Speaker 2: my friend. Hope it was a good one.
1:28
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, my man, it was. It was awesome.
1:30
Speaker 1: Had a great week so far. And yeah, there's so
1:34
Speaker 1: many great things to talk about. Everybodyk is dropping their
1:40
Speaker 1: preview episodes, their preview magazines are coming in in the mail.
1:44
Speaker 1: We're starting to get the true opinions of those that
1:48
Speaker 1: do a ton of reading and writing and research and
1:53
Speaker 1: analytics on how they feel about these teams. And it
1:56
Speaker 1: appears I'm not gonna lie, well almost coming out pretty
1:59
Speaker 1: well on a lot of it. But I did want
2:01
Speaker 1: to start off with the one thing that that felt
2:05
Speaker 1: pretty good. I guess you could say it's that Oklahoma
2:11
Speaker 1: is prepping for SEC media days. We all are. This
2:13
Speaker 1: is really the biggest deal out there. Next week, we're
2:16
Speaker 1: gonna hear from Brent Vinibles on Monday, so make sure
2:19
Speaker 1: y'all tune in. We'll be talking about it here on
2:21
Speaker 1: the channel. But c K, these are the people that
2:23
Speaker 1: made the joy, made it out there, Eddie Pierre Louis, Taylor,
2:27
Speaker 1: Taylor Wine as well as John Mattier. Now we knew
2:29
Speaker 1: my tier was going. Yeah, there was no question there.
2:33
Speaker 1: It seems that Brent Vinibles will always have his quarterback go.
2:36
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the CEO of the players. It makes
2:38
Speaker 1: sense that your quarterback would be there. I'm gonna be honest.
2:43
Speaker 1: Did a video earlier today on this, but I was
2:45
Speaker 1: pretty impressed that Taylor Wine and Eddie Pierre Louis got selected.
2:52
Speaker 1: What was your first reaction when you saw that?
2:54
Speaker 2: I wasn't surprised at all, to be honest with you.
2:57
Speaker 2: And look, this is my big thing about it. Eddie
3:02
Speaker 2: Pierre Louis is from Tampa, so.
3:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, got fair as I saw that connection too fair.
3:09
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you if you told me
3:11
Speaker 2: that Eddie Pierre Louis went into Brent's office or Mike
3:14
Speaker 2: Howke's office or Bill Beenbow's office and basically said, hey,
3:20
Speaker 2: you know, Media Days is back home for me, right,
3:23
Speaker 2: like it might be nice to see the family hang out.
3:26
Speaker 2: You know, all expenses paid trip to go see the
3:30
Speaker 2: Pier Louis crew. That was the first thing I thought of.
3:33
Speaker 2: It was like, that's cool. He gets to go home
3:34
Speaker 2: and hopefully get dinner with his family while he's out
3:37
Speaker 2: there in media day. But I think bigger picture, it's
3:41
Speaker 2: obviously a reflection as well of who Eddie Pierre Louis
3:44
Speaker 2: has become. I don't think it's necessarily any secret what
3:49
Speaker 2: he emerged as as not just a football player, but
3:52
Speaker 2: as a leader and as an energizer for this group
3:55
Speaker 2: during the twenty twenty five season. It meant a lot.
3:58
Speaker 2: I think it put him in in all the right spotlights,
4:02
Speaker 2: and he has earned quite the spotlight coming up at
4:05
Speaker 2: SEC media Days. So I really wasn't all that surprised
4:08
Speaker 2: about Eddie Pierre Louis being picked, especially because again, I mean,
4:13
Speaker 2: it's no secret. If you can get a guy from
4:15
Speaker 2: the area, it's probably a good thing to do. I
4:18
Speaker 2: would assume there will be some Tampa Airy area reporters
4:22
Speaker 2: who get to ask him some fun questions and that'll
4:24
Speaker 2: be cool for him. And then look, man, Taylor Wine's
4:28
Speaker 2: got too much Miguel Chavs and him to not go
4:30
Speaker 2: to media days, all right, Taylor Taylor Wine is a
4:34
Speaker 2: prepped and ready talker that is a future coach, so
4:37
Speaker 2: you may as well start prepping him for press conferences now.
4:41
Speaker 2: And he's a great quote. I mean, anytime we get
4:43
Speaker 2: to talk to him after games or out at practices,
4:46
Speaker 2: I think Taylor Wine is very insightful. I think he
4:49
Speaker 2: gets it and I think he understands how to kind
4:51
Speaker 2: of tote the line of like, don't show too much,
4:54
Speaker 2: but actually give people stuff worth looking into. And so
4:59
Speaker 2: I think it's three. I think they're great picks, and
5:02
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see what they say come SEC media days.
5:06
Speaker 1: The anticipation is all, of course, we know materis fine,
5:09
Speaker 1: he's done this before, so we're used to him. But
5:11
Speaker 1: the other two will definitely drop some nuggets to get
5:14
Speaker 1: everybody thinking or whatnot. And that was kind of my
5:17
Speaker 1: thought on in this conversation is what would the chatter
5:20
Speaker 1: be at media day? So of course Matir being there,
5:24
Speaker 1: they're gonna talk about the thumb. They're gonna ask him
5:27
Speaker 1: you don't want against the SEC defenses, how do you
5:29
Speaker 1: feel like, what have you done to improve yourself? Just
5:33
Speaker 1: look at your throwing motion. You look jacked at the
5:35
Speaker 1: manning passing academy, like your son, should we test you?
5:42
Speaker 1: There's so many questions that come in line with that.
5:45
Speaker 1: But Pierre Luis, I think the most intriguing thing about him,
5:49
Speaker 1: and what makes me feel like this is a Brent
5:53
Speaker 1: Venables practicing what he preached type scenario. Is if there's
5:59
Speaker 1: one thing we know BV is about, it ain't seniority.
6:03
Speaker 1: It's about the people that are putting in the work
6:05
Speaker 1: getting the opportunities placed in front of them. And in
6:08
Speaker 1: his case, what caught my attention is that all we've
6:14
Speaker 1: been hearing about is him stepping up as a leader,
6:16
Speaker 1: Like that's been the chatter in the off season even
6:19
Speaker 1: last year. Gay Biker mentioned it on Oklaoma Breakdown that
6:24
Speaker 1: you know he still wants EPL to get better at
6:27
Speaker 1: his technique, but his leadership has it's you know, people
6:31
Speaker 1: have talked about it and that's been spotlighted. This feels
6:35
Speaker 1: like one of those one or two things. And this
6:37
Speaker 1: is kind of where I was thinking with it. Not
6:38
Speaker 1: only the Tampa connection, which makes so much sense, logical,
6:41
Speaker 1: fantastic idea and him even advocating it would make more
6:45
Speaker 1: sense to it even more hilarious, but it feels like
6:48
Speaker 1: one of two things. One the players had to say
6:51
Speaker 1: in this and they say, yeah, let's send our boy
6:54
Speaker 1: home because he's not only going to represent us well,
6:58
Speaker 1: but he's earned it with the work that he's done.
7:02
Speaker 1: Or two BV looked at this as a scenario that
7:06
Speaker 1: he's been one of our hardest working guys. He should go.
7:09
Speaker 1: Because if it was offensive line, I'm not gonna lie.
7:12
Speaker 1: I would have probably thought I'd been Micha la or
7:13
Speaker 1: for Susie. But maybe they're hiding for Susie. I don't
7:16
Speaker 1: want to bite to see him. Yeah, you know what
7:21
Speaker 1: I mean, Like that's all I was thinking about with it,
7:23
Speaker 1: is like that was interesting.
7:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think look Eddie Pierre Louis. When I was
7:28
Speaker 2: out of the Shrine Bowl in Dallas, I was talking
7:32
Speaker 2: to Fabecci. We were one on one and I I
7:35
Speaker 2: asked every single Shrine Bowl guy for Oklahoma, Hey, who's
7:38
Speaker 2: next up at ou? Like, who deserves some recognition or
7:42
Speaker 2: some early hype for what they've kind of accomplished to
7:45
Speaker 2: this point. And Fabeci, I mean, the quote is in
7:48
Speaker 2: the story that I wrote, so I mean it's probably
7:51
Speaker 2: still out there somewhere in Google. Fabeci straight up said
7:53
Speaker 2: like there are a few people who work harder than
7:56
Speaker 2: Eddie Pierre Lui. Now, is he a perfect player right now? No,
8:00
Speaker 2: of course not. Is he as technically refined at all
8:04
Speaker 2: times as maybe you have to be as an offensive lineman.
8:07
Speaker 2: I mean, who is, to be honest with you, that
8:09
Speaker 2: plays that type of position. But he works his butt off,
8:13
Speaker 2: He's got a great energy about him. He is exactly
8:17
Speaker 2: the type of offensive lineman that you want to praise for,
8:22
Speaker 2: not just the way that he plays, the effort that
8:24
Speaker 2: he plays with, but also like the approach that he
8:27
Speaker 2: has on the offensive line. I was just thinking about
8:29
Speaker 2: this the other day too. There's probably an argument to
8:32
Speaker 2: make that he kind of embraced being the most violent
8:34
Speaker 2: or aggressive offensive lineman that you had. And you know,
8:39
Speaker 2: I know people talked a lot about last season maybe
8:42
Speaker 2: questioning the level of violence that they embrace on the
8:46
Speaker 2: front five. I don't know that I ever really agreed
8:48
Speaker 2: with that, to be honest with you, I thought that
8:50
Speaker 2: was a little bit much, But I don't think there
8:52
Speaker 2: was ever really questioning ed Eddie peerre luis mindset about
8:55
Speaker 2: all that stuff, right, So if you want to reward
8:58
Speaker 2: all that, the bottom line is like Brent's not not
9:02
Speaker 2: signing off on any of these guys, right, He's approving
9:04
Speaker 2: all three of these players. And again I don't think
9:08
Speaker 2: it's any secret. And everything that Eddie Pierre Lewis has
9:11
Speaker 2: brought to the table over the last calendar year and
9:14
Speaker 2: some change has made him very much the type of
9:17
Speaker 2: player that you would put in this this spot.
9:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's exactly the one that you would want to,
9:23
Speaker 1: like you said, to represent and talk through it. But
9:25
Speaker 1: like you said, BB, we'll bv signed off on it
9:28
Speaker 1: if but it did fit. It does feel like there
9:30
Speaker 1: was Like I said, it feels like he's really practicing
9:34
Speaker 1: what he's preaching. And you work your tail off, you're
9:36
Speaker 1: gonna get recognized, you're gonna get acknowledgment. And this, I
9:39
Speaker 1: mean it's a pretty high honor. Like he is gonna
9:41
Speaker 1: be front and center and at his size, he's really
9:46
Speaker 1: gonna be a front and center. People gonna be looking
9:47
Speaker 1: at him like, dang is big guy, Like who's this dude?
9:51
Speaker 1: And I can understand the fasusips being held back. You
9:53
Speaker 1: don't want to show off all your cards. You want
9:55
Speaker 1: to you want to make that I want to wait
9:57
Speaker 1: and see him, uh during the season I want you
9:59
Speaker 1: to afraid at that point, not y'all want you to
10:02
Speaker 1: size them up at media days. Taylor Wine, though, is
10:05
Speaker 1: the perfect example of the work your tail off, become
10:09
Speaker 1: a leader, and boom, you're gonna get that type of acknowledgement.
10:11
Speaker 1: Because I was thinking about this, I was looking, I
10:14
Speaker 1: forgot who. I think it was Parker Throne. Actually was
10:16
Speaker 1: Parker Throne over that Schoop put out an article about
10:19
Speaker 1: that class that Taylor Wine was in, and yeah, a
10:22
Speaker 1: look back and the fact that Vasic colden Vasic decommitted.
10:29
Speaker 1: Then Oklahoma found this guy. Yeah right, that was one
10:35
Speaker 1: of the you know, blessings out there, you know what
10:38
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like you didn't know that was gonna happen
10:40
Speaker 1: until it happened. Like, oh, you know what, it's actually
10:43
Speaker 1: a pretty good thing. Thank goodness that it kind of happened.
10:45
Speaker 1: I mean, no shade, but I kind of prefer to
10:47
Speaker 1: have Taylor Wine right now.
10:49
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think another layer of this is you're gonna
10:54
Speaker 2: have John Mattier there at the transfer quarterback, which, by
10:56
Speaker 2: the way, now that you mention it, I do think
10:59
Speaker 2: a fun side bet or side prop going in at
11:03
Speaker 2: SEC media Days. I'll set the over under at a
11:06
Speaker 2: half drug test in the bathroom at SEC media Days,
11:10
Speaker 2: because how hey man, there's no denying Jeohn Matteer. It's
11:15
Speaker 2: looking big and every clip that they're putting out of
11:17
Speaker 2: him is hitting the smelling salts and front squad and
11:20
Speaker 2: it's like, this dude's jacked, I mean huge.
11:25
Speaker 1: He feels like he's ready for the SEC this season.
11:29
Speaker 1: He is like like, no, I'm I'm ready to go.
11:34
Speaker 2: Hey man, He's gonna, if anything, he's gonna be toting
11:36
Speaker 2: the rock, you know what I mean. Get ready for
11:38
Speaker 2: some design quarterback runs to be very much part of
11:41
Speaker 2: this offense again moving forward as it should be, by
11:45
Speaker 2: the way, as it should be. But with Taylor Wine like,
11:48
Speaker 2: you know, you've got the transfer quarterback and Jumme Tier.
11:52
Speaker 2: I like the fact that Oklahoma's sending two guys that
11:56
Speaker 2: they recruited, that they they pursued and have retained and
12:00
Speaker 2: developed within the program, A pair of guys that maybe
12:05
Speaker 2: weren't like nationally renowned prospects when they were recruits, but
12:11
Speaker 2: are now very much part of the greater fabric of
12:15
Speaker 2: the SEC. And I mean when the SEC took media
12:19
Speaker 2: Days to Dallas, I as someone from Dallas. Talked to
12:25
Speaker 2: a lot of people that day about just how many
12:27
Speaker 2: people in the SEC, how many players were sent to
12:31
Speaker 2: that media days that year who were just from Dallas.
12:34
Speaker 2: I mean, every program I felt like sent a former
12:37
Speaker 2: recruit from the Dallas area to SEC Media Days that
12:40
Speaker 2: year in downtown Dallas. And so I like the fact
12:44
Speaker 2: that Oklahoma sending an Eddie Pierre Louis from Tampa. And again,
12:49
Speaker 2: I like the fact that they're sending guys like a
12:51
Speaker 2: Taylor Wine and Eddie who they recruited did not pull
12:54
Speaker 2: from the portal and they kind of bet on early
12:58
Speaker 2: as recruits and it's paying off because they are the
13:01
Speaker 2: types that you would send the SEC media days today.
13:03
Speaker 1: The other surprising thing, too, is that they he's sending
13:07
Speaker 1: two offensive guys and one defender. Kind of feels at
13:11
Speaker 1: a little different with bren vinibles of I would have
13:14
Speaker 1: anticipated another defender, maybe a Stone, a Kip Lewis, or
13:18
Speaker 1: even a Peyton Bowen to be to go with Taylor
13:23
Speaker 1: Wine out there, but he's actually sending two offensive players
13:27
Speaker 1: and a defender. And you know, to me, this really
13:30
Speaker 1: leads into the chatter of what we expect to hear
13:33
Speaker 1: at media days is that it feels like he's getting
13:36
Speaker 1: out in front of the questions that are about to happen,
13:38
Speaker 1: the questions that are about to come for this team.
13:41
Speaker 1: First and foremost, you know, we talked about the questions
13:44
Speaker 1: for John. The offensive line is gonna have questions. They're
13:48
Speaker 1: gonna ask about, how do you guys feel your chemistry?
13:51
Speaker 1: You had six starts, You returned five dudes with at
13:54
Speaker 1: least six starts, and you add Marian Harris, so you
13:56
Speaker 1: get yourself another veteran to go on the line, and
13:59
Speaker 1: of course you pour in some additional players or whatnot,
14:02
Speaker 1: But a lot of this line outside of Mike La
14:05
Speaker 1: and of course Harris, are younger recruited guys. Epl coming
14:09
Speaker 1: into his redshirt sophomore year, for Susie a true sophomore
14:13
Speaker 1: and Foget a true sophomore, and the other two are
14:16
Speaker 1: transfirst to one now seniors. That feels like that's gonna
14:20
Speaker 1: be the biggest question is because it you know, truthfully,
14:23
Speaker 1: we had that same question, what does this offensive line
14:25
Speaker 1: look like? And how does this run game produce? Yeah,
14:28
Speaker 1: and I think the bright person for this is Heck,
14:30
Speaker 1: you said it perfectly, e Pl. You know, he subscribes
14:34
Speaker 1: to the violent game. He subscribes to violence, then he
14:37
Speaker 1: hits that switch whenever he hits the field. Heck, he
14:39
Speaker 1: got what the unsportsm like Conda penalty his first time
14:42
Speaker 1: starting on the offensive line. You're like, Oh, yeah, he's
14:46
Speaker 1: gonna drive him into the ground. It feels like that
14:48
Speaker 1: is gonna be the main thing that's gonna be the
14:50
Speaker 1: main conversation when it comes to him is how they're
14:53
Speaker 1: gonna wor at least it's what it feels like to me.
14:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the two big questions that they're gonna
14:58
Speaker 2: face it and media days are about the offense of
15:00
Speaker 2: the run game. I mean, to a lesser extent, certainly
15:04
Speaker 2: offensive line discussion. But I also kind of think, at
15:08
Speaker 2: least talking to folks in the industry or whatever, I
15:11
Speaker 2: do think there are a lot of people out there
15:13
Speaker 2: who think there's a ton of promise regarding the Oklahoma
15:16
Speaker 2: offensive line. I think a lot of people get it
15:18
Speaker 2: in the fact that a lot of those younger guys
15:19
Speaker 2: played and kind of had to play. But through that,
15:23
Speaker 2: Eddie Pierre Lewis and Michael Fasusi formed a ton of
15:25
Speaker 2: chemistry on the left side of the line. Ryan Fojay
15:28
Speaker 2: took some lumps and is now massive and ready to
15:32
Speaker 2: go along the SEC offensive line. Heith o Zeida is
15:36
Speaker 2: going to play a role. He's pretty much going to
15:38
Speaker 2: be a factor again this year. Jake Michaela is very
15:41
Speaker 2: much the type of center that you would want leading
15:44
Speaker 2: the way along your offensive line. And to your point earlier,
15:47
Speaker 2: I kind of thought he was going to be somebody
15:49
Speaker 2: that they would send and Marion Harris. I mean a
15:53
Speaker 2: lot of people in the SEC know who that is, right,
15:56
Speaker 2: So I do think there will be offensive line discussions certainly,
15:59
Speaker 2: But the two big things going to talk about are
16:01
Speaker 2: the offense of the run game. Yea, Eddie's not Eddie's
16:06
Speaker 2: not going to shy away from that. And like you mentioned,
16:09
Speaker 2: he was the guy that kind of spearheaded the effort
16:12
Speaker 2: to be violent in the run game and in pass protection.
16:16
Speaker 2: And also, like Eddie is going to be the kind
16:18
Speaker 2: of guy that you would want going to bat for
16:21
Speaker 2: a John Mattier, And he is the kind of guy
16:25
Speaker 2: that you would want going to bat for Brent Vnnables
16:28
Speaker 2: or Ben Arbuckle, whoever, because he's been part of the program,
16:31
Speaker 2: right and he's seen kind of the evolution of this offense.
16:34
Speaker 2: You know, even dating back to what twenty twenty four
16:37
Speaker 2: look like and navigating that year, and so I think
16:42
Speaker 2: that those will be pretty much the two major talking points.
16:45
Speaker 2: John will be a close third. Everything about John Mattier
16:48
Speaker 2: will be a close third, and we could certainly discuss that.
16:51
Speaker 2: But yes, I think that regarding the two major talking
16:55
Speaker 2: points regarding Oklahoma football going into media days, I think
16:59
Speaker 2: Eddie Pierre luis already well equipped to handle both and
17:02
Speaker 2: do so effectively.
17:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, he feels like he's prepared. He's gonna be very
17:06
Speaker 1: much prepared for it. I mean, pr trained, no media train.
17:11
Speaker 1: I think that that's also the good thing about him.
17:13
Speaker 1: You're gonna get some good quotables out of him because
17:17
Speaker 1: like the violence, I'm really hoping too, Like I'm gonna
17:20
Speaker 1: be watching him, like please please say something good and
17:23
Speaker 1: fun and I can clip and talk about for the
17:25
Speaker 1: next two weeks, talk about how you're gonna take somebody's
17:28
Speaker 1: head off, point out a particular player's name for you know,
17:30
Speaker 1: the University of Texas. That would be awesome if you
17:33
Speaker 1: did that, to make it completely fun going into the
17:37
Speaker 1: off season. But then, of course it's the tailor wine piece.
17:39
Speaker 1: And I know that for him the chatter, it feels
17:41
Speaker 1: like to me, the chatter is going to be about
17:44
Speaker 1: losing our Mason Thomas. How does it feel stepping up
17:47
Speaker 1: and being the replacement when truthfully we've already seen it
17:51
Speaker 1: looks like we watched the Tennessee game, we watched the
17:54
Speaker 1: Alabama game. I think we got an idea what it
17:56
Speaker 1: looks like with our Mason gone.
17:58
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, granted, are Mason Thomas made one of the
18:01
Speaker 2: most ridiculous plays I've ever seen in my career covering
18:05
Speaker 2: college football. That stiff arm thirty something yards down the
18:09
Speaker 2: field and scoring with a pulled hamstring is not something
18:13
Speaker 2: to turn your nose up at. But yes, I think
18:16
Speaker 2: to a greater extent though, it's about losing our Mason Thomas,
18:21
Speaker 2: losing Dominic Williams, losing Grayson Holme, some of the I
18:28
Speaker 2: don't want to say unproven talent around him at defensive end,
18:33
Speaker 2: but I mean certainly being the top dog on the
18:37
Speaker 2: edge for Oklahoma and helping other guys along to meet
18:42
Speaker 2: his caliber of play. Because well, I mean, I think
18:45
Speaker 2: we all know Okoy is going to explode this season,
18:47
Speaker 2: but I mean Oklahoma's said it repeatedly. He's still got
18:50
Speaker 2: to go out and do that. He has said himself.
18:53
Speaker 2: He still has to go out and you receive the
18:57
Speaker 2: praise that's already been heaped his way. Pg ababar away.
19:02
Speaker 2: That's another one. Some of these other edge players. It's
19:06
Speaker 2: that group. And then I mean Taylor Wine and he look,
19:09
Speaker 2: he stepped up last year, but our Mason Thomas was
19:13
Speaker 2: still our Mason Thomas. And you had defensive tackles for
19:17
Speaker 2: deep who could certainly help you right next to you.
19:21
Speaker 2: And so I think Taylor Wine will probably be asked
19:24
Speaker 2: plenty about some losses along the defensive front, how that
19:27
Speaker 2: group's coming along with him, and then the two top
19:31
Speaker 2: dogs and Jane Jackson and David Stone. But I think
19:34
Speaker 2: the other thing too, I think Taylor Wine's going to
19:36
Speaker 2: be asked a lot about what's next for this team,
19:44
Speaker 2: you know, what has to be accomplished now, especially after
19:48
Speaker 2: kind of debunking a lot in accomplishing plenty during the
19:53
Speaker 2: twenty five campaign. Like, I think a lot of Taylor
19:56
Speaker 2: Wine's discussion will be about the direction of the program,
19:59
Speaker 2: the direction of this defense, trying to take the next step,
20:04
Speaker 2: what he thinks needs to improve, And honestly, I think
20:07
Speaker 2: he'll kind of face more of the foundational questions about
20:11
Speaker 2: the direction of Oklahoma football. And hey, man, he's got
20:14
Speaker 2: a little bit of brand Venables in him, he's got
20:16
Speaker 2: a little bit of Chavus at him. Who better to
20:19
Speaker 2: handle kind of the big picture discussions about Oklahoma.
20:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the guy that's perfect for that. And as
20:25
Speaker 1: you mentioned, looking at the depth, I can totally see
20:28
Speaker 1: them asking the questions of who's next in the interior.
20:33
Speaker 1: But I do know they're gonna ask him who's the
20:34
Speaker 1: next tailor Wine? Because when Mason Tom is like Meson
20:37
Speaker 1: Tom has mentioned you know they asked him last year,
20:40
Speaker 1: remember them asking him, Hey, who's a player to keep
20:42
Speaker 1: our eyes out forward to prepare for? He's like, oh,
20:44
Speaker 1: Taylor Wine, he gonna be a dude. M h just wait,
20:48
Speaker 1: you're gonna sing. So I'm listening to him talking about like, Okay,
20:50
Speaker 1: Taylor Wine. Huh h. Knew that guy was gonna be good.
20:54
Speaker 2: Let's see it.
20:54
Speaker 1: And then of course he has the season. So I'm guessing,
20:57
Speaker 1: because he's mentioned before in and in some other media
21:03
Speaker 1: availability during practice, that why Gilmore is the guy to
21:08
Speaker 1: keep eyes out for?
21:09
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
21:11
Speaker 1: Is this the coming out party for why Gilmore will
21:13
Speaker 1: we have another edge coming right behind him that just
21:18
Speaker 1: blows up. Yeah, the one is it a Koye which
21:22
Speaker 1: we've been hearing about a Koye for a bit. We
21:24
Speaker 1: just go a wait for him to just do it fully,
21:27
Speaker 1: Like we've seen some glimpses that Kent State game. He
21:31
Speaker 1: was everywhere, Temple, he was everywhere. But we need him
21:35
Speaker 1: to go ahead and show their freakish athleticism and just
21:37
Speaker 1: dominate a game. Yeah, similar to the way our Mason
21:41
Speaker 1: did against what was that Tulane and Auburn. We would
21:45
Speaker 1: like to get that out of a Koye also. But
21:48
Speaker 1: I know that gil War is gonna be a name
21:50
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear a lot about.
21:53
Speaker 2: I will. I will tell you this. If I could
21:55
Speaker 2: ask Taylor one three questions about just the defensive endroom,
21:59
Speaker 2: these would be the three I would ask Number one,
22:02
Speaker 2: what's going on with why Gilmore? I like, is he
22:04
Speaker 2: going to play a role? How much of a factor
22:06
Speaker 2: can he be? Has he earned that? What does it
22:09
Speaker 2: look like for him right now in his game? Things
22:11
Speaker 2: like that second question would be PJ. I mean, it's
22:18
Speaker 2: almost here, like the kind of it almost feels like
22:21
Speaker 2: a prove it season for him. Do you feel like
22:26
Speaker 2: he is equipped as ever to step into the spotlight
22:30
Speaker 2: that's been placed on him for a long time. And
22:33
Speaker 2: this is the last question that I would ask him.
22:34
Speaker 2: And I was talking about this with a friend of
22:36
Speaker 2: mine the other day. I talk about this on another
22:39
Speaker 2: podcast appearance I had, and now I really want to
22:42
Speaker 2: talk about it here with you all. Okay, with the
22:46
Speaker 2: passing of the five for five, what does Jake Crell
22:53
Speaker 2: look like as a situational pass rusher and as a
22:56
Speaker 2: freshman who now doesn't have to be redshirted because there's
22:59
Speaker 2: no point Can he be that? Can Jake Crell legitimately
23:03
Speaker 2: become a third down factor for this Oklahoma defense as
23:08
Speaker 2: someone who again is fairly advanced as a pass rusher
23:12
Speaker 2: for a freshman, and they need more bullpen arms if
23:16
Speaker 2: there's no point in red shirting anymore. I mean, Taylor
23:21
Speaker 2: Rowan was asked about Jake Crell in the spring and
23:23
Speaker 2: he was like, look, dude, he's got it. I mean,
23:26
Speaker 2: there's more to go, but he's got it now that
23:28
Speaker 2: we've gone through the summer and we're getting ready for
23:30
Speaker 2: the camp stuff and he's been around the program even
23:33
Speaker 2: longer and the five for five rulers out there. Seriously,
23:36
Speaker 2: I would love to know what Taylorwan thinks about whether
23:39
Speaker 2: or not Jake Croll can give Oklahoma another pass rush
23:42
Speaker 2: presence even as a freshman.
23:45
Speaker 1: He is the one freshman that I felt like they
23:49
Speaker 1: went all in for last August, specifically to put him
23:52
Speaker 1: on the field, like for him to play early and yeah,
23:58
Speaker 1: with the new five for five, you're right, why wouldn't
24:02
Speaker 1: you just toss him out there for some third down
24:05
Speaker 1: and let him go watching the propaganda machine come out
24:09
Speaker 1: with the videos of them lifting and working. He looks huge.
24:14
Speaker 1: He looks like he has been eating small wells full
24:21
Speaker 1: of protein.
24:23
Speaker 2: Is that illegal?
24:25
Speaker 1: It might be maybe, but the main.
24:29
Speaker 2: The record, none of this scratch, but it does.
24:33
Speaker 1: Look like, hey, he looks like he's been he's been feasting. Yeah,
24:37
Speaker 1: he's ready to go out there and take somebody's head off.
24:39
Speaker 1: So in that case, I see exactly what you mean
24:43
Speaker 1: with the five for five, Yes, why would you not
24:46
Speaker 1: play him? Like I'm wondering where CJ. Nixon is gonna be.
24:50
Speaker 1: He's gotten huge, He's he's pretty big. I remember see
24:53
Speaker 1: him at spring game. I was like, dang man, Yeah,
24:55
Speaker 1: Dick that age. I'm wondering between him J Crell, CJ.
25:07
Speaker 1: Nixon and Matthew Nelson Nelly when I saw him lifting,
25:12
Speaker 1: because I forgot that he's six' five and he's like two. Forty,
25:16
Speaker 1: legitimately Like, crell which one of them is gonna be
25:20
Speaker 1: the one that's gonna force their way on the field
25:21
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be that. Good because then you've said
25:24
Speaker 1: we've Got gilmour who supposedly is making waves to GOT.
25:28
Speaker 1: Pg it feels like if the question about depth on this,
25:35
Speaker 1: team you don't have as much on the edge as
25:39
Speaker 1: you do the. Interior, Yeah AND i think interior, wise
25:43
Speaker 1: it's more of A i, Mean coop talked about this On.
25:46
Speaker 1: Sunday the thing with the interior thing is it's really
25:52
Speaker 1: just because they're super. Young outside Of, nigel everybody behind
25:57
Speaker 1: him is. Young trent Red shird. Freshman then you Go Brian,
26:01
Speaker 1: Harris Tank, Carrington Kenyo, Zawalu, like you've got a lot
26:06
Speaker 1: of Young the only person that's old is the old.
26:08
Speaker 1: Man they talked about His, bishop but he's a transfer
26:12
Speaker 1: and he's a new into the. System the interior is
26:15
Speaker 1: young Behind, Stone Jay jackson And Nigel. Smith that is
26:19
Speaker 1: honestly probably where that the question For Taylor wink will
26:23
Speaker 1: probably come is what are those players look? Like and
26:25
Speaker 1: who's going to be one to watch there outside of
26:28
Speaker 1: your you, Know stone And Jay.
26:30
Speaker 2: JACKSON i Think Kenny ozawalla is someone THAT i would
26:33
Speaker 2: certainly bring up To Taylor, wane, like hey, man is
26:36
Speaker 2: he playing defensive end or defensive? Tackle if he is
26:39
Speaker 2: kicking inside the three tech on pass rush? Downs how
26:43
Speaker 2: has he looked kind of occupying these various. Roles Obviously
26:47
Speaker 2: Taylor wan's going to get asked about The trence and
26:50
Speaker 2: Then nigels and whoever they you, know whoever. Else, YEAH
26:55
Speaker 2: i do think, too like it's worth, asking hey, man
26:59
Speaker 2: what what's going on WITH. Cj? Nixon this is another
27:02
Speaker 2: THING i thought about the other day. Too they put
27:05
Speaker 2: out that video with all the edge, rushers And i'm, like,
27:08
Speaker 2: Man Daniel. NORMAN i, Mean i'm not here sitting here
27:12
Speaker 2: saying like he's gonna do anything in year, one BUT
27:15
Speaker 2: i Mean Daniel norman in the. VIDEO i was, like
27:18
Speaker 2: SOMETIMES i forget about that. Dude and that guy's From
27:20
Speaker 2: Saint Thomas aquanas In, florida and, yeah can't get after the,
27:24
Speaker 2: Quarterback so, like where has he been now being part
27:28
Speaker 2: of the program in the. SUMMER i would like to
27:31
Speaker 2: know something About Daniel. Norman the list goes on as
27:34
Speaker 2: far as these defensive, linemen and, look it's been a
27:36
Speaker 2: talking point for however, long, right So i'm NOT i,
27:41
Speaker 2: mean but there are, still it feels, like several questions
27:43
Speaker 2: that can be asked about this defensive, front WHICH i
27:47
Speaker 2: think is a good. Thing BUT i would like to
27:49
Speaker 2: Know Taylor wane's responses about some of these guys who
27:52
Speaker 2: kind of have to meet his level of play going
27:54
Speaker 2: into this, season because, like and this is the one
27:56
Speaker 2: THING i want to really hammer, HOME i think there's
28:02
Speaker 2: an unfair expectation level going into the season That OU's
28:05
Speaker 2: defensive line is going to be as dominant as it
28:07
Speaker 2: was last. Year and it's, like they're still gonna be.
28:10
Speaker 2: Good but these questions are here for a. Reason and
28:13
Speaker 2: then you should still keep in mind the context of, like,
28:16
Speaker 2: no that defensive line was getting looked at By Brent,
28:19
Speaker 2: vennables And brent was saying to, them if you don't
28:21
Speaker 2: play to a certain level that group, alone we do
28:25
Speaker 2: not win these. Games that group from last season legitimately
28:29
Speaker 2: won THEM sec football. Games that is not like. HYPERBOLE
28:33
Speaker 2: i don't know that it is like the easiest thing
28:36
Speaker 2: to do to expect that from this, group BUT i
28:38
Speaker 2: would like to know what fair expectations are with some
28:41
Speaker 2: of these, names especially coming out of the. Summer and
28:42
Speaker 2: that's that's WHERE i Want Taylor wine to kind of
28:45
Speaker 2: paint the picture.
28:46
Speaker 1: In, media because they are gonna be those. Questions as
28:50
Speaker 1: you mentioned, perfectly that is where everybody's, Wondering, hey y'all
28:56
Speaker 1: were dominant on the defensive. Line is it even possible?
29:00
Speaker 1: Now the thing that helped in the dominance is the
29:02
Speaker 1: fact that you Had David stone coming off the bench
29:05
Speaker 1: and rotating, in but now he's front and. Center, asked you,
29:10
Speaker 1: KNOW i Got drew's asking the question in here in
29:12
Speaker 1: the Comments, nigel you, know is he ready to be
29:17
Speaker 1: to step? Up? Now i've seen his face in a
29:20
Speaker 1: lot of the propaganda videos which makes me feel, like.
29:25
Speaker 1: Breakout this is the the year he's at two Ninety
29:29
Speaker 1: can he be a taller g?
29:32
Speaker 2: Baby and it's tough to.
29:35
Speaker 1: Ask it's a Tough it's a tough one to ask
29:38
Speaker 1: because they were just so productive getting. STILL i think
29:43
Speaker 1: the thing that's gonna help them even more is that
29:46
Speaker 1: the secondary to, me might be the best in THE.
29:52
Speaker 1: Sec they have an argument for it in. Talent every
30:00
Speaker 1: everybody Are oklahoma. Recruits AND i think that that is
30:06
Speaker 1: the one Thing i've talked about on other shows That
30:09
Speaker 1: i've been on as, well is the most impressive thing
30:13
Speaker 1: about What brinvinibles has done is that when you look
30:17
Speaker 1: at that, roster you have no transfers on the starting
30:21
Speaker 1: lineup on the defensive side of the, ball all guys
30:25
Speaker 1: that are, recruits and you got a couple of transfer
30:27
Speaker 1: sprinkled here and there to go that whole secondary as
30:31
Speaker 1: good as it was last season All oklahoma. Dukes, yeah
30:35
Speaker 1: and that was probably the biggest challenge That javili had coming,
30:37
Speaker 1: in is that they were portling guys in on a
30:40
Speaker 1: regular because they were trying to quote unquote rebuilt that.
30:42
Speaker 1: Room it felt, like, yeah except for the, safeties you
30:46
Speaker 1: had our you, know you had your safeties And billy
30:48
Speaker 1: And peyton and then you KNOW rsj And. Boganowski you had.
30:52
Speaker 1: That but you could see that they were, like we
30:55
Speaker 1: really want this secondary to be ours in order for
30:59
Speaker 1: it to work operly in the, scheme and they. Shined
31:03
Speaker 1: now they've got the biggest challenge because they're gonna see
31:06
Speaker 1: what's that five returning quarterbacks starting returning starting quarterbacks.
31:11
Speaker 2: This season something like.
31:12
Speaker 1: That, yeah it's GONNA i MEAN sec play.
31:16
Speaker 2: BECAUSE i was saying, SO i, mean right off the
31:18
Speaker 2: top of my, head you Got underwood At, Michigan Arch kentucky's, gonna, Yes,
31:25
Speaker 2: Stockton kentucky's gonna have a new. Guy florida's gonna have
31:28
Speaker 2: a new. Guy you'll Have marcel reed To TEXAS a
31:30
Speaker 2: and m mm Hmm SELLERS missoo will have a new.
31:36
Speaker 2: Guy but they're gonna be. Good simmons IS i Hope
31:39
Speaker 2: simmons is. GOOD i like him a.
31:41
Speaker 1: Lot he jumped two grades to get. There it's still
31:46
Speaker 1: so impressive to. Me Trinidad. Chambliss.
31:49
Speaker 2: Yeah and, then by the, way it's, like arguably the
31:52
Speaker 2: best quarterback in college football is coming back on your guy's.
31:55
Speaker 1: Six SO i was off by. One, well, well sec,
31:58
Speaker 1: play you got five And, brightner what makes it?
32:00
Speaker 2: Six we won't we won't do the other non. CONS i,
32:04
Speaker 2: MEAN i you, KNOW i looked.
32:06
Speaker 1: At him AND i hang, in, yeah we're not gonna do.
32:08
Speaker 2: That but, YEAH i think the gist of the message is.
32:10
Speaker 1: There, Right, Yeah, yeah the six five in conference plays
32:14
Speaker 1: six total that IN p four play will be returning
32:20
Speaker 1: starters now.
32:22
Speaker 2: And this would be my other quick thing by the,
32:24
Speaker 2: way before you, Continue it's like With, Trinidad, Arch Marcel
32:27
Speaker 2: read And Gunner, stockton how many of those guys are
32:31
Speaker 2: in the top five of the league at quarterback Because
32:36
Speaker 2: trinidad's probably one.
32:38
Speaker 1: He Should, yeah he has an argument with saying And
32:41
Speaker 1: Dante moore And arch being the best one coming, Back, yeah.
32:46
Speaker 1: Easily but but but the other thing that that the
32:49
Speaker 1: flip side of that IS i think that what makes
32:51
Speaker 1: this even more interesting for, us and we're gonna jump
32:55
Speaker 1: into this and then some recruiting is the the coaching
33:02
Speaker 1: changes that a lot of the quarterbacks we face are dealing.
33:05
Speaker 1: With chambliss new. Oc, now he was At Eastern carolina
33:10
Speaker 1: and they were a top twenty offense in the. Country
33:14
Speaker 1: so he had you know that old ced did well
33:18
Speaker 1: At East carolina kind of Like lincoln did you? Know,
33:22
Speaker 1: yeah uh and HIS ecu days coming over and the
33:26
Speaker 1: doing great in The big. Twelve he's getting that guy
33:30
Speaker 1: who's gonna be and he was actually An Ole miss.
33:33
Speaker 1: Assistant yeah, right he's familiar with with at least the
33:39
Speaker 1: system That Lane. Ran he wasn't there With, trinidad but
33:43
Speaker 1: he was there the year Before trinidad got, there so
33:45
Speaker 1: he knows. Him Charlie White, junior all, that et, Cetera
33:48
Speaker 1: Lenora sellers in The Brown's he's got a NEW oc
33:51
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a whole new. System i'm wondering how
33:53
Speaker 1: that's gonna work for. Him it's gonna be a very intriguing.
33:55
Speaker 1: Setup Marcel reid NEW, oc that first time player, too
34:01
Speaker 1: that one terrifies me for. Him like, now granted we
34:04
Speaker 1: see him week what, twelve so that may be the
34:08
Speaker 1: saving grace for him is that by then something's figured
34:10
Speaker 1: out or we learned That now y'all. Stink he's got
34:14
Speaker 1: a NEW. Oc and lastly on that, One Bryce, underwood
34:22
Speaker 1: he's got a NEW. Oc he's got to warn a
34:23
Speaker 1: whole new system now as a true. Sophomore sucks for
34:26
Speaker 1: him as his week two that he's got to figure
34:28
Speaker 1: out this. Out but, well and.
34:33
Speaker 2: So, Okay kentucky will be new but Will stein as Will,
34:39
Speaker 2: stein and but he's Got Kenny minshe is going to
34:43
Speaker 2: be the. Quarterback and so they. Should they could be
34:47
Speaker 2: a really good.
34:47
Speaker 1: Offense Good they returned a lot of defenders, too which
34:51
Speaker 1: is good for them as. Well they did a really
34:54
Speaker 1: good job of retention and their defense was ACTUALLY i
34:56

35:56
Speaker 2: What Aaron philo. Is, no BUT i know he Knows
36:00
Speaker 2: faulkner's elite offensive system and they're playing it in the.

36:10

36:13
Speaker 2: there is the subtle, like, hey these pictures still have
36:17

39:23
Speaker 2: LIKE i don't want to come off the wrong, way
39:25
Speaker 2: but incredibly humbled to have this type of. Opportunity and
39:32
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be possible without you sitting at home watching these,
39:38
Speaker 2: shows reading my, work keeping up with my. Career you,
39:42
Speaker 2: know my second stint on The Oklahoma. BEAT i was
39:46
Speaker 2: telling somebody earlier, today, like you, know my return to
39:51
Speaker 2: The Oklahoma beat was not necessarily expected on my, end
39:56
Speaker 2: AND i was pretty nervous about, it and it we
39:59
Speaker 2: my wife AND i we left pretty much everything we
40:01
Speaker 2: had built up In, Nashville tennessee at THE Cbs Sports
40:06
Speaker 2: digital offices to come back and do this and be
40:09
Speaker 2: a part of The Oklahoma beat. Again and the support
40:12
Speaker 2: THAT ou fans showed us along the way was incredibly.
40:16
Speaker 2: Meaningful you, know my mom is a DIEHARD ou, fan
40:20
Speaker 2: so she reads every bit of. It she sees every,
40:22
Speaker 2: comment and she says every she sees every mean word
40:26
Speaker 2: direct in my way If i'm saying something that people don't.
40:28
Speaker 2: Like but you, know my family and friends and myself,
40:35
Speaker 2: certainly just seeing the amount of support That oklahoma fans
40:38
Speaker 2: provided was it meant the world to. Me And i'm
40:42
Speaker 2: excited THAT i can still be a part of this
40:44
Speaker 2: community in this new, role and without going too much
40:48
Speaker 2: further into my, THING i think the other big thing
40:50
Speaker 2: too THAT i would want to say is like me
40:54
Speaker 2: moving into this. Role big reason why it was Because
40:57
Speaker 2: Brody lusk is going to be the next big thing
41:00
Speaker 2: in The oklahoma market if he isn't. ALREADY i think
41:05
Speaker 2: the guy's a. STAR i think he's gonna be much
41:08
Speaker 2: better than, me and me making this move LIKE i
41:12
Speaker 2: didn't want to quote unquote leave even Though i'm not
41:15
Speaker 2: really going. ANYWHERE i didn't want to leave leave UNTIL
41:20
Speaker 2: i knew that the right person was in place to
41:23
Speaker 2: Give oklahoma fans what they. Deserve and And brody he
41:28
Speaker 2: is going to be. Elite he already, is AND i
41:31
Speaker 2: still get to be around and help him and add
41:34
Speaker 2: to the covers that he. Provides and so you certainly
41:39
Speaker 2: Have Josh callow And Tom, green two of the best
41:41
Speaker 2: and you, know pros. Pros but, this this move on my,
41:45
Speaker 2: end did allow us to Get Brody lusk his first
41:49
Speaker 2: full time opportunity in the. Industry AND i mean the
41:53
Speaker 2: kids still in college and he already deserves. It SO
41:57
Speaker 2: i couldn't be more excited about how the stars alone
42:00
Speaker 2: and really excited for this next, chapter but very glad
42:04
Speaker 2: certainly THAT i still get to be around the people
42:06
Speaker 2: who kind of made all this.
42:07
Speaker 1: Possible, Absolutely AND i had to give you a. Moment
42:11
Speaker 1: we had to talk about that because you also did
42:14
Speaker 1: a re commitment reaffirmation read something with our guy kelled
42:19
Speaker 1: you being running, Back.
42:20
Speaker 2: Yeah in the.
42:22
Speaker 1: Country how'd that go? DOWN i, KNOW i know HE
42:28
Speaker 1: i know he's Big. Oklahoma AND i kind of tell
42:31
Speaker 1: to you a few people by they were. ASKING i
42:32
Speaker 1: did a video right, afterwards AND i kind of let them,
42:34
Speaker 1: know like a couple of. Things, one he Loves colin Period, Montgomery,
42:37
Speaker 1: TEXAS i Uncovers. Texas collin's beloved by a lot of.
42:40
Speaker 1: Recruits i've learned that. Is i've talked to some and it's,
42:42
Speaker 1: like hey, man you gotta talk about Got colin if
42:44
Speaker 1: you want to hear something like, wait WHAT i, MEAN
42:46
Speaker 1: i Know? Colin you Know? Colin do you really Know?
42:48
Speaker 1: Colin and THEN i like show him your phone number
42:50
Speaker 1: on my. Phone oh, okay NOW i trust. You AND
42:53
Speaker 1: i was, like all, right, great, Perfect collin's. Beloved but
42:59
Speaker 1: WHAT i wanted people to understand was he got an
43:02
Speaker 1: Offer november twenty, Fifth, yeah he showed up to THE
43:07
Speaker 1: lsu game right. AFTERWARDS i was, like, oh that's pretty.
43:11
Speaker 1: Fast he's, like, NO i want to. Go y'all found me.
43:14
Speaker 1: Early i'm trying to hit a. Game next morning he.
43:16
Speaker 1: COMMITS i was, like, OKAY i didn't. REALIZE i remember
43:22
Speaker 1: it happening, quickly BUT i didn't realize the. TIMELINE i
43:25
Speaker 1: think that's more so we were so high off of BEATING,
43:27
Speaker 1: lsu going to the, playoffs knowing we were basically in
43:30
Speaker 1: because of that, win being tended to and having the
43:34
Speaker 1: games that we, won you, know that wasn't the focal,
43:37
Speaker 1: point and so, yeah like, dang that was really. Fast
43:41
Speaker 1: and Then DeMarco murray. Bounces he decides to reopen things
43:45
Speaker 1: due a couple of visits here, there take some phone,
43:48
Speaker 1: calls Decided oklahomas where he wanted to. Stay, why what
43:53
Speaker 1: was what was the? Reasoning do you, feel you, know
43:58
Speaker 1: really drove him to say that he definitely wants to
44:01
Speaker 1: come back To.
44:01
Speaker 2: Oklahoma, YEAH i, MAN I i like to think, that you,
44:09
Speaker 2: KNOW i am somebody who at the end of the,
44:11
Speaker 2: day like when people talk about being four people and
44:14
Speaker 2: being for these young men and trying to be a
44:17
Speaker 2: resource and a help for these recruits in these. Families
44:21
Speaker 2: LIKE i do think THAT i live up to that.
44:25
Speaker 2: BILL i take a lot of pride in, That BUT
44:26
Speaker 2: i still learned a lot that. Day there are a
44:32
Speaker 2: couple of things THAT i really wanted to kind of get, Across,
44:36
Speaker 2: like no matter how you felt or HOW i, felt
44:40
Speaker 2: BECAUSE i certainly had my initial questions going in whenever
44:43
Speaker 2: this popped up on my. Radar, yeah, man no matter
44:48
Speaker 2: how any of that us, felt that ceremony was gonna
44:51
Speaker 2: happen one way or. Another so, imagine if you, will
44:54
Speaker 2: word gets out out of the, blue the Keldri ben
44:57
Speaker 2: is hosting a ceremony In montgomery's auditorium with on the,
45:00
Speaker 2: table and it's, like we're all covering that thing. Regardless
45:06
Speaker 2: so that auditorium had already been, booked the hats had
45:08
Speaker 2: already been, Bought so that was gonna. Happen the other
45:13
Speaker 2: thing that people don't know about is THAT i was,
45:18
Speaker 2: told AND i learned that day that this information was
45:22
Speaker 2: just not out, there and that kind of sparked some unfair.
45:25
Speaker 2: Outrage Keldrid ben was on the verge of considering a
45:29
Speaker 2: flip To oregon like that was. Happening in, Fact before
45:35
Speaker 2: this all kind of came. Together there were some meetings
45:38
Speaker 2: and some serious discussions about how seriously should we contemplate
45:43
Speaker 2: the path To, oregon and keep in mind like he
45:45
Speaker 2: did not make his official visit To. Oregon, yeah but
45:49
Speaker 2: The ducks, STILL i, mean were pressing down the stretch
45:52
Speaker 2: from WHAT i had been told by someone who would
45:55
Speaker 2: be in the no within that. Camp and Obviously floor
46:00
Speaker 2: is in the mix there as. WELL i don't know
46:02
Speaker 2: where The gators exactly. STOOD i think they were certainly
46:04
Speaker 2: in the, mix because he did make it a gains
46:07
Speaker 2: will IF i remember, Correctly.
46:09
Speaker 1: Florida was the only. ONE i think he actually may
46:12
Speaker 1: The Notre dame one guy, canceled he didn't go To,
46:14
Speaker 1: oregon but The florida wh make the.
46:16
Speaker 2: Trip and by the, way Like tim of The Capitol
46:18
Speaker 2: oregon staff for making it this interesting and being that
46:23
Speaker 2: dedicated to the pursuit of this, player to make it That,
46:28
Speaker 2: harry even without getting the ov, yeah, man like leading
46:33
Speaker 2: up to, this there was an element of, hey like,
46:36
Speaker 2: that there is a decision to be made. Here so
46:40
Speaker 2: that's kind of the important backdrop that was gonna. Happen
46:44
Speaker 2: there was stuff happening behind the, scenes BUT i think
46:48
Speaker 2: it's also one of those things where it's, Like, dude
46:51
Speaker 2: this is a young man who will never have this
46:53
Speaker 2: opportunity in this process, again and he didn't really necessarily
46:57
Speaker 2: get maybe the moment that he, does despite providing the
47:02
Speaker 2: moment that so many others got excited, about you, KNOW i,
47:06
Speaker 2: mean this kid is is Again Adam Montgomery. High montgomery's
47:10
Speaker 2: a really good. Program they've sent their fair share of
47:13
Speaker 2: talent to the collegiate, level but it's not known as
47:16
Speaker 2: like A Duncan villa or a North shore like one
47:19
Speaker 2: of the Lone star state's prospect. Factories so in a,
47:22
Speaker 2: way he's kind of one of their best recruits in recent.
47:25
Speaker 2: Memory but at the time you know that he Committed.
47:30
Speaker 2: OKLAHOMA i mean, again it's important to think, back like
47:33
Speaker 2: he had three, offers three and it was, McNeice, utsa
47:39
Speaker 2: and Then. Oklahoma and he had gotten The oklahoma off
47:42
Speaker 2: for a matter of days before he goes up To,
47:43
Speaker 2: norman gets the invite for THE lsu game and on
47:47
Speaker 2: that trip and like the early faith That oklahoma placed in,
47:50
Speaker 2: him he committed out of the, BLUE i, mean out
47:53
Speaker 2: of nowhere, man and, like, man something THAT i really
47:58
Speaker 2: thought about that day, too was like he com and
48:00
Speaker 2: there were a lot of people the day of his you,
48:03
Speaker 2: know celebration of. Loyalty that's what he. Wanted there are
48:07
Speaker 2: probably a lot of people who had something to say
48:09
Speaker 2: that day who are also, saying like who Is Keldred? Bett,
48:12
Speaker 2: yeah you, know and that kind of sucks to think,
48:16
Speaker 2: about but it's also, like, YEAH i get, IT i
48:19
Speaker 2: get why he wanted to do, this and you fast
48:22
Speaker 2: forward to today and it's, like he's one of the
48:24
Speaker 2: most decorated recruits At, montgomery didn't have his, moment and
48:29
Speaker 2: he had been pursued by so many, prospects and like
48:33
Speaker 2: his family and the community didn't get to celebrate, him
48:38
Speaker 2: and there was. Movement it all kind of came. Together,
48:42
Speaker 2: honestly in my, OPINION i think it was a really cool.
48:45
Speaker 2: Deal And keldred wanted to get across To oklahoma and
48:51
Speaker 2: to the fan base, like hey, MAN i know people
48:53
Speaker 2: are coming after, me And i'm gonna be honest with.
48:55
Speaker 2: You he knew that there was going to be more
48:57
Speaker 2: noise about his name in the. Headlines he knew there
49:00
Speaker 2: was going to be further discussions out there in the
49:03
Speaker 2: public eye about him getting recruited by other, schools so
49:07
Speaker 2: he kind of want to put out there like, Hey
49:08
Speaker 2: i'm not going anywhere from my words to your, ears
49:11
Speaker 2: Like i'm sticking With oklahoma and celebrate. Loyalty but even
49:15
Speaker 2: on that, day, man like WHEN i going back to
49:17
Speaker 2: the start of, THIS i learned a lot that day
49:18
Speaker 2: because like everything we navigated it AND i. Understood but even,
49:22
Speaker 2: THEN i, mean we're sitting there getting ready to go,
49:24
Speaker 2: live AND i remember this for a While i'm getting,
49:30
Speaker 2: Ready i'm still going over my final notes Because i'm,
49:33
Speaker 2: like all, RIGHT i got to convey to the people
49:34
Speaker 2: that are going to be negative why this young man
49:39
Speaker 2: wants to do this and why is. Justified And i'm
49:42
Speaker 2: going over And i'm looking down AND i hear someone
49:44
Speaker 2: my ear piece go something something social, media AND i looked.
49:48
Speaker 2: UP i don't know who for sure said. IT i
49:50
Speaker 2: think it Was, kildred but someone up there said something
49:55
Speaker 2: about the way social media was reacting that, day even
49:58
Speaker 2: though he obviously wanted to like kind of celebrate loyalty and.
50:01
Speaker 2: Stuff and Someone i'm not gonna say, who someone in
50:04
Speaker 2: Keldre ben's camp just immediately confidently strong but like not
50:08
Speaker 2: over the, top just GOES i don't give a damn
50:11
Speaker 2: about social. MEDIA i don't. Care and they said you
50:15
Speaker 2: could do everything right and social media would still find
50:18
Speaker 2: a way to point out something. Wrong it's, like, yeah,
50:21
Speaker 2: man you, know this is your, moment this is your,
50:24
Speaker 2: time this is your, process and you had a lot
50:26
Speaker 2: go on before you could really celebrate. It if you
50:29
Speaker 2: gave everybody else something to, celebrate you might as well
50:32
Speaker 2: get the chance to do so. Too And i'm glad
50:34
Speaker 2: he got to do that with his family and friends
50:36
Speaker 2: and everybody out there who chose to celebrate that. Day.
50:39
Speaker 1: No, five one hundred percent agree with you. There and
50:41
Speaker 1: this is what's, interesting as you said that about the
50:43
Speaker 1: offer sheets that he, Had, yeah it's pretty. Limited and
50:49
Speaker 1: it was like the wolves saw smelt the red, smelt
50:53
Speaker 1: the blood smelt the red. Meat as soon As DeMarco murray,
50:58
Speaker 1: left because that's when Your Oregonford, Kinge texas, Followed, Florida, STATE,
51:03
Speaker 1: Usc Notre, Dame, wisconsin and Like Notre dame offered right
51:08
Speaker 1: After dlan McCullough gets, Hired wisconson dump seeing right after,
51:12
Speaker 1: that and Then florida's late In, march and you're, like oh,
51:16
Speaker 1: man a lot of people saw they're, like, oh we're
51:19
Speaker 1: gonna attack. That we want. To we want to see
51:24
Speaker 1: if we can sway him away From oklahoma because that's
51:26
Speaker 1: when you start to see him move up the. Charts
51:29
Speaker 1: it's funny people always make the joke that as soon
51:32
Speaker 1: as a kid commits To, oklahoma they dropping the. Rankings
51:35
Speaker 1: keldrick's an example of how we fly up the rankings,
51:38
Speaker 1: too because he went from like three hundred and something
51:42
Speaker 1: to one, hundred like one hundred and five after the.
51:46
Speaker 1: Commitment he flew up the rankings and the big benefit
51:51
Speaker 1: For oklahoma and That's i'm happy that he got that.
51:55
Speaker 1: Done i'm happy that he was able to do the
52:00
Speaker 1: do his ceremony and do the the loyalty BECAUSE i,
52:04
Speaker 1: mean he pointed that. Out he talked about we didn't
52:06
Speaker 1: switch up on, him even when we got a new,
52:08
Speaker 1: COACH i don't want to switch up on. Him it
52:10
Speaker 1: made sense to go at, least look just that was a.
52:13
Speaker 2: Bar by the, way that was a. Bar, really it
52:16
Speaker 2: really was on the.
52:18
Speaker 1: Air you can kind of go, like, YEAH i saw your.
52:22
Speaker 1: FACE i was like, HEY.
52:22
Speaker 2: I was like the same.
52:23
Speaker 1: WAY i was, like it's a. Bar i'll take, it but, No,
52:27
Speaker 1: Yeah and it kind of, like you, know okay, trays
52:30
Speaker 1: if you ain't got, haters you ain't doing. Much that
52:33
Speaker 1: is very much true with him and WHY i was
52:36
Speaker 1: excited that he decided to stick. AROUND i mean that
52:39
Speaker 1: him And, DIXON i feel like the running back room
52:43
Speaker 1: is going to be in good hands going.
52:45
Speaker 2: Forward by the, way that that, thing some people were,
52:48
Speaker 2: like this kind of feels. Pointless that thing is, like
52:51
Speaker 2: that's six point three thousand views and. Counting oh and
52:56
Speaker 2: that thing wasn't for. Nothing that wasn't for.
52:58
Speaker 1: Nothing, man people were very much interested in. That so
53:01
Speaker 1: you add him With Jakobe. Dixon i'm actually curious. Though
53:04
Speaker 1: Now oklahoma sitting at twenty seven. Recruits at some point
53:10
Speaker 1: they could potentially finish with between two and five five
53:15
Speaker 1: stars depending on how things finish out for. Them oklahoma's
53:19
Speaker 1: on a pretty good. Run do you See oklahoma grabbing
53:23
Speaker 1: more players at twenty? SEVEN i was thinking they're gonna
53:25
Speaker 1: try to go for. Thirty does it feel like thirty
53:28
Speaker 1: is the number they going to push?
53:29
Speaker 2: For? Maybe by the, way if if you're, watching if
53:34
Speaker 2: you have a question about twenty twenty seven OR i,
53:37
Speaker 2: know twenty twenty. Eight for a lot of, people everyone's
53:39
Speaker 2: kind of turning the page of twenty twenty. Eight, yeah
53:42
Speaker 2: if anybody wants to hop in the chat with some
53:44
Speaker 2: questions about anything, recruiting feel free to do. So i'll
53:48
Speaker 2: try to.
53:48
Speaker 1: National guy and take advantage of.
53:50
Speaker 2: It, yeah you're not lying the legend right, here you. Know, So,
53:55
Speaker 2: Yeah i'll answer any, questions but to, yours, like we'll,
53:59
Speaker 2: SEE i think now the way that things have, broken
54:04
Speaker 2: by the, way since we last were here on the.
54:07
Speaker 2: Show how About Jayden, fields my guy ended up In oklahoma's.
54:10
Speaker 2: Class i'm just, saying there are a lot of people
54:13
Speaker 2: that are, like why was calling reporting on This Jayden fields?
54:16
Speaker 2: Thing he's just gonna go to smu heck of a
54:21
Speaker 2: get For. Oklahoma so to see that, workout that's a nice.
54:26
Speaker 2: Get AND i think with that being one of the
54:29
Speaker 2: more recent, editions you've checked off a lot of the
54:34
Speaker 2: boxes that you. HAD i kind of think that the
54:36
Speaker 2: to do list is pretty much. Set Sooner cowboys seven
54:41
Speaker 2: oh six says running back tight end in wide receiver
54:44
Speaker 2: rooms will stay healthy and all. Developed, YEAH i think
54:48
Speaker 2: that that's honestly playing a role here in this recruiting.
54:54
Speaker 2: Cycle you still have a lot of young bodies in the,
54:57
Speaker 2: Roster so that to me would indicate THAT i don't
55:01
Speaker 2: Think oklahoma really has to go out and do a
55:03
Speaker 2: whole bunch more in twenty. Seven, NOW i will, say
55:11
Speaker 2: speaking Of Brodie lusk, earlier he did drop a note
55:14
Speaker 2: about a potential flip target or two in twenty twenty,
55:18
Speaker 2: seven BUT i won't be the guy to reveal his.
55:20
Speaker 2: INTEL i, think you, know, Again sooner's pod sixty over
55:24
Speaker 2: as soon As illustrated Dot com sixty percent. Off but,
55:29
Speaker 2: YEAH i think That oklahoma can be pretty calculated down the.
55:32
Speaker 2: STRETCH i think if you want to go after another,
55:36
Speaker 2: receiver you, know we've seen them kind of hover around
55:40
Speaker 2: the offensive line board a little. Bit maybe a tackle
55:44
Speaker 2: makes some. Sense obviously they were in it For Corey,
55:46
Speaker 2: laga who commits. Elsewhere BUT i think flip the flip
55:53
Speaker 2: efforts is going to be the name of the. Game Gideon,
55:56
Speaker 2: GASH i don't think that they're done. THERE i, mean,
56:01
Speaker 2: granted WHEN i SAY i don't think that they're, DONE
56:03
Speaker 2: i don't think that they're done. Pursuing DO i think
56:05
Speaker 2: that the flip is? Inevitable Texas tech has quite the
56:10
Speaker 2: check on the. Table campbell in jail, BOY i still
56:18
Speaker 2: have to do my reading on the stuff that came out.
56:21
Speaker 1: Today but, yeah me. Too who, BUDDY i don't know.
56:25
Speaker 2: WHAT i don't know what that, means BUT i know
56:28
Speaker 2: it ain't good, publicity.
56:31
Speaker 1: Not, all not. All, yeah, no, no but.
56:35
Speaker 2: YEAH i THINK i Think, oklahoma if they wanted to
56:39
Speaker 2: pretty much just go all in and trying to flip
56:41
Speaker 2: A guinea and, gash even though getting him away From
56:44
Speaker 2: texas texts going to be, DIFFICULT i think that that
56:47
Speaker 2: would be a smart. MOVE i think if you want
56:50
Speaker 2: to continue to chip away At UEEL. A Wolf, Graham
56:53
Speaker 2: i'm not gonna hate on it. Now, GRANTED i think
56:57
Speaker 2: That ueel Wolf graam is going to BE yu for several,
56:59
Speaker 2: reasons AND i don't necessarily view him as much of
57:03
Speaker 2: a flip candidate for all of those and then. Some
57:08
Speaker 2: but in, GENERAL i mean, again wide receiver offensive. Line
57:14
Speaker 2: if you want to go after another cheetah, option it
57:17
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be a giddy and. Gash maybe they
57:19
Speaker 2: see another body type out there who makes some. Sense,
57:24
Speaker 2: YEAH i mean, again in twenty twenty, SEVEN i don't
57:26
Speaker 2: think they have to actually do a whole lot the
57:29
Speaker 2: remainder of the cycle. Life if they if you told
57:32
Speaker 2: me today that they pretty much just turned the table
57:34
Speaker 2: to turn the page to twenty twenty. Eight i'd be
57:37
Speaker 2: all for, it but this does allow them to have
57:41
Speaker 2: plenty of flexibility moving, forward and you, know you've got
57:44
Speaker 2: a whole season left to. Go may as well see
57:46
Speaker 2: what you're maybe able to pull off Before.
57:48
Speaker 1: December, yeah, true wide receiver is the One i'm trying
57:52
Speaker 1: To i'm pretty intrigued. On i've been seeing some stuff
57:55
Speaker 1: load around around some players that we're, after and it
58:00
Speaker 1: feels like With Milan green And, grayton how you want
58:04
Speaker 1: to add probably one more to. It but at the
58:08
Speaker 1: same time as your Boy Jaden fields technically Believe sparrow
58:12
Speaker 1: kind of can. PLAY i know That sparrow was being
58:15
Speaker 1: recruited at wide receiver By. Tennessee they really wanted him
58:18
Speaker 1: at wide, receiver which was very interesting when you think
58:21
Speaker 1: back on. It but you gotta you've got. Options If
58:26
Speaker 1: hyper wants then wide, Out i'd say. Yeah BUT i
58:32
Speaker 1: think the one that interests me the most is Trade
58:37
Speaker 1: Talia fairies wide. Receivers one of them is committed To
58:42
Speaker 1: South florida AND i SAW i think it WAS i
58:46
Speaker 1: think it Was Jalen. Scott the safety out Of, alabama
58:51
Speaker 1: tweeted out quote tweeted it put the little eyeballs on,
58:54
Speaker 1: it like he's, Like, hey what's? Up and some of
58:59
Speaker 1: y'all may be Thinking South, florida why do you? Care,
59:02
Speaker 1: well the hey coaches, heartline who's infamous follow the wide
59:06
Speaker 1: receivers that have ended up At Ohio. State if his
59:10
Speaker 1: eye caught, him it feels like somebody worth.
59:14
Speaker 2: Pursuing, Yeah, NO i mean totally. JUSTIFIABLE i think at
59:24
Speaker 2: the end of the, DAY i, mean whether it's A
59:26
Speaker 2: Milan green or some of these other recruits That oklahoma
59:29
Speaker 2: has kind of bet on and stuck to its, evaluation
59:35
Speaker 2: that's kind of the name of the. Game in today's
59:37
Speaker 2: modern landscape of college. Football you're gonna have to go
59:39
Speaker 2: after guys that maybe every power for program under the
59:44
Speaker 2: sun isn't. Pursuing but if they're a fit and they've
59:47
Speaker 2: got the talent and the ability to play at that,
59:49
Speaker 2: level why would you not go after? Them especially. Receiver,
59:52
Speaker 2: Now i'll say, this If oklahoma ends up not adding
59:57
Speaker 2: another wide, OUT i think that that's very very much,
1:00:00
Speaker 2: okay because wide receivers probably the easiest to go get
1:00:03
Speaker 2: an impact player out of the transfer. Portal granted that's usually,
1:00:09
Speaker 2: expensive but what isn't in the transfer, portal, right so
1:00:14
Speaker 2: you may as well have a spot to. Occupy It
1:00:18
Speaker 2: typically the easier position to an identify a difference maker
1:00:23
Speaker 2: going into the. Window BUT i think there are some
1:00:26
Speaker 2: names out, there certainly particularly out in The southeastern region
1:00:31
Speaker 2: Where oklahoma has kind of started to chip away and
1:00:34
Speaker 2: build really strong connections and build a reputation as a
1:00:37
Speaker 2: member of The Southeastern. Conference so again it comes back
1:00:42
Speaker 2: to that flexibility That oklahoma has going into the next few.
1:00:46
Speaker 2: Months you don't have to have another guy at, receiver
1:00:49
Speaker 2: but because of, that you can go after your, wants
1:00:52
Speaker 2: and if you can turn a want into a, get
1:00:55
Speaker 2: that's something to celebrate down the. Stretch, Hey, jade but
1:01:00
Speaker 2: he was A wisconsin commit once upon a. Time he
1:01:02
Speaker 2: sure was.
1:01:03
Speaker 1: Like and that's kind of the reason WHY i mentioned,
1:01:05
Speaker 1: that BECAUSE i remember talking to talking about that with
1:01:08
Speaker 1: a few. Folks i'm, like, yeah you're stressed. Out SOMEBODY
1:01:11
Speaker 1: dmd being was stressed out about the wide receiver recruiting
1:01:14
Speaker 1: because we lost two dudes in the week over the, weekend, Right,
1:01:17
Speaker 1: Yeah AND i was, like you know that we did
1:01:19
Speaker 1: most of our big lifting at wide receiver in Like,
1:01:23
Speaker 1: november right like, It it's, okay we've got. Time you're
1:01:27
Speaker 1: gonna get a lady. Vw someone's gonna shoot up the
1:01:29
Speaker 1: rankings because of their senior season and how they. Perform
1:01:33
Speaker 1: maybe because of the summer starts off the everybody recognized
1:01:36
Speaker 1: and lessen what he, does and then he goes through
1:01:38
Speaker 1: the season and. Dominates something could. Populate Jade petite was
1:01:42
Speaker 1: A wisconsin commit that that we were after and we
1:01:44
Speaker 1: flipped him. Late he's gonna be fun when when he's
1:01:47
Speaker 1: when he's ready to, go he's gonna be. Fun at six,' four, just, Yeah,
1:01:51
Speaker 1: huge yeah he has megatron capabilities at. His size, but yeah.
1:01:58
Speaker 1: LATE evows I Mean taylor wyan was a late. Eb
1:02:01
Speaker 1: out there is a possibility you're going to find someone
1:02:05
Speaker 1: that jumps out. TO you i say it, later on
1:02:08
Speaker 1: but there's a good question. For YOU does dlan recruit
1:02:11
Speaker 1: much different types of running back, Than Say.
1:02:13
Speaker 2: DeMarco murray, i THINK ultimately i guess the type of
1:02:24
Speaker 2: running back that's. Out there it's it is kind. OF
1:02:28
Speaker 2: subjective i don't really know how many types of running
1:02:31
Speaker 2: backs are, Out there to be quite honest, WITH you
1:02:35
Speaker 2: i mean a lot. Of guys at the end of,
1:02:36
Speaker 2: the day your job is to get the ball and
1:02:39
Speaker 2: go get four yards. OR more, i mean you KNOW what.
1:02:42
Speaker 2: I mean but to, Your Question, Okie, TRADES yeah i
1:02:50
Speaker 2: Think that DeLand is going to be recruiting running backs
1:02:55
Speaker 2: who HOW do i? PUT this i Think that oklahoma
1:03:03
Speaker 2: is going to be going after the type of running
1:03:05
Speaker 2: back that is pretty. LOW maintenance i think that what
1:03:12
Speaker 2: he Accomplished At notre dame with some of those guys that.
1:03:17
Speaker 2: Cycled through, you know You Got, jeremiah love but People
1:03:21
Speaker 2: Forget jeremiah love was not really a drama. Filled recruitment
1:03:27
Speaker 2: he kind of stayed out of. The spotlight and then
1:03:32
Speaker 2: You've got Jadari, and price, my guy and what he
1:03:36
Speaker 2: Accomplished with Jadari and price turning him in from, you
1:03:39
Speaker 2: know a second stream running back into a first round
1:03:42
Speaker 2: pick in the same Draft As Jeremiah Love. Aldrich estime
1:03:46
Speaker 2: people Forget what estimate Accomplished It notre dame. Under McCullough
1:03:51
Speaker 2: but i Think that dylan McColl will be adding running
1:03:58
Speaker 2: backs who are pretty, low maintenance pretty to themselves and
1:04:03
Speaker 2: you know very much about. The process BUT then i
1:04:07
Speaker 2: think that to be quite honest, WITH you i think
1:04:09
Speaker 2: what is fair to Expect of dealer McCall running backs
1:04:12
Speaker 2: is he is only going to recruit. Verified. PRODUCTION yeah
1:04:18
Speaker 2: i don't think that he will be necessarily recruiting running
1:04:23
Speaker 2: backs with a lot of long term. Question Marks and
1:04:27
Speaker 2: i'm not necessarily Saying that DeMarco, did THAT but i
1:04:31
Speaker 2: think that when you Look at delan McColo and who
1:04:36
Speaker 2: he has added to, this point ball production is very
1:04:42
Speaker 2: much of value, For him and even with someone Like
1:04:45
Speaker 2: A jacoby dixon who has kind of had a weird
1:04:48
Speaker 2: path in the high.
1:04:49
Speaker 1: School, Realm, Interesting, yeah yeah as he's moved to a
1:04:56
Speaker 1: couple of schools Well With john Cooper And dan BRENNEM
1:05:01
Speaker 1: and i think it's gonna Be a brendanam again. THIS
1:05:02
Speaker 1: season espn has him as a. Four star they really,
1:05:08
Speaker 1: like him top thirty in. His position, it's interesting but
1:05:13
Speaker 1: two four seven has them top one hundred and Similar,
1:05:16
Speaker 1: TO rivals espn is really high on.
1:05:19
Speaker 2: The, Kid YEAH and, i can by, THE way i
1:05:22
Speaker 2: can just go ahead and tell You, inside scoop those
1:05:27
Speaker 2: high schools weren't the only ones that he was potentially gonna.
1:05:30
Speaker 1: Land, with oh.
1:05:33
Speaker 2: Very much someone who was part of the high school
1:05:36
Speaker 2: portal drama that comes across my phone every, off, Season,
1:05:41
Speaker 2: like hey where's this guy gonna? End up is he gonna?
1:05:43
Speaker 2: Go here is he gonna? Go there there were some
1:05:46
Speaker 2: storylines there and, Makes sense but to what we're talking
1:05:51
Speaker 2: about here IS like i think the Dealer m collo
1:05:54
Speaker 2: ends up taking him despite some of the path, question
1:05:56
Speaker 2: MARKS because, i mean you know you brought up. To
1:05:59
Speaker 2: me however many times, you're, like, hey dude what's? Going
1:06:02
Speaker 2: on this guy rushed for a. Gajillion yards, it's, like
1:06:06
Speaker 2: yeah that's part of the spiel With With Chi, Kobe dixon.
1:06:11
Speaker 1: So twenty two hundred yards as, A sophomore like.
1:06:14
Speaker 2: That's, insane well that's why he starves out of the
1:06:17
Speaker 2: gate so quickly as someone who was so highly touted
1:06:22
Speaker 2: as a running back is, like immediately this guy is
1:06:27
Speaker 2: one of the top rushing prospects in the State. Of
1:06:31
Speaker 2: texas THAT'S not, i mean if you're a running back
1:06:34
Speaker 2: putting up those types of numbers unless you're playing you
1:06:37
Speaker 2: KNOW what. I mean like out in the tumbleweeds against
1:06:40
Speaker 2: a Bunch Of, little timmy's was it.
1:06:42
Speaker 1: Like seven o seven or eight eight eight man ball?
1:06:45
Speaker 1: Or whatever they.
1:06:45
Speaker 2: Call, it yeah that Was what i'd, Saying, exactly like
1:06:49
Speaker 2: unless you're fighting for the six, man championship, you know
1:06:54
Speaker 2: you putting up those Numbers in texas. Means something, but
1:06:58
Speaker 2: yeah that would be one THING that i would. Factor
1:07:01
Speaker 2: in DeLand McCole is going to go after the best,
1:07:04
Speaker 2: running backs, and ultimately every running back kind of has
1:07:06
Speaker 2: a similar skill set unless you're like a third down
1:07:09
Speaker 2: back or a true power runner or whatever the case.
1:07:11
Speaker 2: May be you know some guys or maybe like zone specialists.
1:07:16
Speaker 2: Or whatever there's layers, to it but he's going to
1:07:20
Speaker 2: go out and go after the. Best PLAYERS and i
1:07:22
Speaker 2: do think though that he's going to be going after
1:07:24
Speaker 2: guys who have a proven track record of production out of. The.
1:07:29
Speaker 1: BACKFIELD yeah i mean he's size wise Right, Where Honestly
1:07:34
Speaker 1: taylor tatum was pounds as, a recruit so, you know
1:07:40
Speaker 1: Similar to keldrid being. As well they're both in the
1:07:45
Speaker 1: five ten five eleven pounds back so they got that
1:07:50
Speaker 1: good size, and.
1:07:53
Speaker 2: Sturdy.
1:07:54
Speaker 1: Y'ah STURDY so i got his hold on to the
1:07:57
Speaker 1: bott of. A boy that's all we asked you. To
1:07:58
Speaker 1: do tell on the ball is Going From. Oki trades
1:08:01
Speaker 1: we are we taking enough old line that don't want
1:08:04
Speaker 1: to get caught up with no Quality, depth again we
1:08:08
Speaker 1: have Six offensive lineman committed seven six one two three
1:08:17
Speaker 1: four Five Six lineman, RIGHT now.
1:08:23
Speaker 2: I, was like are you counting it on? The screen
1:08:25
Speaker 2: are you counting it in? Your, HEAD yeah i think about.
1:08:28
Speaker 1: The NAME so i had to go to the screen
1:08:30
Speaker 1: to make sure it. Wasn't, OFF yeah i.
1:08:32
Speaker 2: Was, gonna say so you've. Got what let's See who i'm,
1:08:35
Speaker 2: Missing Here, Cooper, Hackett, Kaden, Penny, Luke Wilson, Tyson ross
1:08:41
Speaker 2: isaac cogran and, For more who's the? Last One Lawler
1:08:51
Speaker 2: jackson lawler is the newest edition Of the. Summer one
1:08:55
Speaker 2: he Was the.
1:08:55
Speaker 1: June guy so Yeah him milan committed both on. The fourteenth, so,
1:08:59
Speaker 1: YEAH yeah i. Think so But To oki, trade's question
1:09:05
Speaker 1: because it is a very.
1:09:06
Speaker 2: GOOD one i do think though that that is a
1:09:09
Speaker 2: reason why they were still Going After, Corey LAGA and
1:09:15
Speaker 2: i do think that there is reason why Even Though
1:09:17
Speaker 2: brian swanson was guaranteed to Go, to texas they, still said,
1:09:21
Speaker 2: hey man you can come on your official visit if you.
1:09:23
Speaker 2: Want TO and i think that they are still a
1:09:29
Speaker 2: candidate to look at some of these, OFFENSIVE linemen, i
1:09:31
Speaker 2: mean by the way they would Have Taken gus Corsair
1:09:35
Speaker 2: If gus corsair were going to end Up at oklahoma and, all,
1:09:38
Speaker 2: That right, and so, YOU know i think the amount
1:09:43
Speaker 2: of effort that they put into some of these various
1:09:45
Speaker 2: recruitments to, varying, levels certainly, BUT like i don't think
1:09:50
Speaker 2: that they're necessarily someone you can completely rule out for
1:09:53
Speaker 2: another offensive line ad because depth has kind of been
1:09:57
Speaker 2: the name of the game for, this cycle Like oh
1:10:00
Speaker 2: homa very much entered twenty twenty seven with the intention
1:10:07
Speaker 2: of bolstering the depth and the outlook of the offensive.
1:10:10
Speaker 2: Line room AND so i think they're taking six good
1:10:15
Speaker 2: ones and some guys that, you know will help backfill
1:10:20
Speaker 2: and then eventually fortify the future of. The room but
1:10:24
Speaker 2: at the, SAME time, I mean i Think that oklahoma's
1:10:29
Speaker 2: very aware of what the next year or two could
1:10:31
Speaker 2: look like in terms of the offensive line depth in the,
1:10:34
Speaker 2: situation THERE and i don't know that they would say
1:10:38
Speaker 2: they're one hundred percent done with absolute certainty at. That
1:10:42
Speaker 2: spot they're reminder of. The cycle that's a.
1:10:45
Speaker 1: Good point and as, tober right, offensive, tackle, right yeah
1:10:48
Speaker 1: and it. MAKES sense, i mean so that Will be
1:10:52
Speaker 1: we've got with three ots in, This, class.
1:10:56
Speaker 2: Well You've got Hackett, and wilson And then penny, to
1:11:01
Speaker 2: me is more of. A guard he could, play, tackle
1:11:04
Speaker 2: CERTAINLY but i think that he, will inevitably inevitably be
1:11:11
Speaker 2: an elite interior. Line prospect and by, the way if, you're,
1:11:15
Speaker 2: like well what's the value, In that there's this Guy
1:11:18
Speaker 2: Named tyler smith who plays for my, favorite Team The,
1:11:20
Speaker 2: dallas cowboys and that dude is on real as a
1:11:24
Speaker 2: guard and he is not. A tackle they try to
1:11:27
Speaker 2: force me. To tackle he's, Good Tackle all pro. At
1:11:31
Speaker 2: guard so guys like, that exist believe it. OR not
1:11:36
Speaker 2: I Think cayden. Penny's, SIMILAR again i think you. Play
1:11:41
Speaker 2: tackle i'm not saying. YOU can't i think he has
1:11:43
Speaker 2: an incredible ceiling as an. Interior, player yeah and then
1:11:47
Speaker 2: You have cogran and You. Have Lawler, but lawler like,
1:11:51
Speaker 2: You know lawler was a late ad and and for
1:11:54
Speaker 2: now going to be someone who fortifies. THE depth i
1:11:56
Speaker 2: do wonder what it would have looked like if they
1:11:57
Speaker 2: would have maybe hit on a course air would have
1:12:00
Speaker 2: been fascinating down. The stretch, but yes they have a
1:12:05
Speaker 2: few guys along the INTERIER and i Think that Laga
1:12:09
Speaker 2: and swanson and some of the other guys that have
1:12:10
Speaker 2: been mentioned offensive tackle were again mentioned for. A reason
1:12:13
Speaker 2: i think that they would certainly welcome another sensible tackle
1:12:18
Speaker 2: ad for, the future but who that name is exactly
1:12:23
Speaker 2: remains to.
1:12:24
Speaker 1: Be seen that's a good POINT and i, Like, This
1:12:28
Speaker 1: okra yeah You epl Fasusi and foje are back next
1:12:32
Speaker 1: year if you'll have him in. TWENTY seven i Don't
1:12:35
Speaker 1: think fasussi comes back after. TWENTY seven i think twenty
1:12:37
Speaker 1: seven is. LAST year i think he's a three and,
1:12:39
Speaker 1: done guy just. Too talented he's gonna end up being
1:12:42
Speaker 1: the first. Round pick he's gone after. THREE years epa
1:12:46
Speaker 1: will probably. Follow him that'll be his. Fourth year he'll
1:12:49
Speaker 1: probably follow him. As well you'll Probably get foge for one.
1:12:53
Speaker 1: More year and that's when you're gonna start looking at.
1:12:55
Speaker 1: Everybody Behind Is pyton joseph gonna? Be ready Is Uh
1:13:01
Speaker 1: deacon schmidt gonna? Be ready or is it Gonna Be,
1:13:03
Speaker 1: Cooper Hackett. Cayden penny are they're gonna walk in and?
1:13:05
Speaker 1: Take jobs when it Starts? To, Best, Yeah no best
1:13:08
Speaker 1: gonna snatch. A chain he's probably gonna be your next center.
1:13:11
Speaker 1: Coming up If if nita, isn't ready he's probably gonna
1:13:15
Speaker 1: have snatching that chain right. There too, so yeah there
1:13:17
Speaker 1: is a good your your line's gonna be young in
1:13:22
Speaker 1: twenty eight is more So what i'm. Looking at, twenty
1:13:25
Speaker 1: seven you'll probably have one of the better offensive lines in,
1:13:28
Speaker 1: the country if not at least one of the best
1:13:30
Speaker 1: IN the sec because you'll have those. Veterans there what
1:13:34
Speaker 1: does it look like in? Twenty EIGHT and i think
1:13:36
Speaker 1: this is why you're seeing them load up so much
1:13:38
Speaker 1: online in the twenty, seven class because, they, know yeah
1:13:41
Speaker 1: they're gonna need a full year with all, these kids
1:13:43
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to start playing. Some sophomores i'm
1:13:47
Speaker 1: actually wondered with the five or five how do you
1:13:48
Speaker 1: go start naming? These kids they're gonna be super, seniors
1:13:51
Speaker 1: now are we gonna just do the super? SENIOR thing
1:13:53
Speaker 1: i don't eat. Snaming, CONVENTION personally.
1:13:55
Speaker 2: I have no idea what to. CALL it, I mean
1:13:58
Speaker 2: i'm just gonna go with fifth. YEAR senior i think
1:14:00
Speaker 2: that that would be the. Easiest thing, BUT yeah, i, mean,
1:14:05
Speaker 2: also like let's go ahead and address the obvious here
1:14:07
Speaker 2: in case it's, getting forgotten like a big reason about
1:14:11
Speaker 2: this is they took two offensive linemen in twenty twenty.
1:14:14
Speaker 2: Six two It Took deacon Schmidt And, noah best and
1:14:17
Speaker 2: both of those guys will probably play a role here
1:14:18
Speaker 2: in a, Little bit but you, TOOK two i, mean yeah, and,
1:14:25
Speaker 2: Like Look jim naggy said it on that, signing day he,
1:14:27
Speaker 2: was like, YOU know i kind of wish we would
1:14:28
Speaker 2: have been able to add more, offensive lineman, but like
1:14:30
Speaker 2: they're not gonna add guys who can't necessarily play more
1:14:32
Speaker 2: than just. One position and so that paired with the
1:14:38
Speaker 2: fact that you're going To Lose jake Michael And marion
1:14:42
Speaker 2: harris after, this season And then fasusi is a for
1:14:48
Speaker 2: sure goner the, following year like your heavy hitters at
1:14:53
Speaker 2: the top are gonna start being on for lack of,
1:14:56
Speaker 2: a term expiring Contracts h and with some of the
1:15:02
Speaker 2: way that the depth has, PLAYED out i think, certainly
1:15:05
Speaker 2: again using twenty twenty seven as an opportunity to add
1:15:09
Speaker 2: a ton of future bodies makes too. Much, sense yeah
1:15:13
Speaker 2: that's going to be.
1:15:15
Speaker 1: This class and then, of course question about twenty eight
1:15:18
Speaker 1: about how we're offering a ton of top players in
1:15:23
Speaker 1: twenty eight it feels like that's the last you replenish
1:15:26
Speaker 1: your interior defensive. Line, on yes that feels like you're,
1:15:31
Speaker 1: all right we need to get The Next, David stone
1:15:33
Speaker 1: Jade And jackson dude to push everybody else that we
1:15:39
Speaker 1: already have. Out here that's what that. Feels.
1:15:42
Speaker 2: Like, period yeah twenty twenty eight is a special cycle
1:15:49
Speaker 2: for defensive. Line. TALENT special i was going over this today.
1:15:57
Speaker 2: With somebody when you you look at twenty, twenty, eight
1:16:01
Speaker 2: right just the names in the top thirty two alone
1:16:09
Speaker 2: on the defensive line at twenty four, to seven it's.
1:16:14
Speaker 2: It's nuts, Cameron McGhee Asher, G Hoto, Darien Prescott tyson
1:16:22
Speaker 2: Swan And antonio, Thomas Junior Prince say, Oklahoma Turiot, Jelanie george,
1:16:28
Speaker 2: Oklahoma Target jermaine, Smith Junior, Lannon wade, Oklahoma Target, Killen
1:16:37
Speaker 2: hall Oklahoma Target. Jamir weiss all in the top thirty
1:16:45
Speaker 2: two is just. Defensive lineman and that's only in the top.
1:16:48
Speaker 2: Thirty two that doesn't even get me to some Of The,
1:16:51
Speaker 2: keoni Snipes The, major stokes some of the other big
1:16:54
Speaker 2: time guys along the. Defensive line they're in the top,
1:16:56
Speaker 2: one hundred in the top, one fifty top, Two hundred
1:16:59
Speaker 2: top two four twenty twenty eight is the cycle for
1:17:03
Speaker 2: the defensive line in, my opinion when it Comes, to
1:17:06
Speaker 2: oklahoma and that's already. PLAYING out, i mean in the
1:17:08
Speaker 2: top thirty, two alone they are very much in the
1:17:12
Speaker 2: Race For, Kellen Hall, prince Shay And. Jilani, GEORGE man
1:17:21
Speaker 2: i don't know what exactly they're gonna pull off when
1:17:24
Speaker 2: it's all said, and DONE but i think they're in
1:17:27
Speaker 2: the top Two For. KILLING hall I think i think
1:17:31
Speaker 2: they're one of the Leaders For prince say. RIGHT now
1:17:35
Speaker 2: i think that they're somewhere in the top five to
1:17:38
Speaker 2: Six For. Jilani george and then you go down and
1:17:41
Speaker 2: It's Like. KENNY snipes i think that they Lead For,
1:17:45
Speaker 2: keunie snipes and that's somebody who could probably play a
1:17:48
Speaker 2: little bit of both defensive end and. Defensive tackle you
1:17:53
Speaker 2: got to get across the, finish line and with defensive,
1:17:56
Speaker 2: linemen specifically it's never easy to get everything. FIGURED out,
1:18:00
Speaker 2: i mean how many defensive linemen over the years have
1:18:03
Speaker 2: we Talked about oklahoma's right there and they end up going,
1:18:05
Speaker 2: somewhere else but they still, hit yeah, like yeah but
1:18:12
Speaker 2: they're still going to hit on guys, AND man, i
1:18:16
Speaker 2: mean if you, Told me i'm not saying this. Can
1:18:21
Speaker 2: happen if you told me they walk away with two
1:18:25
Speaker 2: of three of let's Just Say, Kellen Hall, keoni SIPs
1:18:30
Speaker 2: And prince shay just. That three if you told me
1:18:34
Speaker 2: they walk away with two of, the three let alone three,
1:18:36
Speaker 2: Of three i'm not SURE that i care what happens
1:18:40
Speaker 2: the rest of the Cycle. For oklahoma but it's crazy
1:18:46
Speaker 2: because It's like i'm mentioning those Players because oklahoma is
1:18:48
Speaker 2: absolutely somewhere towards the top for all of, those guys
1:18:51
Speaker 2: which is crazy.
1:18:52
Speaker 1: To, hear well at the, same time it's understood because
1:18:55
Speaker 1: Of What todd bates and, is doing like they put
1:18:58
Speaker 1: they put him up produced it after. Last season it
1:19:01
Speaker 1: feels like defensive lineman would be crazy to Not consider oklahoma.
1:19:04
Speaker 2: Straight, UP yeah, i mean this IS what i was
1:19:08
Speaker 2: telling somebody the other day a few. YEARS ago i,
1:19:14
Speaker 2: don't know five. Years ago if you're Saying that oklahoma
1:19:21
Speaker 2: is competing for a five star defensive lineman Against Coach
1:19:26
Speaker 2: Larry Johnson, ohio state in what world would you ever
1:19:30
Speaker 2: say that they have. A shot and now, IT'S like
1:19:34
Speaker 2: I think Oklahoma Versus ohio state is the top Two
1:19:36
Speaker 2: For kellen HALL and I think oklahoma, could win which
1:19:41
Speaker 2: again is a testament to What this oklahoma staff Has
1:19:44
Speaker 2: turned oklahoma into as far as a reputation style destination
1:19:49
Speaker 2: for elite defensive. Front liners it's been. Really fun as
1:19:55
Speaker 2: someone who enjoys watching elite defensive, LINE play i. Enjoy
1:19:59
Speaker 2: it but it's also making twenty, twenty eight in, my
1:20:02
Speaker 2: opinion one of the more fun Cycles that oklahoma fans
1:20:06
Speaker 2: who follow recruiting will. Get to we'll get to cover
1:20:10
Speaker 2: along the way because it's not just like, they're they're,
1:20:13
Speaker 2: you know in the mix for some. Good players they're
1:20:15
Speaker 2: in the mix for elite talents and in a special
1:20:20
Speaker 2: cycle with, The, position.
1:20:21
Speaker 1: Yeah actually got guys that that can become household names
1:20:27
Speaker 1: quick like ones that have been highly Evaluated of, oh
1:20:30
Speaker 1: no they're they're they're, they're talented. They're special they're one
1:20:33
Speaker 1: to keep your eyes. Out for and all we gotta do.
1:20:36
Speaker 1: Is close but again what we did last season and
1:20:40
Speaker 1: how everyone's raving right now in this. DEFENSIVE. Line jd
1:20:42
Speaker 1: piquel over there at on three posted his top defenses in.
1:20:47
Speaker 1: College football oklahoma's right there at. Number Two david stones
1:20:49
Speaker 1: right in. The Middle david stones considered the top interior
1:20:52
Speaker 1: guy on college football twenty seven and consider one of
1:20:55
Speaker 1: the top defensive lineman going in. The draft you get
1:20:58
Speaker 1: that by going to go play for this for. This
1:21:00
Speaker 1: guy And the stone. Hasn't played he's played, enough snaps
1:21:04
Speaker 1: but he didn't played a whole bunch his first. Two
1:21:07
Speaker 1: years now he's walking in. Thirty year, they're, like, oh
1:21:09
Speaker 1: no HE'S an. Nfl body they made him INTO an.
1:21:11
Speaker 1: Nfl body he's ready to go all he needs. To
1:21:12
Speaker 1: do GO out. Thursda, Produced yeah i'm here. FOR it
1:21:18
Speaker 1: i expect it now at, THIS point i am sign
1:21:22
Speaker 1: me up for winning some big time into your guys for.
1:21:28
Speaker 1: NEXT season i. See it we just we got, to,
1:21:33
Speaker 1: close man we got to close. On it but at the,
1:21:35
Speaker 1: same time it's this is twenty eight where we've got
1:21:39
Speaker 1: all the long time. To go but the good thing
1:21:42
Speaker 1: is is We got Trey talia ferry. At quarterback we've got,
1:21:46
Speaker 1: the quarterback so it feels like the foundation. Is set
1:21:49
Speaker 1: and before we, wrap up gotta, Ask you I've been
1:21:54
Speaker 1: i've Been watching. Trey's. Game huh trey Has That sam
1:22:00
Speaker 1: bradford is. To him he sits in, the pocket he
1:22:03
Speaker 1: steps up and he slings.
1:22:04
Speaker 2: That, thing yeah he ain't.
1:22:06
Speaker 1: Moving though it feels like the polar Opposite Of. Bo
1:22:10
Speaker 1: bentley as the question has been asking here, next Year
1:22:14
Speaker 1: Will bo bentley be the quarterback or will we portal in?
1:22:17
Speaker 1: A start very, very question very, fair Question because bow
1:22:21
Speaker 1: will only be a quote. Unquote sophomore that twenty seven
1:22:27
Speaker 1: line is gonna, be great so they Should help bo
1:22:29
Speaker 1: just walk out there and. Do it but that dude's
1:22:31
Speaker 1: a complete opposite of what we've. Seen recruited Is there
1:22:35
Speaker 1: is it a? Philosophy shift it feels like a. Philosophy, SHIFT.
1:22:40
Speaker 2: Yeah i think to the to the, one question will
1:22:48
Speaker 2: we probably won't know the answer with absolute certainty until
1:22:51
Speaker 2: we get a sense of how they Feel About bo
1:22:53
Speaker 2: bentley behind the scenes and his. DEVELOPMENTAL process, i mean
1:22:57
Speaker 2: they're they're not gonna know, for sure, you know whether
1:23:02
Speaker 2: Or Not bo bentley has the inside track to be
1:23:05
Speaker 2: the guy until they kind of see him progress as.
1:23:07
Speaker 2: A FRESHMAN and i do think that the five for
1:23:09
Speaker 2: five rule coming into effect is MASSIVE because i do
1:23:13
Speaker 2: think that we're gonna see a decent Amount Of bo
1:23:17
Speaker 2: bentley now because they got to put him in some
1:23:19
Speaker 2: game situations and see what he's got at. This level
1:23:26
Speaker 2: but he is different That Being talia, ferry too Not Just,
1:23:32
Speaker 2: bo Bentley But, jamison roberts who, YOU know i think
1:23:36
Speaker 2: the world, of excellent great kid and a heck of a.
1:23:40
Speaker 2: Football player, BUT yeah i think that this is someone
1:23:48
Speaker 2: WHO would i would Understand If kevin wilson kind of stamped,
1:23:54
Speaker 2: and helped, you know FIGHT for I Know john kuciski
1:23:59
Speaker 2: played a primary role in the Recruitment Of talia. Ferry
1:24:03
Speaker 2: HERE and i also, think, too, like yeah it's it's
1:24:15
Speaker 2: it is somewhat of a. Different SHIFT but i Don't
1:24:17
Speaker 2: Think talia faery is not not. An athlete AND also
1:24:22
Speaker 2: i think, that sometimes, you know, maybe unjustly when we
1:24:28
Speaker 2: think about, this system you Think About john mattier and
1:24:32
Speaker 2: you think about the design quarterback runs. And stuff but
1:24:36
Speaker 2: also like Up At washington state when Like cam ward
1:24:40
Speaker 2: was going through this, Offensive, STRUCTURE like i don't View
1:24:43
Speaker 2: cam ward As A john mattire by. ANY means, i
1:24:47
Speaker 2: Mean cam ward is very mobile in, the pocket but
1:24:50
Speaker 2: he's not a guy you're gonna go out and call
1:24:52
Speaker 2: a ton of design runs with pocket. Savvy quarterback could
1:24:59
Speaker 2: that kind of be maybe more Of The talia. Faery
1:25:01
Speaker 2: role that would BE what i, Would say i'm not
1:25:04
Speaker 2: comparing The. CAMP ward i.
1:25:06
Speaker 1: Would say that feels actually feels even more Like A
1:25:08
Speaker 1: jameson roberts piece there that he would be one with
1:25:11
Speaker 1: more so quote unquote dance in, the pocket be at
1:25:13
Speaker 1: maneuver of, the pocket but not really Run where john
1:25:17
Speaker 1: is A and bo feels Like a i'm a tuck
1:25:20
Speaker 1: and just Go because i've got the leg stream to,
1:25:23
Speaker 1: do it Like A, Jalen Hurts like i've, Always Said,
1:25:25
Speaker 1: John Matiers, jalen HURTS but i think he has a.
1:25:27
Speaker 1: Stronger arm that's literally his. Entire, ARCHETYPE yeah i.
1:25:31
Speaker 2: DO think i Do Think jameson roberts is very good
1:25:34
Speaker 2: as a design quarterback, run guy but he is someone
1:25:37
Speaker 2: who is very mobile in. THE pocket I Think talia
1:25:41
Speaker 2: faery is certainly not someone who's going to be extending
1:25:45
Speaker 2: plays and consistently picking up first downs with. His LEGS
1:25:48
Speaker 2: but i do think that he has some pocket savviness,
1:25:50
Speaker 2: to HIM and i think that there has been when
1:25:53
Speaker 2: you kind of talk about the cut of, this system
1:25:57
Speaker 2: there's been proven success with that type. Of quarterback so
1:26:00
Speaker 2: it doesn't necessarily shock me and at the end of,
1:26:03
Speaker 2: the day he can throw the. Ball well so that's
1:26:06
Speaker 2: that's what you should be recruiting in. A quarterback and
1:26:09
Speaker 2: if you think he can throw the ball really well in,
1:26:11
Speaker 2: YOUR system i don't know that it, necessarily matters, you know, the,
1:26:16
Speaker 2: second third and fourth layer, AFTER that i think it's
1:26:18
Speaker 2: a good GET and. I understood i understood why they made.
1:26:21
Speaker 2: That move.
1:26:24
Speaker 1: Same it it does feel like. A shift it feels
1:26:27
Speaker 1: like kinds, of comment Feels Like kevin wilson. Type SET like,
1:26:30
Speaker 1: i Say It's sam brafford's what he reminds. Me of
1:26:32
Speaker 1: he Said in pocket, boom arm, beautiful, arm, talent rocket
1:26:38
Speaker 1: pretty accurate just about everything. He throws and. He's quick
1:26:42
Speaker 1: he's quick with getting rid of. The ball he's not,
1:26:43
Speaker 1: Sitting there He's not he didn't have to dance in
1:26:45
Speaker 1: a pocket because his decision on the fourth look is
1:26:48
Speaker 1: already there before he even makes. His progressions so he
1:26:51
Speaker 1: knows where he's gonna be and he gets it. Out
1:26:52
Speaker 1: there that is what's going to be interesting to see
1:26:55
Speaker 1: what this looks like in twenty, twenty Seven When jamison roberts,
1:26:58
Speaker 1: on campus him And bo bentley are battling Out Or
1:27:01
Speaker 1: jet new or Whit new bowers also trying to compete.
1:27:04
Speaker 1: With it if they're still, on campus if they don't hit,
1:27:06
Speaker 1: the portal we. Don't know, but yeah with that, being
1:27:10
Speaker 1: Said It's, colin kennedy, national guy national, recruiting analysts national,
1:27:16
Speaker 1: congratulations again you are, the man the Myth Legendary. Colin

Speaker 1: continue guys.
1:27:27
Speaker 2: Don't, worry, look man EVERYTHING that i, said earlier if
1:27:31
Speaker 2: you missed my, WHOLE spiel i don't want to read hash.
1:27:34
Speaker 2: It all BUT everything i said earlier about this move
1:27:38
Speaker 2: meant every word couldn't be. More thankful and the LAST
1:27:43
Speaker 2: thing i would say on IT is i couldn't be
1:27:45

1:27:48
Speaker 2: that he embraced my return to, the beat what he
1:27:52
