  Speaker 1: that good jazz. So Coop, Happy Sunday man, how you doing?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Hey, happy Sunday doing good. Excited to be back.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: It's it feels like it's been a little while, because
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: it really has. It's been it's been a few minutes.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Uh was it the last I think we did the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: interview with Adobe, and I think that was the last thing.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: That we Yeah, I say the Adobe conversation was the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: last time we actually came on here and talked the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: little ball, so I said, we got to bring this back. Well,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we'll get more consistent now that we've got the Crimson
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Combine coming up this weekend and we have that which
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I will wrap up spring ball and then we can
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: start really comparing us with the competition of the summer
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and going spring. Spring window is actually the big thing
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that's gonna probably be the big conversation because I think
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the spring window is in the next two weeks. Yes,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: let me see, spring window.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Closes on twenty fifth, Okay, so it's the fifteenth.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Some of the gun it's in a week.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Sixteen, so it opens on the sixteenth, so that'd be
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: ten days from today. And this is a fun one
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: because you get through everybody's spring now you start to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: see the thumb prints, fingerprints from the gms. You got
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to see you know, what are we paying you versus
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: what are we getting?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: And do these.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Do these guys deserve the money that they are being
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: promised right now And we'll talk a little bit about that,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: but yeah, this is this is the last transferportal window
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: before everybody reshuffles once more and the revenue share starts hitting,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: and so it's going to be untraveled grounds from this
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: point going forward.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because Monday is when the settlement is supposed to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: happen full for the for the NCAA in the house.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That's actually I think that that's when the judges are
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: supposed to come up with something I quote unquote finalized.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So I'm expecting that to be uh yeah, we'll have
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: something to really talk about that point. But uh no,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: thank y'all of course for pulling up hit the like buttons,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: wipe your feet. New to the channel, subscribe rate review,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: give us five first and foremost coup. Let's talk about
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: this dob Bond Mitchell transfer Port. Yeah, he has entered officially.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: That was Friday. I put a little video blurb on
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: it talked about a player that I think the Sooner
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: should go after, what we probably won't because we didn't
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: offer him in the beginning, so he was a three
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: star prospect. I doubt we have that type of interest.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: We're probably looking.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: More and more for.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Someone that can actually play.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Like.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Contribute day one. Yeah, we're looking for someone to contribute
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: day one. Now. Granted, I still think it's hilarious that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: oh you dropped this propaganda on us. Let me find
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: this real quick, because I think that this was I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: found it hilarious. I don't know if anybody else would
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: find it hilarious, but I found it hilarious because it
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: was one of those like, oh, you're really doing this,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: give me a second. I'm gonna put it up here
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: because I know you know what I'm talking about, Coop.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know while you're pulling that up, I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I really think that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: You know, like you said, it's August. It's when we
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: need to see something happen.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: You're in a you're in a swimming pool.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Now, I love that. Love that. Yeah, you got it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: You do that, and you're gonna have somebody who's gonna
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: come in August thirtieth and it's gonna be ready to contribute.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: It is from they're gonna go after there. You know,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: it's not like wide receivers where you've got so many
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: across the transfer porter the drier.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Provisional should just mute it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, there's probably sound playing for everybody else, But anyway,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the this play felt like it was on purpose that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: they put this out there.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: This It did you know this?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: It kind of reminds me a little bit of the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Peyton Bowen one handed interception last year. You know, up
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: over the tight end.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: You know, this is hey.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You know we've seen all the uh, all the offensive
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: output and all the videos that they're putting out for
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the offense showing that it's capable, and then comes in
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and one hand intercepts the ball and you're like, oh, okay,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: well there's that and so, but no, this is it
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: because I mean, you know, you heard Gabe and Teddy,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: if you've listened to the Oklahoma breakdown, you know, they
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: kind of set expectations for Huggins this year. I would
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: say that he is a healthier version of Austin Stagner,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: probably a little bit bigger, can move around a little
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: bit more, doesn't have that injury situation that Stagner had
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: with the staff infection. But I mean that's pretty much
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: what they told us to expect out of Huggins. And
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: so then you see this drop where dudes just trucking
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: guys getting in and there entire team is all excited
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: about that, and so Will Huggins right now and Jaron
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Kannick are the two that you're hearing.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: About the most.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Still haven't heard ton about Helms and we hadn't heard
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: anything about Bond until this weekends.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was the one thing I kind of
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: mentioned before that the concern for me was that, yeah,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: this is Will Huggins for who would ask John Ross
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: would ask as Will Huggins. But that was the one
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: thing I mentioned when I was starting to do some
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: room reviews. That was my concern. I hadn't heard anything
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: about Vaughn. Like we knew that he had taking an
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: initiative to try to be better, I guess, do better potentially,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and then you don't hear anything about him that tells you.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: That tells you enough there besides the fact that we
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: saw that he was what two seventy five on the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: depth chart, it's a little big, so hopefully it meant that,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you know, he was putting on some muscle. But no, no,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that was a really good pass. That was That was
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: an excellent pass by Michael Hawkins. And it looks like,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: you know, he's out there feeling good, body feeling great.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, the only thing trending up for
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Vaughn was the way and it sounds like it sounds
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: like the coaching staff if you have not. You know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: read some of the stuff that's come out, it sounds
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: like the coaching staff went above and beyond significantly to
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: try to really help him out. I mean as much
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: as like him moving in with you know, coaching staff
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: members to keep him kind of on the on the upswing.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: But even that didn't work.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And you know, again this is uh, you know, content
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: people can get in a lot of trouble talking about
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: rumors around tight end folks. But I would just say
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: this is I mean, it sounds like the guy had
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you know, the maturity issue was tied around drinking and
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: just showing up.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You know, there was multiple occasions where the guy was
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: late for late for things, days where he just was
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: M I A. And uh, you know, it's not like
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: when I was at OU and if the coaching staff
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: sent out a message to everybody. I mean you know
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: you could say, you know, I didn't get that message.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Now you've got the cell phones. Now everybody's going to
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: get that stuff. And so you know, for you to
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: go M I A in this day and age, that's
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: not good.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: It's a bad ye. It's you know, let's go ahead
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: and get into this Jay.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Because we've talked about watching names that we don't want
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: to see leave in the transfer portal, you know, for
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: almost two years now, and now it's going to be
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: a situation to where Naggy and staff is going to
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: be staring at these guys and again, is the juice
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: worth the squeeze? Do the funds and the assets that
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: they have tied up in these guys, are they being
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: reciprocated in the production. We've all been frustrated in the
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: past where you hear of somebody getting a you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: pretty clean nil deal and then coming in and not
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: not doing anything. And and you know, we had a
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I will not drop names, but we had a tight
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: an offensive tackle last year who we went after came
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: from another P four program and the dude was not good.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: And so I heard multiple people, you know, ask me,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: you know, can you pull his money if he's not
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: doing well? There's consequences and there's situations with that. And
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: so now this is how you do that. This is
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: you bringing in somebody and going, hey, you know, college
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: football doesn't have to operate like the Cleveland Browns with
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson to where you're just stuck in the money.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: You can you can make some moves, and so that's
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: what happened, is you know, they they afforded dvon Mitchell
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: well more than enough time. So if you've read it
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: and you're just upset and you don't like the situation
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and you're wondering why we're getting ready, we're getting rid
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: of a five star tied end, well, you know, the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: best ability is availability, and if you can't even show
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: up to practice, then you don't have a spot on
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the team.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The most important thing you can be, the best
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: thing you can possibly do for this team to show up,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: be there for practice, work, your tell off, all of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And that was the unfortunate thing in that
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: whole situation was is that the rumor was there was
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: no work there. And I hope the best for the kid.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I hope he figures it out. Yeah, that's the most
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: important thing for him is figuring out getting everything together,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: getting his life together, making sure he's not putting himself
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: in more bad situations, you know down the line, you
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: don't you never want, you know, of course, the worst
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: for a kid. So we just hope he figures it out.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be critical. But as of right now, though
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you're seeing there's a lot of fun going on on
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. Jeoh, Materier appears to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: be that dude. Everything that you're hearing about, like hear
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: from the micd up, it's just watching him go, watching
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: him work, watching him talk to the team, watching him
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: wind up. Everything about him appears that it's legit. It
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: he's he's showing that he is everything that he was
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: advertised to be. And as you mentioned about the portal, Stevie,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it. There's nothing we got to be
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: concerned about. When it comes to, you know, Materr himself,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be everything around him. Like Naggy came in
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: initially to evaluate, he started appears that he started to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: evaluate the players first, once on the roster first. Now
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: he's going to start working on recruits and you're starting
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to see and hear that as you know, some recruits
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that we offered initially, you know they probably came to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: consensus and said we probably should back off. It's kind
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of intriguing to see that. But do not be surprised,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: uh frightening. Brennan is not at Oklahoma. You can go
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: look him up at Mississippi State. He is hanging out
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: with Jeff Levy. But all we know is that they're
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: watching every single position and they're evaluating everybody to determine
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: if we need to add more pieces, which I actually
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: expect some changes in a lot of spots. I expect
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: some changes at I actually expect us to add another
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: running back. I expect us to add a wide receiver. Yes,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I expect another a linement, a center, someone interior which
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I'm speaking of. Which have you heard anything on that
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: on that went quiet on Micoola?
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I mean the.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Technically, you can't really do anything yet, right, you know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: it's the portal is coming open. So I think a
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: lot of people who are in it, they're they're they
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: have to already be in it, So there's there's work
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: going on, I would.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Say, technically not with him. Remember his coach got fired. Yeah,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that's why he's in the portal. So you get the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: extra time, yeah yeah, So technically, well, yeah, you get
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the five days to enter the portal from the day
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that your coach is fired, and then you can actually
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: go ahead and jump in. So so that's the case.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I ain't heard anything even about his his u c
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: l A visiting go search it.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can go search that up. But but yeah,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: you're going to hit up the the portal of situation.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I think that you're you're looking for, you know, anybody
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: from that uh you know, inside linebacker. You know, if
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: you can find the right guy, that's one you want
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: to go after. A defensive back. You want somebody who's
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: going to be able to uh have some planning time,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: you know, down to them. It's not talent is not
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: what we're lacking. It's kind of playing time and experience.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Center.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: You know, I think holling Beck is going to be
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: a beast, but he is a few months out of school.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Even Creed wasn't Creed year one. So so you're looking
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: to maybe get somebody else to maybe you know, one
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: year of eligibility, maybe somebody who can be a backup.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Because last thing you want is what we dealt with
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: last year, is you're you're switching guys positions all over
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: the place the entire year. That's what you want to
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: avoid this year. You know, you're not gonna not going
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: to see the same thing again and feel good about life.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: So I think that you're going to want to get
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: some kind of a center defensive back tied end, and
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: you know that's those.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Are some of the spots.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Now, I fully have to think that this is a
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: little bit more of a well oiled, uh, you know
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: machine at this point. You know, a lot of people
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: who are in the portal or who are leaning that
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: way probably have communicated through their agents, handlers, et cetera.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: So there's gonna be a lot in the next two weeks.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of rumors starting to swirl,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: and you're gonna get into the battles where it's you know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: it's it's us going up against LSU in Texas and
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: A and M versus this this guy, or us going
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: against Ohio State and you know, Penn State versus another guy.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: So you're going to see a lot of that because
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: people who are going to be out there, you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: are going to be kind of the this is the
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: last this is the last hurrah before the before the
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: rev share stuff hits. So I think that a lot
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: of people are going to, uh, you know, kind of
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: act desperately. So but that's why you have a guy
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: like Naggie in tow so that he can look at
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: it and make an informed and data driven decision.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I'm looking now hmm. Okay, so he
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: did make his visit to UCLA. Looking on his Instagram,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: he does have a picture there, but he doesn't have
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: it anywhere else, which is interesting. He posted about an
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: hour ago that he had a great time at UCLA.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: But I also haven't seen him posting anything about UCLA
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: like he's posting about Oh like he's reposted about Oklahoma,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: like he's reposted some Oklahoma posts. He followed me like,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: dang there instantly when I followed him, he followed me
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: right back. So we're now, yeah, we're in the waiting game.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: So you remember last year, Jane, we played the waiting
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: game first and foremost for guys like Branson, Hickman, A
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: dom Dom Williams was a was A was a big one.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: You know, he was a spring game participant, not participant,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: but attendee.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: You know, he was there and that's where famously his
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: mom said, you know, if you don't go to school here,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I'm moving here regardless.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: This is my Holly, I don't care.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Now they didn't. Now they do live there.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: So you know, there there's some there's some there's some
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: stuff happening, and you know when you don't have the
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: spring game. I'm a little curious about how this is
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: going to be tracked by all of us crazy people,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: because when you don't have the spring game to talk
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: about at all, like you know, there's going to be
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: uh something needs to feel that and so we've got
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: lots of I mean, there's a lot of good stuff.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And you know, here's what I think, Jay is, we
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: don't need somewhere outsider, really tied in. It's not hitting
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the transfer portal for anything outside of depth. You know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: you you need depth and that's pretty much it. And
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I think that's why a lot of these coaching staffs
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: wanted to get rid of the spring game, you know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the unnecessary need uh to put on a big production
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: where you can get somebody hurt. But also you don't
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: you don't want folks poaching your uh, poasting your backups.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So because teams are definitely wanting to if they can
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: they can get their hands on it.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, fair point.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, so we'll find out about Jake probably.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I think we'll fly find about Jake this weekend, actually
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: probably next weekend. Price let's put this way. I'm keeping
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: my ears to the ground to see if he comes
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: back for the Crimson combine.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: If he shows up, that that's indicative.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I think that. I think that's a done deal. I
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: think it's done. So uh, let's talk spring practice. Though.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you out for pulling up at the light button
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: net to the channel subscribe rate review give us five. Yeah, lemon,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: this that you probably are on the ode sooner later
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: channel that I switched up. I'm gonna do something different
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: with that one. I'm still putting stuff over there because
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I need to have content in there, but I'm gonna
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: change that up. I may make that the channel where
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I do talk a lot more pro stuff. But I digress.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Come over here to the standard unfair sports channel and
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you'll find this pie with me and Coop. Yeah, join us.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: But anyway, let's talk practice. Let's talk a little bit
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: first defense, then go to offense. Because I love this
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: question from my boy Ace. He asked a good question.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Who do we think starts at Cheetah? If y'all got questions,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: put them in the comments. If you wanted to jump
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to the top, feel free to do a super chat.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: We always love some donations that way. We think it
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: is a trash can. But anyway, Coop Cheetah. I'm just
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and be straight.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Up to Shaun White. That's who starts at Cheetah.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Get out, Oh behind you go, you gotta go. No.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I personally think it's powers makes the most sense. I
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: think he's shown enough growth. I mean, I've heard he's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: been working with the ones. I believe it'll be him,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: And honestly, I think as Dobe gets more healthy, we
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: see him play more corner, then corner and nickel rather
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: than like I think I can imagine seeing him out
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: there with Gentry, or seeing him out there with Eli
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: right as your third corner who possibly starts often, especially
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: with his size and ability, and then you move him
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: into nickel whenever you're going on a passing down. But
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I think I think RP three leads the way at Cheetah.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And based upon what some of the reports where I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: saw on the socials was you saw Kendall Daniels playing
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: more inside. So you had imagine Kendall with Samuel Meseigo
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: as your mic oh as a perfect rowth, as a
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: perfect like rotation with Kip and Kobe, or even Kendall
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: rocking it with like either Kobe or Kip, but I
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: know almost Cigo's fighting his way on there. So to me,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I can understand the Kendall Daniels thoughts at playing Cheetah.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I don't. I think I see him more. I think
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I see him being moved around between interior linebacker and safety.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I think Cheetah's probably gonna get locked up by Powers.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: What you're thinking, Yeah, I mean listen, they they were
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: working some of these young guys between Boganowskin Powers down
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: there last year, and so just you know, with that
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: safety room, it was pretty you know, it looks really
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: good for the future. I think that we all everybody's
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: excited about Boganowski and Powers. But if you talk to
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Reggie or if you talk to any of the guys
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: on the team, or even Mike, they'll say, don't don't
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: don't forget it out Hardy, because Hardy's in there too,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: and Hardy's been running, you know, running at the front
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: of the front of the group too. So a lot
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: of stuff kind of ties into health. You know, you're
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: going to have Brent Vinnables wants pieces and chess pieces.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: He can go do, you can do you know, some
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: really really good things, and you want to be able
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: to shuffle in and out guys. You know, we saw
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: it last year where Danny Stutsman was off the field
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: on some of the bigger, bigger plays, you know, early
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: in the season at Auburn, very very big playing the game.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Stutsman's on the sideline and you've got Kobe and Kip
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: in there, and I mean a lot of people who
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: are bald Knower's were like, what is going on? Why
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: is not in there? Well, these guys are, they're starting
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: to do it. They're they're they're they're they're earning their
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: their spots. And so I think that you're probably going
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: to see a mixture of Dolbian powers right there. Uh
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Oma sego Is was recruited as a linebacker and yeah,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: and so I mean expect this. Hardy is going to
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: get a lot And I would not sleep on Hardy,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: you know, rotating in with R. S J And Peyton
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Bowen throughout the season.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: That's gonna be. That's gonna be something because you can say.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Something on that. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it's R.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: S J and Hardy starting.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Yep, just saying and so if there's listen, if you
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: were a five par if you're a five star, they
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: want you on the field, and if you earn the
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: playing time, they want you on the field. Now, if
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: dudes are and I gotta apologize for the kidos screaming
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: right outside the door, So that's always great.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: So, uh, this family moment's brought to you by PEPSI.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: But it's okay, yeah, yeah, but no, it's you're gonna
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: see a lot of guys. You're gonna see a lot
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: of guys in that safety area. You're going to see
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of these young guys in there. And with
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: what you're hearing as the potential strength of this team
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: is the defensive line. That's good because what you need
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: out of your defensive backs, you don't need extended coverage
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: times at that point. You need them to do a
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: good job and to you know, if it if it
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: gets into breaking the pocket, you know, to the the
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: oh crep route, that's really what you need to do.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: And so yeah, I'm one hundred percent sure. I love
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: the I love the the group of safeties and defensive
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: backs you've got. But yeah, you've got a lot of
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: talent out there and they're gonna need to be on
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: the field. So if you look in the future and
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: you see defensive backs as Gentry all right, sorry Gentry Dolby,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: and you know, Eli Bowen, and your safety is as
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Hardy RSJ. You're cheetah as powers like, that's not anything
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: you should be scared or worried about or concerned about.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: That's that's a pretty dope backfield right there. And and
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: so yeah, Gentry' shoulder, you know, I saw the question.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, got just sick, but you go ahead.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they got that thing cleaned up. Fun fact is
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: if you have something torn in your shoulder and you
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: fix something else, you don't get better. And so they
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: got the right surgery and they got him cleaned up.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: So he's running right now during the spring. If anybody
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: has any concerns, they're not going to push him really hard.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, is that really true though, that you know,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: if they don't, if they fix something else when you
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: have a shoulder problem, that it doesn't lead to you
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: actually healing just magically in the background. I was just curious.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure I wasn't crazy, not
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: saying any you know, anything out of the line, but no, seriously,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: that's that's the fun that's the funny thing. Is that
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: you cannot expect anybody to be healthy if they aren't
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: if you don't fix what's going on the actual problem.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: And that's the good thing. We the expectation here is
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that gentry gentries put its way gentries and paths. He's
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: fully decked out. He may not be hitting people, but
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: he's fully decked out, yeah, which is what matters the most.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's what's most important, is that he's
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: fully decked out. He's actually practicing. He's going through drills
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: and stuff. So I can expect them to not probably
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: have him do any like tackling of people until the fall,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: but I can totally see him doing one on win drills.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I can definitely I could see him doing some stuff
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: during the Crimson combine because they're gonna want him to
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: just be out there moving. But dB, we're gonna probably
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: need one more vet just in case, because of course
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: you're still waiting on Gentry. Eli's got the injured ankle,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and then Kendall Dobey's coming back. Katie's coming back from
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: that ankle surgery in which he didn't have the boot
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: on and he said he's training. It's going through his rehabit.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: He's probably back by first game of the season. You
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: still want to have an insurance policy there. So we'll
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: jump on. I see a question here about the offense.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I'll jump into that in just a minute. I like
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: this from Ace. How'd you feel about that, uh interview
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: that BB did with.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Payt Well, it's a homeboy.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are just showing up in Norman
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: and not letting everybody know what's going on. And so, uh, listen,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: we were trying to the on the show with us
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: last year and you know, we we really talked about
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff with him kind of in the DMS.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think that he sees something in
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: this team, and I think that he is going to
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: pay attention to Oklahoma early in the season, and uh,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: you know, if if this team gets off to a
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: good start, watch him because you know, I Pate does
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: show a lot of affinity, uh, you know, for this
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: team when they're doing well, and you know, a lot
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: of people want to see John Matier, you know, a
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: low recruited guy, just a guy that just has a
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: gravity to him, and a lot of people will love
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: to love this team and a lot of people are
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: gonna love to hate this team.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: And yeah, so, uh, you know I like to pay interview.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: I was listening to it while I was doing some
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: some extra work, so I need to go back and
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: listen to it again. But you know it's it's Pate's
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: going to go where the stories are, and this this
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: team is a story because you saw what happened on
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: offense last year and if you had a capable offense,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: you know this team looks completely different. And so, uh,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: what I mean, what were your thoughts about it? Because
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I mean that's the uh you're not if you're Josh Paton,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: You're not showing up to talk to a team that
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: you think is going to go six and seven.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Agreed, And and I know that that was a part
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: of the rotation of teams that he wanted to see
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and want. You know, he reaches out and if there
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: he's invited in, he comes in and just like you said,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: he's going where the story is. And right now, the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: story truly is can Oklahoma bounce back from what they
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: looked like last year? And when you bring in the
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: top at the time, the number one transfer portal player
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: in and he's a quarterback, you got a good chance
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: of flipping around what you did last year, especially because
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the defense for the most part is still intact. You know,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: your main key pieces at defensive line, linebacker outside of
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Dandy Stutsman, and secondary outside of Billy Bowman. Brought everybody back.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: You know you're and and you've added some good pieces
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: former five star Marvin Jones Junior. So that's always a
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: big plus to add. So I think Brent Nobles in
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: that conversation with Peyt and why Peyt came, he told
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: him and I thought was intriguing that he focused on
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: he wants complimentary football, and he preached the sermon that
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: you want to hear from your coach. Now we need
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: this coach to execute. You don't win games with your speeches.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: You went over the fan base with your speeches, and
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: you buy yourself additional time, but you don't win with
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: just that speech. And I think that he gave us that.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like he gave us a reason to actually
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: believe the reports that we're seeing because truth be told.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Last year when we talked about it, y'all remember him.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: You can go back and pull the receipts all you
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: won't remind y'all we told y'all. The one thing that
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: we hoped for this was hope that our quarterback will
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: be forging fire and he will come back out stronger.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: You know, he will take the pressure as a piece
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: of coal and turn to a diamond. We weren't saying
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: that Jackson Arnold was guaranteed to be great. We said
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: that he's getting his butt kicked and practice, and we
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: hope that this turns him into similar to what we
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: got out of, say in Bradford, who was getting his
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: butt kicked offs on practice. It didn't work. So now
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: we got my tear who's actually cooking this defense while
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: also getting cooked by the defense. So when you see
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: that there's a balance there, bro, I'm about as happy
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: as I could possibly be there. That to me jumps
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: out the most out of him talking about it and
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: then seeing the reports that that's actually actually what's happening
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: in practice. Offense Wednesday, defense, Wednesday. Offense wins two days,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Defense wins two days, and it's going back and forth.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have complimentary football for the first time.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: In a bit.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I had somebody kind of say something to me that
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I thought was a little nerdy, but I like it
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: so I'm gonna share it with you guys. He was
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: watching the second Dune Flip and the part where you know,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: the main character says, you know, I lead the way
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: and you guys follow me. And I think that the
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: the difference between last year is Jacks Arnold was just
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: out there, just trying to do what play called.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Was out there right. He didn't understand the ups, the downs,
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: the ins and outs.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: He was just doing what was called. Whereas now you've
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: got Matier out here. And Matier knows the offense. He
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: lives and breathes the offense. He knows option A, Option B,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Option C. He knows how to call in and out of,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: you know, in out of plays. So you have a
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Jah Matier who, like I said, it's an underdog story.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: You know, you transfer from Washington Washington State, you follow
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: cam Ward, So people are gonna have eyes on him,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna want to they want to see, you know, is.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: This the real deal?
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I I mean, I I really do believe that he
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: has control of the offense. Last year, we had no
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: identity on offense. We saw that sometimes the defense looked
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: like they knew what was coming more than our offensive
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: players knew what was coming, and that's that's not good.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Whereas you know, now you see again competitive football, you
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: see complimentary football, and that's what you want to see
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: in spring. That's what you want to see in the ball.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: In spring, you're testing out things to see what your
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: capabilities are. Can we get away with running? This?
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Is this something that we can do? You know, do
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: we have the You know, Ben.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Arbuckle wants to run a lot of crossers in on offense,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: and so Jay, guess what you need to do need
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: to have in order to run a lot of crossers
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: on offense, heady wide receivers who can run crossing routest
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: guys who are really good at go balls and they're
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: not very good across the middle. That's not going to
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: help you because you've got to have the capable receivers
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: to do it. And so you know there is going
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: to be when there's gonna be losses when you're hearing
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: the stuff in the spring.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, you know, one of the
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: things that I've really really enjoyed and watching the the
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Sooner PR team here this year in the spring has
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: been the position battles, the one on ones going at it.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: But when you're seeing these clips, you're seeing a bunch
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: of guys who you've never seen before making plays. And
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: why is that important? Because that's what everybody's wanting to know.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Can this guy make a play? Can that guy make
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: a play? What is going to happen there? And so man,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I just this is this is the excitement about the
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: spring football is is everybody starts getting.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Their delusions of grandeur.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Everybody is you know, playoff playoff bound and national championship bound,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: and every all is good right now unless you catch
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: like some some wicked in camp injuries.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: So but yeah, a lot of people are going.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: To you don't run into of course, but yeah, yes, knock.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: On wood, Yeah we're gonna we're to see We're going
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: to see this defense is going to continue to be
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: a good brand Pinnable's defense. You now are getting to
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: see some of the more talented guys who were recorded recruited.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Into this system.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: You know, these guys are not you know, Danny Stutsman,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Ethan Downs, Billy bum They were all recruited into a new,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: different system.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: But this is the BV guys.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: These are the guys that this coaching staff has wanted.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: And so this is this is this is good and
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: you like seeing the the work during spring break. You
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: like seeing the one on one work between a tier
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: and the wide receivers. You know, dude was heading to
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Houston and stop down in Dallas to work out with
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Dean Burgs and Johnny Gibson, you know, as they're doing
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: some wide receiver training, Like there's nothing else you want
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: to hear. There's nothing better because you're not hearing about
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: quarterback controversy. You're not talking about is Michael Thompson really
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: doing so much better? So is there is there is
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: there a closed book on who the starter is? Like,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: you're not hearing that stuff.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: No, you're hearing You're hearing that it's you know, legitimate
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: that you got multiple options there, which is something you
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: would like to say.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: That you have.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: It's always a plus and the way it sounds, you know,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: my tear is here continuously working his tail off, which
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: we all love to see. But defense wise, we're gonna
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: be in a great spot because it's Privtables. Statistically, on average,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: typically the Brevitables defense jumps has its next leap around
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: this time. This is when Clemson start to see those
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: defenses really evolve into something.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: And so.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: That's what we're ready for here and let's talk it.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: There's another question that just popped that popped up, which
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: was a good one.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Jay.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: You've talked about Jackson, Stone and Williams, how it's strong
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: doing well. Truth be told, we've heard really good things
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: about everybody. When it comes to the defensive line. It
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: sounds like we legitimately have a three deep in each spot. Yeah,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: and it sounds like each spot is very very competitive
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: in that capacity. So you've got a you got you know,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: three nose tackles probably with Jaden Jackson, who's out right
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: now because the shoulder surgery. He's he's there. You still
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: got Stone who's at the size now, I mean, he's
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: what probably three twenty at this point. And then you've
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: got Marcus Strong, who I've seen reports that he's having
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: a really good spring right now as in there, he's
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: definitely going to be on the roster's and he's bulked
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: his body up well over three hundred edges of course,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: as you can see here Marvin Jones junior years one.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: That's everybody's everybody's satisfied. They are very happy that they
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: got him.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: And and in Florida State. You know, we've made we've
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: made comment on it before Florida State. A lot of
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: the guys that I talked to over there were very upset.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Not only did see obviously a former five star and
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe a leader of the defense leave, but
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: they thought that this next year was going to be
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: a big year for him because he'd got the maturity
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: stuff and nailed down. Now he has expectations coming in
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: here and he is really, really really excited to be,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: you know, surrounded by so much good effort and talent
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: around him. And that's another thing is you know last year,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: you know, we had times where the defensive end position
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: with our Mason Thomas was was super dominant, but we
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: never saw anything kind of out of both sides the
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: defensive line and if you can, you know, line up
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: in Marvin Jones Junior on one side and and R
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Mason Thomas on the other side, and then any combination
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: of de tackle you got you got a situation where
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: who do you double team? And uh, you know, the
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: returns on Marba Jones this year have already been everybody
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: is super stoked about that. You know, you even have
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: guys and Eric Basham you you you bring this question up.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Jacob Henry. Jacob Henry is going through his fall practice. Uh,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Jacob and I have agreed to do an interview as
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: soon as he gets through, sorry, the spring practice, because
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: he wanted to he wanted to earn something before he
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: talked about something, right, So we'll be having him on
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: here for too long. But you know, again, he's he's
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: playing catchup and he's got a lot of studs out
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: in front of him, so he's gonna have you know,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: and he's he's a big wrestler, but he's a small
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle because I really he's I still think he's
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: in the two eighty range, so I don't think he
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: is really stumping up there at the three hundred levels.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: So if you're going to be that small, you got
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: to be super quick. So he's learning, and there's a
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: lot of learning going on. I don't know if he
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: you know, if he lands himself a spot where he's
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: sticking on this team right now, it's going to be
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: as kind of back into the bench. But with the
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: new numbers, you can't just have guys on the team.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: And so I'll wrap this back to Marcus Strong because
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: this is probably a year that Marcus Strong needed to
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: either have himself a breakout year to stay on the
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: team or it was going to be, you know, a
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: situation where there was a tough conversation about you know,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: hopping in the portal. And it sounds like Marcus Strong
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: has done the work to earn himself a rotation spot
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: on the team.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I expect Strong in there. And I
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: have to disagree with this here Classic Sports. You think
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: that we don't have three deep at both d tackles,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's look at it. Your nose is
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: going to be what Jade Jackson, David Stone and then
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Marcus Strong. Yeah, Ace Hodges behind him moves you know,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: former powerlift or wrestler, you know, needs to get his
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: weight up. He's about to ninety and six is the
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: last time of the at the roster. Your other side,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: you know, you've got and Dominic it can also play nose.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Just keep that in mind as well, because he's over
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: three thirteen as well, but he's not He's probably gonna
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: play a three three technique. You've got Dominic Williams, You've
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: got Grayson Halton, who had a really good year last year.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: By the way Stone can also play the three technique.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: But then you bring in Trent Wilson, who I've already heard.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: He's over three hundred pounds and he plays like in
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: SECD even's alignment. Technically, I think we got three ATI's
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: spot and a lot of the both of them are
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: and a lot of them are interchangeable. Because the base
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: upon the reports with Stone is he's still got the
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: quickness and stuff at the three, even.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: At that size.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that size, and he's just.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Added size to his already fast frame and it didn't
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: slow him down. So if that's the case, I don't know.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying I think you just got a hands
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: of having three deep there.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I just have to say this classic it's foreign to us.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Having good players at all four positions has been been been.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: It's been since Benito and Winfrey and all those guys
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: were here, and that you could say that way, we
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: had four guys across the defensive line that were actually,
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: you know, difference makers. And I don't even know if
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: you can say like this this group lining up against
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: that group, there's some NFL guys in that group. This
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: group has has chance of doing bigger things and that
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: team was good. That team was really really good with
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Benito Perry and Winfrey, Isaiah Thomas. You know that it
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: was a really, really good crew. We just have been
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: lacking the the outside pass rusher and the guys up
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: the middle who were going to be able to do
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: both things because you know, up until this past year,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: you couldn't see you couldn't see a guy like I mean,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: let's just say Grace and Halton, like up until this point,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: like he struggled when it came time to you know,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: the run game. He was getting tossed around. Being in
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: the upper two seventies to eighties. That's not something that
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: you know, especially in the SEC, that you're going to
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: be able to do because those defensive are so are
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: those offensive guards and those centers. Those guys are you know,
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: clearing three twenty three, fifteen stuff like that, and so
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: they're at twenty thirty pounds up on you and they're
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: the one dictating the pace. It was tough and so
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: you're going to have to get four across the board
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: in the SEC. And I think this is the first year.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: And yeah, Robert, you're right, Like, if you got guys
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: like Marcus Strong and Henry who can come in and
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: be that Yeoman's Ethan down Corey Klein, that type of situation.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Guys who just Isaiah Coe is another guy who just
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: you know more recently, who was just a guy who
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: was always there doing something good and so confis If so,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: if you want to say that we are five five
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: deep a de tackle potentially six, I'll give that to
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: you because Trent Wilson is young. But at the same time,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Trent Wilson's going to get his and that's the that's
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: the big thing.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: That's the only part of my attitude.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Probably I love it, and it's a good one. It's
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: one of those I'm not smiling because I'm here to
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: do work attitude. I love it.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean you got to get out there,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: and I actually put some thump in it because these
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, would you rather see a guy come out here?
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: You know, Trent Frent's probably going to have a lot
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: of the David Stone type snaps from last year, you know,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: to where it's you're going to get in You're gonna
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: get some hurt. You know, last year we really dropped
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: the ball by having a crap offense because it didn't
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: allow us to let some of the backups cook. And
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: it's the situation that we really found ourselves. We haven't
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: had a lot of blowout, blowout time game game time
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: over the past couple of years, and we want to
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: get back to that. We want to get back to
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: up fifty six to zero halftime and then you know,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: let some of the younger kids come out here and
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: you know, try to preserve the shutout. Like listen, if
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: we give up crap touchdowns with our third and fourth
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: string guys, I'm okay with that. This year, you know,
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: we will we will asterix the stats for the defense
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: and say our first team is X y Z.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't care.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: I just want to see backups and depth pieces get
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of consistent run this year.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: That's what we need. We need. We need some of
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: the young guys to play because, as mentioned in the
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: chat by Classic Sports, which is a very good point,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: we need some of the younger players to step up.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: And the only way those younger players step up is
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: how playing. Yeah, gotta get my opportunity to get out
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: there and play. And I think that that's actually what's
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. So, yeah, we need some of these younger
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: guys step up, which Taylor Wine has been getting some words.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: You've been hearing about him. Taylor him as well at
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Cheetah at sixty six, he's just not thick enough. But
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I digress. You're hearing good from the other ones.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Pj's up to sixteen. It sounds like he's still really
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: good at two sixty. And he's actually healthy, which has
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: been the biggest problem we had with him is his ankles.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: He's been having health issues. He's healthy, So y'all got you.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: You're getting what you want out of him. Our Mason actually,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: me and John talked about this, which five Star really
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: needs to step up. We'll get jump into that another time.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: But next set of questions that have come through here,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: hold a second, and Daniel Koyer is gonna be an issue.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: He's gonna he's gonna definitely be an issue. Don't don't
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: worry about that. He's gonna cause problems. But John, you
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: asked his question about Adobe to may come back by Texas.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: His goal is to play by Illinois State. I'm gonna say, realistically,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: you get him back Kent State, maybe Auburn actually Auburn Baby. Realistic,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I'd say Auburn would be realistic, which is basically about
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: the time that was because he was he was her Tennessee,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: So that Auburn game would be the exact about the
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: exact spot that or Kent State will be the exactly
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Kin State's probably the exact spot. No, no, it is
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: that would be the spot because yeah, if he comes back, yeah,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Alburn would be that game, I think Auburn would be it.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: So I'd say Auburn would be the most realistic. But
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: his goal is Illinois State, which means he possibly could
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: play a few snaps in that game, maybe a few
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: snaps against Temple, But I think Auburn is the one
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: where he comes back. That's me.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Well, he's he's another person that you forget about quite often.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: And I mean if he if he wasn't a friend
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: of the program and somebody that we talk about quite
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: a bit, because I mean, obviously we're big Kendle Dolby fans,
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: but I mean this is literally a guy that you
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: forget about and you know, and I would say that
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: guys like Gentry and guys like Kenda Dolby are are
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: people that you know. The the the casual fans probably
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: has kind of forgot a little bit about and so
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: you can add those guys in and if they come
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: back close to what they were there, they're big assets
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: for this program.
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: They are. And that's the most important thing is that
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: that makes them like a massive assets if they come
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: back nice and healthy. But this is good question here.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Rumors around the wide receiver room is that there's a
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: bunch more injuries. People are hurt, everybody's dying. What are
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: these rumors true? So let me add to that real quick.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: We got no jobs, no money, our pets, heads are heads.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Are falling off. So first and foremost, there were a
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: couple of wide receivers that did go down, but nothing
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: long term, nothing too serious. The last thing we heard
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: was that, of course Jane Gibson had a set back,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't sound like he's done for the year
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: no more a I'm done for probably the summer type situation.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: So that's good. That means that he still can be
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: on pace to come back when we actually need him,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: which is when beginning of the season. So I'm gonna
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: count on that to actually happen and not be too
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: stressed out about it, even though I've been stressed like
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: crazy about it as of late, but I digress, he'll
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: be back. Contes Lewis, Josiah Martin and who else was it?
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Actually those were the two that had I heard had
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: light dingers, but have practice recently, so we're good.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And again.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Jayden Gibson running on air doing his you know, kind
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: of where are we at in the in the rehab process,
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: and he had discomfort and they said, all right, well
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: let's let's stop what was going back now, and let's
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: let's take one step back and and kind of hit
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: the drawing board again. So it wasn't a situation where
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: he retore patella or anything like that, like he just there.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: There was there was that I put Jayden Gibson in
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: the same situation as Doby and Gentry is from what
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing about Setegna, what I'm hearing about Burks, you know,
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: fully participating in everything. And then on top of it,
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Bonnie Gibson zon Kerney has had got some good reviews
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: that he you know, he's taken another step.
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: So you've got guys who you can rely on. And
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: so if if.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Jaden Gibson comes back around Auburn time or you know,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: right around that time. Again, it's just added extra of
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: him coming back in. I don't expect to see that
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: situation that we saw last year.
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Ever again, you know in any program, because a lot
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: had to go wrong at the right time in order
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: for that to happen. So yeah, again, if you're if
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: you're freaked out about the injury stuff, like we understand,
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: but every single year, there there's an injury list at Auburn,
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: there's an injury list at Alabama, there's an injury list
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: at Yukon. There's an injury as list at Bartielow High School.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Right now, everybody is going to have things up. Why
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: because you're hitting each other every single day.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think carry On is actually dealing with
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: some some light dingers as well too. But I expect
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Tim to be back summer as well. So again, knock
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: on wood, we're not dealing, We're not hearing anything. I
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: think the big report that I've seen every insider say
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: on their practice report is that the biggest win is
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: that there's been no major setbacks when it comes to
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: and Launch is back. He bursted for a big touchdown
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: recently in practice, but then they shut him down just
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: because so that sounds really it makes you feel good.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And last year everybody was going, you know what
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: needs to happen. There's the there there's a lot of
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: people that told me last year that the team doctors
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: went and said we need to back it off the
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: tadbit and everybody was upset because we didn't well. This year,
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: once guys are getting little dings, we're saying, all right,
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: you come back over here at spring, let's rest, let's relax,
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: let's chill out, let's get you ready to go for
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: the summer in the fall. And so that's what we're
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: seeing from the coaching staff is they do see somebody,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: they're not forcing them out there now. Again, that's a
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: different debate for a different days on you know, how
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: much do you want to be pulling guys out left
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: and right. But at the same time, coming after last
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: year in the spring, you can take it up, you know,
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: you can take the conservative approach.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and definitely go check out oak on Breakdown where
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Lane Johnson as well as Gabe we're breaking down some
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: of the one on ones and stuff. I'll put it
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: to you this way, and this is a great way
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: to wrap things up, is y'all. Everyone has that one
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: fear right now is offensive line. That is what everybody's
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: concern is, everybody's wondering and uncomfortable. Lane Johnson kind of
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: gave raved him and Gabe kind of gave some praise
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: to the line. It sounds like, especially because he was
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: in town. Lane was in town recently. You saw actually
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: there was a Sam Bradford sighting. Yep, actually here now.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: He tried to hide in the back.
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: The back of the photo, which I.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Get, you know, that's just what sammy boy does. But
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: we had a sam Bradford sighting, would say we find
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: a picture real quick. I think everyone needs to see
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: this picture because that that that put a smile on
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: my face. If anything, see if it shows up, well,
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: let me fix this. Okay, let me fix that. See
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: I can actually see it. But we had a Sam
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Bradford site because we had a Sam Bradford sighting, that
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: made me say, oh things are uh there we go. Yeah,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: you see him back there in the back, right there,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: hiding in the back corner. He's hiding in that back
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: corner back there right by Teddy and Lane, which Lane
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: is huge. I don't realize Lane is a dang huge good.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: Did you see the the I think.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: Twenty six or twenty seven guy that's I think it's
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: I think his first names Cooper, but he would yeah,
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: Cooper Hatchett, Yeah, Cooper Hatchet in there with h.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: I mean I think it's total Lane or Watso.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and that's a that's a boy who came
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: out of high school at tight End.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Cooper Hackett, my bad Hackett, not Hatchet, but yes Hackett.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: He was sixty seven two fifty offensive lineman and he
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: was on campus and he's a giant when it comes
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: to stand next to BV. But yeah, he Yeah, as
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: you can see, we had the oens here and that
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: was the one thing he said that he was looking
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: for as a place where you know, veterans would show
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: up and even funnier that you know, these guys all
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: come to practice right afterwards and he's like, that was
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: pretty cool to see them. I'll want to come back.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: And we all know that Sam Bradford ain't been back
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: since Stoops has been gone.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: I think the last Sammy Bee sighting we saw was
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: was at the Toby Keith funeral. I think that he
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: came to that one, but I mean outside of that, yeah,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: I mean Sam does his own his own stuff. I mean,
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: he he's from Oklahoma. He's been around all this, you know,
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: all this Oklahoma hoopla his whole entire life. And so,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: you know, I also think that a lot of people
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: forget that Sam was really really quiet guy like he's
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: and he's extremely athletic, so he likes doing. He likes
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: going and doing, and he doesn't do a lot of
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: just hang out and chill with folks. So it's good
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: to be able to see him back. But you know,
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: just to see that crew right there, that just makes
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: me happy. And yeah, there you go, there's there's Cooper
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: with with Lane that just blows my mind.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just I still just baffles me just how
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: big Lane is, Like goodness, dude is just But and
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: then Gabe has gotten so small because he doesn't play anything. Well,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: he's got to a great comfortable size, which is perfect.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: Gave it to him, Gabe.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: I want to He made a comment the other day
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: that he was right around the God what did he say?
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: He was right around the two thirty two forty range. Now,
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: And I mean that's crazy because you hear the story
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: about you know, I guess when they asked Gabe and
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Lane both to move from tight end over the offensive line.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: You get two guys who are all conference players. You know,
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: Lane's going to be an NFL Hall of Famer. You
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: know guys who switched over from tight end. You know,
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: that's it's we have all kinds of people up and
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: down the Oklahoma history on the offensive line who switched
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: over from defensive tackle tight end. Uh. You know, it's
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: a pretty cool deal. But yeah, that that's that's that's
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: great photos. That's what some of the stuff you want
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: to see. And yeah, I agree. Somebody said Teddy looks
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: like he can still play. I promise you Teddy probably
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: still has dreams that BB calls him over and somehow
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: gets him in the game, and it's probably uh uh,
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: I mean it's probably one that he wishes that he
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: could get out there and do it one time, because
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: I promise you he would turn around towards the line
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: back I can crew and say that's how you do it, that's.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: How we do it, that's how you do it, that's
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: how you do it. So but I mean that's the
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: latest practice stuff that we're hearing. I'm ready to see
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: what we look like when it comes to the Crimson
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: combine and see all these drills. But Matier Mate's really
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: you're gonna enjoy seeing him. If you come out there,
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: you're gonna enjoy seeing him throw the ball.
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: Running back wise, I definitely expect a lot of ex
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: rob a lot of salt chuck, a lot of Javante
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Barnes when Barnes gets back healthy, and honestly, you price
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: see them Sam Franklin, which is kind of interesting to see.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Tory Blaylock has also made a name for himself already
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Brace yourself for Torri x xitry Man could be a
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: lethal combination.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: I uh, you know, bless his heart.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: But you know, I live a little bit out here
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: in the country. The other day my daughter wanted me
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: to hit a golf ball, and so I went into
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: my clubs, and you know, not on the course, I'm
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: hitting it in my front yard. God knows what's gonna happen.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: So I just kind of went for that older club
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: that I just really don't use very much anymore, but
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: it's good for exhibition type stuff. And I grab it
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: and I smash it right off the metal barn of
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: neighbor about quarter mile away, No joking, right, across the street.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: But I feel like that's Sam Franklin. He is he
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: is the guy on the team to where if we're
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: up fifty six, you know, fifty six nothing in the
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter, Sam Franklin's is going to come in and
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: he's going to be the bulk of everything. You're gonna
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: give Tori his run. But yeah, I mean, I think
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: that's that's what Sam Franklin is is he is that guy.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: And we'll see if you see Sam Franklin all of
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: a sudden start hearing rumors about Sam Franklin and the portal,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: that means that we probably want somebody else to come in.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: But outside of that, I mean, he's a good number
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: four back for him because he's got plenty of experience
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: and he's it's not like he's talentless.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: So it's funny you say that because I was. I
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: was chopping it up with somebody today and they were like,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: the one thing about Franklin I noticed is that when
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: he actually has the ball, he looks like a running back,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: like a good one. Like he gets the ball, You're like, oh, okay,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: he can make something happen. The problem is just getting
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: the ball. He's had issues getting the ball and holding
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: the ball and not dropping the ball, dropping a pass
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: or drop or fumbling the ball. It's holding the ball.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: If he holds the ball, I think he can be
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: leaked on me. Ran for thirteen hundred yards and I
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: don't think it was a fluke. It's just she got
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: a you know, hold the ball. But we'll see what. Yeah,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: we'll see that looks like before we wrap up, we
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: had a big vis visitor this weekend on top of
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: you know, Cooper and a few others. But one name
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: that everybody needs to go ahead and know is this one.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Douce Gerald's.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: He visited.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: You see him with Bates, seeing him with BV and what.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: Ponge immediately popped up and says that the Sooners are
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: you know, he's he's he he did his you know,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: thanks for the visit. Sounds like we are massive competitors
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: for Deuce. Based upon the words of Steve wo Fong
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: from on three, we are in the mix for this
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: behemoth of a human being.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: Deuce has visited O you about one hundred and eleventy
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: seven times. So there's nothing he is coming here to see,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: nothing at all that he is coming here to see.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: He knows what the program is, he knows what his
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: lot is. I would say at this point it is implementation, conversations,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: you know, and talking to him recruiting stuff like that.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying that that's not also happening with
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: at least one other program, but yeah, I mean we
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: are here, and we've been here. He has been here
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: several times. And if you ask PG, PG says, you know,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: it's it's getting close for him to to make in
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: the call. So uh, man, I it's you're not going
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: up against Sacramento State for guys like this. I mean,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: he is going to have other very very big programs
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: including Ohio State, you know who is you know, coming
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: off the National championship game, they are absolutely having to
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: reload lost a ton of production. And then you got
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: Clemson also, So that's a big number. That's a big guy.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: And you know, Jay, I think I'm gonna have to
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: go back and look. But I mean usually around this
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: time in the recruiting process, we're never more than three
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: or four guys, you know, in tow at this point
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: in time. So I think that I think that, you know,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: I would like to see him not pull a David
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: Stone and wait till the end of the cycle to
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: do it. I'd like to see him do it somewhat early.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: It does not matter if he commits to Ohio State, Oklahoma,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Clemson until early signing day. It is going to be
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: a continuation of recruiting for whichever team that you know
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: picks up the early commitment.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: So right now, so right now, it sounds like Oklahoma's
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: got a very good chance with him. It'll sounds like
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: we're in We're in the tops. Him and kJ four
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: together would be obscene and they again Trojan fight point
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: this out. He tore it up at the Unarmoured game,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: similar to the way that Trent Wilson did when he
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: decided to commit. He killed it over there and shut
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: it down and was like, nope, it's where I'm coming.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: He ended up being the only the lineman we brought
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: in and kids, kids gonna be something period. But I'd
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: like due.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: Douce and kJ. I mean those guys like each other
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: a lot.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Oh good point.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah that also and you guys, I mean we saw
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: the defensive line pull last year, so you knew, I
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: guess two years ago, so you knew that, you know,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: with the Trent Wilson, you know, him being the only
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: one you knew that it was going to be a
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: big one.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: You know, Tulsa.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: Tulsa's got some guys here in the twenty six and
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: twenty seven classes on the defensive line that are going
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: to be big targets for Oklahoma. And you got to
• 1:05:36
