least in the next TWO i am impressed with this,
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: class even after all the negative, recruiting that we've got
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: dudes that could potentially pop off this. Season.
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: YEAH i, mean now you talk about native recruit him
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: and they went to the. Playoff they recruited a lot
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty six, guys and then they went
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: to the playoffs and they got jam And petite And
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: johnthanatt and all those. Guys. YEAH i don't think it's any.
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: Secret the freshman class is really. Promising Matfrews nelson is
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: a guy THAT I i have heard and seen a
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: good amount. FROM i think he was in that video
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: too that they put. OUT i didn't know he was he,
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: was he.
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: Was he was also in the. Video the propaganda machine was.
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: Fantastic nelson is one a guy That i've heard about
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: frequently is like someone who's already kind of just like
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: beloved across the board IS. Jasea. RODGERS i, mean people
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: forget that he was running with the backups against the
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: ONE a defense with depth and he had it was,
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: it five or six receptions for eighty something? Yards? Yep,
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: yeah man Like Jacia rodgers is the guy that people
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: adore And I've I've i've been told not only is
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: he kind of like consistently, showcasing he's someone who could play.
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: Early i've been told he's kind of ingratiated himself into
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: the locker room like. THAT i, Mean i've heard so
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: many of his teammates just like love.
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: To get that's the best.
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: Part oh. Gosh. Yeah so off the top of my,
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: head those would be two THAT i would quickly. Highlight
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: did you have anyone else that you wanted to bring?
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: UP i think for me is my question is So
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: Jasia rodgers is the, freshman AND i think probably ends
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: up on the field a little bit faster than. MORE
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: i think he's a little bit more refined than Even.
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: PETITE i think petit's just an athlete and he's got
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: to get. There Elijah thomas, basically but an actual true
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: wide receiver because you Know et was playing At jakota
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: and he was just the dominant. Force it's hard to you,
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: know it's hard to get around that when you're just that.
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: Dominant But i'm looking at the defense and you mentioned.
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: It ford Rkille. Ford NOW i think he's. Healthy i'm
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: wondering if he's gonna find a way to get into
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: that rotation him or even The Nico jandrou, like would
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: one of those end up pushing for getting some time
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: on the field With Mario robbins because you know Man
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: man is right Behind. Peyton how did that? Look because
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: it feels like we're gonna end up playing a freshman
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: out there a little.
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: BIT i, MEAN i know we keep beating a dead
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: horse with the safety, talk but it does apply to this.
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: Conversation you have three guys that are definitely gonna PLAY
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: A Boganaski bowen and A Marion. Robbinson, there those guys
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: are GONNA Pla jendrou is. INTERESTING i have been told
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: by people who Know mark Hill ford very well that
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: not number One mark L ford is gonna have a
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: shot to to potentially earn some. Time but number, TWO
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: i was told by several people WHO i trust in THE.
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: Markl ford camp that he specifically really wants to play
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: on special. Teams that's like Markel ford is telling a
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: lot of people WHO i know and trust that he
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: is really looking forward to contributing in the third phase
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: because he believes that if he goes out and kills
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: it in the third, phase he'll earn enough of that
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: trust to potentially play a good amount as a younger
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: player or even his second, year similar to like A
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: Jaydon hardy did when he Was, yes so that makes. Sense,
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: Yeah Michael ford is another one That i've heard some
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: good things. About still figuring some things out health, Wise,
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: Jay but, like, yeah you're right on with with this talk, Here.
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: Okay then that that WAS i felt like he was
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: one that was gonna sneak his way in and.
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: Add to the.
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: Rota and that's the beauty of this defense and the
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: Way Brian vinimo's in the staff does it is that
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: they rotate young players and they give him game, like,
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: UH i of, course you Know i'm in all the
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: viewers know you know of all the other initial, Here
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: i'm a big numbers. GUY i go look at snap.
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: COUNTS i like to look at experience that AND i
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: kind of gauge things on. That but the challenge With
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: oklahoma with that is and this is WHY i DON'T
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: i use it as a way to understand the, team
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: and THEN i dig to understand how they actually run
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: things Because oklahoma makes it so challenging because they play
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: so many, players like they're willing to rotate a young
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: player in in a critical moment in the game to
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: see if they got the juice like it. IT i,
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: mean you go out there and see you, like, wait
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: why is he on the field right? NOW i think
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: it was what twenty Four stutsman was out And i'm
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: Seeing samuel la siego out. There i'm seeing, like what
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: are these dudes doing on the. Field why Isn't danny
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: out here on third and? THREE i kind of like
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: the the big monster out there rated. Stuff but they
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: start to make plays and you're, like, okay and then
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: you started to catch on that if they can rotate
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: six on the in, tier if they can rotate four,
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: linebacker if they can rotate four maybe five at, safety
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: that when one of these, dudes if they go down
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: or they leave off and go to the. League your
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: worries are no longer there as to the next guy
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: walking up. Sooner, fans you're one of the few set
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: of fans that really know your backups very. Well but
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: not very many school fans can say. That, Like i've
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: talked to fans people that die, hards and they're, like,
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: yeah we've got a couple of guys that we think
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: are gonna be. Good we're not. Sure y'all can name
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: people's name and, say, oh we need his guy have a. Breakout,
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: Why because you've seen them on the, Field you've heard their,
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: name you've heard them make a, tackle you've heard them
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: have a. Breakup you hurt them with an, interception you
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: hurt them with a, sack tackle for. Loss that's a
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: different perspective than others in a lot of places in college,
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: football because not too many coaches trust young guys like.
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: That and SO i say that because you're gonna see
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: these freshmen, Play like linebacker room is the one WHERE
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: i expect a lot of freshmen to. Play, fortunately we
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: don't Get Jaco, curry who was the ONE i would really.
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: Wanted to see on the.
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: Field but, yeah you'll get Some christian more because he's
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: already at the size you're probably gonna. See, well there's
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: the Other. Jandro you know he's, down so you may.
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: Not but my point is you're gonna See you may See, bathurst,
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: Right you're gonna see. Him you're gonna See dane come
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: out of. Nowhere i'm. Expected and the way the propaganda
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: machine has been, going the the reviews have been Very
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: the vibes are high with our young players in his freshman,
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: Class so shout out to, evaluations.
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: Shout, OUT i, know, UH i. Know we we talked
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: a lot about the freshman. Class is there anybody that
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: is either a holdover or a transfer guy that you've
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: heard about in the off season that you maybe wanted to?
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: Highlight oh you. Are Marion harris is one name That
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: i've heard great reviews, about and that's promising because the
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: tape was COOL sec. Play he's played a lot of
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: THE sec, ball so it's. Cool it's one of those
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: where it feels like Another Walter rouse. Situation a guy
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: that's got a lot of experience just needs someone to
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: help fine tune his. Game he's gonna be a. Problem
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: he's been. Great the vibes on him have been. High
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: running back. Room of, course you, Know Jonathan hatton to
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: uh To lloyd De, vant vibes are very high. There
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: if there's one ROOM i really want to, see tight
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: end vibes are very high on all of. THEM i
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: want to see what this wide receiver room looks. Like
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: that to me is probably the ONE i don't have
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: the best gauge, on because it's hard to truly gauge.
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: It treill hasn't really been playing for the most, part
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: even though he's worked out With. Matereer livingston played a little,
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: bit but he was limited in the. Spring both, yeah,
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: yeah so you don't know, fully but you know what to.
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: Expect and but of, course at least to the Just
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: Sir rogers, conversation he got out, there you, know playing
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: against some one of the better d our our one
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: a's and he was out there. Cooking you got you
