- 2:36Speaker 1: I always love to get you get that audible going.
- 2:39Speaker 1: But we've been talking about this for a bit, travel
- 2:41Speaker 1: schedules being crazy on both ends. But I'm so glad
- 2:44Speaker 1: that we were able to really get down because this
- 2:46Speaker 1: is the perfect opportunity to chop it up with you.
- 2:47Speaker 1: I know that over there as soon as Illustrated you've

- 3:00Speaker 1: Got a promo probably going as well, so we'll make
- 3:03Speaker 1: sure to plug that right before the first commercial break.
- 3:06Speaker 1: But I wanted to talk really about first. I want
- 3:09Speaker 1: to open with this though, and and Ck, I want
- 3:12Speaker 1: you to you know, hear your boy out and tell
- 3:19Speaker 1: me what you think on this initial before we jump
- 3:21Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty sixth class. And this is more
- 3:23Speaker 1: so a big shout out to the viewers here and
- 3:26Speaker 1: how majority of you always come in here with very good,
- 3:30Speaker 1: level headed conversations, critiques all of that. Most of you do.
- 3:35Speaker 1: We've got some folks that I don't understand what y'all
- 3:39Speaker 1: be thinking. And let me explain what I mean. A
- 3:41Speaker 1: lot of y'all are mad at me. From the last
- 3:44Speaker 1: video we had on Sunday when we were talking about
- 3:46Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl and talking about how I'm not even
- 3:50Speaker 1: mad at Jaydeen not some of y'all are pissed. Some
- 3:52Speaker 1: of y'all said, y'all were disappointed in me. I'm like disappointed. Wow,
- 3:58Speaker 1: that hit me hard. Like I guess we have a
- 4:01Speaker 1: different thought process in the fact that I get that
- 4:05Speaker 1: you're gonna sometimes you're gonna miss, you're gonna with on
- 4:08Speaker 1: a player, but y'all are really mad at that dude.
- 4:11Speaker 1: And I mean, I don't I'm not saying y'all are
- 4:13Speaker 1: wrong for being mad. I totally get it, but man,
- 4:18Speaker 1: y'all was going off on me, and I think I
- 4:20Speaker 1: lost like fifteen subs because of that. Like, people are
- 4:23Speaker 1: pissed at that situation, right, I'm like, dang, we're there.
- 4:28Speaker 1: So see Cam, curious about your thoughts when it comes
- 4:32Speaker 1: to the whole Senior Bowl thing. We'll talk about a
- 4:36Speaker 1: couple of players, but really the odd situation.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Man, j not Saga as I call it, Yes.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Exactly where are you leading now? As we've gotten passed
- 4:46Speaker 1: and a little bit further removed from how all this
- 4:49Speaker 1: stuff was going down.
- 4:52Speaker 2: I wish it was over first and foremost. That was
- 4:55Speaker 2: one of the first things I talked about on our
- 4:57Speaker 2: pod was just like the moment you think you're out
- 5:00Speaker 2: of the jade and not Saga, it pulls you back in.
- 5:03Speaker 2: And I'm getting sick and tired of it because it
- 5:06Speaker 2: creates such a toxic environment. Yeah, by way of people
- 5:11Speaker 2: who otherwise would be talking about, you know, good good things.
- 5:15Speaker 2: I mean, this is the off season, it's good vibes.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Right now, we're supposed to be talking to Oklahoma football,
- 5:19Speaker 2: and yet Jay not, that cloud still hovers over all
- 5:23Speaker 2: of us. And so this is my thought on it.
- 5:27Speaker 2: I am leaning more towards your side. You're going to
- 5:30Speaker 2: have missus. Was it arguably, you know, I don't want
- 5:35Speaker 2: to say catastrophic miss, but it's a pretty substantial miss
- 5:39Speaker 2: when you consider number one the financial loss, but the
- 5:43Speaker 2: number two the potential impact that he was expected to have.
- 5:47Speaker 2: I mean, imagine if a running back of that caliber
- 5:50Speaker 2: of Jade not meets the expectation level and they have
- 5:53Speaker 2: that element in their offense last season, I mean, that's
- 5:56Speaker 2: that's a game changer, right, And so I think I
- 6:01Speaker 2: totally understand where people are coming from with the frustration.
- 6:04Speaker 2: And also you see some of the stuff out there,
- 6:06Speaker 2: and you we all have heard some of the stories. Right,
- 6:10Speaker 2: it is okay to be mad about a lot of that.
- 6:15Speaker 2: But I am more with you because I say, okay,
- 6:19Speaker 2: especially me working in like the recruiting space, it's like
- 6:22Speaker 2: you're only as good as what you learn from your missus. Yes,
- 6:26Speaker 2: And I think that's where I'm at is, you know what, man,
- 6:29Speaker 2: if this is gonna happen, get it out of the way,
- 6:31Speaker 2: and get it out of the way early in a
- 6:32Speaker 2: year where you went to the playoff. Now make sure
- 6:36Speaker 2: it doesn't happen again. And whatever lessons learned applied that
- 6:40Speaker 2: moving forward, and hey, your operation just got a whole
- 6:42Speaker 2: lot better. And if it means that this jade not
- 6:45Speaker 2: saga leads to that somewhere down the road, I'm okay
- 6:48Speaker 2: with that.
- 6:49Speaker 1: And that's where and I'm the same thing like you
- 6:51Speaker 1: just you know, you live, you learn, you get loves,
- 6:52Speaker 1: you get past it, and you understand it. All right,
- 6:54Speaker 1: we screwed up, don't do don't let it happen again.
- 6:57Speaker 1: And I don't think they will. I mean correction, it's
- 7:00Speaker 1: gonna happen again in some capacity because you can't bat
- 7:03Speaker 1: a thousand, it's impossible. And so like that's more so
- 7:07Speaker 1: like I'm trying to tell a lot of people, a
- 7:08Speaker 1: lot of y'all is I get being upset. You won't.
- 7:13Speaker 1: You won't. You won't get me saying that, oh, you
- 7:16Speaker 1: guys are wrong for feeling upset. No, I'm not. I'll
- 7:20Speaker 1: never tell you that. I'm just not because it's just
- 7:24Speaker 1: just like well, like you said, if he would have
- 7:26Speaker 1: came in and been great, oh my gosh, we wouldn't
- 7:29Speaker 1: be saying a word. We'd be happy. But because we
- 7:31Speaker 1: didn't get what we wanted, I know a lot of
- 7:33Speaker 1: people are upset about it, and that's okay. So that
- 7:36Speaker 1: being said, that's the closing chapter for me on that.
- 7:39Speaker 1: There's a lot to talk about, a lot of great
- 7:40Speaker 1: things to talk about. We've got the twenty twenty six
- 7:43Speaker 1: recruiting class done. We added a recruit this morning. Me
- 7:48Speaker 1: and me and Colin was talking about it last night
- 7:50Speaker 1: at that after Jim Naggy put that tweet out him like, brother,
- 7:54Speaker 1: who is this? He's like, I don't know. Now he
- 7:57Speaker 1: wake up this morning, he's got an article done and
- 8:00Speaker 1: he's ready to go. And but no, I am very
- 8:05Speaker 1: happy and excited about what the possibility is with this
- 8:11Speaker 1: Lebron Bauer kid, mainly because when I saw that markel Ford,
- 8:17Speaker 1: that's overly excited here, he's over the moon.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Correct.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Hey, when dudes are excited about they boys getting there
- 8:25Speaker 1: and they talk about getting it out the mud and
- 8:27Speaker 1: they gonna be busting, they tail the play as true freshman,
- 8:30Speaker 1: I'm all ears now, I'm all there's so as you
- 8:33Speaker 1: went through in preparation of putting this stuff out around,
- 8:37Speaker 1: mister Lebron, how do you feel about sex?
- 8:40Speaker 2: Well, you know as well as anybody, because like you said,
- 8:43Speaker 2: we were texting about this player last night and I
- 8:46Speaker 2: told you, hey, Lebron Dower committed tomorrow and I had
- 8:50Speaker 2: you watch the tape and we swapped you got my
- 8:53Speaker 2: unfiltered opinion last night, Did you or did you not?
- 8:58Speaker 2: Here's what my calculating an objective stance would be. I
- 9:02Speaker 2: think that there are two very distinct opinions on this edition. Yeah,
- 9:08Speaker 2: one is a lot of optimism and a lot of
- 9:10Speaker 2: fans are saying, hey, I like it. I can understand it.
- 9:15Speaker 2: And there are other fans or people out there who
- 9:19Speaker 2: I got a few texts last night and into this
- 9:21Speaker 2: morning asking or sharing their personal opinion of maybe a
- 9:27Speaker 2: different preference. And for me, I've followed lebron Bauer for
- 9:32Speaker 2: a long time. He's out in Allen. I'm over here
- 9:35Speaker 2: in Louisville. It's like a half hour drive and I've
- 9:39Speaker 2: spent a lot of time at Allen on the seven
- 9:42Speaker 2: on seventh circuit. Lebron Bauer trains with one of the
- 9:46Speaker 2: best defensive backs trainers in the country and coach Flight,
- 9:50Speaker 2: who I know well, and so he's learned from one
- 9:53Speaker 2: of the best in all of America. Flights clients are
- 9:56Speaker 2: like Devin Witherspoon and Christian Gonzales, whor playing with weekends
- 10:00Speaker 2: of this guy. You know he's trained Lebron Bauer, and
- 10:03Speaker 2: then he's played at Allen, He's played at high level.
- 10:07Speaker 2: I think two things can be true. Number One, lebron
- 10:10Speaker 2: Bauer is someone who cares and understands the defensive back position.
- 10:15Speaker 2: I will take that, especially at a position like dB
- 10:19Speaker 2: right where it's hard to find guys who can play there.
- 10:21Speaker 2: It's hard to find guys who are versatile and can
- 10:25Speaker 2: bring that level of play to a number of different
- 10:27Speaker 2: positions in the secondary. I think that's what lebron Bauer does. Now.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Is he a little bit lower on the ratings scale
- 10:34Speaker 2: because the physical makeup? Maybe some of the athletic markers
- 10:39Speaker 2: are not all that comparable to some of his peers. Maybe,
- 10:43Speaker 2: but we're again, we're also talking about four and five
- 10:45Speaker 2: star guys that are unbelievable athletes, and maybe they need
- 10:49Speaker 2: a little bit more polished though to play dB. True.
- 10:54Speaker 2: What I was telling someone this morning as I was
- 10:56Speaker 2: texting you and I was texting a lot of colleagues
- 10:59Speaker 2: and friends about Lebron was like, I think we really
- 11:02Speaker 2: have to start wrapping our head around these powerful programs
- 11:08Speaker 2: asking themselves, Hey, how much do you value a roster
- 11:12Speaker 2: spot being occupied at a relatively competitive level for the
- 11:16Speaker 2: next two to three years. And it turns out the
- 11:18Speaker 2: answer is they value that a whole lot, right, And
- 11:22Speaker 2: a guy like lebron Bauer kind of reminds me of
- 11:25Speaker 2: an old school signing day take where you would see
- 11:28Speaker 2: a Georgia or in Alabama or in Oklahoma take a
- 11:31Speaker 2: flyer on a guy that they had they liked on
- 11:34Speaker 2: the board, but they didn't know if the spot was
- 11:36Speaker 2: going to be available, or they wanted to see some
- 11:39Speaker 2: senior tape. And I think that lebron Bauer answered a
- 11:43Speaker 2: lot of questions. He checked some boxes. Oklahoma had a
- 11:46Speaker 2: late vacancy at corner. They told you that during the
- 11:49Speaker 2: December signing period, right, they did, they did, and the
- 11:52Speaker 2: stars aligned. And because of all this combined, I'm okay
- 11:56Speaker 2: with taking lebron Bauer. And I'm excited for the kid
- 11:58Speaker 2: because he's worked his butt off behind the scenes to
- 12:00Speaker 2: get to an opportunity like this. He's known markel Ford
- 12:03Speaker 2: since he was a kid, so he gets to go
- 12:05Speaker 2: and be with someone that he's known since childhood. And
- 12:09Speaker 2: for Oklahoma, you're taking a guy that there's a lot
- 12:11Speaker 2: to like here in at the very least, you're gonna
- 12:14Speaker 2: get a guy who's gonna give it his all in practice,
- 12:17Speaker 2: maybe give you some snaps in the third phase. Who
- 12:19Speaker 2: knows what the future holds, but he wants to be
- 12:21Speaker 2: there and he's going to potentially be around for a while.
- 12:24Speaker 1: And so, as you mentioned we were texting talking about it,
- 12:27Speaker 1: I saw some of the I saw a lot of
- 12:29Speaker 1: attributes of actual players we have on the roster today.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Now I want you to hear your boy out. Listen
- 12:34Speaker 1: to me when I say this. When I initially started
- 12:37Speaker 1: watching his younger tape sophomore year, which I heard that
- 12:40Speaker 1: he was pretty coveted as a freshman, one of the
- 12:43Speaker 1: biggest issues he's just stopped growing. Now Alan has him
- 12:46Speaker 1: listed now the school measured him at six foot one
- 12:49Speaker 1: seventy one seventy like one, so I don't know how
- 12:55Speaker 1: true that is, but looking at his bench in numbers
- 12:57Speaker 1: and all of that.
- 12:58Speaker 2: I can tell you that I've got some of the
- 13:00Speaker 2: mind data stuff and he's verified at about five eleven
- 13:03Speaker 2: in a shade and probably about one sixty five one seventy.
- 13:07Speaker 1: So that's they gave him. They gave him a little extra,
- 13:10Speaker 1: which is okay, right, I'm not gonna I'll.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Tell you do the recruiting two and ten, you go,
- 13:15Speaker 2: it's about I have an ent or two down and
- 13:17Speaker 2: ten pounds.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Exactly and that's and that now and exactly that. And
- 13:21Speaker 1: that's what I was thinking between five ten, five eleven.
- 13:23Speaker 1: And that's not bad. I'm okay with that. We have
- 13:25Speaker 1: corners like that. But when I watched him, and I'm
- 13:27Speaker 1: gonna put this up here because I think this is
- 13:28Speaker 1: what why people why want people to understand why I
- 13:30Speaker 1: was saying this Initially watching him in a sophomore tape
- 13:34Speaker 1: and then looking at senior tape, I saw a little
- 13:37Speaker 1: bit of Courtland Guillery and that's the dog side of them.
- 13:40Speaker 1: And then I saw a little bit of JJ Newcomb,
- 13:42Speaker 1: who came from Arizona. I saw some of that with
- 13:45Speaker 1: the physicality with them. And this is why I say
- 13:47Speaker 1: that Now, I don't I don't think that he today.
- 13:51Speaker 1: He's not Courtland Guillery level of ability. He's not there yet.
- 13:56Speaker 1: He's got work to do. True, this jumped out to me.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Dog six block punts, four blocked field goals, three all
- 14:08Speaker 1: side kick recoveries. You know what that means. Screw the
- 14:11Speaker 1: rest of the stuff. Those three things right there tell
- 14:14Speaker 1: me one thing. Dude has effort and he is not
- 14:18Speaker 1: gonna stop playing hard. You can't get that from a
- 14:21Speaker 1: lot of people, right Like that is a When I
- 14:24Speaker 1: saw that, I'm like, oh, that is impressive. I am
- 14:28Speaker 1: impressed with the fact that you can get four block
- 14:33Speaker 1: field goals six block punts, like you have to actually hustle.
- 14:38Speaker 1: That's the Peyton Bowen said. That was the thing that
- 14:39Speaker 1: I loved most about Peyton Bowen is that I knew
- 14:42Speaker 1: that he was gonna give you all kinds of effort.
- 14:46Speaker 1: That impressed the hell out of me with that, Like,
- 14:48Speaker 1: look at the numbers, everything else cool. Those three things said, oh,
- 14:52Speaker 1: this is why, And Naggie said it couple of days ago.
- 14:56Speaker 1: I recall him saying, screw the ratings system and all
- 14:59Speaker 1: of that. Focal point here is we want dudes with
- 15:02Speaker 1: some dog in them. We want dudes that that grind,
- 15:06Speaker 1: ready to work hard. Brian Bauer may not be at
- 15:10Speaker 1: the attributes level yet, he may not be at the
- 15:12Speaker 1: skill set just yet, but damn if it ain't gonna
- 15:17Speaker 1: be because of trying. Like if he doesn't get there,
- 15:20Speaker 1: it ain't gonna because he was lazy. Those things make
- 15:22Speaker 1: me feel like he's got the effort and the mentality
- 15:25Speaker 1: to try to be as successful as possible.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Yes, I it's interesting. I my passion for football theory
- 15:34Speaker 2: and evaluation Over the last few years. I was lucky
- 15:37Speaker 2: enough to read like a pamphlet that Nick Saban helped
- 15:42Speaker 2: put together about scouting players. And you know, he's a
- 15:45Speaker 2: big guy. And one sentence that I read from Nick
- 15:48Speaker 2: Saban in this like scouting study that I was doing
- 15:50Speaker 2: was Saban talked about, how, look, we can talk about
- 15:53Speaker 2: heart and hustle all we want, but if you've got
- 15:55Speaker 2: a roster full of heart and hustle type guys, you're
- 15:58Speaker 2: just gonna lose games in like a really emotional way.
- 16:02Speaker 2: But his counter to that was, if you have guys
- 16:06Speaker 2: who care and they have the elements to be a
- 16:08Speaker 2: good football player long term, and they have clear ability
- 16:13Speaker 2: and talent, then you have the perfect mixture to go
- 16:16Speaker 2: out and win games in the short term the long term.
- 16:18Speaker 2: And I think that's kind of what lebron Bauer is here,
- 16:21Speaker 2: right YEP. I don't view him as strictly a herd
- 16:26Speaker 2: and hustle guy. If I did, there would be a problem.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Why I think Oklahoma finn should be excited about this
- 16:32Speaker 2: player is kind of what I was discussing earlier, this
- 16:35Speaker 2: is someone who can play all three positions in the
- 16:38Speaker 2: defensive backfield, perimeter, corner, I could see, you know, the
- 16:41Speaker 2: boundary field stuff, maybe safety and slot. I think there's
- 16:45Speaker 2: the ability to kick inside and guard in the interior.
- 16:50Speaker 2: There's also the third phase stuff, right, and I think
- 16:54Speaker 2: Courtland Guillery you brought up, I mean Courtland Guillory is
- 16:57Speaker 2: also an insane athlete who care and had some pretty
- 17:01Speaker 2: incredible offensive tape. While you get excited about Lebron Bauer,
- 17:06Speaker 2: as you know, he's getting ready to make a play
- 17:07Speaker 2: on a ball here, this is someone who has proven
- 17:11Speaker 2: on ball production, multiple interceptions, multiple pass breakups. I should
- 17:16Speaker 2: mention too. Was named the twenty twenty five Alan Eagles
- 17:20Speaker 2: team MVP by Oh boy, that's that's Allen's coaching staff
- 17:25Speaker 2: naming him the team MVP. I would label that notable
- 17:29Speaker 2: because the other thing that I would bring up, the
- 17:32Speaker 2: third phase ability, is what really stands out. You have
- 17:34Speaker 2: got to find guys who are going to stay in
- 17:37Speaker 2: your program, develop and learn your systems, and they're going
- 17:41Speaker 2: to give it. They're all and what we all have
- 17:43Speaker 2: learned over the years is an incredibly important part of
- 17:47Speaker 2: the game in special teams. If Lebron Bauer has shown
- 17:51Speaker 2: you he's not only willing to play special teams, he's
- 17:54Speaker 2: going to make an impact on special teams. Will that
- 17:56Speaker 2: translate to the collegiate level. That's not the time to
- 18:00Speaker 2: debate currently, he's sure as hell going to try to
- 18:03Speaker 2: bring a similar impact and for that plus the other
- 18:05Speaker 2: reasons I mentioned, like I admire the shot taken here,
- 18:10Speaker 2: because again, when you go down your checklist as a
- 18:12Speaker 2: quote unquote evaluator, there are things that green light for
- 18:16Speaker 2: you as you're going down the list exactly.
- 18:18Speaker 1: And now that was what jumped out to me, is
- 18:21Speaker 1: like you said, it's he's gonna play special teams and
- 18:23Speaker 1: he's gonna play it with with enthusiasm and and focus.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Which there you go. Saw that matters, right, that's what you.
- 18:33Speaker 1: You want players that want to be here. You want
- 18:35Speaker 1: players that want to be on the field. And if anything,
- 18:38Speaker 1: it pushes everybody else around him because he's gonna be
- 18:41Speaker 1: considered to try hard or go hard. He's going hard.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Why is it going so hard? Everybody's around is gonna
- 18:45Speaker 1: be like coach gonna be like, well, he wants to play.
- 18:48Speaker 1: You don't want a whole bunch of dudes. That's just
- 18:49Speaker 1: kind of chilling, like so, yeah, I thought it was
- 18:53Speaker 1: a good late ev ow. I know that he mentioned
- 18:55Speaker 1: in one of the articles I saw that his focus
- 18:59Speaker 1: was Arkansas. I think Arkansas was recruiting him heavy. He
- 19:02Speaker 1: was probably gonna end up there coaching staff changes, and
- 19:05Speaker 1: then things kind of felt quote unquote fell apart, and
- 19:09Speaker 1: from there he started to get a lot more calls
- 19:13Speaker 1: from from some p fours. I mean, tex of course
- 19:16Speaker 1: was in there. He had Arizona, Oklahoma comes here. At
- 19:20Speaker 1: the end he had I said, Arkansas was in there, TCU.
- 19:23Speaker 1: So you had some of the big twelves. You had,
- 19:25Speaker 1: you know, a couple of secs. It appears that they
- 19:29Speaker 1: were because of their push he and and then when
- 19:32Speaker 1: Oklahoma pulled up on him, he was like, yep, I
- 19:35Speaker 1: want this now. I'm wondering was this a jave a
- 19:37Speaker 1: lie special too with Naggie and the staff. I'm wondering
- 19:40Speaker 1: if Val was heavily involved in this. I know he
- 19:42Speaker 1: sent the little heart emoji deal when Val put out
- 19:45Speaker 1: his statement, shout out to him, I don't get to
- 19:47Speaker 1: ask you about that.
- 19:48Speaker 2: Though.
- 19:48Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna transition right into that, and then
- 19:50Speaker 1: we're gonna go right into the twenty sixth class the
- 19:52Speaker 1: live bouncing out to the NFL.
- 19:54Speaker 2: What you think, Yeah, I first of all, I'm extremely
- 19:57Speaker 2: happy for Vly.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Uh yeah, because that's oh dude, Like, I know that's
- 20:01Speaker 1: your guy. You met him a while ago.
- 20:03Speaker 2: I'm at why was one of the first coaches when
- 20:06Speaker 2: I came back to cover Oklahoma when I came back
- 20:08Speaker 2: from Tennessee. I go to a lot of coaching clinics
- 20:12Speaker 2: down here in Texas and Val has spoken in a
- 20:15Speaker 2: couple that I've been at, and I've been able to
- 20:17Speaker 2: watch him present I've been around obviously when he's interacting
- 20:21Speaker 2: with coaches, and there was one specific presentation I watched
- 20:25Speaker 2: with Vly one of my first few weeks back at
- 20:28Speaker 2: this this clinic, and I'm watching it, I'm just like, man,
- 20:31Speaker 2: this guy like he gets it, and you can tell
- 20:35Speaker 2: he's an excellent teacher, and that guy cares about the
- 20:39Speaker 2: intricacies of the position as much as anyone I've been around,
- 20:42Speaker 2: which I do find cool and a big reason why
- 20:45Speaker 2: he's going to the NFL, right, but his passion for
- 20:48Speaker 2: it right, and you can tell that all these corners
- 20:52Speaker 2: I remember when Oh, you did the the summer practice
- 20:56Speaker 2: videos before this season and all the owners are making
- 21:00Speaker 2: fun of a lie. But they're all making fun of
- 21:02Speaker 2: a lie with him talking about you know, i's keys, responsibilities,
- 21:06Speaker 2: all these different things about the position. And that's the lie. Man,
- 21:10Speaker 2: He's He has been very cool to watch talk about
- 21:14Speaker 2: the defensive back position. He has helped me learn about
- 21:19Speaker 2: dB play and I'm always looking to acquire information as
- 21:23Speaker 2: someone in the evaluation space. And Valy deserves the NFL
- 21:27Speaker 2: and I think he's going to thrive at the professional level.
- 21:31Speaker 2: I think he's built for it. He deserves it. I
- 21:34Speaker 2: know it's something he wanted to do too. And to
- 21:35Speaker 2: get that opportunity with a guy like Jim Leonard, who
- 21:37Speaker 2: he knows. And by the way, like what are the
- 21:39Speaker 2: other sharper defensive back minds in all football?
- 21:42Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 21:43Speaker 2: Pretty great? And beat it. Oh, by the way, like
- 21:47Speaker 2: you don't have to deal with the current landscape that
- 21:49Speaker 2: is college football either. So I'm fired up for thely
- 21:52Speaker 2: And it creates one hell of a vacancy too at Oklahoma.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Yeah, And I know that he's always wanted to get
- 21:59Speaker 1: into the he wanted to get into the DC space.
- 22:03Speaker 1: I know that that's that's been the talk or whatnot
- 22:06Speaker 1: for him on a bit is that he had interest
- 22:08Speaker 1: being a divisive coordinator. And like I said, back with
- 22:10Speaker 1: his boy Jim Leonard, who played ball with him at Wisconsin.
- 22:14Speaker 1: The Notre Dame one was interesting because Chris ash who
- 22:17Speaker 1: was a coach at Wisconsin when he was a player,
- 22:21Speaker 1: was another tide. I'm just like, dang, there's so many connections,
- 22:24Speaker 1: so many we so many webs weaved in this that
- 22:27Speaker 1: made me wonder how exactly I was gonna come together. So, okay,
- 22:30Speaker 1: well we're gonna let's jump take a quick breather. I
- 22:34Speaker 1: want to talk about the do you want to.
- 22:37Speaker 2: Come back to the I do want to come back
- 22:38Speaker 2: to the cornerback coaching vacancy though, because I yes. Question, Well, all.

- 24:50Speaker 1: we're in the No. All right, c K, you had
- 24:53Speaker 1: a question about the vly piece. Let's just jump into that,
- 24:56Speaker 1: and then we're gonna jump into the twenty six class.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Now that it's officially complete.
- 25:00Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's let's we don't have to spend too
- 25:02Speaker 2: much time on this. But now that the vacancy has
- 25:03Speaker 2: been created, ja VELI like, we just talked about big
- 25:06Speaker 2: shoes to Phil and Norman. I thought he was someone
- 25:09Speaker 2: who on the staff maybe got overlooked at times for
- 25:11Speaker 2: the job that he did. But man, I put together
- 25:14Speaker 2: the hot board, as Sooner's illustrated to listed off eleven names,
- 25:18Speaker 2: so subscribers can check that out. But you think about it,
- 25:21Speaker 2: this cornerbacks coach position is going to be coveted by
- 25:24Speaker 2: so many damn good coaches across you know, college football
- 25:29Speaker 2: and maybe even trickling into the NFL. And so my
- 25:32Speaker 2: simple question to you and to the chat, because I'm
- 25:33Speaker 2: looking to the chat and I've been asking a lot
- 25:36Speaker 2: of fans this, who do you want as the next
- 25:39Speaker 2: Olahoma cornerbacks coach? And why I'm curious?
- 25:43Speaker 1: I'm curious, Yeah, who do ILL want? So for me,
- 25:47Speaker 1: there's so many options, Like I dropped a video right
- 25:50Speaker 1: after the those announcement I was leaving, and I had
- 25:56Speaker 1: a few names that were initially on my list, so
- 25:58Speaker 1: my initial list, and then I started noticing that the
- 26:02Speaker 1: list that I was putting together a lot of you
- 26:04Speaker 1: all the experts out there and the insiders had similar
- 26:06Speaker 1: coaches on there. Right, Like I was looking at Xavier Brewer,
- 26:09Speaker 1: the current defensive analysts. He's been here since BV gut
- 26:13Speaker 1: here former Clemson players, so of course he understands the defense.
- 26:16Speaker 1: And here's a grat assistant at Clemson, so he's been
- 26:19Speaker 1: on bv's hip for a long time. So I totally
- 26:22Speaker 1: could see that they would be like, you know what,
- 26:24Speaker 1: we're gonna do an internal higher Now granted they didn't
- 26:27Speaker 1: do that with Skolski at the linebacker spot. They brought
- 26:30Speaker 1: Wes Goodwin as well as Nate Dryling in and he
- 26:32Speaker 1: did something different, So I'm like, Okay, possibility we're gonna
- 26:35Speaker 1: go on the outside. You could look at like a
- 26:37Speaker 1: Dominic Franks in Tulsa, right, he's a former player, played
- 26:40Speaker 1: for BV. Should understand bv's defense terminology, all that, and
- 26:44Speaker 1: he's been a cornerback coach for a bit. I looked
- 26:47Speaker 1: at Gabe Lynn, who's now UCLA, spent time at Colorado,
- 26:52Speaker 1: and you know he's been doing some moving around. And
- 26:55Speaker 1: then it was a Chip Vinny, who's another coach. He's
- 26:57Speaker 1: at Arizona. He spent time in Oklahoma years Oklahoma actually,
- 27:01Speaker 1: and he was here during bv's first stint. He was
- 27:04Speaker 1: considered one of the up and coming guys I'd been
- 27:06Speaker 1: hearing about for a while, and you know, Arizona's not
- 27:09Speaker 1: too shabby in the secondary. When he was there, he
- 27:12Speaker 1: had to cary O. Davis for one year and that
- 27:13Speaker 1: was probably his best year. So it's always an option.
- 27:17Speaker 1: But then you had to get into those names of
- 27:19Speaker 1: people that actually have experience. The biggest one, the one
- 27:22Speaker 1: that I'm thinking that would make the most sense, honestly,
- 27:25Speaker 1: Colin Mike Ree at Clemson. I know when BV came here,
- 27:29Speaker 1: he was basically just you know, pillaging every single Clemson employee.
- 27:34Speaker 1: He was doing basically what a Kurt Signetti did at Indiana.
- 27:37Speaker 1: He grabbed. He was looking at every single defensive staff
- 27:40Speaker 1: member that knows his stuff and said, hey, come with me. Now.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Miguel Chavis was probably was the only one I'm correct
- 27:46Speaker 1: that wasn't an actual position coach and got elevated. But
- 27:50Speaker 1: he obviously showed you within these four years he was ready.
- 27:53Speaker 1: So but Mike Reed didn't follow, which I thought was odd,
- 27:57Speaker 1: but he stuck through Wes Goodwin. So okay, I standing
- 28:00Speaker 1: that Wes is gone, Mike's there basically the last man standing.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Kind of makes sense that he would be, you know,
- 28:08Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call him to come back
- 28:09Speaker 1: here and say you sure you want to stay over
- 28:12Speaker 1: there now that everybody's gone, You sure you don't want
- 28:14Speaker 1: to come to join your boy? I could see that
- 28:16Speaker 1: one being the one that happens. He would make the
- 28:20Speaker 1: most sense because of, like I said, understanding the system,
- 28:24Speaker 1: working with BV for so long, plus he's very experienced,
- 28:27Speaker 1: and it sounds like it appears to me that Bv's
- 28:33Speaker 1: most likely going to go out to somebody with experience.
- 28:35Speaker 1: If anything, I don't see him elevating someone that only
- 28:38Speaker 1: has a couple of years of experience at dB. But
- 28:43Speaker 1: I do see that Xavier Brewer will eventually coach. Brewer
- 28:47Speaker 1: will get a position there because I don't think Nate
- 28:50Speaker 1: Dryling or Wes Goodwin are going to be here for
- 28:52Speaker 1: the long haul. I could see one of them getting
- 28:55Speaker 1: another DC spot and that's where they end up leaving
- 28:59Speaker 1: the next couple of years, and that gets brew an
- 29:02Speaker 1: opportunity to go Cheetahs, where he was working a couple
- 29:05Speaker 1: of years ago, Oh, I think, are you muted?
- 29:10Speaker 2: C K my fault I was, I didn't interrupt you,
- 29:13Speaker 2: but all great points, And like I said, I don't
- 29:18Speaker 2: want to spend too long on it. I have just
- 29:20Speaker 2: been curious to get the pulse of the fan base
- 29:23Speaker 2: because it's so intriguing. And the three names that I
- 29:26Speaker 2: think are are pretty much widely agreed upon right now
- 29:29Speaker 2: are my Greed, Dom Franks, and Chip Viney. I think
- 29:33Speaker 2: that's kind of the trio. I'm all for Xavier Brewer.
- 29:37Speaker 2: I think brew is very much kind of that blend
- 29:41Speaker 2: of Venables and the Lie, having learned under both and
- 29:45Speaker 2: Brandon's whole. So if brew gets it, I'm gonna be
- 29:48Speaker 2: extremely happy for that guy, because I think it's an earned,
- 29:50Speaker 2: a deserved thing for him. But man, I you know,
- 29:55Speaker 2: I have ran into Mike Reed before at a spring
- 29:58Speaker 2: game down here in Texas and we had a conversation.
- 30:02Speaker 2: It was one of my first spring games back several
- 30:05Speaker 2: years ago. He was recruiting a corner he was up
- 30:08Speaker 2: against Texas. He ended up winning that battle and talking
- 30:11Speaker 2: to him for fifteen minutes, I was like, you can
- 30:13Speaker 2: see why, Like you can see why this guy is
- 30:16Speaker 2: who he is. I think Mike rid would be a
- 30:19Speaker 2: home run higher. I am curious to see how feasible
- 30:22Speaker 2: that is, considering like you mentioned, it didn't necessarily work
- 30:26Speaker 2: out the first time around for whatever the case may be.
- 30:29Speaker 2: But man, whether it's Reed, Dom, Franks Vine, or whoever else,
- 30:34Speaker 2: I am very excited to see who gets this job
- 30:36Speaker 2: because I think it's going to be one hell of
- 30:37Speaker 2: a coach either way.
- 30:39Speaker 1: Absolutely, And like you said, this is a very covided job,
- 30:42Speaker 1: especially the way this defense performed last year. And you
- 30:44Speaker 1: get to work with two not one, but two freshman
- 30:48Speaker 1: All Americans in Courtlyn Gillery and Eli Bowen. Why wouldn't
- 30:52Speaker 1: you want to have that attached to your name? You
- 30:54Speaker 1: know that if they continue on the trajectory that they've
- 30:56Speaker 1: been on, they're going to the league that makes you
- 30:59Speaker 1: look good just as much as it makes Javali look
- 31:02Speaker 1: good like you. They can say, well, hey, I mean
- 31:04Speaker 1: that was Jaballa's boy. You didn't do anything, Okay, I've
- 31:07Speaker 1: kept it going, didn't I where's the argument? Where's the argument?
- 31:11Speaker 1: You can't argue against it? Because if anything, what we
- 31:15Speaker 1: would like to see is more turnovers at the dB spot.
- 31:18Speaker 1: We'd like to see more interceptions we'd like to see
- 31:20Speaker 1: guys go, you know, find the ball, trace it hit
- 31:23Speaker 1: the high point and not only chase hands like you
- 31:26Speaker 1: want to eliminate those over the back of the head
- 31:28Speaker 1: catches that we've dealt with over the last couple of years.
- 31:31Speaker 1: You would like a little bit of a different philosophy
- 31:33Speaker 1: to add to things. We'll see if that happens. But
- 31:36Speaker 1: I mean, I'm here for it, So no, I like that.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Y'all jump in the comments. Let us know who y'all
- 31:41Speaker 1: are liking. I see that Jimmy hit us with ven A.
- 31:45Speaker 1: I can totally see that. Get Mike Reid on it
- 31:48Speaker 1: from Peanut. I'm totally here for that. And chaos gives
- 31:52Speaker 1: us Brew. Of course a lot of people like coach Brew.
- 31:55Speaker 1: I am one hundred percent here for that portion as well. Okay,
- 32:01Speaker 1: twenty sixth class, twenty sixth class, all see we're here.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Sources are saying it's actually signing day. Can you believe that? Bro?
- 32:09Speaker 1: Look look for the uninitiated out there. This is the
- 32:14Speaker 1: official National Signing Day, actual date. This Wednesday to day
- 32:19Speaker 1: is the actual date where you have National signing. So
- 32:22Speaker 1: some people were asking, like, wait, how are we picking
- 32:25Speaker 1: up more kids for the twenty sixth class, Like, wasn't
- 32:27Speaker 1: that done? No, December's early so that they can do
- 32:31Speaker 1: early enrollees. Now, I honestly would like to understand better.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Truth be told, why don't they just go ahead and
- 32:40Speaker 1: make early signing day the actual signing day. Just get
- 32:42Speaker 1: it over it, make that just the day and be done,
- 32:45Speaker 1: because then at that point, that's it. You ain't gotta
- 32:48Speaker 1: think about February, you think about No, just make one date,
- 32:52Speaker 1: get rid of the early just make it that today
- 32:55Speaker 1: because majority of these kids they're gonna go enroll early anyway,
- 32:59Speaker 1: Like that is the entire planned, the whole purpose of
- 33:01Speaker 1: the December signing day, so that kids can enroll and
- 33:04Speaker 1: be in spring practice, especially that can early enroll in college. Right,
- 33:08Speaker 1: why don't we just do that?
- 33:09Speaker 2: Why don't we just comin it? I'll tell you right now,
- 33:12Speaker 2: it's because we got so much coach movement going on too.
- 33:15Speaker 2: I don't know that they can ever eliminate the February
- 33:19Speaker 2: signing period with the coaching landscape being as lawless as
- 33:25Speaker 2: it is either. And I was at the Navy All
- 33:30Speaker 2: American Bowl, and I talked to a highly ranked recruit
- 33:34Speaker 2: who was going to go to a high level program,
- 33:37Speaker 2: but it was one of several who had a coaching
- 33:40Speaker 2: change and he ended up not signing in December. He
- 33:44Speaker 2: was still committed to the program, but he talked about, Hey,
- 33:47Speaker 2: you know, I just wanted to take a beat, be
- 33:50Speaker 2: with my family, make sure I'm checking all my boxes
- 33:53Speaker 2: and still have that option out there for me if
- 33:55Speaker 2: I need it. And I know we talked a lot
- 33:57Speaker 2: about player movement, but man, in the era of movement,
- 34:00Speaker 2: they're never gonna do away with February as long as
- 34:02Speaker 2: all these coaches are changing jobs of December.
- 34:07Speaker 1: That's a good point. So if if you want, ladies
- 34:11Speaker 1: and gents that that are watching is if you have
- 34:16Speaker 1: questions as we talk about this class, put them in
- 34:19Speaker 1: the comments section, I'm gonna be starring through them. Plus,
- 34:22Speaker 1: if you want to jump to the top of the list,
- 34:24Speaker 1: super chat always helps out, and you can also do
- 34:27Speaker 1: that because Colin does a weekly Q and A over
- 34:30Speaker 1: there at two four seven over as soon as illustrated,
- 34:32Speaker 1: So definitely jump in there. I like to ask random
- 34:35Speaker 1: questions to make sure that he understands that I'm still
- 34:38Speaker 1: alive even though I don't get to get in there
- 34:40Speaker 1: all day every day. But no I want to talk
- 34:42Speaker 1: about this class though, because Okay, sixteenth in the nation,
- 34:45Speaker 1: not the highest class we've had before, but still got
- 34:50Speaker 1: a lot of people. I feel like, as we're gonna
- 34:53Speaker 1: talk through this and the portal class to go together,
- 34:56Speaker 1: I feel like they're now intertwined. This is one of
- 35:00Speaker 1: the more efficient classes that I think Brent Vinibles is
- 35:03Speaker 1: put together, especially with what they were dealing with with
- 35:06Speaker 1: the negative recruiting and you know the fact that they
- 35:09Speaker 1: got Jake Crell to commit in August when everybody was like, well,
- 35:14Speaker 1: Oklahoma's gonna be lucky if they get to seven wins
- 35:17Speaker 1: this year. And they go to ten wins and you
- 35:20Speaker 1: get bo Bentley early, I mean, you get all of
- 35:22Speaker 1: a sudden, you see the floodgates open with not only success,
- 35:26Speaker 1: but kids saying hey, let me go ahead and take
- 35:27Speaker 1: a gander at it. But this does feel like a
- 35:29Speaker 1: very efficient class. And I say that in the outside
- 35:32Speaker 1: of the native recruiting pieces, a lot of the players
- 35:36Speaker 1: on this list are ones that will either play early
- 35:41Speaker 1: or they're going to be they have potentially be really
- 35:44Speaker 1: good debt pieces. And my point behind that is when
- 35:48Speaker 1: I talk to Naggie in at SEC Media Days, one
- 35:52Speaker 1: thing he made mention of is they like, in his mindset,
- 35:55Speaker 1: he don't want to pay somebody that's not gonna play
- 35:57Speaker 1: right like almost immediately. And that's the philosophy some of
- 36:02Speaker 1: these schools are taking with the five stars. And so
- 36:05Speaker 1: if you see a school with a bunch of five
- 36:08Speaker 1: star players, those are players that they're probably gonna find
- 36:11Speaker 1: we get on the field, because since everybody getting checks now,
- 36:14Speaker 1: the mindset is if I'm paying you, I need you
- 36:16Speaker 1: on field. We can't be doing this other stuff, right Yeah,
- 36:21Speaker 1: that's kind of what I'm seeing out a lot of this.
- 36:23Speaker 1: So talk to me, man, when it comes to the
- 36:26Speaker 1: rounding of this class. How you feeling about it. Let's
- 36:30Speaker 1: talk about a couple of players that I guess jump
- 36:32Speaker 1: out on both sides of the bob. Let's start with
- 36:34Speaker 1: Let's start with offense, because I feel like that's a
- 36:36Speaker 1: side that really needs the most attention right now.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Sure, and I will I will tie this into what
- 36:42Speaker 2: you were talking about. So I wrote this back in December.
- 36:48Speaker 2: There are three primary themes for me when you talk
- 36:51Speaker 2: about this twenty twenty six signing class, and I'll trickle
- 36:53Speaker 2: into the offensive stuff a little bit. The three things
- 36:55Speaker 2: that jump out first and foremost when you bring up
- 36:59Speaker 2: Jake Crawl, and then you go to the quarterback position
- 37:02Speaker 2: with Bo Bentley. As we dive into the offense, Crown
- 37:06Speaker 2: Jewels committed and kept both Jake Croll, who was like
- 37:11Speaker 2: their top defensive target in this cycle, and then Bo Bentley,
- 37:15Speaker 2: their guy at quarterback. Both committed prior to the start
- 37:18Speaker 2: of the season, before Oklahoma could prove itself on the field.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Yep.
- 37:23Speaker 2: And then they stuck with that pledge all the way
- 37:27Speaker 2: through far as you're said, than done on both sides,
- 37:30Speaker 2: especially when you're talking about two players of that caliber
- 37:33Speaker 2: the positions that they play. Oklahoma went out got its
- 37:37Speaker 2: two top targets in theory and held onto them all
- 37:41Speaker 2: the way, even before there was a product to pitch
- 37:45Speaker 2: in front of them. Correct. The other thing that really
- 37:50Speaker 2: stood out as we dive into the offensive class and whatever,
- 37:54Speaker 2: the one and a half scholarship rule is what I
- 37:56Speaker 2: call it, which is basically versatility and depth is key
- 38:03Speaker 2: and then needs addressed but shots being taken. So I'll
- 38:08Speaker 2: make this as brief as I can. I called the
- 38:11Speaker 2: one and a half scholarship rule because in today's day
- 38:14Speaker 2: and age, you need guys who can occupy a number
- 38:21Speaker 2: of number of different position groups in the event that
- 38:24Speaker 2: you lose another player at a similar spot. And when
- 38:29Speaker 2: I look at the offensive line, one thing that really
- 38:33Speaker 2: stood out to me was when Jim Naggi was up
- 38:35Speaker 2: there at the podium, He's talking about how they're not
- 38:38Speaker 2: going to take any offensive lineman who cannot play multiple positions.
- 38:42Speaker 2: That's very much the case with guys like Deacon Schmidt
- 38:46Speaker 2: and Noah Best. Deacon Schmid can play tackling guard, Noah
- 38:49Speaker 2: Best can play all three interior line spots. You have
- 38:54Speaker 2: to employ the one and a half scholarship rule, because
- 38:56Speaker 2: whether it's offense or defense, you should be in today's
- 38:59Speaker 2: air of changing players and changing rosters, potentially having a
- 39:05Speaker 2: guy who can immediately backfill a vacancy that's huge, and
- 39:10Speaker 2: that's at the end of the game of that is versatility,
- 39:12Speaker 2: and through that you must address those needs because typically
- 39:16Speaker 2: those spots where versatility is key their premium position groups,
- 39:20Speaker 2: offensive line, defensive back, so on and so forth. And
- 39:25Speaker 2: then you take a couple of shots if you trust
- 39:28Speaker 2: in your eval With all this in mind, and I thought,
- 39:31Speaker 2: you know, when we talk about the defense, it'll be
- 39:34Speaker 2: like a Christian Moore, who they ended up getting late
- 39:36Speaker 2: in the cycle, and some of these other guys. But
- 39:38Speaker 2: Oklahoma needed to go get a big time running back,
- 39:41Speaker 2: they needed a big time wide receiver, and they said,
- 39:46Speaker 2: we're gonna get this done. We're gonna figure this out.
- 39:49Speaker 2: And they they were years in their pursuit of guys
- 39:53Speaker 2: like Jonathan Hatton Junior and Jaden Petite and looked how
- 39:56Speaker 2: it worked out for him. So I love the fact that,
- 39:59Speaker 2: especially this offensive side, and we can get into specific names,
- 40:03Speaker 2: they're getting several players who played enough number of different
- 40:06Speaker 2: positions provide depth, but also go and be impact players
- 40:11Speaker 2: like you mentioned, go play here pretty soon. And for
- 40:14Speaker 2: that reason, I love this class and I like a
- 40:16Speaker 2: lot of these offensive players as well.
- 40:18Speaker 1: I'm big on the Bowl. I'm big on Bow. I'm
- 40:20Speaker 1: big on Jonathan Yeah, right, like I'm big on Petite.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Jonathan Hadden's of course, my dude. If anybody knows me,
- 40:30Speaker 1: they know the name that I talk about the most
- 40:33Speaker 1: is my guy Hatton. Like he is the one that
- 40:35Speaker 1: makes me say, yeah, he's gonna find a way to start,
- 40:40Speaker 1: hopefully in the within the next year. He's gonna be
- 40:46Speaker 1: the one that they're gonna have to fight just tooth
- 40:49Speaker 1: and nail to keep off the field because he's just
- 40:53Speaker 1: that good to me, like he I mean, he's already
- 40:56Speaker 1: coming in. I think the measurements six', oney like that's
- 41:02Speaker 1: what he said he is, legitimately And i'm, like, oh
- 41:06Speaker 1: if that's the, case he's gonna be something. HUGE I
- 41:12Speaker 1: i'm here for, That LIKE i HATE i THINK i
- 41:15Speaker 1: Think stoops has even said this about the kid even seeing,
- 41:18Speaker 1: him BUT i Know i've said it numerous. Times i'm.
- 41:19Speaker 1: Sorry he reminds me Of peterson in a. Way he's already,
- 41:23Speaker 1: big he's already. Strong he runs with, violence, right and
- 41:27Speaker 1: it seems like every time he touched the ball down
- 41:29Speaker 1: there In San, antonio he was, gone and it's, like,
- 41:31Speaker 1: wow how does that? HAPPEN i us don't get.
- 41:35Speaker 2: It he's.
- 41:36Speaker 1: Good i'm excited about him the, most Like Bo bentley to,
- 41:39Speaker 1: ME i don't know if he starts as a red shirt,
- 41:43Speaker 1: freshman if he pulls At Julian sand and gets that
- 41:45Speaker 1: job in a year Once materia is. GONE i don't
- 41:48Speaker 1: know if he holds Back jet nub who knows the
- 41:50Speaker 1: system now the second year With, neubauer or if they
- 41:53Speaker 1: bring in a portal quarterback and prep and to give
- 41:55Speaker 1: him a bridge between the. Two because if you if
- 41:58Speaker 1: you know how this game works, Truthfully, yes it's nice
- 42:01Speaker 1: for the quarterbacks to get paid, today and it's nice
- 42:03Speaker 1: for them to go ahead and play a lot if,
- 42:06Speaker 1: Possible but you really only need about a. Year look
- 42:08Speaker 1: At Tys. Simpson you get about a year and out
- 42:11Speaker 1: there and you show out you, Good you're gonna get.
- 42:13Speaker 1: Drafted that's what your goal. Is it should be at
- 42:16Speaker 1: least not really getting rich in. College BUT i could
- 42:19Speaker 1: See bow playing. EARLY i could See bow also not
- 42:24Speaker 1: really playing, until you, know maybe ready shirt sophomore, year
- 42:28Speaker 1: maybe one more year he gets. Ready but he's got the.
- 42:30Speaker 1: Talent But, jaden he may be he may find a
- 42:35Speaker 1: way on the. Field BUT i think there's one player
- 42:37Speaker 1: that on the offensive side THAT i think might actually
- 42:42Speaker 1: sneak his way out, there and that's Just Siah. Rodgers
- 42:45Speaker 1: the way everybody's talked about, him, saying, hey, man if
- 42:48Speaker 1: he was In, texas he might be a five. Star
- 42:49Speaker 1: that's how athletic the kid. IS i don't. Know but
- 42:53Speaker 1: watching the film Of Spider, Man i'm just, like, OH
- 42:57Speaker 1: i see why he's In delaware, unfortunately need to get
- 43:00Speaker 1: you down to an area where you could play against
- 43:02Speaker 1: some other dogs and see if you REALLY i think
- 43:04Speaker 1: he may be one to sneak on the field, offensively
- 43:06Speaker 1: but of, course hat and we all believe that there's
- 43:09Speaker 1: a chance he could end up on the. Field who,
- 43:10Speaker 1: else who do you think may play early as a.
- 43:15Speaker 2: Freshman i'm glad you brought Up Josiah rodgers because this
- 43:19Speaker 2: is the guy for. Me besides quote unquote The big
- 43:23Speaker 2: three Of Bo, Bentley Jaden, Pettit jonathanton junior highly rank.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Prospects you, Know Jasia rodgers finishes FOR us at twenty
- 43:31Speaker 2: four seven sports as a four star recruit out Of,
- 43:34Speaker 2: Delaware and so much of it comes down to the
- 43:39Speaker 2: aggressive nature of play at the receiver. Position let me
- 43:43Speaker 2: tell you, this if you're gonna get the nickname Spider,
- 43:46Speaker 2: man you better not be a, scrub right you might,
- 43:49Speaker 2: play you better play Like Spider. Man he plays Like Spider.
- 43:54Speaker 2: MAN i mean he does the catch radius and the
- 43:59Speaker 2: ability to tack the ball relative to his frame at
- 44:03Speaker 2: about five to. Eleven it's pretty. Rare it's somewhat out
- 44:07Speaker 2: of the ordinary for a player of his. Structure BUT
- 44:10Speaker 2: i like that he's this like, dense compactly built kind
- 44:15Speaker 2: of a bouncy athlete who can go make plays beyond his.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Frame and, then, oh by the, way because of, THAT
- 44:23Speaker 2: i think that there is again kind of like that
- 44:26Speaker 2: one and a half scholarship rule where some players at
- 44:30Speaker 2: his size might be limited to the. Slot even though
- 44:34Speaker 2: he's five, eleven maybe he is five to ten and a.
- 44:36Speaker 2: Half we'll, see. RIGHT i do believe, though that he
- 44:40Speaker 2: could still potentially kick outside and play some perimeter receiver
- 44:44Speaker 2: because of his ability to attack the ball to catch.
- 44:46Speaker 2: Point AND i love. THAT i love What oklahoma did
- 44:49Speaker 2: here in going after this guy somewhat out of the,
- 44:53Speaker 2: blue because if you'll, remember he had a pretty solid
- 44:56Speaker 2: recruitment and then all of a, sudden, IT i, mean
- 44:59Speaker 2: it picked up for, him And oklahoma got this thing
- 45:02Speaker 2: locked up. Quick AND i think that they did a
- 45:05Speaker 2: really good job not only to identify and, pursue but
- 45:08Speaker 2: to hold off BECAUSE i can tell, you Like Jasira
- 45:10Speaker 2: rodgers was one of some of these guys in this.
- 45:12Speaker 2: CLASS i ended up getting a few phone calls over
- 45:14Speaker 2: the last couple of, months AND i think this guy
- 45:17Speaker 2: has a. CASE i think he certainly has an argument
- 45:19Speaker 2: if he gets in there and does what he needs to.
- 45:21Speaker 1: Do, yeah he's the one THAT i every TIME i
- 45:24Speaker 1: look at him and go back and watch the, Film i'm, Like,
- 45:27Speaker 1: Yeah LIKE i, said he's not a. Scrub and, again
- 45:30Speaker 1: if you don't have a, Name Spider, man you better
- 45:32Speaker 1: not be no dang. Scrub he does look like he
- 45:34Speaker 1: crawls up. Walls he loved he played baseball too, well,
- 45:37Speaker 1: right and go out there center, field climb the wall
- 45:38Speaker 1: and make the. Catch he has that type of athleticism
- 45:42Speaker 1: and you love that from a wide receiver because you're
- 45:44Speaker 1: gonna need him to occasionally climb up these big THE dB,
- 45:47Speaker 1: walls climb, up get the, catch and make sure they
- 45:50Speaker 1: don't take that from. Him so now the good thing weh.
- 45:55Speaker 2: OH i was gonna say, too if you were looking at,
- 45:58Speaker 2: transition there's another guy that really jumps out in this.
- 46:02Speaker 2: Class not as far as like a play right, away
- 46:06Speaker 2: but if you're asking, me give me someone besides the
- 46:08Speaker 2: big three who's gonna play, away and then give me
- 46:10Speaker 2: someone besides the big three who in a couple of
- 46:13Speaker 2: years has a chance to be a real. Problem mm.
- 46:15Speaker 1: Hmm that's a good.
- 46:16Speaker 2: ONE i want to know you're under the radar guy
- 46:19Speaker 2: that maybe needs some time for. Me the answer is
- 46:22Speaker 2: Undoubtedly Tyler. Ruckser Undoubtedly Tyler. Ruckser yeah again as a,
- 46:31Speaker 2: nerd as a player personnel. Nerd When Jim naggy goes
- 46:35Speaker 2: up there and, says, hey, man we Found Tyler, ruxer
- 46:39Speaker 2: a six and twenty pound tight end skimming track times
- 46:43Speaker 2: and we found him running sub eleven at six four two.
- 46:46Speaker 2: TWENTY i was. GIGGLING i was giggling watching the press.
- 46:50Speaker 2: CONFERENCE i was, Like oh, boy that's that's my language right.
- 46:54Speaker 1: There that's some SHIT i would.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Do.
- 46:56Speaker 1: YEAH i would skim sometimes and be, like, wait this dude's.
- 46:59Speaker 1: Hute like it goes to THE Dk metcalf, storyline, right
- 47:05Speaker 1: like a lot of people. Understand if you don't, know
- 47:07Speaker 1: let me for the. UNINITIATED Dk metcalf went and ran
- 47:13Speaker 1: for like The olympic. Preliminaries he ran and he finished
- 47:18Speaker 1: LIKE i think eighth out of nine or something like.
- 47:20Speaker 1: That at like six,' four two hundred and. Forty pounds
- 47:26Speaker 1: he was like forty pounds bigger, than everybody if, not
- 47:29Speaker 1: more and a few. Inches taller it's kind Of Like
- 47:32Speaker 1: nick harbor you See At south carolina who is a
- 47:35Speaker 1: track athlete while being a ginormous. Few being, it's like
- 47:40Speaker 1: if you just cut down twenty pounds of the x
- 47:42Speaker 1: extra weight that you're, you're hauling you'd probably be a
- 47:47Speaker 1: silver medalist or bronze medalist In. The, olympics yeah that
- 47:53Speaker 1: is Exactly where. I'M at, I Agree. Tyler, Russe yeah
- 47:56Speaker 1: rutsor was the one for me, as well BECAUSE when
- 47:58Speaker 1: i saw that, same THING when I heard naggy, Say that, i'm,
- 48:01Speaker 1: like oh you are A sick oh you're right here
- 48:04Speaker 1: looking for you. For real when people say we are
- 48:10Speaker 1: looking outside of the box for players that could really
- 48:14Speaker 1: fit into the as difference makers, for us that is
- 48:18Speaker 1: the perfect example. Of it that is thinking outside. The
- 48:20Speaker 1: box it's finding someone skimming track records that is, so,
- 48:26Speaker 1: dope like oh, my goodness you found to do something
- 48:29Speaker 1: living it. That size NOW imagine I Mean jerry kannick's
- 48:32Speaker 1: another example. OF that, i mean the bigger difference is Is
- 48:34Speaker 1: that kannick didn't really play. Tight end he was a.
- 48:35Speaker 1: Wild cat he just went out, there quarterback, Running back he,
- 48:38Speaker 1: did everything but he never really had to do the block,
- 48:41Speaker 1: and Stuff whereas rutxer did that was his job while
- 48:46Speaker 1: also just being an. Absurd athlete, SO no i love.
- 48:50Speaker 1: That one i'm actually just tagging along one album because
- 48:52Speaker 1: that's probably the dude on the. OFFENSIVE side i wouldn't
- 48:54Speaker 1: say the same thing about.
- 48:55Speaker 2: Is there anybody else on the offensive side of the
- 48:57Speaker 2: ball that you are compelled to talk about before we?
- 49:00Speaker 2: Go Defense.
- 49:01Speaker 1: Deacon, SCHMIDT yeah i feel like he could go out
- 49:09Speaker 1: there and Push For too. Deep early he's got, the
- 49:13Speaker 1: size he's got. The strength i've watched. Him train he
- 49:17Speaker 1: looks like one he's gonna be able to walk in
- 49:19Speaker 1: and they'd, be like, oh yeah, come on come on.
- 49:22Speaker 1: Up here you're you're just going from scout Team To,
- 49:25Speaker 1: Too deep get. Up here he looks like he looks
- 49:28Speaker 1: like he's college. FOOTBALL ready i mean he's already what
- 49:31Speaker 1: he's six' five, three twenty already. So he's big he's probably,
- 49:35Speaker 1: bigger than that not than a lie. If, he's healthy
- 49:39Speaker 1: yeah And, he from colorado so you know a, little
- 49:41Speaker 1: bit altitude so he's got probably go a better win
- 49:43Speaker 1: than most. Because, OF that Yeah I think dickon schmid
- 49:48Speaker 1: might be one that might surprise a lot of folks.
- 49:51Speaker 2: AND cause, problems i mean he also just plays, like
- 49:55Speaker 2: A bully which i appreciate as. An offensive lineman you
- 49:58Speaker 2: can tell he wants to MAKE the other uh players on,
- 50:02Speaker 2: the field quit which you need to have that mentality as.
- 50:05Speaker 2: An offensive lineman the quick one for me before, We
- 50:07Speaker 2: go Defense xavier okafulawayse a is going to BE one
- 50:12Speaker 2: that i am desperate to see, how this, works because
- 50:19Speaker 2: again when you talk about, your, your checklist yeah measurables
- 50:25Speaker 2: check plus athletic ability check plus multi sport background check
- 50:31Speaker 2: plus two way snaps check plus the tape check plus
- 50:40Speaker 2: incredibly raw arguably has no idea what He's, doing yet nope.
- 50:46Speaker 2: It's it's again it's like when you talk about the
- 50:48Speaker 2: recruiting rankings and PROJECTIONS towards the nfl draft and guys
- 50:51Speaker 2: like this who you're really trying to figure out how
- 50:55Speaker 2: much to bet on them long term in, their Developmental
- 50:57Speaker 2: process like, xavier FOR one like i cannot wait to see,
- 51:03Speaker 2: how this goes because then that is Someone with every
- 51:07Speaker 2: god given ability, you can imagine and he is only
- 51:10Speaker 2: scratching the surface. Of his potential and if it goes well,
- 51:13Speaker 2: for that, kid hey man that that is a different
- 51:19Speaker 2: that's a different athlete on. This list folks and he's a,
- 51:23Speaker 2: great kid too, By the, way like anyway that's.
- 51:28Speaker 1: A good one i like. THAT as well i remember
- 51:31Speaker 1: watching the. Tape on, him i'm like his tape truly
- 51:36Speaker 1: does Remind Me of elijah thomas's, like smaller school just
- 51:40Speaker 1: dominate the. Hell out everybody, but, you're like oh if
- 51:42Speaker 1: he gets refined and he can play in the flow,
- 51:45Speaker 1: of the offense, oh my god he'll. Be a problem that's.
- 51:49Speaker 1: Typically your Challenge, oh like stevie the BIGGEST sleeper that
- 51:53Speaker 1: i had out of, all of them that truly. Isn't
- 51:57Speaker 1: a sleeper but actually we don't talk. About Him, anymore
- 52:02Speaker 1: daniel otum he's. A BIG boy, like i mean you
- 52:06Speaker 1: coming in six to two almost two hundred and you
- 52:10Speaker 1: know with the hossago, with j O'Neill shout, out to
- 52:12Speaker 1: him hope he Does Well. At florida state only when,
- 52:15Speaker 1: we play him it's THE only time i don't want.
- 52:16Speaker 1: Him DO good but i think. He'll Do well but,
- 52:20Speaker 1: daniel was, supposedly you, know you know a combo, package
- 52:24Speaker 1: WITH him and i went back and. JUST watched him,
- 52:27Speaker 1: i was like let me go remind MYSELF of what i.
- 52:28Speaker 1: Liked About him, and, i'm, LIKE oh okay I see
- 52:30Speaker 1: why i, Liked his game like he plays well in
- 52:32Speaker 1: the flow. Of the offense on top of being, a
- 52:36Speaker 1: you know he's. A thread deep he is a threat. Across
- 52:38Speaker 1: the middle? Did it all we don't. Talk about him
- 52:41Speaker 1: but it's more so because he's already a, highly rated
- 52:44Speaker 1: kid so it's kind of hard to, talk, about, him,
- 52:46Speaker 1: like oh well he's going to. Be a sleeper, he's
- 52:48Speaker 1: you know he's, a, Four star right he's actually a pretty,
- 52:50Speaker 1: highly rated dude. Kind of expected.
- 52:53Speaker 2: It's interesting with odam because he's kind of the Polar
- 52:57Speaker 2: opposite of Xavier in at odam has been on college
- 53:02Speaker 2: radar since he was. In. Eighth, Grade yep however xavier
- 53:07Speaker 2: is like, this traitsy tools the, FREAKISH athletic, ability i
- 53:14Speaker 2: mean just a different. Level, of athlete however still has
- 53:18Speaker 2: a lot of growth as a receiver. To get done
- 53:20Speaker 2: odam is is set like he, is, A receiver correct
- 53:25Speaker 2: but maybe there isn't the Basketball. Background like xavier it
- 53:31Speaker 2: isn't six' four and eighty Wing and it's but, odom,
- 53:36Speaker 2: is a receiver man he. Is A football player and
- 53:39Speaker 2: i've watched him in person and seven on settings and,
- 53:41Speaker 2: he's just he's like, he IS all Ball and i
- 53:45Speaker 2: think odam just gives you an extremely high floor. As
- 53:49Speaker 2: a wide out and he he's a sleeper because it
- 53:52Speaker 2: felt it felt like because he's just a football player
- 53:57Speaker 2: and has been known, about for so long he kind
- 53:59Speaker 2: of coasted, an under the radar even though it wasn't
- 54:02Speaker 2: always a guarantee he's gonna be. Part, of, This.
- 54:04Speaker 1: Class yeah exactly like there was a fear that he
- 54:06Speaker 1: was gonna as Soon as j O'Neil. Bouncey is gonna
- 54:08Speaker 1: decommit and then you started to hear in the stories
- 54:10Speaker 1: if you'll potentially, go and, do visits uh, right open
- 54:13Speaker 1: things up which which fair because you were coming with
- 54:15Speaker 1: your quarterback a. Lot of wide receivers if, you have that,
- 54:17Speaker 1: connection that. Gets recruited that happens. But then, he, Didn't he's,

- 56:37Speaker 1: whole bunch of flash and. Glimmer and superstar names but
- 56:41Speaker 1: when you MENTION a Person like i mentioned daniel odom
- 56:44Speaker 1: who who is a top, like one hundred player and
- 56:46Speaker 1: a lot, of the, recruiting sites it's, like wait a
- 56:49Speaker 1: minute you know. Theast top, one, FIFTY you're like oh
- 56:52Speaker 1: i did not realize he's. GONNA be, as good i
- 56:55Speaker 1: mean y'all have him at what fift, he's a fifty ninth.
- 56:58Speaker 1: Ninth receiver or whatnot but he's. The talent is there,
- 57:01Speaker 1: you know it's there and we're not, really talking about
- 57:04Speaker 1: him so it. Kind of surprises, you, but defense wise
- 57:06Speaker 1: though defense felt like they were, one, hundred percent saying
- 57:11Speaker 1: oh we're gonna get a lot of these dudes that
- 57:13Speaker 1: we know have ridiculous upsides and will actually push for.
- 57:19Speaker 1: A chance to play when you have A Player, like
- 57:21Speaker 1: a jayden jackson when you Have, A, Player Of. Cortland
- 57:24Speaker 1: gillery eli bowen you, got these younger guys but they
- 57:30Speaker 1: go out there. And play as. Freshmen that intrigues recruits
- 57:34Speaker 1: and even with the Hot Seat talk about brent vinibles
- 57:38Speaker 1: at the, beginning of the year these kids saw, the
- 57:40Speaker 1: opportunity of oh y'all will really play freshmen if they're
- 57:43Speaker 1: good enough. Class have people excited so let's highlight. A
- 57:46Speaker 1: couple of Players. And we know jake we. Ain't, talk
- 57:48Speaker 1: about HIM man he beats i think he's going UP in.
- 57:50Speaker 1: The two d period there's no question about him because
- 57:54Speaker 1: all he's got to do is put on the weight
- 57:56Speaker 1: and you can tell that he's, dedicated to, the game,
- 57:58Speaker 1: the grind the hustle all of that to get to.
- 58:01Speaker 1: Where he needs to but the, rest, of these dudes
- 58:04Speaker 1: though there's so many players that have like freakishly like just. Feel,
- 58:11Speaker 1: Like some freaks now i'm. Gonna give you two let
- 58:14Speaker 1: me give you two players real quick that THE more and,
- 58:20Speaker 1: more i watch them The more and. More I'm So Intrigued. The,
- 58:25Speaker 1: jen joe twins yeah have they hit? Their physical peak
- 58:29Speaker 1: YET that is what, i Am intrigued by right is
- 58:32Speaker 1: it maybe because they come in here yoked how how
- 58:39Speaker 1: how much? More can they get how much? Bigger can
- 58:42Speaker 1: they get how much? Stronger will they Get and how
- 58:45Speaker 1: ready because, they one's a. Linebacker one's a, safety so to.
- 58:47Speaker 2: Me.
- 58:48Speaker 1: They're both cheetahs yep, at their size right that's like
- 58:51Speaker 1: THE exact measurements, that bb looks for and they have
- 58:55Speaker 1: and as long, as they're fast enough. THEY can do
- 58:56Speaker 1: it i am very intrigued by those two and where.
- 59:02Speaker 2: They're Going To go the jandro brothers. Are going to
- 59:06Speaker 2: be this is where. The debate comes in And You
- 59:11Speaker 2: mentioned what jim naggie was talking. ABOUT on a podcast i,
- 59:16Speaker 2: don't know which one but from what, you were talking,
- 59:19Speaker 2: about he essentially discussed we're going to find, guys that
- 59:22Speaker 2: are physical violent. And fit Our System that's the jandro. Brothers,
- 59:29Speaker 2: to a, t physicality sheer violence sometimes a willingness to
- 59:35Speaker 2: put your, body on the line maybe a little, bit more, than,
- 59:39Speaker 2: appropriate you, know like hey man you're putting yourself in
- 59:43Speaker 2: danger by playing to, that level of physicality but you
- 59:46Speaker 2: love that when you are, evaluating high school, RECRUITS that
- 59:51Speaker 2: reckless abandonment i guess. Is what you say that's what they.
- 59:55Speaker 2: Have to their core, and by the way these Guys.
- 59:58Speaker 2: Have lived in Jim they it doesn't it doesn't take
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: a lot of time to find a picture of them
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: after a workout where they look like grown men. Who, Own,
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: THE gym, RIGHT so i look i don't know how
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: much bigger these. GUYS are gonna get i don't know
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: if the physical limitations. Are already in place that's that's
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: a whole, like conversation scouting theory that's. A whole rabbit
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: hole But like, FOR the jandra brothers I, think if
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: you're oklahoma you're really excited about. A couple, of things
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: Number One exactly what jim naggi. Said in his presser
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: these guys are gonna go play special teams at a
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: really high level because of how physical, and aggressive they.
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: Are that reckless abandonment they are going to run through
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: someone's face, in the third phase and they're gonna go
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: make tackles and they're going to do their job. In the,
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: third phase and again that's an area of the game
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: that it's so important to have. Those, Types, OF players
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: however yeah i think bo is gonna be a really.
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: SOLID inside Linebacker option, i think nko, has like you
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: mentioned cheetah elements a lot of these linebacker safety types
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: again go back to that one and a HALF scholarship
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: rule that i talk about where, they can play well
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: we would call, the mid skill positions, not like mid
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: skill but the middle level skill. GROUPS in your defense
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: a lot of, these GUYS feel interchangeable and i think on,
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: top of you know the muscled up versions of, themselves
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: that they are the physicality, that They Play with the
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: jendro brothers do feel pretty interchangeable at that second. Level
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: of the defense you love that If Your name is
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: brent venables and that's the type of, player you're Looking,
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: for obviously.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: Exactly NOW the biggest question I have with the jandro
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: brothers is going to be? What their speeds are right with, the, forty,
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: times exactly yeah run what do? They actually clock at
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: that to me is where that TELLS me exactly where
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: i think they'll end up, Being able to play like
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: where where would, make the MOST sense because, like i said,
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: that with their Size They're about the. Brent venables cheetah
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: size that is. What He's looking, for it they bigger
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: bigger corners who. Hit REALLY really hard and i love
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: what y'all who y'all pointing out here in the comments
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: of players that, everyone is excited about one of, Those
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: Being you Know christian moore aka megatron when they found
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: him in the late. Part OF. THE season c k
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: i remember Seeing him hitt, and, i'm just like oh
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: you have one of those highlight tapes where it's like
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: all you do. When, is leveling people yeah that's that's
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: that's the physical violence that we're looking. For in THIS
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: defense now that i think that's what made it so
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: tough for me to really pick anybody IN this class
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: that i could Just really outside of jake that could
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: just hitch my wagon to because all these dudes. Actually Like,
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: hitting people markl ford he has his his highlights is
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: him knocking. People off THEIR block what am i supposed
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: to do with all these dudes they.
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: Like to hit PEOPLE i've.
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: Lost like i don't it makes it really hard to.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: Try To pick now Jacob curry sounds like winter workout wise. Is,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: Turning everybody's heads yeah florida pick up, another pseudo cheetah
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: size but gonna, play linebackers, six' one you know two
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: hundred and probably. Ten pounds At This point him and
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: dame bathurst to.
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: Me.
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: Really makes me say because when we got dang.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: It.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: THOUGHT it was an edge i think he's listed at someplace,
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: in someplace he listed linebacker but he's already walking in
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: basically The Exact. Same size as danny stutsman can he Be.
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: A.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: THREAT like, a danny stutsman i mean he's The Exact
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: same size as. Cole sullivan. Is right now it's terrifying
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: they really did find a lot of dudes that are
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: physically at the point of. Being Ready to play today.
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: Jacob. Curry's gonna have a shot it sounds like everything's going.
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: Well for, him right now and again he's another one
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: of those interchangeable pieces at the second LEVEL of the
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: defense who i, think can play. Inside linebacker can play cheetah,
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: he has a, safety BACKGROUND by the way so i
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: do think he will be. COMFORTABLE playing some slot backer
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: i made a little bit of an audible noise there
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: BECAUSE you took the guy i really wanted to talk
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: About one Of the two, DAME to, thurst is like
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: i mean another one, of, Those LIKE scouting crushes right
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: so i don't think he gets talked about nearly Enough
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: Because you have a christian moore who the scouting staff
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: kind of started to, bet on in the summer and
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: then they went ahead and followed Through. With that bet
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: Into december you've got THE jandro, brothers who everyone i
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: mean they kind of feel. Like Celebrities at this. Point
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: Jacob Curry's commanding headlines but dame BETHURST is the guy
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: THAT i, Look, at and i go okay you're, like
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: six three two thirty. Look like a grown MAN but.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: This IS what i love and i talked about. This
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: extensively with. Our, board dane's family tree okay His dad
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: is a retired navy seal who was a collegiate swimmer
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: and Won The Nineteen ninety eight big ten. Championship in
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: the fifty three his Mother was a, swimmer at minnesota
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: as well and his Sister is a swimmer at virginia
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: who was the twenty twenty TWO eight. Hundred free relay, acc, Champ.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: I'M sorry what yeah okay i, remember hearing, about the
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: swimming but wow.
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: So you're talking About the son of a navy seal
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: and two. Collegiate athletes all swimming background dane at his.
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: Size plays edge and linebacker there's just so much to like,
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: about this guy for me AND he is one that
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: i think doesn't. Get nearly, as talked about but again
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: when you do your, homework as, you're, supposed to you're
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: like man this dude has. So many elements to, HIMSELF
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: and by the way i Know. He's coming from from Indiana,
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: he moved there from florida so he's got A little bit.
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: Of that FLORIDA GrITT too really that i Am, a
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: big fan of dane but thirst he is ONE of
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: these guys that i am so intrigued by and what
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: it's gonna look like Being Coached. By someone like BRENT
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: benables and then if i, COULD hit you with this
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: i think it is not An overstatement to say that
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: oklahoma has the most under talked about four star top
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: two four seven cornerback in. THE history of the. RANKINGS
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: i really believe that i don't Know That anyone talks.
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: ABOUT derek johnson at all I Don't know when is? Derek,
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: johnson ever. Talked ABOUT honest honest question like i said This,
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: ON signing day, in, DECEMBER i was like guys i have,
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: never seen, a four star top two four seven cornerback
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: get talked about as euro times, month over month over month.
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: And That's what he is derek johnson is like a
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: six one six', two corner with a TRACK background, the
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: son Of An nfl player and Like all conference selection
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: player at washington and, he doesn't. Get talked. About ever
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: like ever it blew it has, blown My mind for
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: months now and i'm so glad, to VOCALIST it because it's,
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: like when, i, bring it up you're like man when's
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: The Last. Time you talked. About derek johnson it's been months.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: It has been that long since the. Last time you've
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: talked about him. You are one hundred percent. Right It's
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: that is Very fascinating he's it's him and. DANIEL odom
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: are the two players i think it's Because They're. Both
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: out on the west coast. It's gotta be what it
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: is those are your two guys, that we forget are
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: sizey talented everything you're looking for, in the four star
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: guy range, and, everybody's just, kind of like yeah he's
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: good and as it you just they're not the ones you.
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: Consider to have the ridiculous upside they're not the ones
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: that are considered to be a. Big TIME sleeper or no,
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: there it's i guess to me it feels like so
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: many people have gotten, their minds, with those. Two that
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: oh yeah their hits, no one's talking, ABOUT them anymore
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: because you're right I Haven't. TALKED a lot about derek
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: johnson i mean his dad came, on and talked about
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: you know what they're looking to, do and everything and.
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: Great guys exciting to see, him no one's really just.
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: No one's really gapping about. Him that's a very good
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: point six six two already at the size you wanted CORNER,
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: and dad played in the nfl so you know. He's, got,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: the mind for it like yeah they we. Probably should

- 1:10:00Speaker 2: entire calendar year? In what? World does that happen.

- 1:10:11Speaker 2: been every, TIME i look At his, name, i laugh

- 1:10:15Speaker 2: least talked, about member of the entire class. And he's
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: a four. Star. CORNERBACK that's, where star.

- 1:11:10Speaker 2: and everything but like. YEAH man, he's just he's awesome.
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: I mean he's a great kid and again it's like
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: it just speaks to who he is as a player
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: and a person that he has been that under. The,
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: radar for this long, time.
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: No, that's a good point man wow you, hit, Him
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: up and he's like oh i'm about to? Commit, you you, ready, for,
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: me like oh yeah. Yeah sure let's go. For that
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: let's get that done but the the efficiency around who,
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: they grab to me on defense they got, everybody the,
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: type that they want hard hitters dudes that will knock
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: your block off the way. You want, And, get You excited,
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: and yeah jimmy if i'm correct there Is another correct
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: younger brother. That owe you is also recruiting so. We
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: like to be family you that is what we are,
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: going for, when it. Comes to you know our recruiting if.
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: YOU can get guys of Talent I, mean, We're looking at,
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: tritton LAYLOCK right tory's little brother and i know that
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: he's one that is starting to. Pick up, on, the
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: recruiting trail but. Yeah man. That's A good point all
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: right MATTHEW nelson is another one that i have been.
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: Watching more and more video on. He's a huge human sixty.
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: FIVE now he's slight two fifteen. I, THINK he's bigger
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: than that now i think. HE'S legitimately bigger than two
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: fifteen i. Think he's, closer to two thirty BUT. Yeah
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: Could he be your r mason thomas player that's just
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: that good at the position that, you and and just
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: Completely Underrated or that go to daniel norman who seems
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: To have similar attributes out of florida AS. You Would. Have,
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: gotten at.
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: R Bason thomas yeah it's tough our mason finishes a,
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: fourth star recruit in his cycle and that was someone
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: that our director of scouting at twenty four to seven
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: adored and ended up taking a shot on. And they kind,
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: OF paid OFF That Being said i think ar mason
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: thomas probably had a little bit more back end of
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: season momentum and arguably more clearly defined ceiling to HIM
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: than THE Other Two because i think ar mason thomas
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: still had a, lot of growth to get. DONE but,
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: you could see it i mean it didn't take long
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: to watch him Coming out of, the, state of florida
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: to go oh this is someone who is going to
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: generate pass rush at a. High, level at the next
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: level yeah, THE two names that you're mentioning i think
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: that they're both very DIFFERENT yet similar In That when
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: i look at, DANIEL norman and you, watch Him I,
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: have constantly said with, daniel NORMAN at The very least
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: what i KNOW i'm getting here is a dpr. FLOOR
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: designated pass rush er floor I Don't have any question
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: about daniel norman's ability and maybe a year or two
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: to get called out onto the field on third down
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: and pin his ears back. And go run the go
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: right it doesn't take long. To, see That On tape
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: either now is daniel norman going to become. A complete
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: three down defensive end it's a big question because he's
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: got a. Lot of weight to pack on he's going
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: To have to jump in in. Norman and get to
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: work quick it's going to be a lot of time
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: in the weight room. And not just packing on physically
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: but he's got a lot of. Growth in. His, game as.
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: Well to true yeah he's got additional tools to his
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: tool belt as far as the way that he not
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: only rushes the BALL but, also being, able to i
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: mean you know make people have to guess if he's
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: rushing or if. He's looking, for the run itself so. Yeah,
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: that's a very good point.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: Well and he's also going to have to and there's
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: so much to the intricacies of the position that we,
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: don't have time to talk about but like he's going
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: to be one that has to continue to learn how
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: to set the edge and how to prepare. Your body
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: to play the run and he's this is, a defensive
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: line as we know, that's, very, active in the games,
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: stunts Twists All that good stuff and daniel norman is
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: going to. Probably play a role in that but he
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: he is, one that Will Need. Some Time As will
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: matthew nelson now matthew nelson's a. LITTLE bit Different In
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: my opinion i think matthew nelson has a little bit
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: more of the complete floor right when you, look at
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: him and you, go this is someone who clearly if you,
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: give him a year or two is going to have
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: the chance. To play on ALL three downs The Biggest
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: question i have with matthew nelson is how? Long, Is
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: that going to take right because we are now in the,
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: business of all of these players and this is kind
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: of one of, those quiet things out loud moments but
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: like all these players are in, two year windows in
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: two years we better know what you are or a
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: lot of these guys are. Getting, THE page turned on
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: them yep i Don't Think. That's gonna happen, To matthew
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: nelson for The Record, i'm just, saying when matthew nelson
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: you know he's, on campus currently and all that the
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: clock is already kind of ticking for this guy as
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: a developmental prospect. At A position like defensive end why
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: i am EXCITED about This player and why i think,
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: Oklahoma is excited about this player it's because he's Going
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: To get To work with miguel chavs, in, oakland strength
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: and conditioning staff right and so the. Timeline in theory should,
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: be accelerated AND if it is this is i don't
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: want to go as far as to say that This
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: Is Somewhat similar, to The xavier oka filuaise conversation because.
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: Xavier Is A totally different athlete but matthew nelson Has
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: a ton of traits and god given ability that's hard
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: to find and as long as, you can round out
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: the game this To me is the, player that oklahoma
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: could turn into someone that's part of that that continuous
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: defensive Line, they present in the.
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: Sec, OH it's a good point. Yeah i can, totally
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: see that he. They said he he has it the
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: question is?
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: When?
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: When will you see that when?
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: When?
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: Will will it climb out when when? Will he blossom
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: into that player will he walk in day? One AND figured,
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: it all out like i said there's so many intricacies.
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: Of that role that. It's tough That's A, challenging position
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: but having miguel chaves who we've seen really refine, some
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: of these edges. Pretty quickly that may for him it's
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: going to be about his health, And my opinion on
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: his game LIKE that's the biggest struggle That pj dealt?
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: With out of. BUARE was health we eliminate that. I
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: think he may do. It now here's one One More.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: Someone asked the question tank carrington this kid has had
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: a very interesting story and. Life in the recruiting trail itself,
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: he comes. In here six one two, Nineties, what he's
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: listed at measurements uh he may.
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: Be a.
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: LITTLE bit slightly taller he may i Think he's probably
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: bigger at this he may, be a little bit bigger
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: also but he was as a. Freshman sophomore bigger than
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: everybody else so he, was like a five star start
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: like he was already in the top twenty players in
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: the country because of just being. A physical specimen at.
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: His size then he, stopped growing and when that happens
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: you kind of slowly see it drop as other players
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: that our physical tools are. Passing you kind of hurt
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: you now if he walks in, here with THE mindset.
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: Of yeah y'all thought i wasn't i'm gonna GO ahead
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: and snatch back WHAT i initially had, and what i
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: deserve and recognition Could. Be your, NEXT grace in halton
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: to me i think, he has the moves for it,
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: he has the size for it as long as He
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: can fill. Those gaps, with, bates he could but yeah
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: man HIS story is intriguing to, WHEN i went, BACK
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: to look i was like i could Have sworn he
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: was a five he was a five star in the
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: top twenty. At one, point in his career but man
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: this is how you know when you don't have the pseudo,
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: quote unquote Physical, traits but him come but, oklahoma going
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: back around, To him like. You're pretty violent we'll take,
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: You you want to come. Through, You're Filing your boy's.
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: Face yeah so CARRINGTON this is one that and i have.
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: To like choose my words carefully They don't want to
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: sound like. I'm coming off a certain way, carrington is
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: an interesting case study and that he is someone who
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: is a multi time, transfer at the high school level
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: went to a few different high schools in a. Few
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: different areas of the country injury history, And total body
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: recomposition as well and so you talk about like at
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: one point he was a big physical specimen, AND then
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: all of a sudden i Remember He Showed Up, to
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: THE navy all american bowl and i mean he looked,
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: like he was. Two forty nine two fifty two, HE
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: was light at one point i can tell you at
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: one point he. Weighed. In, at Two thirty nine wow
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: so like carrington is one where every it gets out,
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: of the gate and it's great and then move multiple
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: high schools and deal with some injury stuff and lose
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: a ton of that body weight and, Maybe sometimes it
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: affects the, game but at the same time the elements
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: of what made him such a. Promising. Prospect are still
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: in there right if there is anybody who can get
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: the most out of this, specific skill Set And case.
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: Study it is Todd Bates, right IT is absolutely todd
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: bates and I think when you talk about carrington and,
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: What this defense wants. To do naggi talked About it
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: you see it on. Saturdays if you watch, the tape
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: oklahoma wants athletic, penetrating one gap style defensive tackles Guys That.
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: Can go right the grayson holtons If, it all comes
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: together for carrington he has. That type of potential to.
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: Him there's no doubt about that that. Is kind of
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: his skill set but given what the last few, years
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: have looked like for him the, next couple of years
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: moving forward it really has to go back to what
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: it looked like at. THE beginning Of high school career
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: i think oklahoma is a great place for him to
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: do that because of the Teachings He's, going to get
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: from todd bates the structure he's, going to have, within
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: the program and Through that through this model that oklahoma
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: has there as Well equipped as anybody to get. CARRINGTON
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: back to being the prospect i think that so many touted,
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: him to be at, the career and if that happens
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: they have. A dude on the defensive, Line that's the
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: Big thing Though the if and that's why carrington is
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: such an interesting. One, to discuss in this class.
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: Yeah that is the, one that jumps. Out the, most is,
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: Right there, it's physical he penetrates.
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: He's.
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: Violent he wants to be violent. He doesn't Shy away.
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: From VIOLENCE that's what oklahoma wants and i like the
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: fact that they, Did TAKE a flyer on him like
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: I Know, others were wondering about deucee geralds like he
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: was another one in that, range that, people Were curious
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: about you know hoping oklahoma would would get do a
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: flyer on Him as Well because of his he's not
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: He's About the size. Of a grayson hawton as, well he's.
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: Not the largest. Dude but physical totally understand it carrington
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: intrigues me that they are, going to give, him that
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: flyer but, you know at the same time it's. Gonna
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: a chip. On his, shoulder that's the expectation you know
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: one player, we don't really talk about though to, another
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: One Another one out there really brian harris like that
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: dude's been. So locked in since, he, committed it was
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: just like hey. WE have to worry about him i
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: think he.
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: Knows where he wants To Be is there a more
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: todd baits guy In This Cask.
