- 1:12Speaker 1: Yeah, it's lush slush. I can still make snowballs.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty good stuff. I think my kids have been off.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Just got word that my son broken arrow is not
- 1:25Speaker 2: I'm going to school tomorrow either, so so he's been
- 1:30Speaker 2: It'll be silly and to put them back in school
- 1:33Speaker 2: on Friday, but it is what it is, right.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I got the call from the schools here
- 1:39Speaker 1: in Middal. They're driving around and trying to make sure
- 1:43Speaker 1: that the streets are not only safe, but the weather
- 1:45Speaker 1: is safe enough for kids to stand on the corners
- 1:48Speaker 1: for the buses. And they're like, we're gonna try it
- 1:52Speaker 1: in the morning, since the temperatures of being the teens again,
- 1:56Speaker 1: this when they'll be able to determine if school is
- 1:58Speaker 1: gonna be ready. So they kid gets to wake up
- 2:01Speaker 1: and watch or wait for their phone to go off
- 2:04Speaker 1: like we used to watch the uh the NBA ticker,
- 2:06Speaker 1: the NBA draft ticker in the mornings. He'll get to
- 2:09Speaker 1: just waiting for his phone to go off and let
- 2:12Speaker 1: him know that, yes, you will be going to school
- 2:15Speaker 1: probably a day. You know. I wish I would have
- 2:20Speaker 1: gotten a message the night before and I could have
- 2:22Speaker 1: just you know, slept in. But no, yeah, no, we
- 2:25Speaker 1: exactly no. As always stressed, I stressed and determine if
- 2:27Speaker 1: I need to bundle up a lot and run to
- 2:30Speaker 1: the bus stop, or if I had an opportunity to
- 2:35Speaker 1: to you know, dis dismantle everything and get back in
- 2:40Speaker 1: the bed. But you know he didn't, he didn't. Got
- 2:42Speaker 1: to deal with that. It's a we get a message.
- 2:44Speaker 1: There's no school, so fascinating if anything, but no, there's
- 2:48Speaker 1: a lot of stuff for us to get into. Senior
- 2:50Speaker 1: Bowl is a great topic, win or work out. All
- 2:53Speaker 1: of those rumors are flying down the line, kids that
- 2:57Speaker 1: are showing up and showing out. So you know, we
- 3:00Speaker 1: got to jump into a lot of that. Where do
- 3:01Speaker 1: you think we should start?
- 3:06Speaker 2: I mean, now that the season's over, completely over. Now
- 3:10Speaker 2: it's now it's for the momentum talk, right, this is
- 3:13Speaker 2: where you start hearing this guy showed up heavier than
- 3:18Speaker 2: we expected. This guy showed up, you know, with good weight.
- 3:21Speaker 2: This guy showed up and now he's testing out out
- 3:23Speaker 2: the gym. You know, So let's let's start there because
- 3:26Speaker 2: I mean, we've heard, we've heard a couple of a
- 3:29Speaker 2: couple of good pieces, and that's what season we're in,
- 3:33Speaker 2: is winter workout season.
- 3:36Speaker 1: It is, That's all it is. So yeah, let's jump
- 3:39Speaker 1: right into that. Thank you all for pulling up. Hit

- 3:57Speaker 1: picture is on the screen. All right, who's one. There's
- 4:02Speaker 1: been a few players that have been getting some really
- 4:04Speaker 1: good reviews. I've gotten some messages. I know you have
- 4:07Speaker 1: as well. We talked about some in the cord. We've
- 4:10Speaker 1: seen them on the socials. Let's start with the portal guys.
- 4:18Speaker 1: It appears that Kenny Ozawalu might be a dude. And
- 4:26Speaker 1: I think that's the one person you pointed out when
- 4:29Speaker 1: we were talking about portal players and who we wanted
- 4:31Speaker 1: to be impactful. Since it sounds like he's coming in
- 4:33Speaker 1: at a very nice wait, he'll be able to play
- 4:36Speaker 1: the the g baby role while being like two or
- 4:40Speaker 1: three inches taller. Yeah, and red shop as a what
- 4:44Speaker 1: red shirt freshman? It sounds like he has the capabilities
- 4:47Speaker 1: of doing that.
- 4:48Speaker 2: I mean, we heard somewhere in the two eighty two
- 4:53Speaker 2: eighty five you know range for the weight they say
- 4:57Speaker 2: that you know he's he's he's right there. He has
- 5:01Speaker 2: the opportunity to play some at edge, place some in
- 5:05Speaker 2: the inside, and you know, Venables wants to be multiple.
- 5:10Speaker 2: He wants to have a lot of great things up
- 5:12Speaker 2: his sleeve, as any you know, great defensive coordinator wants
- 5:15Speaker 2: to have. And I mean, I said, you know, I
- 5:19Speaker 2: think he's going to be a mismatched nightmare for you know,
- 5:23Speaker 2: on stunts and twists. You know, brought up the fact
- 5:26Speaker 2: that you know, we like to run zone blitzes at
- 5:28Speaker 2: times to where we drop one of the edges into
- 5:31Speaker 2: coverage and it's a it's a it's sounds like he
- 5:38Speaker 2: is doing his part. So you get him in here
- 5:41Speaker 2: with you know, Bates and Shaves, Preventables, get him up
- 5:46Speaker 2: to speed on the playbook, and he's one of those
- 5:49Speaker 2: guys kind of like with Kendall Daniels, that you look
- 5:51Speaker 2: at and you're just like, Okay, there's a lot of
- 5:53Speaker 2: cool stuff we can do with him. And you know,
- 5:56Speaker 2: like you said, losing g baby, we'll talk about him later.
- 6:00Speaker 2: He's obviously pretty good. Yeah, he's showing out in the
- 6:04Speaker 2: Senior Bowl, but I think that it's going to be
- 6:09Speaker 2: you know, sky's the limit. Don't want to get too
- 6:12Speaker 2: crazy too early because he hasn't played a snap, but
- 6:15Speaker 2: like I said, uts A, they've they've had some really
- 6:18Speaker 2: really good guys come off their defensive line and transfer
- 6:21Speaker 2: into bigger schools and make impact.
- 6:23Speaker 1: If there's a coach that I that I'm not gonna
- 6:27Speaker 1: fully doubt on a young player that has potential and
- 6:29Speaker 1: that does move up, it's gonna be as the coach
- 6:32Speaker 1: trailer down there at ut s A. He seems to
- 6:36Speaker 1: do a really good job of finding diamonds in the
- 6:38Speaker 1: rough and all of that. And you know, I'll show
- 6:42Speaker 1: the picture up here of Kenny right here. He's he's
- 6:45Speaker 1: a big dude. That that's that's we know this. And
- 6:51Speaker 1: if he can come in and be a contributor to
- 6:56Speaker 1: the to this the defensive line this early, that's a
- 7:03Speaker 1: big deal. And like I said, he and a little guy,
- 7:07Speaker 1: he's pretty big, No, And I have an appreciation for
- 7:11Speaker 1: guys that are ginormous like that.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Yeah, and you needed the depth, right, We saw a
- 7:17Speaker 2: lot of names coming through for you know in the
- 7:21Speaker 2: transfer portal, there wasn't there wasn't a great selection of
- 7:24Speaker 2: defensive line guys.
- 7:26Speaker 1: You're not that many.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Made the comment that you know, if if Stone or
- 7:29Speaker 2: Jackson would have hit the portal, they would have been
- 7:32Speaker 2: the number one defensive lineman in the portal. So you
- 7:36Speaker 2: bring him in as your goal is to hope that
- 7:40Speaker 2: he can be in that three four. You know the
- 7:42Speaker 2: guy's coming in. And so you bring in a guy
- 7:45Speaker 2: like this, You've got the development of guys like Nigel Smith,
- 7:49Speaker 2: and you're you're going to want to see a push
- 7:53Speaker 2: from the young guys to go, okay, well, I mean
- 7:56Speaker 2: I thought I was about to be the number three.
- 7:58Speaker 2: I got to push harder. So you bring that, you know,
- 8:01Speaker 2: competitive depth, and that's what happens. These these guys are
- 8:06Speaker 2: going to get stronger. You don't expect David Stone and
- 8:10Speaker 2: and Jaden Jackson just to you know, to play every
- 8:12Speaker 2: single snap at defensive tackle and at one hundred percent
- 8:15Speaker 2: even so you're gonna need that. You're gonna need the
- 8:18Speaker 2: thick guys down load to continue to do what the
- 8:21Speaker 2: defense you know, really wants.
- 8:23Speaker 1: To do, especially if you get something that can grow,
- 8:26Speaker 1: that that appears that they have the ability to potentially
- 8:30Speaker 1: grow and be a part of what we're doing. But
- 8:35Speaker 1: he's he seems to be well known, and that's what
- 8:38Speaker 1: what really matters is that he's got the skill set
- 8:40Speaker 1: that we're looking for. And he's an overall quote unquote
- 8:44Speaker 1: terrorists down there. So Ozawalu's one name. I know that
- 8:47Speaker 1: we're hearing a lot abouts. Somebody pointed this out in
- 8:49Speaker 1: here in the chat, and Sean, you're one hundred percent
- 8:52Speaker 1: correct because that said the same thing. This is the
- 8:53Speaker 1: dude I've been talking about on offensive side of the
- 8:55Speaker 1: ball Jonathan had suppose he hadn't walked in. He is
- 8:59Speaker 1: two twenty, Like he's more than two twenty, I think,
- 9:01Speaker 1: just like just a little bit over, and it rumor
- 9:04Speaker 1: has it he is everything as advertised him. And one
- 9:10Speaker 1: that is a little bit surprising but not really that
- 9:14Speaker 1: surprising is a do zephyon Walker the other running back.
- 9:19Speaker 1: It sounds like he's also out there impressing everybody. Makes sense, right,
- 9:23Speaker 1: That's kind of the reason why the team stuck with him.
- 9:27Speaker 1: And we'll see a boy adding an additional, an additional
- 9:32Speaker 1: like running back to go to this room. But they
- 9:35Speaker 1: stuck with Walker, and I see why. Sounds like he's
- 9:38Speaker 1: out there lighting it up.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Yeah. When you get I mean, when when Bob Stoops
- 9:46Speaker 2: makes a comparison to Adrian Peterson, you kind of want
- 9:50Speaker 2: to stop and listen. Yes, and if you remember, I
- 9:54Speaker 2: mean it was Kewan Jones, you know, starting off the season,
- 9:59Speaker 2: and you just ever single time you saw Ad carry
- 10:01Speaker 2: the ball, you were like, Okay. As soon as he
- 10:04Speaker 2: kind of the game slows down a tad bit for him,
- 10:07Speaker 2: you know he's going to take off. I mean, the
- 10:09Speaker 2: guy ran for eighteen yards this freshman year, so that's
- 10:11Speaker 2: a lofty comparison. But with Hatton, he will truck you.
- 10:17Speaker 2: He's fast, he's quick, he's got great vision. So I'm again,
- 10:22Speaker 2: I don't go back to saying this is like it's
- 10:24Speaker 2: what does the offensive line do? You know? Do those
- 10:27Speaker 2: guys make it available for you know, a freak of
- 10:32Speaker 2: nature like Jonathan Hatton and you know also the other guys.
- 10:37Speaker 2: This running back room is going to be much better
- 10:39Speaker 2: than it was. I think when Ad came in, because
- 10:41Speaker 2: I mean, like, dude was so good, he pushed to
- 10:44Speaker 2: shar a choice. If if I'm not mistaken, he pushed
- 10:47Speaker 2: him out. I think you had DJ Wolf also come
- 10:51Speaker 2: in and he converted to the safety because I mean
- 10:54Speaker 2: that he couldn't get on the field, and so I'm
- 10:57Speaker 2: pretty pretty excited. Yeah, DJ Wolf was. I think it
- 11:00Speaker 2: was one of the top, you know, two or three
- 11:01Speaker 2: guys in Oklahoma. He was a very very highly highly
- 11:04Speaker 2: recruited guy and highly rated guy. So this is the
- 11:09Speaker 2: excitement time, right, It's all talk. Nobody's ever nobody's ever
- 11:13Speaker 2: said anything about winning the national championship, you know, but
- 11:17Speaker 2: I mean this is a season to where you you've
- 11:20Speaker 2: got that in your in your grasp. I mean, those
- 11:22Speaker 2: are your ambitions. Is national championship, you know, it's playoffs
- 11:26Speaker 2: or bus like I think you don't make the playoffs,
- 11:28Speaker 2: it's it's disappointment, but you've got you've got some opportunity.
- 11:33Speaker 2: And with potentially playing a sixteen game season, if you
- 11:37Speaker 2: can have five or six running backs that can contribute,
- 11:39Speaker 2: that's what you're gonna want. And uh, I don't think
- 11:42Speaker 2: that we're gonna be running five or six guys out there,
- 11:44Speaker 2: but to have you know, a vaunt uh to have
- 11:48Speaker 2: uh X, Rob Blaylock and Hatton kind of ready to go.
- 11:52Speaker 2: I mean, zephn Walker comes in if he if he
- 11:55Speaker 2: needs again, going back to the blow guys out early,
- 11:59Speaker 2: those early, those early games that you play and let
- 12:02Speaker 2: some of the young kids get out there and have
- 12:03Speaker 2: some fun.
- 12:04Speaker 1: That's the one thing that's gonna help is having multiple
- 12:11Speaker 1: running backs that can play and that's ready to play.
- 12:15Speaker 1: That's gonna be the game changer right there, right yeah,
- 12:20Speaker 1: excuse me, thank you allergies up here kicking my tail,
- 12:22Speaker 1: But yeah, having having multiple backs is gonna be important, right,
- 12:28Speaker 1: Like Tory Blaylocke was dealing with some injury, so it's ex.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Rob Barnes was preparing to transfer, so you didn't want
- 12:34Speaker 1: to burn his burn his red shirt and I just
- 12:38Speaker 1: never materialize. So yeah, you kind of was limited in
- 12:41Speaker 1: the run game. But this year a lot of players
- 12:44Speaker 1: have These players have been in the system a year,
- 12:46Speaker 1: they should have a better understanding of assignments and chemistry
- 12:49Speaker 1: and all that. But then you can bring into other
- 12:51Speaker 1: dudes that you just say hand the battle, say hey
- 12:52Speaker 1: go hit the hole and you're gone. You need to
- 12:56Speaker 1: have about four dudes you could rotate just in case.
- 12:58Speaker 1: That's a great point, true, Oak, that's what you like,
- 13:02Speaker 1: That's what we'll actually see. I think the offense will
- 13:05Speaker 1: look much better because of that. So I'm not complaining
- 13:08Speaker 1: there Outside of that portal, guys, go ahead.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just say Cole Sullivan heard some really
- 13:17Speaker 2: really good stuff. He has got the Danny Stutsman type
- 13:22Speaker 2: of mentality. You know, first in, last out type of
- 13:25Speaker 2: the deal. Uh, this is this guy who wants to
- 13:27Speaker 2: come in and he knows Listen, I think Michigan could
- 13:31Speaker 2: probably you know, their their hopes will probably to get
- 13:35Speaker 2: to the playoffs this year. But you leave that situation
- 13:41Speaker 2: and you come here for and your talking to the team. Hey,
- 13:44Speaker 2: we just made the playoffs. You know we need uh,
- 13:47Speaker 2: we need this defense to take a step up. I
- 13:48Speaker 2: saw a question, do we think the defense is going
- 13:53Speaker 2: to be as good as it was this year? I
- 13:55Speaker 2: think the defense can be better this year.
- 14:00Speaker 1: So I know I talked about this before. Of course
- 14:05Speaker 1: some people didn't want to believe me in stating this,
- 14:08Speaker 1: but I may mention that I believed that our defense
- 14:16Speaker 1: this past season, before season started, was going to be
- 14:20Speaker 1: better statistically than the year before because we were going
- 14:25Speaker 1: to have a competent enough offense to elevate their play.
- 14:29Speaker 1: What happened, Coop, I'm patting myself on the backyard just
- 14:33Speaker 1: as an FYI, I'm one hundred percent patting myself on
- 14:36Speaker 1: the back because that's exactly what happened when you got
- 14:38Speaker 1: that competent offense. Some yan' I don't want to believe
- 14:41Speaker 1: that was competent. It was. It was a hell of
- 14:42Speaker 1: a lot better for the most part than it was
- 14:45Speaker 1: last year. I mean, you still had limitations in the
- 14:47Speaker 1: run game, which when you ain't got running backs is
- 14:49Speaker 1: kind of tough to do that, especially if they're dealing
- 14:51Speaker 1: with injuries. But when they were healthier, you got a
- 14:54Speaker 1: hundred from extra Op twice, you got a hundred from
- 14:55Speaker 1: Blaylock twice. You start to you had something, you have potential.
- 15:00Speaker 1: But John figured out that him and and our Buck
- 15:04Speaker 1: will have to figure out how to make it work.
- 15:06Speaker 1: And they did enough, and the defense will statistically better.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Can it be better next season? Yes, the offense should
- 15:17Speaker 1: be better, which will move it up from the fifties
- 15:21Speaker 1: to the twenties or thirties. If you can get in
- 15:23Speaker 1: the thirties. The defense will stay exact same or slightly better.
- 15:27Speaker 1: The big difference you're getting this year is I think
- 15:29Speaker 1: we did upgrade in the linebacker room. We still have
- 15:34Speaker 1: the same depth, like the rotations now. Granted we don't
- 15:37Speaker 1: know what Nessa's gonna look like, and I've heard good
- 15:40Speaker 1: things about Nessa from practices that he's picking things up
- 15:45Speaker 1: like he's probably ready to go out there and take
- 15:47Speaker 1: a starting role, but he doesn't need to this year.
- 15:50Speaker 1: That's the beauty of it. Still got Kip, You're bringing
- 15:52Speaker 1: Cole Sullivan, Kip leaves Nessa moves in, Marcus James Rocks
- 15:56Speaker 1: behind him. The other young linebackers come right behind them.
- 16:00Speaker 1: That's what you're hoping for. And so you'll have a
- 16:03Speaker 1: Nesta and Sullivan linebacker room in twenty twenty seven. And
- 16:08Speaker 1: that's why Cole came here. He came here for the
- 16:10Speaker 1: development piece a playing linebacker for Brent Vnnibles like. He
- 16:14Speaker 1: could have easily went back to Michigan and he was
- 16:16Speaker 1: gonna start next year, but he decided that he wanted
- 16:19Speaker 1: to go where he felt like he'd be developed a
- 16:21Speaker 1: little bit more. There you go. So I see the
- 16:25Speaker 1: defense maintaining where it's at. It's either gonna move up
- 16:30Speaker 1: one or two spots or down one or two spots.
- 16:33Speaker 1: But I don't think it leaves out of the top
- 16:34Speaker 1: ten next season, especially with the one schedules lined up.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know we'll get into that more and
- 16:41Speaker 2: more down the road, just because we want to hear
- 16:42Speaker 2: what's what do the other teams look like? But I
- 16:45Speaker 2: mean you've got I mean, you've got a lot of
- 16:50Speaker 2: new quarterbacks, not a lot of new coaches on the schedule,
- 16:53Speaker 2: just kind of like we saw this past year, kind
- 16:56Speaker 2: of where how the schedule breaks out, Like I think
- 16:58Speaker 2: that it's not as intense as a lot of people
- 17:02Speaker 2: kind of thought it was. But you've got a lot
- 17:04Speaker 2: of young I mean, Sean just posted, you know, in
- 17:07Speaker 2: the last last comment. Uh, you know, Jacob Curry. Jacob
- 17:10Speaker 2: Curry was a guy that like O you was, Oh
- 17:13Speaker 2: you was was really really really intense about bringing here.
- 17:17Speaker 2: This guy's out there and he is going to he's
- 17:21Speaker 2: going to want to say, hey, listen, I saw what
- 17:23Speaker 2: you did with Courtland Gillery, I saw what you did
- 17:26Speaker 2: with Eli Bowen you know last year, Like I would
- 17:28Speaker 2: love to play as a freshman. And and that's that's
- 17:32Speaker 2: the big beauty about bringing in bringing in, you know,
- 17:37Speaker 2: the younger talents to go with some of the transfer
- 17:39Speaker 2: portal stuff, because there's a there's a I mean, it's
- 17:42Speaker 2: a very very fine tuned dance that you got to
- 17:44Speaker 2: do when you're bringing in transfer portal guys with mixed
- 17:48Speaker 2: with recruiting class because sometimes you could potentially scare off
- 17:53Speaker 2: a you know, a freshman who you want to develop
- 17:56Speaker 2: quickly and you know, with with a transfer portal signing.
- 18:00Speaker 2: So I mean, you got a linebacker room that's got
- 18:03Speaker 2: a lot of younger guys and a lot of guys
- 18:06Speaker 2: who I think have a very high ceiling. You know,
- 18:09Speaker 2: let's let's see what happens, because I mean, I gotta
- 18:11Speaker 2: think that your front line of David Stone with another year,
- 18:15Speaker 2: David Stone, I think you could argue was the best
- 18:19Speaker 2: defensive lineman on the team into your guy Jayden dealt
- 18:24Speaker 2: with a lot of injuries this past year, so you
- 18:26Speaker 2: want to see if we can get some rotations there.
- 18:28Speaker 2: But I think that defensive line is probably going to
- 18:31Speaker 2: be a little bit better this year. We'll see how
- 18:34Speaker 2: deep it is. Because if Ozawalu, you know, makes his jump,
- 18:40Speaker 2: some of the younger guys you know, can contribute also,
- 18:43Speaker 2: then you're right back there. You gotta think that Guillery
- 18:48Speaker 2: and uh and Bowen are going to make a jump too,
- 18:54Speaker 2: and Bowen being healthy the entire time, you know, that's
- 18:57Speaker 2: going to be a big piece. What it happens at
- 18:59Speaker 2: the samet is what happens to the linebackers those I
- 19:01Speaker 2: think that's your two spots is if the ceiling of
- 19:04Speaker 2: the linebackers and safeties elevates, then yeah, this defense can
- 19:08Speaker 2: go up in Jay, patch yourself on the back, because
- 19:11Speaker 2: with a competent offense, you don't have the defense running
- 19:15Speaker 2: out there after three and out, three and out, three
- 19:17Speaker 2: and out, three and out. So if you can put
- 19:18Speaker 2: together an offense that really minimizes the three and outs,
- 19:22Speaker 2: and we continue to use special teams like we did
- 19:24Speaker 2: this past year, where you're making teams go, you know,
- 19:27Speaker 2: eighty yards plus on drives because you know Miller's coming
- 19:31Speaker 2: back at you know, the punter. So I think that's
- 19:34Speaker 2: there's there's there's a lot of good vibes that you
- 19:38Speaker 2: could have, and there's some other teams out there that
- 19:40Speaker 2: are going we don't know who's starting on the offensive line.
- 19:44Speaker 2: We don't know who is going to be starting at
- 19:46Speaker 2: defensive line. Like we're not in that.
- 19:48Speaker 1: Spot, not at all. That's the good thing about the
- 19:51Speaker 1: way the defense. Like, if I was being honest, I
- 19:55Speaker 1: was concerned about twenty twenty seven, Like when I started
- 19:59Speaker 1: to really looking ahead and I had a videos putting together,
- 20:02Speaker 1: I was gonna go through a talk about But then
- 20:05Speaker 1: I went through my initial depth chart and players in there.
- 20:08Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it back on the screen. We talked
- 20:10Speaker 1: about this before and to kind of answer this comment
- 20:13Speaker 1: here that Sean dropped in here. JD. Jacob Curry. It
- 20:16Speaker 1: sounds like he's out there hitting them drills. Like his
- 20:19Speaker 1: athleticism is pretty ridiculous, and it's up there with ET. Now.
- 20:25Speaker 1: The question is similar to what we had with ET
- 20:27Speaker 1: was can you get the playbook down and can you
- 20:30Speaker 1: play within the flow of the defense or the offense?
- 20:33Speaker 1: That is what's most important. A lot of people don't
- 20:35Speaker 1: recognize that part. Yeah, you can be fast at getting
- 20:38Speaker 1: to the point and just be super quick, but how
- 20:41Speaker 1: do you work when you have to when others have
- 20:44Speaker 1: to rely on you to be in the right spot
- 20:46Speaker 1: on a consistent basis. That's what I mean by the flow,
- 20:49Speaker 1: And so that's why some players didn't play. Staff didn't
- 20:53Speaker 1: feel like they were good. They were ready in the
- 20:55Speaker 1: flow of the offense. Now, they weren't talented overall, but
- 20:58Speaker 1: being in the flow sometimes it's also as important as talent.
- 21:01Speaker 1: So with that, like I said, twenty twenty seven was
- 21:03Speaker 1: when I was a little concerned. But then I looked
- 21:05Speaker 1: at the roster, right like, this is the roster. I
- 21:08Speaker 1: made this. You've seen this before, we talked about it.
- 21:10Speaker 1: I haven't updated it. I'm updated soon. But looking at this,
- 21:15Speaker 1: you only see five transfers that's possibly gonna start, And
- 21:20Speaker 1: it's really the positions we needed some help at wide receiver,
- 21:24Speaker 1: tight ends, possibly on the line like Marion Harris could start,
- 21:30Speaker 1: but Ryan Voget could as well. But defensively, it's only
- 21:34Speaker 1: Cole Sullivan. That's it. That makes your boy pretty happy
- 21:40Speaker 1: to see that we are returning that. And then so
- 21:42Speaker 1: when I was talking about twenty seven and how that
- 21:44Speaker 1: was the year's a little concerned about, brother. When I
- 21:49Speaker 1: looked at the players, I'm like, wait, man, a lot
- 21:51Speaker 1: of these dudes can come back, Like you only lose
- 21:54Speaker 1: off of this defense.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Peyton Bown and Kip lewis guaranteed.
- 22:01Speaker 1: Yeah, is it guaranteed? As only as I guaranteed to leave.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Others could leave early, go pro opportunity, But you're still
- 22:08Speaker 1: in PJ. PJ is technically hit will be a senior
- 22:11Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, that's it. And I feel like our
- 22:16Speaker 1: backload of people are just fine. I think we are
- 22:22Speaker 1: good there with the rest of these players. I'm not
- 22:25Speaker 1: as concerned as I was but like you said, going
- 22:28Speaker 1: to the offensive side, Marion Harris. Have heard that he's
- 22:32Speaker 1: been testing well. Sounds like he's pretty good. Actually, Jimmy,
- 22:36Speaker 1: I think Stone and Jayson Jackson may end up being
- 22:40Speaker 1: first round potentials. I've actually heard. I think Cole Culick
- 22:42Speaker 1: said that he think that they could they get potentially
- 22:44Speaker 1: two dudes on the first round next year. And if
- 22:46Speaker 1: both of them go, we'll be riding with Bishop and
- 22:50Speaker 1: we'll be riding with Kenny Ozawalu. You'll be pushing some
- 22:55Speaker 1: of them dudes up. But besides that, the old lines
- 23:00Speaker 1: brings back just our players starts from last season twenty
- 23:04Speaker 1: six hundred snaps, which is pretty darn good. That is
- 23:09Speaker 1: heitho Zeida, Jake, michaela Ryan, Foje Fasousi, EPO. I think
- 23:13Speaker 1: we're like fifth, We're in the top ten in the
- 23:16Speaker 1: country in returning snaps overall with over six thousand, probably
- 23:22Speaker 1: one of the more experienced lines we've had since twenty
- 23:24Speaker 1: twenty three. Yeah, and these guys are still young. I'm
- 23:30Speaker 1: not upset with that whatsoever. That makes me happy. But
- 23:35Speaker 1: besides that, trail I guess is, of course he's a
- 23:41Speaker 1: testing well. Same thing with Parker Livingstone. You knew he
- 23:44Speaker 1: would and of course Materi's doing his leadership thing, and
- 23:48Speaker 1: somebody made the comment to here they don't trust Materier.
- 23:50Speaker 1: I totally understand after that injury, he was struggling, but
- 23:54Speaker 1: he was get averaging over two hundred and fifty yards
- 23:57Speaker 1: a game before he got hurt. That's against Michigan, who
- 23:59Speaker 1: had a top fifteen defense at the end of the season.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Same thing with in Auburn, who had like a top
- 24:05Speaker 1: twenty defense. He played good against those games. When he
- 24:09Speaker 1: got back healthy, we started to look healthier. At the
- 24:11Speaker 1: end of the year, He's throwing three hundred yards against
- 24:13Speaker 1: defense you're not suppost three hundred ards against. So that
- 24:16Speaker 1: being said, a summer of rest, the summer of healing,
- 24:20Speaker 1: and a summer of throwing with his receivers, he'll probably
- 24:23Speaker 1: look like the Michigan version at the beginning of the
- 24:25Speaker 1: year once again. Now he's still gotta work on his vision.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Not gonna disagree there, needs to make sure he's not
- 24:31Speaker 1: he didn't have happy feet, But I think an experienced
- 24:34Speaker 1: offensive line also would helped with not feeling like you've
- 24:37Speaker 1: got to hurry up and do anything. You could take
- 24:39Speaker 1: your time reach your progression, because he looked like that
- 24:41Speaker 1: initially in that Bama game. He was reading his progressions,
- 24:44Speaker 1: He's taking his time hitting dudes wide open. Even late
- 24:46Speaker 1: in the game, he looked good. Then this moment said
- 24:48Speaker 1: that that the blocking had some struggles and he struggled.
- 24:54Speaker 1: So I expect a better version next season. So I'm
- 24:58Speaker 1: not gonna gonna feel like that he's regrets or hell,
- 25:01Speaker 1: if he gives us what he gave at the beginning
- 25:02Speaker 1: of the year, two hundred and fifty yards a game.
- 25:04Speaker 1: If he averages that, there's three thousand yards passing in
- 25:06Speaker 1: the season, Coop, that's good.
- 25:10Speaker 2: I mean you saw, I mean you saw at the
- 25:13Speaker 2: end of the season. I mean the LSU game. You
- 25:16Speaker 2: know he's throwing for I mean, I mean, yeah, the
- 25:19Speaker 2: interceptions and the turnovers kind of hit the last two games, right,
- 25:23Speaker 2: So you got to But it's got to be it's
- 25:26Speaker 2: got to be the head. And I think that being
- 25:28Speaker 2: further away from the hands, I can promise you that
- 25:32Speaker 2: at some point in the next between now, in SEC
- 25:36Speaker 2: media days, there's probably going to be a story that
- 25:39Speaker 2: comes out about how he was not right mentally after
- 25:43Speaker 2: the hand see that. But I also think I also
- 25:47Speaker 2: think that you get him a little bit further out
- 25:49Speaker 2: of there. I think that as he sees the offense
- 25:51Speaker 2: start to kind of form around himself, he's probably going
- 25:54Speaker 2: to realize it's not all on him and he can
- 25:59Speaker 2: just be to just be free to play. Right. So, uh, well,
- 26:03Speaker 2: we'll see. I mean, yeah, if you've got doubts on
- 26:05Speaker 2: my tier, sure, I mean I think that we we
- 26:10Speaker 2: all still think about what the quarterback play looks like
- 26:15Speaker 2: when we had a Caleb Williams, when we had I
- 26:18Speaker 2: mean even Spencer Rattler, Like we like those offenses, Dylan Gabriel,
- 26:22Speaker 2: Like those offenses were disappointing when they were happening because
- 26:26Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and you're back to
- 26:31Speaker 2: the you know, in those times, you had so much
- 26:33Speaker 2: pro talent out there. You had a great and tight
- 26:36Speaker 2: end in Mark Andrews, you had carry over to Calkatara,
- 26:39Speaker 2: like you need, you need a lot of opportunity to
- 26:44Speaker 2: you got and you got to have a lot of
- 26:45Speaker 2: a lot of luck with the health. And so it's
- 26:47Speaker 2: it's not like our offensive line stocked full of like
- 26:50Speaker 2: two and three stars that you know, we're hoping continue
- 26:53Speaker 2: to grow like these are four and five star guys
- 26:56Speaker 2: that you know are going to continue to grow and
- 26:59Speaker 2: to get better and get stronger, and we're not we're
- 27:02Speaker 2: gonna be relying on guys that just don't show up
- 27:06Speaker 2: because they're hurt all the time.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the goal is to we need players are
- 27:10Speaker 1: gonna be healthy and ready to play. So good questions
- 27:13Speaker 1: in here. We're gonna jump into some of these questions
- 27:15Speaker 1: and then we're gonna talk some Senior Bowl stuff, and
- 27:17Speaker 1: then we're gonna talk staff changes because I think that
- 27:19Speaker 1: there's a possibility for staff changes as rumors floating around
- 27:22Speaker 1: all the social media is. Before we do that, though,
- 27:25Speaker 1: before we keep going, let's talk about our partners over

- 28:51Speaker 1: All right, you have some really good questions in here,
- 28:54Speaker 1: I'm gonna start playing them. Give me a second. I
- 28:58Speaker 1: want to get some footage pulled up because I know
- 29:01Speaker 1: y'all are really excited about how some of these Sooners
- 29:04Speaker 1: are performing at the Senior Bowl. So we'll talk about that.
- 29:07Speaker 1: But first off, some of the questions.
- 29:09Speaker 2: T J.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Hamilton asked the question is Bishop a red shirt senior?
- 29:14Speaker 1: So Bishop Thomas, is he a red shirt senior? If
- 29:16Speaker 1: I'm correct, he will be a red shirt senior, and
- 29:22Speaker 1: so that means he'll have one more year to truly contribute.
- 29:27Speaker 1: I think it's only one year. Let me verify though
- 29:34Speaker 1: he was at the Georgia State spot. Let me grab
- 29:37Speaker 1: him there he is.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't have a lot of updated rosters.
- 29:42Speaker 1: Yeah, not yet yet. Not yet. We're still waiting to
- 29:46Speaker 1: get word on what we'll see with the roster after
- 29:52Speaker 1: winter workouts. If I'm correct, he I think he's I
- 29:55Speaker 1: thought he was a race hert junior, and I think
- 29:59Speaker 1: he'll have like won a dish two additional years to play,
- 30:05Speaker 1: So we'll see. We'll see what that looks like. Next
- 30:11Speaker 1: question is what's the vertical on the offensive tackle, the
- 30:14Speaker 1: one that came out of the portal, which is Murray
- 30:16Speaker 1: and Harris. We talked about him. Think he's gonna be solid.
- 30:21Speaker 1: I don't know if he starts yet though. That's probably
- 30:24Speaker 1: the biggest question I have is I don't know if
- 30:26Speaker 1: he's a starter yet, Coop, what you think? I know
- 30:32Speaker 1: a lot of people think that he's gonna end up
- 30:33Speaker 1: winning the right tackle spot because he has twenty four
- 30:35Speaker 1: games of experience and a lot of snaps, like fourteen
- 30:37Speaker 1: hundred plus snaps. But do you think that he ends
- 30:40Speaker 1: up a starter over Foge and you move Foje inside.
- 30:45Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 30:46Speaker 2: I think that he I think those two are gonna
- 30:48Speaker 2: be battling for that right side. And if anybody else
- 30:50Speaker 2: wants to throw their hat in the ring, you know,
- 30:53Speaker 2: a Heathos Eida, you know somebody like that, that's gonna be.
- 30:56Speaker 2: That's what's gonna be on the table. You know his
- 30:58Speaker 2: tweet and it sounds like what the coach staff told
- 31:00Speaker 2: him was that he would be starting at tackle. But
- 31:03Speaker 2: he does have snaps at both right guard and right tackle,
- 31:07Speaker 2: so you probably you probably run that out there, and
- 31:11Speaker 2: you know fo j can play both you know that
- 31:13Speaker 2: he can play both. So they're going to fight it
- 31:17Speaker 2: out and whoever's the best fit, because I mean, I
- 31:21Speaker 2: would love to go through a season without seeing you know,
- 31:24Speaker 2: guys play three or four different positions along the offensive line.
- 31:30Speaker 2: You know, I'd I'd rather just see you start five
- 31:32Speaker 2: and God willing, you know, have the five keep going.
- 31:37Speaker 1: So that's the most important. Uh So, yeah, we'll see.
- 31:41Speaker 1: It'll be a battle. But he does bring some experience
- 31:43Speaker 1: that I do like. Uh someone asked the question about
- 31:49Speaker 1: I actually just saw it and I moved on accident,
- 31:52Speaker 1: So that's my bad. Someone asked, are the jens Row
- 31:55Speaker 1: twins on campus? Shit? Have you not been following us?
- 32:01Speaker 1: You haven't been hanging out with us? Have you? Here
- 32:03Speaker 1: you go? That's them at the top. Yeah, man, sure,
- 32:10Speaker 1: the Life subscribe the benifications. I don't know if you have.
- 32:12Speaker 1: You're you have confirmed that you're subscribed to the channel
- 32:15Speaker 1: we talked about the few times, so I gotta tease
- 32:18Speaker 1: you for that question. But yes, they are here there
- 32:20Speaker 1: you go at the top. That's them. On moving day.
- 32:24Speaker 1: There was another one. Oh yeah, you know they're lifting
- 32:27Speaker 1: all of them? Are me? I shoot? They all get
- 32:28Speaker 1: they're putting in work in the gym itself. And then
- 32:31Speaker 1: of course you have this one which I love. These
- 32:34Speaker 1: they're goofy. These are very goofy, but I thoroughly enjoy them.
- 32:39Speaker 1: Are these are these first day at school? So there
- 32:41Speaker 1: you go, my first day at ou top left corner
- 32:44Speaker 1: is one of the twins. They're always good. They're goofy,
- 32:47Speaker 1: but I like stuff like that, and I think that's
- 32:49Speaker 1: more so about a parent being a parent, right, I
- 32:52Speaker 1: like the goofy little stuff like that. But yeah, twins
- 32:56Speaker 1: are here. A lot of the players that y'all are
- 32:58Speaker 1: looking for are definitely League in town. Good questions here.
- 33:03Speaker 2: By the way, Bishop Thomas. Bishop Thomas will be one
- 33:06Speaker 2: year so this one he had.
- 33:07Speaker 1: One year left eligibility. Yes, I think you've mentioning that.
- 33:10Speaker 1: I actually just ran the found the article on him.
- 33:12Speaker 1: He brings in one more year. So Bishop will probably
- 33:15Speaker 1: rotate with probably jayde and Jackson most likely, and I
- 33:20Speaker 1: think Nigel Smith is going to be fighting with Kenny
- 33:24Speaker 1: Ozawalu for the spot right behind David Stone. Then that
- 33:29Speaker 1: mean it gives you time to get Trent Wilson up
- 33:31Speaker 1: and running, get Brian Harris, Tanker Carrington. Yeah, you able
- 33:35Speaker 1: to get those guys really acclimated to how we want
- 33:38Speaker 1: to do things, you may be able to go even deeper.
- 33:40Speaker 1: That will be a plus. Like you know, the beginning
- 33:42Speaker 1: of the season, U tip, we'll probably rotate a lot
- 33:46Speaker 1: of the young freshman should get some run, especially if
- 33:49Speaker 1: they're wait. Jacob Henry should get some run too. It's
- 33:53Speaker 1: my expectation when it comes to that, Sean ass. Do
- 33:58Speaker 1: you think Hanson will end up being the starter at
- 34:00Speaker 1: tight end? Yeah, hate Hanson is your starting tight end period.
- 34:04Speaker 1: I have zero doubt about him being the starting tight end,
- 34:07Speaker 1: specifically because he's got so many snaps and he was
- 34:12Speaker 1: really solid at Florida. Florida players didn't like him because
- 34:17Speaker 1: they didn't feel like he was able to contribute enough
- 34:19Speaker 1: in the offense. And when I talked to my guy
- 34:20Speaker 1: over at Locked On Gators, he was like, that wasn't
- 34:23Speaker 1: a function of Hayden Hanson. That was a function of
- 34:25Speaker 1: the way the offense.
- 34:26Speaker 2: Was ran and the quarterback.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Yeah, well not that, not even that. It was just
- 34:31Speaker 1: the function of how the offense was ran. They didn't
- 34:33Speaker 1: have Haydenson running down the field. They had him really
- 34:36Speaker 1: in the flats and shorter passes. And that's why you
- 34:39Speaker 1: saw a DJ Lagway throw it deep all the time
- 34:41Speaker 1: to Dallas Wilson in which he was making his catches.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Was the focal point, wasn't tight end or whatnot. Yeah,
- 34:48Speaker 1: but if you throw it in his area, right close
- 34:50Speaker 1: to his hands, and he's six eight, so you got
- 34:52Speaker 1: a lot of space, he's gonna make the catch, but
- 34:54Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be a safety net guy. And he's
- 34:56Speaker 1: a really good blocker. That's why that Jane Bob was
- 34:59Speaker 1: so darn good at running. Not only was a line solid,
- 35:02Speaker 1: but you had good tight end blocking. And to me,
- 35:04Speaker 1: that's where you're gonna probably get him to start. I
- 35:06Speaker 1: think Rocky Beers get some rum, but I don't think
- 35:09Speaker 1: he starts. I think he does rotate as a second
- 35:13Speaker 1: tight end. Uh there as well. Senior Bowl. It's been
- 35:18Speaker 1: some things pointed out here. Jimmy points this out. Yes,
- 35:22Speaker 1: jayde and not is dominating right now. I've been seeing
- 35:25Speaker 1: in these practices, much to the dismay of Sooner fans.
- 35:31Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell y'all right now, just you know,
- 35:33Speaker 1: he's fresh legs, fresh legs. The other thing is, hey man,
- 35:39Speaker 1: it just did not work out. Unfortunately. It did not
- 35:43Speaker 1: work out, But yeah, he looks good, which means he's
- 35:47Speaker 1: gonna get drafted and he's gonna be accounted for as
- 35:49Speaker 1: another Oklahoma running back in the NFL. Just sucks that
- 35:54Speaker 1: we didn't get to see that ourselves games the game, right.
- 35:58Speaker 2: I still thinks gonna be there's gonna be gms who
- 36:03Speaker 2: who are going to have those conversations with him what happened?
- 36:07Speaker 2: Like they're gonna, yeah, they're gonna say what happened, And
- 36:12Speaker 2: there's gonna be conversations that have And I think that
- 36:15Speaker 2: the coaching staff, you know, based on like what you
- 36:18Speaker 2: just said, coaching staff doesn't want any any They're not
- 36:22Speaker 2: gonna hold anything over his head or anything like that. Nope,
- 36:25Speaker 2: they're gonna say that you know thing. It just things
- 36:27Speaker 2: just didn't click, didn't work out. Uh, the running backs
- 36:30Speaker 2: are undervalued, they're I mean, they're they're going to continue.
- 36:33Speaker 2: So I mean, I think a team could pick him
- 36:35Speaker 2: up in the fifth, sixth round and that's going to
- 36:38Speaker 2: be a damn steal if he's all in yeah, And if.
- 36:41Speaker 1: He's all in yeah, yeah, this is this is.
- 36:43Speaker 2: A dude that this is a dude that can't see.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Chiefs usually pick up and then turn him into.
- 36:48Speaker 1: An All Pro running back because he's in the system.
- 36:51Speaker 1: It just works out perfectly for him. Yeah, or you
- 36:53Speaker 1: send him up there to New England to the Patriots
- 36:55Speaker 1: and have him right there with remind J Stevenson. Yeah
- 36:58Speaker 1: that that's that's the crap you're probably gonna see. I
- 37:02Speaker 1: know some people upset about it. I don't care. You win,
- 37:05Speaker 1: some you lose some of the portal that the game's
- 37:07Speaker 1: the game, So yeah, I ain't tripping, uh, but what
- 37:10Speaker 1: I am happy about is our boy here beating the
- 37:14Speaker 1: crap out of everybody. Is is Grace and Halton. He
- 37:18Speaker 1: been cooking, And that's literally all we've been hearing about
- 37:23Speaker 1: is Grace and Halton and how good he's been.
- 37:25Speaker 2: He's doing the stuff that he did well here. But
- 37:28Speaker 2: then you see you start seeing some of the comments,
- 37:32Speaker 2: Like there was one where it said like it was
- 37:35Speaker 2: him and another guy that basically they were trying to
- 37:39Speaker 2: rub off and get him, you know, get him handled
- 37:42Speaker 2: so that they could move to the next level, because
- 37:44Speaker 2: that's where the play was designed to explode, and g
- 37:48Speaker 2: Baby wouldn't have it. So I think I'm gonna try
- 37:51Speaker 2: to get his pops on for for a parent interview
- 37:54Speaker 2: and just it's done and and so is an entertaining fellow.
- 38:01Speaker 2: So well that that'll be a good one that you
- 38:03Speaker 2: don't want to miss. But yeah, we got uh, we
- 38:07Speaker 2: got some uh, I mean some more defensive linemen that
- 38:10Speaker 2: are going to start hitting. I mean this is you
- 38:14Speaker 2: R Mason and G Baby, Don Williams. I mean, those
- 38:17Speaker 2: those are guys that are you know, I think all
- 38:20Speaker 2: three are going to get drafted. So Don Williams is
- 38:24Speaker 2: only one, but you know, if he shows out and
- 38:27Speaker 2: you know the kind of anchor that he's going to be, like,
- 38:29Speaker 2: teams are going to teams are going to want to
- 38:33Speaker 2: have that defensive tackle that just takes up space. And
- 38:36Speaker 2: you're starting to see guys like Jonah Lalau. You know,
- 38:39Speaker 2: he was coached really really well in his finals finals
- 38:43Speaker 2: here and now he is one of the best defensive
- 38:46Speaker 2: linemen on the Raiders. So I mean, you gotta gotta
- 38:50Speaker 2: be pretty happy for G Baby, because this is a
- 38:52Speaker 2: guy who there were times early that he wasn't getting it.
- 38:57Speaker 2: Maybe he didn't have the maturity. I think he's I
- 39:00Speaker 2: think he's made himself a day too guy right now,
- 39:03Speaker 2: just based off of these practices.
- 39:05Speaker 1: Yeah, he's, uh, he's very much beloved right now at
- 39:10Speaker 1: senior day. I mean he's getting sacks in plays. He's
- 39:13Speaker 1: he's he's finding ways of round players. He's he's criminally underrated.
- 39:18Speaker 1: And we've talked about that here, and it's funny talking
- 39:21Speaker 1: about his dad. He had Dad's hilarious. He was. I
- 39:24Speaker 1: saw him at a game and he's like, I I
- 39:26Speaker 1: watch you all the times. I don't understand why you
- 39:27Speaker 1: always looking at the side when you be on there
- 39:29Speaker 1: talking like I don't understand that. And I'm like, Pops,
- 39:33Speaker 1: I'm the one producing everything in the background with the
- 39:35Speaker 1: videos and graphics. He's like, oh, okay, all right, I'll
- 39:39Speaker 1: let you slide this time. I'm just cracking up. I'm like,
- 39:42Speaker 1: it ain't I'm not ignoring Coop. While he's talking about
- 39:45Speaker 1: Nord John, I'm I'm adding and we're I'm usually adding
- 39:49Speaker 1: enhancements to the show while we're going, so you know,
- 39:51Speaker 1: we have to do a little extra here. You know,
- 39:53Speaker 1: we need a little bit more here to compare to
- 39:54Speaker 1: the to the competition.
- 39:56Speaker 2: And this damn thing keeps going off the entire time
- 39:59Speaker 2: that we're on show because people trying to text us
- 40:01Speaker 2: and say Hey, yeah, here, this is when this guy's
- 40:04Speaker 2: gonna commit and this is Oh he looks to be
- 40:07Speaker 2: the leader, and so it's it's it's distracting, it is distracting.
- 40:10Speaker 1: They can't be I mean, my fall is usually upside
- 40:12Speaker 1: Dwan and I have it on H, D and D mode,
- 40:14Speaker 1: So you can do.
- 40:15Speaker 2: I don't.
- 40:15Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't get I don't get
- 40:17Speaker 1: the messages like Coop does because Coop is way more
- 40:19Speaker 1: important than me. I just get a whole bunch of uh,
- 40:22Speaker 1: where's Coop messages? But no, g baby Bollin. Marvin Jones
- 40:27Speaker 1: Junior was also putting in work like he looked like
- 40:31Speaker 1: he really You can tell that where Chaves came in
- 40:38Speaker 1: there to help him. Yeah, you can tell. There was
- 40:44Speaker 1: so much excite, excitement that I've heard from people seeing
- 40:47Speaker 1: people talk about him on UH at the Senior Bowl
- 40:52Speaker 1: like he he people are like, oh, I think he's
- 40:55Speaker 1: gonna be he has a chance of jumping up a
- 40:58Speaker 1: lot further and yeah, you think.
- 41:01Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, I forget about Marvin. I mean,
- 41:05Speaker 2: he looks healthy. He looks like he has got a
- 41:07Speaker 2: spring in his step, and he looks like he looks
- 41:11Speaker 2: like he really prepared for for this very very well.
- 41:17Speaker 2: So again that's a that's another guy. So if you
- 41:19Speaker 2: can get four defensive lineman drafted, I mean, you know,
- 41:22Speaker 2: we looked at what twenty seven looks like. You know,
- 41:25Speaker 2: if David Stone Jayden Jackson get cited as first round
- 41:28Speaker 2: draft picks, you're going to have somebody that is willing
- 41:32Speaker 2: to get in the transfer portal to come and let
- 41:36Speaker 2: Todd Bates, you know, coach mob You also throw in
- 41:40Speaker 2: potentially Taylor you know, for Taylor Wine next year. So
- 41:42Speaker 2: I mean that's three more guys along the defensive line
- 41:46Speaker 2: that are going to be in the NFL. So if
- 41:49Speaker 2: you put seven guys on the defensive line in the
- 41:52Speaker 2: NFL this year and next year, you're I mean, that's
- 41:55Speaker 2: where you start seeing more of the five star like
- 41:57Speaker 2: David Stone pop up. David Stone is a Sooner because
- 42:00Speaker 2: he is an Oklahoma guy. We won the Battle of
- 42:03Speaker 2: Jaden Jackson. They developed that great relationship. But you're gonna
- 42:06Speaker 2: start seeing those things kind of pop through because seven
- 42:09Speaker 2: guys in two years would be pretty impressive.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Hecks. Yeah, And that just it's a testament to how
- 42:15Speaker 1: well this STAF works and how well this staff does
- 42:18Speaker 1: with not only recruiting but also developing players. So truth
- 42:22Speaker 1: be told, I think we can expect more players to
- 42:27Speaker 1: get drafted. There's some questions around first any first or
- 42:30Speaker 1: second rounders. I don't know. I'm gonna be honest. Moversenter
- 42:34Speaker 1: one to nine, I don't know. I think our Mason
- 42:39Speaker 1: Thomas was He was mocked to the first round a
- 42:43Speaker 1: few times in a few different mocks, most of the
- 42:46Speaker 1: consistent ones. I guess the average I've seen him is
- 42:49Speaker 1: around like forty to fifty, so I anticipated him to
- 42:53Speaker 1: be around sixty. G baby, top one hundred is what
- 42:57Speaker 1: I've seen, So there's a possibility second round for him,
- 42:59Speaker 1: maybe third. Marvin Jones is probably gonna be a late rounder,
- 43:03Speaker 1: even though he has the measurables to go earlier. Somebody
- 43:05Speaker 1: may actually take a flyer on him early. Yeah, I
- 43:12Speaker 1: think that's really it if I'm really thinking about it.
- 43:15Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I Roberts, you.
- 43:18Speaker 1: Know, Ross Jennings is probably day two, day three guy.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I mean, that's that's what I feel. Uh,
- 43:29Speaker 2: you know, going into this one. What sucks is again
- 43:32Speaker 2: Gentry Williams injury history, because I mean he was being
- 43:35Speaker 2: slated as a first round top of a guy he
- 43:38Speaker 2: really won two years ago and hopefully he can go
- 43:41Speaker 2: stay healthy and put good, good film up there. And
- 43:44Speaker 2: because I think that he's a guy on Monday Night
- 43:46Speaker 2: football probably is going to rotate in and out from
- 43:49Speaker 2: you know Boomer sooner and you know, the final, the
- 43:53Speaker 2: final resting place there. But I don't think we'll see
- 43:56Speaker 2: a first round guy unless I mean it's makes one.
- 44:01Speaker 2: It takes one person to to draft you. And yes
- 44:06Speaker 2: there's you know if you have uh, I mean, what
- 44:08Speaker 2: are we gonna have is the Seahawks and uh, the
- 44:12Speaker 2: the Patriots back in the Super Bowl. Well, I can
- 44:15Speaker 2: I can promise you this the Patriots or Mason Thomas
- 44:19Speaker 2: to be a good Patriot. I think he'd be a
- 44:22Speaker 2: really really good Patriot. You saw also down there with
- 44:26Speaker 2: you know Los Angeles the Rams. I mean they're gonna
- 44:29Speaker 2: need defense line. So if you can get one of
- 44:32Speaker 2: those situations, I mean that that's great.
- 44:35Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good spot. That's a good spot that
- 44:37Speaker 1: you would love to get your hands on and check out. So, uh,
- 44:40Speaker 1: next question that popped in, which is a good one.
- 44:43Speaker 1: Agents I may have missed it, but what's the word
- 44:46Speaker 1: on coach j Full appreciate you. Well, we're gonna jump
- 44:49Speaker 1: into that. Before we do that, though, we're gonna shout
- 44:51Speaker 1: out of partners there at sleep. We're gonna make a
- 44:52Speaker 1: couple of picks. If you ain't check them out the
- 44:54Speaker 1: Daily Fantasy Botto John May, y'all missing out one thing
- 44:57Speaker 1: that I also have used them for. As well as
- 45:00Speaker 1: they're more than just season long fantasy, they're more than
- 45:02Speaker 1: just daily fantasy because I've gotten updates and notifications about
- 45:06Speaker 1: the transfer, portal, coaching changes, NFL, NBA, you name anything
- 45:09Speaker 1: you would subscribe to. They've got a lot of that stuff.
- 45:12Speaker 1: And today he's a promo code unfair. They will match
- 45:15Speaker 1: your first depots at one hundred percent up to one
- 45:16Speaker 1: hundred dollars. And one of the things you do get
- 45:18Speaker 1: out of them is they've got promos going on in
- 45:20Speaker 1: the daily fantasy stuff like right now college basketball one
- 45:24Speaker 1: hundred percent boosts on five plus more if you know
- 45:26Speaker 1: this game, jump into it. Same thing with NBA three
- 45:28Speaker 1: plus on the NBA you get a forty percent boost.
- 45:31Speaker 1: So we're gonna do that. We're gonna look at some
- 45:32Speaker 1: of the NBA games, but Thunder is not playing unfortunately.
- 45:34Speaker 1: But I'm darn, Su're gonna take a little bit and
- 45:36Speaker 1: see me. They won't let me take Win Biyama because
- 45:39Speaker 1: he's that other promo, but darn shall gonna take Kevin Durant.
- 45:42Speaker 1: I'll take Victor getting a double double because that's just
- 45:45Speaker 1: what Victor does. Give me some of mean Thomas. I'm
- 45:49Speaker 1: gonna do less on the thirteen and a half because
- 45:51Speaker 1: that's just how I feel right now. Our friend saying youn,
- 45:55Speaker 1: he's probably nah we gonna touch him because he I
- 45:59Speaker 1: can't him on the promo, But LaMelo ball, he's been balling.
- 46:02Speaker 1: He's gonna be fun. Same thing with Anthony Edwards. Pick
- 46:06Speaker 1: two or more players on that promo, three or more,
- 46:08Speaker 1: more or less on the stats, and yeah, turn his
- 46:11Speaker 1: game day into payday. Use the promo code unfair the
- 46:14Speaker 1: match your first one hundred undred dollars. Terms and conditions apply.
- 46:17Speaker 1: See Sleeper's terms of use for details. Thank you all
- 46:20Speaker 1: for pulling up the light button. If you new to
- 46:22Speaker 1: the channel, subscribe rate review, give us five stars. Coop
- 46:25Speaker 1: the boards the interwebs. I actually think there was a
- 46:28Speaker 1: post about this not too long ago flying around but
- 46:32Speaker 1: one of our beloved coaches it's being poached it appears
- 46:41Speaker 1: that Jayvely, our dB coach, is getting phone calls right
- 46:48Speaker 1: now from one school, Notre Dame, to potentially become a coach. Now,
- 46:54Speaker 1: they are vetting a lot of coaches right now, so
- 46:58Speaker 1: there's not like an ants completely. But Mike Mickens, the
- 47:02Speaker 1: former dB coach there, I think he went to the
- 47:04Speaker 1: NFL if I'm correct, Yeah, yeah, he went to the Ravens.
- 47:10Speaker 1: He's headed to the Ravens and because of that, they
- 47:13Speaker 1: now have a dB coach position open. Well, some of
- 47:16Speaker 1: the folks within the cord pointed something out that I
- 47:21Speaker 1: didn't realize with Vali in this situation. Notre Dame's defensive
- 47:24Speaker 1: coordinator is Chris ash He was the dB coach at
- 47:27Speaker 1: Wisconsin when Javia Lai was a dB. There a safety
- 47:30Speaker 1: there actually, so they have a relationship. And I know
- 47:33Speaker 1: Javelai has aspirations to be a defensive coordinator one day.
- 47:38Speaker 1: This may be his best opportunity to get a chance
- 47:42Speaker 1: to actually coordinate. So do I think he takes the
- 47:46Speaker 1: job if it happens, Yeah, I'm gonna say yes. I
- 47:49Speaker 1: think that he may take the job to be able
- 47:52Speaker 1: to become a DC. Do I think it hurts us no,
- 47:57Speaker 1: So I think Javali's phenomenal as recruiting, but I know
- 48:01Speaker 1: he had some great people around him, and I think
- 48:04Speaker 1: we'll be fine. Coop what you.
- 48:05Speaker 2: Think, Yeah, I mean, I'll probably line up directly with
- 48:09Speaker 2: you on that one. I don't want to see Javali leave.
- 48:12Speaker 2: He has, he's he's he's moved quite quite a bit,
- 48:16Speaker 2: quite a bit right now. I would assume Notre Dame's
- 48:20Speaker 2: probably tossing out code defensive coordinator type of titles for him,
- 48:25Speaker 2: you know, passing game defensive coordinator or whatever. There's going
- 48:28Speaker 2: to be some kind of a title. I don't think that.
- 48:33Speaker 2: I don't think that Valai is going to just take
- 48:37Speaker 2: a direct parallel move. He's not going to just go
- 48:40Speaker 2: to Notre Dame to have the exact same spot that
- 48:42Speaker 2: he has here. So they're gonna have to promise him,
- 48:45Speaker 2: which obviously comes with a little bit more money. So
- 48:47Speaker 2: I don't know, well he the former coach was making
- 48:52Speaker 2: but you know, we we do hope see it. There's
- 48:55Speaker 2: been Javali has done a great job, and we've had
- 48:59Speaker 2: great defensive backs coming in here. You see the progression
- 49:02Speaker 2: of guys like Eli Bowen, you see you know, Jacoby
- 49:06Speaker 2: Johnson has has progressed. So yeah, I mean you gotta
- 49:10Speaker 2: hope that that he does stick around. But if he
- 49:15Speaker 2: does leave, I know that we're going to get somebody
- 49:18Speaker 2: else there. I think this staff is great as a whole,
- 49:22Speaker 2: but if he wants to be here, he'll be here exactly.
- 49:26Speaker 1: And to answer the question, Jimmy, he can't take anybody
- 49:28Speaker 1: with him because the portals closed. Yeah, the only time
- 49:31Speaker 1: the portal opens is if your head coach leaves, then
- 49:34Speaker 1: say anything about position coaches. So there'd be no way
- 49:36Speaker 1: for nobody to go anywhere this year if they decide
- 49:38Speaker 1: to follow him next year, For power to you, we
- 49:40Speaker 1: may have another dB coach in that we bring in
- 49:45Speaker 1: that takes over and brings in talent with him as well. Possibly,
- 49:49Speaker 1: but yeah, there's no there's no opening for anybody to
- 49:53Speaker 1: be able to go anywhere because without a yeah, without
- 50:00Speaker 1: without the head coach leaving, coordinators leave all they want.
- 50:04Speaker 1: Position coach can leave all they want. That doesn't open
- 50:06Speaker 1: the portal for them. The only thing the portal opens
- 50:08Speaker 1: for its head coaches, and that's for termination or taking
- 50:10Speaker 1: other jobs. So yeah, if Ali goes, I'll drop a
- 50:17Speaker 1: thug tier because we appreciate his contributions in what he
- 50:20Speaker 1: did here, but do I think it changed anything? No,
- 50:27Speaker 1: So yeah, that's kind of my thoughts on Vale. Now
- 50:32Speaker 1: if we go big board, there's more to talk about
- 50:35Speaker 1: when it comes to big board there if we want
- 50:38Speaker 1: to look at other people. But I do know that
- 50:40Speaker 1: the Board of Regents do meet to what's today the
- 50:45Speaker 1: twenty eight So tomorrow the twenty ninth, they meet the
- 50:48Speaker 1: twenty ninth and the thirtieth, and that is where you're
- 50:52Speaker 1: going to see a lot of contract changes. And it
- 50:57Speaker 1: appears that we are actually going to be busy on
- 51:00Speaker 1: that front looking at it. George Stoyer shot out to
- 51:05Speaker 1: him over there at school points out on this. Let
- 51:08Speaker 1: me pull this up for y'all to look at. It's
- 51:10Speaker 1: really boring and it's not fun to look at. I'm
- 51:13Speaker 1: just gonna tell you all right now, so don't get all,
- 51:16Speaker 1: you know, excited about seeing this legal document. So, yeah,
- 51:25Speaker 1: there is a lot of names. It's gonna be populating.
- 51:31Speaker 1: So contracts is gonna be on there. Jason Wittens will
- 51:34Speaker 1: be on there. So we'll wait to see his approval
- 51:35Speaker 1: and we'll find out what he's gonna quote unquote make
- 51:38Speaker 1: Bates and beaten Bow are up as well as Miguel Chaves,
- 51:41Speaker 1: Doug Deacon, Nate Dryling. Sounds like he's gonna get some
- 51:44Speaker 1: changes to his as well, Brandon Hall, EMMITTT Jones, which
- 51:48Speaker 1: his contract actually ends on the thirty first, so it
- 51:51Speaker 1: looks like his extension will be happening, Kuzievski and Volat.
- 51:54Speaker 1: All of them will get updated contracts, Thank goodness, bless you.
- 52:00Speaker 1: Uh so all of those will be ready for new
- 52:06Speaker 1: extensions or additional expenise like Dryland was. I think he
- 52:09Speaker 1: had a two year deal and I thought he was
- 52:11Speaker 1: the twenty seven, but they may actually extend him out
- 52:13Speaker 1: even more adam additional year because of how well he's
- 52:16Speaker 1: done with these linebackers, and find a way to hang
- 52:19Speaker 1: on to him, maybe give him like an additional title.
- 52:22Speaker 1: Somebody mentioned they wondered if Wes Goodwin would be one
- 52:27Speaker 1: that could potentially leave. And I don't see Wes taking
- 52:30Speaker 1: another job for another year if he decides to leave.
- 52:34Speaker 1: And I say that because when he was fired from
- 52:36Speaker 1: Clemson without cause, they owe him three point one million dollars.
- 52:42Speaker 1: So he's getting one point five last year he got one, well,
- 52:45Speaker 1: he got one point three last year instead of the
- 52:47Speaker 1: full one point five because we were paying him two
- 52:49Speaker 1: hundred and he's got his one point five coming instead
- 52:53Speaker 1: of the one point seven one point six. He had
- 52:55Speaker 1: his one point four coming this year because we're paying
- 52:58Speaker 1: two hundred. Says no one, no, no, no reason whatsoever whatnot.
- 53:02Speaker 1: But so Robert, no, there is no portal. There's no
- 53:04Speaker 1: opening a new portal. That rule is not gonna happen.
- 53:08Speaker 1: Good luck. Players can try that, they can try to sue.
- 53:11Speaker 1: They're gonna that one. That's a guaranteed loss in the courts.
- 53:15Speaker 1: They're not winning that one.
- 53:17Speaker 2: You're starting to see the guys that trying to trying
- 53:19Speaker 2: to bounce out, like these teams are saying, I'll screw this,
- 53:22Speaker 2: We're done with this mess. Like there's that's gonna happen.
- 53:25Speaker 2: I mean, you're gonna have somebody who hops in the portal.
- 53:27Speaker 2: But I would also point out too that you've got
- 53:30Speaker 2: a sophomore and a let's see here that starting defensive
- 53:37Speaker 2: backs a freshman. Dallas Golden was a freshman, and Leonard Moore,
- 53:42Speaker 2: who led the team with five interceptions I think he had.
- 53:47Speaker 2: I mean, those guys are young, so I mean, if
- 53:49Speaker 2: you're going to follow Faly to be a backup somewhere else, Like,
- 53:54Speaker 2: you're not taking a starting job. And I don't think
- 53:58Speaker 2: that's Eli Bowen going to leave. Courtland Gilroy you know
- 54:02Speaker 2: he's not leaving, So yeah, nobody's nobody's leaving.
- 54:06Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't think any of the players are
- 54:07Speaker 1: going anywhere. They're starting corners, no reason for anybody to
- 54:10Speaker 1: actually try to think about balance and or whatnot, right,
- 54:13Speaker 1: So yeah, it's gonna be interesting. I'm ready to see
- 54:17Speaker 1: what I'm ready to see what Roger Denny gets and
- 54:23Speaker 1: the title changes and everything. But there's also another staff
- 54:26Speaker 1: member that's being added in from Illinois on the strength side.
- 54:35Speaker 1: Did you see that Coop?
- 54:36Speaker 2: Yeah, the name, Oh I just added up.
- 54:43Speaker 1: I literally just had the name and I completely didn't
- 54:46Speaker 1: the leaded it a minute ago on accident. That was
- 54:50Speaker 1: one hundred percent of accident on my part. But it
- 54:53Speaker 1: sounds like we're bringing in some more strength coaches. Yeah,
- 55:00Speaker 1: James Dobson's staff, and I think Roger Denny kind of
- 55:03Speaker 1: helped with bringing somebody in from Illinois. And we'll see
- 55:06Speaker 1: what that looks like. But I think the one fun
- 55:09Speaker 1: thing that we need to drive into now is recruiting
- 55:13Speaker 1: because Coople'll say this. I don't know if you remember this,
- 55:24Speaker 1: but we still in the regular season own ownership stake
- 55:28Speaker 1: in the state of Alabama still got it. Bama chipping
- 55:32Speaker 1: away at it. It chipped away at it with the win
- 55:34Speaker 1: in the playoffs to where they could get some of
- 55:36Speaker 1: their ownership back. We still owned a lot of that though.
- 55:38Speaker 1: Right Yes, recruiting sounds like that is all but confirmed. Still,
- 55:45Speaker 1: so let's talk about that. Thank you all for pulling up.
- 55:47Speaker 1: Hit the like button you new to the channel, Survive
- 55:50Speaker 1: subscribe if you're listening on the audio version, survive as well.
- 55:54Speaker 1: Because it's it's cold ray review give us five stars.
- 56:02Speaker 1: Predictions have gone in for some players cool.
- 56:06Speaker 2: This class is uh got the chance of being pretty special.
- 56:11Speaker 1: Yep. So for the uninitiated, the staff is right now
- 56:17Speaker 1: in Alabama for the Senior Bowl, which is perfect right.
- 56:27Speaker 1: That means they're gonna go see some people.
- 56:35Speaker 2: There's right, there's there's a couple of Bama kids too
- 56:39Speaker 2: that uh guys that reside in Alabama. That's two players
- 56:44Speaker 2: in Mobile, Alabama that we decide to go visit that.
- 56:47Speaker 1: It sounds like we've got ourselves a nice in on
- 56:54Speaker 1: one is the quarterback Jameson Roberts. Sounds like he's right.
- 57:00Speaker 1: They're at the cuffs of making a change and or
- 57:08Speaker 1: making a decision, and it sounds like Oklahoma has a
- 57:11Speaker 1: good shot of snatching him up. He's number one on
- 57:13Speaker 1: the list, but he ain't the only one because along
- 57:17Speaker 1: with him, do you have a couple of predictions that
- 57:21Speaker 1: went in from Sam Spiegelman as well as Chad Simmons
- 57:28Speaker 1: from On three for j the safety Jalen Scott, four star,
- 57:32Speaker 1: top one hundred and sixty player in the country. Everybody's
- 57:37Speaker 1: winning predictions that Oklahoma's gonna win this recruiting battle. How
- 57:41Speaker 1: do you feel about this kid, Coop.
- 57:46Speaker 2: Well, let's start with start with Scott. I mean, this
- 57:50Speaker 2: is a name that they've been after for quite a
- 57:52Speaker 2: long time. You know, typically typically when you see some
- 57:57Speaker 2: of the bigger guys like uh, you know, Spiegelman go in.
- 58:00Speaker 2: You know, we've mentioned this before, like you're going to
- 58:02Speaker 2: have the national guys and then you're going to have
- 58:06Speaker 2: then you're gonna have more like the regional guys like
- 58:08Speaker 2: Josh McChristian is going to cover more stuff, you know
- 58:11Speaker 2: for Oklahoma. So if it's a battle, you know, somewhere
- 58:13Speaker 2: around there. I mean this you just continue. I mean
- 58:17Speaker 2: it's continued to stack in safeties. You know, six six
- 58:21Speaker 2: ft tall, one hundred and sixty pounds. You know, he's
- 58:23Speaker 2: still a little on the slight and light side. I
- 58:27Speaker 2: think he was there right there.
- 58:30Speaker 1: He hits.
- 58:32Speaker 2: Is where you go away is just a number, just
- 58:35Speaker 2: like the age, right, But dude, dude is pretty athletic. Again,
- 58:40Speaker 2: he's probably seventeen years old, so you know he's still
- 58:45Speaker 2: going to have some I mean, he's physical. He I
- 58:50Speaker 2: mean he he, he just hits the ship out of people.
- 58:53Speaker 2: So I'm pretty excited about him. I can't remember what
- 58:57Speaker 2: number in the what what is his ranking?
- 59:01Speaker 1: He is a four star, top one hundred, and he's
- 59:05Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty first in Rivals Industry rankings. I
- 59:08Speaker 1: think two four seven has him as a top one
- 59:14Speaker 1: hundred hundred and fifty three. So he's a top fifteen
- 59:17Speaker 1: sixteen safety, top one hundred and base off two hundred
- 59:21Speaker 1: player in the country. Can't beat that. ESPN hasn't rated
- 59:25Speaker 1: it top two hundred as well, one hundred eighty three.
- 59:29Speaker 1: So yeah, he's a pretty highly rated kid. He's one
- 59:31Speaker 1: of the uped he could think.
- 59:33Speaker 2: Thus that's what it is he's he's going to continue
- 59:35Speaker 2: to rise because I'm guessing that you know, by the
- 59:37Speaker 2: time he would get here, you're looking one to seventy five,
- 59:40Speaker 2: you know, one eighties something like that, Like you need
- 59:42Speaker 2: to get some weight on the boys. Still, he probably
- 59:45Speaker 2: could still grow a little bit too. But I mean,
- 59:48Speaker 2: he looks like Ed Reid as a ballhawk, but Sean
- 59:52Speaker 2: Taylor as a hitter, Like he just looks like he
- 59:55Speaker 2: can absolutely flat out play. And so Coach Hall just
- 59:59Speaker 2: he he knows, he knows what he wants, and his
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: eVols have been pretty spot on.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: He's the only one my own question. Really, I really
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: don't question what what Hall wants. Like, I'm ready to
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: see Ford. I'm ready to see what Mark L. Ford's
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: gonna look like to go along with everybody else. I mean,
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: you saw you see Powers, you see uh Bowlanowski, you
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: know man, man, you see the players, You're like, Okay,
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: these guys gonna be some dudes. This is another one
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: that I think you add him to the list. Yeah,
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: Oklahoma knew what they were doing chasing this one. They
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: knew exactly what they were doing chasing that one. And
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: then of course James Roberts tall quarterback, like like when
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: I sliked at the picture of him, because I don't
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: know if y'all realize this, but Ben r buckles tall
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: like he's a legitimate six or fourth quarterback. Jameson's right there, bye,
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: I mean he's taller in BV and BV. I think
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: it's six one six too, so he's about six three ish. Actually,
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: I think Ben maybe six' five now think about. It
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: so he's. Tall we haven't had a really tall quarterback since.
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: Who landry? PROBABLY i Mean LANDRY i think was LIKE
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: i think he was listed at six. THREE i would
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: be surprised if he wasn't. Taller can't.
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: Remember let me, see le me go Look Landry. Jones
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: landry is lest listed a six Foot i'm six foot.
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: Four he's listed as six foot, Four so he's the
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: tallest one we've had since With Sam bradford. Probably. Yeah
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: everybody else was short Like jalen same thing With kyler
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: Hurts it. Hurts Baker caleb was six one six, two still. Shorter. Uh,
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: yeah we haven't a six four.
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: Dealer like six. Yeah, NO i mean he's a big
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: guy now his tallest being tall doesn't mean. ANYTHING i,
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: mean if you are an old. Head, uh you got
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: dudes who fell out of, Trucks Brent, Rawls Tommy. Grady
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: we had a lot of, big tall guys that Just.
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: BOMAR i Think Pete bomer was only six one six.
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: TWO i think he swore he.
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: WAS i could have, sworn but you might be. Right
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: But i'm. Curious let me look him. Up i'm really
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: curious to the Former Big.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: Red, Sports Big Red sports And. Imports six six.
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: Two and a quarter is what THE nfl had him listed.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: AS i trust.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: It's not five.
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: Nine, no it's not five to. Nine THE nfl actually
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: put that. OUT i kind of feel bad For Diggle
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: pobby on, that BUT i, mean, no you put on
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: cleats if he he's five to, eleven.
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: Well, ship IF i wear, Still i'm seven foot. Tall.
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: Fair i'm just, saying when you when you make yourself
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: a spectacle and you're, abrasive stuff like this happens and
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: you gotta eat. IT i, mean you got to sit
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: there and you got to eat your blank sandwich because
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: you you helped may of the bread. Up SO i, mean,
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: AH i.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: Disagree he ain't he? Done HE i mean he's saying
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: anybody his, height he's gout.
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: There, no, no, No i'm just saying he was loud for,
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: people give rest and how great he. Was, NOW i
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: don't think people should just be bombing all over. Him
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: and he's still probably gonna make it call AN nfl.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: Team, unfortunately he'll make. ONE i, mean at his, height
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: it's going to be a struggle for him to stick.
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: AROUND i think for me is, though he did finish
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: second in The, heisman so it's not. MUCH i MEAN
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: i could clown him and, say, yeah you're five to.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: Nine he did finished second in The heisman. Voting that's
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: my he.
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: Made, right he made more money this year Than i've
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: ever made it in a. Year so, yeah he bawled.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: Out Give i'll give him. That but you're right, right
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: it's it's, yeah if he was gonna clown, you, bro,
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: bro these guys are remind. Him, WELL i, mean what
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: was a second in The heisman's all you? Got but
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: it's funny that everybody's heights are always embellished until they
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: actually get, there except for like defensive. Players it feels
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: like they're the ones that aren't really especially defensive. Line
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: they feel like they're the only ones true to HYPE
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: i don't.
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: Get sometimes maybe the. Height, Yeah LIKE i still REMEMBER
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: i Think Klayis campbell was listed At. MIAMI i think
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: he was listed at something like six foot five and
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: then he goes to the Damn combine he's like six'
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: EIGHT and i remember just Going WHAT and, i mean
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: dude is just an absolute. Just monster, BUT yeah i
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: mean it's, it's crazy like if your quarterback says, six'
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: three he's probably six two or six' one and five eighths.
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: Or something like that and if they're listening him at six,
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: foot tall in college you know he. Ain't, six foot.
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: Tall, no not at. All not at All no one.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: Else i've seen too i've also seen his funny The Conspiracy,
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: theories around kevin durant like they're trying to people are
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: trying to say that he's like legit seven TO one
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: and the nba is so they're just gonna listen to
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: him as six foot, nine and he towers he towers,
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: over all these players or he's like saying in neck
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: And Neck, with like dwight howard or he's very he's Standing.
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: Back next to shack they trying to make sure they.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: Don't stand too close to Give it away and i'm
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: Just cracking, up and i'm like but. YOU might be
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: right i think he may. Actually be that Tall i've
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: actually heard winby's taller than what. They got him listed
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: they just trying, not To scare people, and i'm just
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: like but what's that, would be weird though if You
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: find out that wenby is, literally seven foot eight that
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: would BE weird now that i, THINK about, it.
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: More, i mean he grew he. Grew this past year you.
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: Had to. Have Dog He's young but kalays campbell's. That's
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: a funny story that, is think about that good lord
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: six' eight, horrified.
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: It's fun i mean? What, do they, have him yeah.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: Six eight three fifteen.
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: Geez it Feels like he would be finn too at three.
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: Fifteen because he's six eight, but at The Same Time,
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: looking at murray marion harris he's six he's six seven
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: and he's three hundred and some change and he looks like.
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: He's A Gin normous dude key wall.
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: Kenny got a. Damn sep.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: Six pack, defensive it's terrifying?
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: That's like what's his Name Just Retired, from the aaron donald.
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: Like you're you're a terminator, You're not a football player.
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: You're a gosh, DARN terminator so, but yeah i Mean.
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: Legitimately it's.
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: Poor poor. Diego just it's so.
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: Funny it's, it's just hilarious it's funny like we're gonna laugh.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: At it because it's hilarious it's a. Very Hilarious, THING
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: with that but okay i think that's really it that.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: Uh's to really, dive.
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: In let's you know kind of put talking. ABOUT the
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: twenty seven class i think that, there's a, really good
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: chance you know you're not going to end up. WITH
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: a five star quarterback i think that most of the.
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: Big quarterbacks are already taken you're going after. A guy
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: Who You want you've got cooper. Hackett As a five
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: star cayden penny he Just, got AN offer from georgia
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: where I don't think that that's i, don't THINK he's
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: going anywhere and i think that's obviously just something. For
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: him to talk About I'm still not sure caanen penny.
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: IS the Better Offensive lineman i think cooper, hackett's GOT
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: the Better Ceiling but i think cayden penny would be,
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: the first, one to start you know when. They make
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: it to campus you've got so many OTHER guys on
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: here that i think that you're. Going to see as
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: Risers plus the way that naggie's been, REALLY looking at
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: these things i would venture to say this is this
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: class probably with all the, great all the great evals
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: this is going to be a top ten class and
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: with a good shot, at THE top five class and
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: i think could be the most Productive Class to come
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: into owe you. In quite, a long time like, so the.
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: Future is very very bright and then we mentioned at
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: the beginning of the show talking about, if you, can
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: put seven you know, defensive linemen in the league over,
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: the next couple of years you get back to putting
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: some of. These, offensive linemen In here uh you're gonna
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: you're you're starting to see more and more of these
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: defenders who. Are higher, in the RANKINGS you. KNOW LOOK
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: at o you i i think this class is going, To,
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: be pretty damn special jay because you're Still Yet, to,
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: Maybe Get, case alexander uh cooper whitten, who's the Number,
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: one linebacker You, Get roberts you get scott you're in
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: on a lot. Of really really good GUYS and, again
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: with one o five there's probably still people on the
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: roster that will get uh volunteld to go Take a look.
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: In the, france for portal next year you're also going
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: to lose a little bit more from from, some of,
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: the younger guys, you Know Becoming. Draft Eligible like david
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: stone so i'm this is gonna be a fun class
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: to watch come in and we could see in. THE
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: year of twenty eight i, think that, we could, see
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: you know a young really really really hungry and very.
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: Talented team on the field.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: Twenty seven class is gonna be interesting because it's basically
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: a confirmation of negative recruiting got us in twenty six because.
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: We had to prove ourselves we did it here in,
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: twenty five in the season you get to, the, playoffs,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: and they're, like oh okay never mind he showed up
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: that defense. And it's continued to, improve and now twenty, six,
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: THOSE guys are like yeah i want to GET in
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: on THAT because i think that i can be the.
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: Difference maker here we are this class is right now,
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: is third on, one side first on another just depends,
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: on who you're looking at and they're battling for some
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: more and that's kind of where the twenty seven team
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: made me nervous was because if we're going this heavy
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: in on a, lot of the top players they're expecting.
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: Depth to start to drop but bringing in these players
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: can sure up the depth because Nowadays you're gonna have
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: to you're gonna get younger and younger with us in THE,
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: TOO deep because of nil a lot of these backups
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: know they. CAN go start somewhere else a lot of
