• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a little off kilter as usually, what's going.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: On hey, man, Yeah, it does. It feels like I
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: was logging into the studio and uh, I was like, man,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: what do I need to do here? I gotta plug
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: this in and I gotta find a bluetooth, and you know,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: obviously life has been life and travel with you. You know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: kind of been hitting it pretty hard here recently. But
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: as always, as Tony Stark says beginning of Iron Man two,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: it's going to be back.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: It's great to be back. And yeah, it's been a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I've it's been. It's been a few weeks. I have
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: one more big trip coming up mid month, around spring break. Uh,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: my kids are both my kids are graduating high school
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and college, so I am on the I got a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: lot of crap going on. But after that we'll be
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: back up and running to our old ways of doing things.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I think I'll disappear around Memorial Day. I'm gonna take
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: probably two weeks off there, and then we'll be back
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to full speed June and July like we always are.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So thank you for always pulling. I think you're supporting us.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It is gonna be a fun. We gotta have some
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: fun today because Cooper I want to talk about it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I know that the biggest one, the big fish dropped,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and we didn't get to really talk about it here.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I did a video while I was in while I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: was down in Atlanta for work and me and you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: didn't really get to talk heavy about it. But we
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: landed Cooper witting Man. I was wondering if it was
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: gonna happen, and we did. How do you feel about it?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously I've shared, you know, in the past,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: my son's name is Witten Cooper, and so whenever the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: whenever you know, you saw his name, Yeah, twelve months ago,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you saw this as a well, I mean, it's cool
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: that we're in the running for this, and you know
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: it's because of the relationship that you know, Jason and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: DeMarco have and so that's why we're being mentioned. But
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody knew that this was Tennessee all the way,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and then it just continues to progress, and it, you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you see like on the prediction,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you know, percentages a little bit more ou and then
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: obviously the bombshell with Jason Witten being signed up as
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the tight ends coach, and everybody was like, all right, well,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: it's a done deal. He's coming here. I'm under the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: impression that part of the reason why they're both here
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: is because they both had really good interest in being here,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And that may be redundant or kind of a well
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: of course, but like I really do think I think
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: that one of the big reasons why Jason Witten decided
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to leave our guyle come up here be the coach,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: you know, take this type of eliad has a lot
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to do with the fact that Cooper's interest in playing
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: here as a linebacker under Brent Fennibles. Because again, I
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: don't know if there's I mean, you can have arguments
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that there's a better linebackers coach in the country, but
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you're still going against It's like, is Lebron better than Jordan?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Like I don't think so, but he's good enough to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: have that argument. Is Kobe is Kobe? You know? But
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: because it's nobody is saying, nobody is saying is Jordan
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: as good as Lebron? That's why you know that Jordan
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: is the goat. So I digress. But coming back here
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: is you know, this is great. You know, there was
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of people wondering, well, now that he's you know,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: now that Jason's here, is is Cooper gonna come up
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: you know, up north, I you know, maybe place ball
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: up here. You know, he announced that he was going
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to stay down in Argyle. You know, obviously things can
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: always change, but this is a big name. I mean,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: he is a big time linebacker. We haven't seen a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: lot of like really literally top echelon linebackers committing to
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: coach Venables up to this point. Uh, you know, he
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: had Danny Stutzman, Kip Lewis, Kobe olm Sego, you know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the Crimson Missile, Lewis Carter, like You've You've had Marcus James,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Like you've had all these guys who were just guys
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: that you were going to were great bodies to work with,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: but you're going to have to do some coaching. And
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: so some of the names that you're seeing this twenty
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: seven class, which is just off to its own great start,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you're seeing that, you know, now Cooper being into like
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: this is great and the second Cooper in the class.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: So you know that your boy loves having two Coops
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: in one class.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Which is the funny part is that I know that
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you were I knew you were going to point that out.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you're pointing it out, but I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: knew you were gonna point that out, Like Coop's gonna
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: get excited about the fact that there's two Coops in there. Yeah,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: there's two Coopers. Get a few Cooper's in here. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: get it. I mean you should. I wonder about it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: You know, one of them is going to be on
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the offensive line. One of them is going to be
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: a linebacker. So it is it going to be confusing
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: during scrimmages and drills when somebody yells Coop, you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and if I'm only last problem, Yeah, yeah, Witting and Hackett,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if they call Cooper Hackett
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: hack or something like that. Anyway, this is a great
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, bar None. It does not matter if
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: he came here because his dad's the coach. It does
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: not matter if he came here because the great relationship
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: with to Marco Burray. Like, this is a great, great get.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: And you know, with some of the other names that
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: are still on the on the board for linebacker, this
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: could be a really really just impressive linebacker crew in
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: this twenty seven class.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: So so far for Oklahoma we are number last, number
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: three at number two fourth on three rivals and two
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: four seven has his class as the number one class
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's biased. I'll say this
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: class has some really really good capability, Like I think that,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: like it'd be a disappointment to not be a top
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: ten class. But you've got top three, top five like
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: capabilities in this class. And we'll talk about it with
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the future freaks here in a few minutes. But I
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: mean you've got great I mean, you've got potentially setting
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: up the best offensive line class beating Bo's ever had
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: which to go against the Afa Lava Fasousi class. Like
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty pretty cool statement. You've got Tavin Epps
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and Cooper Witte at linebacker, which are two of your
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: top four recruits. You've got a couple of great skill
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: set guys get the edge with at the edge and
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the defensive line with Crewe and Harmon. But yeah, I
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: mean you've just got some pretty some pretty stout stuff here.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And I think Cooper will continue to to elevate in
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the ranking throughout the year because they're starting their senior
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: year practices right now, Like he's still going to have
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the senior film, He's still going to mature and right
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: now I think they're either pulling him up right on
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: six two two twenty. It's good, Uh Cooper's film. Obviously,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: it's great pedigree. You know that he's going to be
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: football intelligent. You know that he is going to play
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: with a great great skill set and great coaching and
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: so you you match those things and if the physical
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: traits continue to grow, it's going to be it's going
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to be a really really great sign.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, every time I watch his taate, I get pretty excited.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Kids got game. Yeah, he has a lot of game.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: And this is this is Brevitable's biggest pickup as for sure,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: since he's been here. He's been in Oklahoma. Now, I mean,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I know that's nothing against you know, a fan favorite
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: in Kip Lewis. We love Kobe McKenzie as well, nothing
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: against them. This is the biggest pickup Therivitables has gotten
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: since he's been here.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: He can play, and I you know, I will like
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: this guy's in, you know, a Hall of Fame level guy.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: But Cooper reminds me of Brian or Lacker. Brian Urlacker
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: had the tight end, you know, again, like in mock
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: drafts going into the NFL like er Lacker was being
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: shown as a potential tight end slash linebacker, and I
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: remember as a Broncos fan, a lot of people had
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: him going to Denver and I was super excited about it.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: And and so when I watch him again, you know
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: that Jason is Jason Whitten was a guy that was
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: very very keen on technique. He was very very keen
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: on you know, coaching and doing the right thing, like
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: doing the small things correct. And that's what I see
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: in Cooper is is he he will do the small
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: things correct. I think that when you know you've got
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: what we've talked about this a lot with you know,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: the recruiting, you know, interviews, but you now, as any
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: type of defensive recruit coming in here. Now you're not
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: hoping that you can be the guy that helps turn
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: the defense around. Now you're the guy that has to
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: maintain what's going at what's going on at Oklahoma on
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball, and to follow guys
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: like Danny Stutsman, Owen Heineke, Kip Lewis. You know, that's
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: that's that's a that's a tall task. I mean maybe
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: even starting off with the sewn white like I know
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: he played linebacker and and you know, more of the
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: cheater role. But since Preventable's been here, he has really
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: turned this line backing room around. And we all know
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: that it it. It's not an easy task to play
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: linebacker for bramp Pettibles.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: It isn't. It's work and for that and that's what
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: makes the defense so good. Not anybody can do it
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and makes it hard also in finding the bodies that
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: can actually achieve what you want to achieve. But no,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I'm excited at the fact that we were able to
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: close on the kid, like I had talked about it
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in the video I did. When he committed. The one
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: thing that I wondered was did he how he felt
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: about his dad being here and if he wanted to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: forge his own you know, you know, blaze his own
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: tril That's a common thing with some players, like some
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: like the idea playing for their pops, but he's already
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: playing for his pops. Others are like, I would like
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to do my own thing. It's just well, that's what
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: it is. They want to They want to say that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: they got themselves there on their own and even though
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: we don't, we don't. There's no concern there there's a
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: reason why his last name is not the reason why
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: he's the top linebacker in the country. Right, his last
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: name is why he's the top top five linebacker in
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: high school ball at all. If he was a tight end,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: sure i'd have question.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Me.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Winten Hall, you know, future Hall of Fame Dad should
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: makes sense for you. Yeah, there, but it's not. He's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a linebacker. It doesn't play the same position as Dad does.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: So I get why people say no. I think he's
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: legitimate on that, and that's what helps him is that
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: he didn't have to concern himself with that conversation. You're
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: proving it. Every camp you go to, people see it.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: You're very highly regarded by teams and everything. So yeah,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: you're a legitimate Where.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: You are I think the only place where his name
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: because again this is not an arch maning situation. Where
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: you are, you know, the god of all quarterbacks by
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the rating systems, because your name, like his name, is
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: going to help out a lot Jay in the recruiting
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: aspects for this twenty seven class, Like there's going to
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: be a lot of people who have family members who
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: are going to be able to say, oh my goodness,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: somebody said somebody's name is Competitive Depth College.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: That's me.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know who this is.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: It's me.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Oh it is you. Okay, you make me sad. You
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: made me sad. I thought somebody was really good run
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: with this. But anyway, it's going to be like you're
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: gonna have people who are gonna be like, oh, hold
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: on a second, like Jason Witten's they're coaching. Now, you
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: know you've got you know, his son's there, Like he's
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: one of the top linebackers. Like his name's going to
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: carry some weight on the recruiting trail when he is
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: doing some peer recruiting, and so I think that that's
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the only place where his name was actually going to
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: help out.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Oh no, that's a good point, that's fair. But besides that, though,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a massive, massive weekend because you
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: bring in that commitment and then you have the future
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: free next weekend to join. I ain't got a chance
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: to even put together the list, but we've been a
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: team's been compiling it on on on the in the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: discord from all of the posts from social media that
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: kids have been putting on there, and so you know,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: we've got to get a little bit excited about all
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of that. Thank y'all for, of course joining us here

• 14:55
  Speaker 1: think that's funny. This this, this, uh yeah, jump in
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the water. It appears that what is it? The spring
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: practice is everybody's mind feeling like the soon to come
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: spring practice. The winter workouts has got people pretty bullish
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: about what Oklahoma can be this year. I love this
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Texas Revenge Tours. Funny curious is Witting only ranked high
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: due to his name. He's not a tight end. So no,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: that's not how that works. The way it works is
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is because Arch is a quarterback and all of his
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you know, uncles and grandfather was a quarterback, Arch was
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: a wide receiver. Would nobody would have said anything about Arch?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I promise you that that's why about ever Witting. Witting's
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a linebacker. It's not a tight end. Two different Roles.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: But no, the list is long, man. I haven't got
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a chance to come we haven't come piled. I haven't
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: got a chance to really go through and show who's
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: all going to be there. But I'll say this, the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: one that I'm watching the most right now, of course,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: is Jamison Roberts, the quarterback that we've been courting for
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a while. If we can get him to go ahead
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and commit, hey man, that should domino effect everybody else
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: in the class. And it's funny now that we got
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Delan McCollough in at running back coach. I don't I'm
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: not concerned about those two running back recruits, Stokes or
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Keldrick Benn Like Michael Rhodes, I'm not. I'm still kind
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: of fifty to fifty with him, but I'm not concerned
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: about the other guys right now, whatsoever, Let's start of offense.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Jay hindsight is fifty to fifty so
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: but so, yes, you're you're going to have a slew.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, it looks like almost all of the all
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: the guys that are currently committed are going to be
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: in tow, you know, for the future. Freaks. Uh, you know,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: everybody from Cooper Hackett to Luke Wilson. But yeah, Jamison Roberts, Uh,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: you're going to have uh, you know, Gus Corsair, which
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: is another interior offensive line guy that it's going to. Uh.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: It is a big, big priority there. You know, we
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: recently saw that one of our other top offensive line targets, uh,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: you know, put out I think it was his top
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: eight and we weren't in there, and everybody was like, well,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: hold on a second, what's going on there? But there
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: there are so many different areas that you can kind
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: of pivot with your Bill Beatenbow. You know, you do
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: need the interior. Gus Corsa I think is more of
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: a center.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Brian Swanson, you think Gus is more of a center?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I think, So why is that? Why is that? I'm curious.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I mean he's an interior guy. I think that with
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: his I think that he is one of those I mean, listen,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: we know that Bill's m O is going to be
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: where can you play?
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: And I think capability.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: He's he's got the capability of doing doing do and
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: all of them obviously like the difference between playing center
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and guard. It's not just you know, it's it's bigger
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: than the difference of playing tackle and guard. You know, so,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I think course AA is a is a big option
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: for the interior. I think you'd be center, I could
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: be he could be a guard. I mean he's going
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: to I think he's going to have a pretty good
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: set up one way or the other.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, looking at him, looking at him, just some of
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: his tape or whatnot, and the way he moves, I
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: could totally see I see center. I could see possibility
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: at center. Like you said, playing the interior positions almost
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit easier to transition from one to the other.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: The biggest thing is it's like doing stuff as a
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: left handed person and then doing stuff as a right
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: hand in person. That's kind of where the challenges come
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: in for something like I remember listening to NFL linemen
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: talk about how every step is different on both sides
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: of the ball, and so people one guy from left
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: to right ain't as simple as we as it seems.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: You think, Oh, just plug him over there. Know it's
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a completely different line dance routine. Just put it that way.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Doing the waltz the opposite direction. It ain't easy. It
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: ain't easy. And some people got fifteen or sixteen left
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: feet It's just kind of just the life of humans, right,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: That's just the game as it is. But from with
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that being said, if you are pushed into guard, usually
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: it is because you ain't gonna be a tackle at
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the NFL level. At the NFL. If NFL player move
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: moves from tackle to guard, you can move from tackle
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: to guard. He can't move from guard to tackle. It's
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: kind of what I'm trying to think of. Which Hall
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: of Fame Lineman said that I know he's on like
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the Ryan Rossillo Show like a year or two ago,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, learn something new every day.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: But I digress. If Gus can, if Gus can so
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: show versatility on the interior and snapping the ball is
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: not as easy as it sounds either. But if he
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: can do that, he just probably jumped up a lot
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: of boards, at least jump heavily jumped up barve board.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I know we really want them, and right now it
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: sounds like we're we're trending very well to possibly land him.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: So yeah, another name that you had definitely want to
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: watch out for is a guy who's a borderline five
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: star tied end and somebody that I don't think that
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: we were very I mean, I think that there was
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: some interest. I don't think I think it was like
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: top fifteen interests, not top four interest type of an option.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: But when you hire Jason Witten, he starts having those
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: conversations and that's Seneca Driver. That's another big one. I
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: think that it's going to be pretty funny to, you know,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: if the situation arises that Jason Whitten, before he's even
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: you know, coached an actual game, he's pulled some of
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: the top end talents, you know, out of the transfer portal.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: And then also with you know, with the potential with
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: the Senica Driver, then you know, maybe Joe John Finley
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: his predecessor did in multiple years. So I do think
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: that that's a big one to watch. You got Tyson Ross,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: which was a you know, a recently offered offensive lineman.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Another another big, big body you're going to need to
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: get offensive lineman, Isaiah Coffin. And there's so many of
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: these guys that you're going to need to get in.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if you're going to take five
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: offensive line or not, but with the current way that
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: they're managing the recruiting classes and doing the development, I
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: could see us taking five because it is easier to
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: spend a little bit more money for these guys out
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: of high school and the four star and high three
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: star guys get them in, figure out which ones are
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: the ones that you need to do process if necessary,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: continue to cultivate them. You know, if that's what you're
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: hoping for, then rather going and spending a hunter k
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: in a portal every single year to catch a guy
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: who might leave the next year, might want more money
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: after that, and so you know, I want to see
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Bill Beatenbow do that because right now, I mean I
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: would say I wish we had a little bit more
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: offensive line depth for this coming year. Yeah, it's not
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: that we don't have bodies. It's the fact that, like
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: we've got a good starting line, but then you've got
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: some rotational pieces. I think you're pretty set on seven
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: guys that you feel comfortable playing on the offensive line
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: right now, and I think you need to be at
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: probably eight or nine.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: We are was it? The big thing with this line
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: is the good thing is twofold and as you mentioned one,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you don't want to go into portal buying a lot
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen every year because if you don't have that
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: kind of continuity. That's that's when you start to see
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the struggles. So but we do have I think we
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: have pretty solid depth because we've got a lot of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: players that's been system for some years or he's working
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: with Bill Danielle CANCOMI should be healthier and ready to go.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: He's a restret sophomore. That's not He'll go be a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: redshirt sophomore. So this'll be his third season going into this.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: They just moved Ace Hodges over to center to add
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: some additional depth because freshman Sean Hutton and Owen Heineken
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: just weren't I mean, oh when Holland Beck just weren't
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: at the Holland Beck weren't at the physical capabilities yet
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: to really run in that role today. Future sure, but
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: not today. But like adding a player like a Peyton
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Joseph fred Hinton, I love those two pickups and Noah
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Best and of course Deacon spid We only brought in
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: two offensive linemen out of the class, so I could
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: totally see this one being the bigger one to replenish
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: because we're probably gonna have some players we're gonna to
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: start filtering off. Because this is the way that I
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: feel like this team is going strategically when it comes
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to portal recruiting and all of that. It feels like
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the front office in this staff is giving all the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: players roughly roughly two and a half to three years.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Once you hit that mark, probably you're probably not gonna play.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: If you're not on the field yet, you're not gonna
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: play here. And that's honestly a fair shot for a
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: lot of them. Get here do something within the first
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: two to three years, so you're out. Like for exam Samyemsigo. Sam,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: he played every year, he's been here, a lot of
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: special teams, and then he you know, they were rotating
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: him in the linebacker the last couple of years and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: it just didn't work. So its senior year. It's an
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: opportunity to play somewhere else. Kobe mckinzo, same thing. Offensive
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: line wise, you didn't get much help out of you know,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Sexton or Troy ever gets hurt a second time and
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: it's tailor. At that point, you know it makes sense
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: to go ahead and make a move, you know, logan
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: high Exactly as you go down the list of all
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the players, you realize, okay, they're giving them two years,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: two and a half years, to figure it out or
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: and make the cut and if they don't, then boom.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: In which this year. Last season we had to play
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: freshmen because of injuries and they ended up jumping out
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: on the screen and you're like, Okay, I think we're good.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Let's run with this setup. And so I think for
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: this class, like I said, you got Cozart to go
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: along with possibly Cooper Hackett as well as Katean Penny,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: you're gonna look to want to grab. I think you
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: may grab Tyler Ross that will probably be the four
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: yearl grab. But the good thing is is that you
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: still got youth in Peyton Joseph will be a redshirt
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: freshman this year. Caleb Knitt is a red shirt junior,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and I said, and Fred Hinton's gonna be a sophomore.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: So you still got some young players. Now we need
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: to just see if they can execute on that Line's
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Like I said, running backs, I'm not
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: worried about I see that kil Dric Kildrid being as
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: well as Jackson Stokes. The basically the two commits are
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: going to pull up. I think we're pretty safe with them,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: especially bringing in Dylan McCullough and he's been working. It
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: suppose sounds like these people know these kids know them.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, I've talked to him before, I remember
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: seeing him with Notre Dame blah blah blah. I'm pretty
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: excited about playing for him. That's good.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: And Jay, there's so much momentum right now too that
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: you want to capitalize because you just saw the NFL
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: combine and we'll talk about that here in a minute,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: but you saw the Sooners show out. You saw some
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: really really freakish testing numbers from those Sooners. But then
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: also daleen Coola gets to boast the number one and
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: number two running back in the draft, and Jeremiah Love
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: goes out there. I mean, I don't we all know
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: that the NFL devalues running backs now nowadays? Right, You're
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: not going to see.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Well, you can. That's kind of the problem is it's
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: very easy too, because there's so many of them. There's skills,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: positions are the one position that you have. There's way
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: more supply than demand.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, and you're yeah, you're willing to. I mean, look
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: at the Kansas City Chiefs. Now they missed the playoffs, right,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of reasons why, but they're still trotting
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: out cream Hunt and that's his I think third tour
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: in Kansas City, if maybe the second tour in Kansas City.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: You know, he he came out and where did he
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: was it Memphis or two Lane or No College? I
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: think it was two Lane. Somebody will check me on
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: that one. But he comes out Toledo. Okay, so I
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: knew it was like a mac Area deal. But you know,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: so he comes out, he's still out there running the ball.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, we saw Frank Gore. I mean, Frank Gore
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: was playing at seventy six years old, like he was
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: out there, you know, still doing these things. But Jeremiah
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Love is going to be the number one running back
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: drafted and a lot of people, a lot of people
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: probably have him going in the ten range. You know,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: his his running back mate, the number two guy, Washington
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: kid out of Arkansas, the number three guy. But those
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: top two things. So I don't think that, you know,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: with Dalen coming in, he's he obviously there's a lot
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: of conversation around that. I think that those conversations are
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: probably going when they knew that DeMarco was kind of
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: looking around, you know, fielding those offers. From multiple NFL teams,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: and so he's got the clouds he can point towards.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at the numbers and the teams, all
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: all the guys that he has coached. I mean he has,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: he has the names, and so he can also not
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: only tweet out during the draft for all the Sooners
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: going out, but those running backs from Notre Dame. So
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: I think that that's going to be a really cool thing.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have young guys still between Blaylock, ex Ra,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Hatten and Jimmy Thanks for thanks for pulling up buddy.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: You know, you know, he is going to try to
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: get more out of these running backs than we've seen.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: And a lot of it's been the rotations, a lot
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: of it's been health. And so you just hope that
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: when you're talking about Keldric Benn, you know, being a
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: guy who you were, I mean you lapped the whole
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: damn field. He is an absolute, absolute, I mean just
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: stud when it comes time to when it comes time
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: to like, uh, you know a guy who is a
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: nobody and now is what was he numbered in the
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: sixties or in the top one hundred and in you know,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: in in rivals ratings. So that's that's that's that's good.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: You still you know, push towards twenty eight wide receiver wise.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: You know, also coming in, we don't really have not
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: anybody that I've and that I'm seeing here because you've
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: got Desserned already committed, you got Treyvon Hall already committed.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: You've got to come on that on being Yeah. He
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: so ESPN hasn't given him the ratings yet, but two
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: four seven hasn't. Two hundred and twenty second Rivals has
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: him in eighty six. So yeah, he's a bit running
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: back in the country. In their eyes, he's jumped and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: he's gonna continue to jump like he the town. Like
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I joke about it, right, you know, sometimes we get
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the Oklahoma decrease and we also get the Oklahoma bump,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: both of them. Show. Yeah, keep that in mind, and uh, Jimmy,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: we're gon we're gonna talk spring ball as soon as
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: we get done talking recruiting'll we'll I'll answer your question
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: first and really dive into what we're thinking to come
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: uh one, spring practices hit because the biggest thing gotta
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: remember is, as you mentioned, Coop, not only rotations, but
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: injuries is something that you know, we dealt with and
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: people had clean up surgeries that that's what you do
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: in the off season in sports, is you're always underneath
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a knife. Sucks.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the US, what we were basically talking about is
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: the recruiting class. This visit the future freaks. And this
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: is the big piece is two years ago you were
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: justifying a poor season six and seven. You know, he
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: went six and seven, he went ten and two, six
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: and seven, ten and two. But you've seen the trajectory up.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: You can point towards the first six and seven and say,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: I mean we lost seventy people off the team. You
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: can point to the second one and say we had
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: sixty injured, you know, or whatever. And so now you've
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: been able to show that you had that schedule that
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: everybody said, Oklahoma may be good, but that schedule. And
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: so now this year you don't have so much of
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: the negative recruiting. You just threw out a ten and two,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: you went to the playoffs. I think this year, instead
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: of seeing the big recruiting bumpboard, you just see an
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: onslaught of commitments in May and June. I think we'll
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: see a little bit more of it early Cooper witting
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent of surprise. Our boy PGS thinks that,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: you know, by mid March, we're probably going to have
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: three or four more. But I would say that we
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: might get more fireworks prior to fourth of July than
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: we usually do.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you on that. I I think
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: by the end of the month we continue to add
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: to this number one class like this is the year
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: that feels like they they are loading up the most
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: on m HM in prepar what one You've got the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: momentum from, like you said, the the playoff berth that
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: helps you know. Twenty six you were fighting all the
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: negative recruiting of oh, everybody's willing to be fired before
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: you get there. You got past that. Now now it's
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: you're you're you're actually talking more about what you're trying
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: to do going forward. I guess that's the best way
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: to say it. You're you're talking about the future stuff
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: now because you can because you're completely off the seat.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Made the playoffs and now I need to just add
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: to it. And you may the playoffs in a very
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: unconventional way. You're dealing with still some injuries as well
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: as I mean, you know, Key injuries and you're still
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: able to win games where the defense continues to be
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: better and better, in which the expectation is the defense
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: will get even better this more season in my personal opinion,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: But the visits, that's offense that really jumps out, like like,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: of course you got the commits, that's gonna be there,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: So I'm not really there's nobody really on the offense
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: that's got me. Just outside of the whole we've talked
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: about like line line and Jamison Roberts and running backs,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: like wide receivers. I'll see. I mean, we got We've
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: got desern who is a Blazer, and I'm satisfied there.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: We'll we'll add some more and I think once we
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: kind of figure out the landscape, especially when we get
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: closer to OV season in June, then I'll be like,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: all right, that's what I'm That's what I'm that's what
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I'm ready for. But defense wise, though, Coop, there's a
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: lot of good, good defensive players. Is gonna pull up
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: because why wouldn't you talk about defense when you talking
• 34:09

  Speaker 1: we can continue to move up the charts as one
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: of the Oklahoma sports podcast out there. Hey man, we
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: need to go ahead and lock up this Jaalen Scott stuff, dop.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know what we need to do. Whose pocket
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: did we need to go raid get? Jayleen Scott? Locked up? Man?
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: I like his game a lot.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: You're at a point in the with the defensive backs
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: that you get to pick and choose. You know, when
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: you show that. I mean, if you're a freshman or
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: a sophomore and you're the best player you're going to
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: see the field like that makes that makes a difference
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: because and let's just keep it a buck, like if
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: you are a young guy and you see that Brett
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Vinnibles is rotating guys like you know, week two against Michigan,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: he's going to have rotations where like he might have
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: a younger guy rotating in if he's earned that spot,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: like that makes you feel that, Okay, I can go
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: and I can be awarded over guys who were good.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Now the people that Eli Bowen and Courtland Guilery took
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: over for partly injury, partly, they're just better than them.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: So now you've got the talent in defensive back to
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: where it's a little bit thicker. But Jalen Scott is
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: an absolute It is absolute you know, must have for me.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Goes along with Gabe Osborne Junior too. Like you have
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: a couple of guys that Oklahoma was like Smash Stanford, Like,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: that's a guy that Oklahoma's probably not continuing much pursuit
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: on because we've got a lot of guys that we
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: really want. And that's tough to say, because I mean,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: he's a he's he's in he's in your fence. So
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: but if you have not watched Jalen Scott's you know tape,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: you need to because he's a fun watch.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: He's a fun watch. And some of the concern I've
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: heard from some folks is, you know, he was committed
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: to Florida State, committed to Auburn, you know, kind of
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: jumped around. I mean, things change very quickly with how
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: people keep getting hired and fired, as if we've all noticed,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: so I kind of understand the hesitants, but I do
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: like his game and it sounds like him as well
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: as James and Roberts. We all know they're very close
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: friends together. That let me see, James Robinson has been
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: getting like a ton of your predictions and stuff. Expectation
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: is we're gonna be bringing some of them Alabama boys
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: to stay of Oklahoma. And I know Alabama fans are
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: not happy. Auburn fans are not happy either. They don't
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: like the idea that we're going to walk in even
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: though we still have an ownership ship stake in We
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: have an ownership stake in the state. Still after winning
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: on the road against those teams, we still got it.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: If you don't think that winning on the road and
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: winning consistently against teams in a state matters, If you
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: think that, oh man, you guys need to give it
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: a relax, like Colin kip Lewis the mayor. You know,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: you guys like, no, you don't, because that's why we
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: join the SEC. It wasn't just the team, the TV money,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: That's not just what it was. It was that's that
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: area Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida like that SEC country. Jay
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: that's where most of these cats are, you know, ending
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: up in college being all conference players. They're going in
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: the NFL Draft, they're testing out the out the gym.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: You go and you do well there, and then you're like,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know what Alabama football is. I don't know
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: what Auburn's going to be. Auburn's been the same for
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: a long time since Cam Newton, and so people should
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: know what they are. But it ain't Nick Sabans Alabama anymore.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: So you get an idea of maybe I want to
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: go somewhere else, maybe I want to go to a
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: different team. And so that's why you see Scott and
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: you know Jameson Roberts. I mean, these are guys that
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: you do that you can tell them all right, listen,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: you know we're going to be going to Auburn. We're
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: going to be going to Alabama during your tenure here.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: You get to do a home game obviously within il
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: like getting your folks and your family to come travel
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: to Norman. Like we hang out with the parents every
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: single weekend when we go to games. So we know
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: that the parents are able to you know, travel a
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: little bit more, you know, freely, because even if the
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: kids aren't sharing the money with them, they're not shelling
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: out a bunch of money to help them live in college,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: so it's a little bit easier to go. So yeah,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: those are two Those are two cats. You know, I'm
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: still with the Jamison Roberts like as soon as it pops, like,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: I'm still going to be pretty excited about it because
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: I think he's a fast riser. I think he's guy
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: probably end up as a four star.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Same but that corner they really jumped out to me too,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be Gave Osbourne. I would like that Oklahoma kid.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I like, I've always had the Oka prep agenda and
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: the reason if for the uninitiated, my Okay prep agenda's
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: always been big because when you get players like a
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Cooper Hackett, when you get a Caden Penny and now
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: a Gaber Osbourne, you gotta do what you can to
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: lay players before them so that when they pop up
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: their like guaranteed locks. You don't want to miss out
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: on those guys. Those are players you want. You want
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: to get the local talent to want to represent their
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: state on top of getting some national players that you
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: know there's a bunch of them, so they can move around.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: That's wrong with that. But I am I would like
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Gabe Osborne to be in this class, and I need
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: somebody to go ahead and make that happen. I don't
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: know who I need to call, but I would like
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: him on our team.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I think, I think it's coming. You got Gabe, You
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: still got Juju Johnson, also out of Long Beach the LBC.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: A little bit of a smaller, smaller guy, but he's
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: a guy that you know, has been trending. You know,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: we thought maybe a commitment was coming a couple of
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: months ago with him. But you get a couple of
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: these guys and you know, is it three, is it four?
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: How many defensive backs are you going to take? And
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I think that some of the You look at a
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: guy like Reggie Powers, obviously recruited as a safety, comes
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: into safety. Now he's been now he's been, you know,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: playing Cheetah. He's shown really really good. So if you
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: have a body to where you can do a lot
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: of you know, really really unique things. You don't have
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: to be six three, two ten to be a safety anymore.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: You can be a six foot, you know, two hundred
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: pound guy. So you got a lot of these big guys,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: and you know, Gabriel Osborne out of out of Mustang.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: That's I mean, that's right down the road, right Juju
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: out of Long Beach. It's it's gonna be good. It's
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: gonna be good. I'm pretty excited.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be honest. I don't think we lay
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: in Juju. I like Juju Johnson, but I don't think
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: we do somebody. You got what Michael mccurrey at corner,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: you have Michael Davis, you get Gabe Osborne. I think
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: that's where you'd be solid at the big thing with
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: the roster is you just got Dakota Fields, who will
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: be a sophomore next season. I actually may be richard freshman.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: I gotta see how many snaps he had, how many
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: games he played in? Actually, oh, I.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't say played in a few. But you know what
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: you also have is.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: He yeah is did he play in four games or not?
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Is really the bigger question.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: You still have Darius Johnson too, little brother to Jerry
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Johnson who's in this class also, and and and he's
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: a four starter too. Yeah.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: See that's when I missed. I did miss that is
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: he is he slated to come visit this weekend.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think he is.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Because I don't recall seeing I'm on any of the sheets.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: But let me see. Let me look at the offers
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: real quick, and I also look up Dakota, So I
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: think that because because Dakota, that's gonna be The big
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: question is if he all right there? He is Dakota
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: fields defense. He only play in three games, so he'll
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: be a red shirt freshman next season, so you'll have
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: have him Dereck Johnson as you're young guys. You got
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Prince e Gioma as well, who's another young and he's
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: another six two sixty three corner, right, You've got a
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: lot of You got a lot more size than I anticipated,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: So honestly, you may just stick to three three makes sense. Now.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: The question is if you're gonna do if you're gonna
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: grab one of to make him a Chetah like I
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: did see? Was it? It was an article that was
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: written recently where Trenton Blaylock was talking about BV looking
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: at him at Cheetah as well. It's just like, as
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: you mentioned, because of his size in his stature, he
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: could possibly play both. So Moon to Nickel play some cheetah.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: If he's physical enough hex hyeall you'll add him because
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: because that's the one thing I know BV does, he'll
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: have a big cheat in a small cheetah. He wants
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: one as a towering player, and he also wants a Cheatah.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be versatile like a nickel. Yeah, but really
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: they're really the blitz really to attack like Devon Jordan did,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: like Reggie Powers. Did you're gonna mix that up Green Lantern? No,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: that it's a it's a combination of twenty seven's twenty eights,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: it's everything. It's Junior Day. So I thought it was
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: only juniors, but I don't think it's only juniors.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Well you've got June first, I think is the weekend
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: where Brevenable's football camp goes. Yes, and you'll see a
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: lot of guys. Yeah, that's when you'll see a lot
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: of guys come in.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's typically offer weekend or whatnot. That's when you
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: see it's when you start hearing about twenty eights and
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: twenty nine, actually twenty nine and thirties. Remember is it
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: was it Marcus? Oh gosh, what's the kid's last name?
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: It's some owen kid. Oh, yes, yes him, I'll look
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: him up. But he got his offer there. I remember
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: seeing him at the camp. Me and PG was actually
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: there and we saw him at that camp and dog
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: he was wrecking. We're like, oh you you, you're one
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: that Oklahoma's going to put their put their hand in
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: the dirt and go after. We'll see what it looks like.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: But yeah, he's a beast. He's a beast. Uh yeah,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Marcu's fuckatau So yes, sir, he's another Dames trending for him,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: but he's out of Sierra Canyon. Yeah, another big weekend,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: but he is. He's one that I know Clem's gonna
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: after the Cali Sooner deal. But I digress. The big
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: thing is, like I said, this weekend, it's it's future freaks.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Believe it's Junior Day. There may be more, I may not.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I may be wrong, but yeah, we're gonna have a
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: The list is getting long, and it sounds like some
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: of the insiders are even saying that this list is
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: probably going to be longer than what we're saying. But
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I think it is all juniors. Actually it is all juniors.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so uh c K Colin Kennedy. There there are
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: two four seven. He says that there's some some rumblings
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: that there could be uh, you know, some surprises happening
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: here too.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Ye go support c K. He always drops the goods
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: and yeah, if he's saying that, then I'm one hundred
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: percent locked in. Sign you up. I'm ready to see
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: what surprises. I expect a surprise now if he's saying.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: It, yeah, Alexander case. Alexander is probably another one that's
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: you know, you're you're trying to get locked in. Uh,
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: we do have a twenty eight kid.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Are we do over? Okay, thank you, we'll take it.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: But you've got even guys like Joseph Graves. You know
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: it's the book booker t now I am g probably
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: not probably not trending to OU. I think OU went
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: after different fish. But you know, he'll be in town.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: So you've got a lot of guys who are going
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: to come up. You're still in, you know, pretty good
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: contention for some upper echelon guys too. But you know,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: like a you know that Jerry Outhouse was one that
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: you know, we were in for a long time. Now,
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of looking like smart trending towards Georgia.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: There was one other one, Joshua Dobson, you know, five
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: star corner, probably looking towards L s U. But there's
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: so many different guys that that you know, still have
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: not made a choice, and they've got some visits. You're
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: hoping to get guys in here that want to come play,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: and they don't want to come in for negotiations. And
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: so this this class, if it's going to be a
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: top five class, you just got to continue to layer
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: in guys and get guys making the decisions, you know, early,
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: so that it's not you know, you're you're not sitting
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: here in late September like sweating. You know, when you're
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: gonna get your first linebacker, when you're gonna get your
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: first defensive lineman, you know, stuff like that. So it
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: looks like this is a pretty balanced class.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good one. And as our guy
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Tofa points out, Kealen Hall is twenty twenty eight, So
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: so yeah, there's gonna be so I guess there is
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: a twenty eight on a list. Gotta go see, I
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: gotta go go go dig through. I know that we have,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: like I said in our core, we've got a bunch
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: of from the from the the players that are posted.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: They're public posts that they're going to be in town.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: We try to keep an archive of all of that.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a good time. We're gonna have
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: a good future Freaks weekend. I'm hoping like that. I'm
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: hoping we get a couple commitments. Let's go ahead and
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: knock that down and get that over with, all right,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I wanna talk a little bit of springball. We've got
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: about been here about fifty minutes, so it's, like I said,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: it's a very impromptu Thursday night stream since I've been
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: traveling like crazy. Travel next week, but should be back
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: to my our regularly scheduled programming in about two weeks.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: But no, we definitely appreciate that. Thank y'all for pulling up.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Gone ahead, hit that like button. If you are new
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: to the channel, subscribe rate review, give us five stars.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. Theres from the Cowboy Now Brewster,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brewster is not coming, and I would just take
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Jaylen Brewster off your list. I sense as talented as
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: the kid is, he's pro probably gonna be. He doesn't
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: feel like he feels like he's gonna be a pain
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: a painful.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: It's I'm just gonna say. If Brewster came and ou
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: really felt like they were gonna do something, and they
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: up there offered a Brewster, Texas Tack would just offer more.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: They would. I put to you this way, if Oklahoma
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: gets back into the Brewster Sweepstakes, my expectation would be
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: it happens in November. And let me tell you why.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: If Oklahoma jumps into the the Jalen Brewster Sweepstakes and
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: gets aggressive to where it looks like he's possibly trending here,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: David Stone and jane Ja Exens headed to the NFL,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: that is the reason why you do it.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: You're gonna free up money because I promise you this
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: retention dollars for David Stone and Jameen Jackson if both
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: those guys are going, Because I mean, I want to
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: play the twenty sixth season before I before I do anything. George, Yeah,
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: George Toya. I want George Toya here because I want
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: George Stoya to be bothered for the next three to
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: four years by every time he hears that player's name.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: But I agree, I'm guessing that you're freeing up well
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: over a million dollars. If both of those guys were
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: to go to the league, you're going to have those
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: conversations on going, you know, trying to figure out what's
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: going on. I think that if anybody would just pull
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: something crazy and return, I could see, you know, Jayden
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Jackson saying not, you know this is great, Like, I
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: love this environment. I'm going to be here. I think
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Jayden is going to be more of a later first,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: early second round guy. But I think if Stone has
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: a I think if Stone has just another incremental year,
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's gonna be looking at a top ten pick,
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: top five pick type of a draft draft status and
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: listens as a Sooner fan, I would go to Dave
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: and be like, good luck, man, I hope you don't
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: go to Cleveland. You know that. That'd be my words
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Actually, I'd be like, man, if you go to Cleveland,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: all you're gonna do is get paid like Miles Garretts,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter. Just just get used to losing.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: It ain't your fault. Just get used to losing. But
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: cast them checks.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, get get paid because yeah paid. Whatever turmoil filled
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: quarterback is available in the twenty eight draft, Cleveland's gonna
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: draft him.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the best sport. It sucks so but no, yeah,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: it's if if you if you go into the jail
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: in Brewster, Sweep States. You're definitely doing that. Because Stone
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: and Jane Jackson decided to go pro, so that leaves
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: you with Nigel Smith Kenya as a WALLU. You'll have
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Trent Wilson, you know, Brian Harris, all those good players
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: in that mix. But besides that component of it though,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: time for springball talk. I we know that's coming up.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: You've been seeing the workout videos. How many I'll have been, uh,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: losing your mind because of them, because I've been I've
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: been pretty excited over him. They've been They've been dropping
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: video after video after video of these dudes tearing it up.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: And we know that there's a reason why certain players
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: are being popped on there on a regular basis.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: You know, somebody I see a lot of is friend
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: of the program, Nigel Smith.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: I've been seeing a lot of him.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: And I'm and I'm really hoping that that's indicative. Guys,
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: I will promise you this, there's a there is a
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: next guy up mentality on that defensive line. Even though
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: that Stone and Jayden, are are going to be the
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: leaders because of how g Baby did watching Dom Williams,
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: who came in and really changed the way that we
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: look at this defense. He was part of that mental
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: change that that we saw. He also had what do
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: you have, like thirty reps on the bench, great leadership,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: great interviewing stuff like that. There's a spot and it's
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: it's who's up next, Like who's going to be the
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: next guy? You know? Jokingly, it kind of reminds me,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: you know of the movie The Other Guys with Wahlberg
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: and uh uh Will Ferrell, you know, the Hansen and
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: heis or Samuel Jackson in the Rock jump off the
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: building and die and they're like, there's a hole. There's
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: a hole in the department for the aim for the bushes.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: I love it so great.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Uh that whole movie is is terrific. I might watch
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: that tonight just because, uh now I will be thinking
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: about it. But there's there's there's a spot, there's a
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: spot for a lot of different guys to come in
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: and be those next guys up, those young guys, because
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: don't get it twisted, like I can promise you. Todd
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Bates is saying like, all right, who's going to be
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: the next wave of guys coming through here? We saw
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: g Baby, we saw Dom, we saw the other two
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: who are still here, Like let's let's let's get after
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: it because there is a there, there's a hole and
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: there's an opening for you guys to come in here
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: and be that next impact player. And so you're you're
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: you're looking at this now, I mean, this is where
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: your toughness, this is where you know, you find out
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: who our next set of leaders are. There's you know,
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: and I didn't even you know, mention Marvin Jones Junior,
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: our Mason Thomas h you know, just razy to see
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: four defensive linemen that are you know, invited to the
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: NFL combine. So uh, you know, I am I'm interested
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: to really see does Nigel become that like high four
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: star flirted with five star status? Does he become that guy?
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: Now he was a tweener, so you're kind of moving
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: him inside. Uh, Kenny o'sa wallu.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: Big now but he's big now. Yeah, he's physically When
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I looked at the number two ninety is where he's
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: listed at, I could see him if they decide that
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: he's going to go straight interior. He's gonna easily be
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: three three hundred by the time the season starts, or
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: he may play at the G Baby size at two
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: eighty five to ninety and the technique is there, like
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: watching him work out. Like I say, we pointed out,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Nigel Smith has been the propaganda's been out there. He
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: is front and center as someone that they believe is
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: probably gonna make that next leap and he has the opportunity.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Now Dom's gone, so is g Baby, so that interior
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: needs another person. We know Kenny as a wall who
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: has been named like crazy of someone that's excelling in workouts,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, we're just impressed with his speed,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: We're in preised with his agility, We're impressed with his
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: capabilities at his size and strength. He's got it. Nigel
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: was dealing with you know, ankle stubbing them some injuries
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: and now it looks healthy. He's probably gonna be the
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: one with him on that line. You may throw Kenny
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: to the edge occasionally bring Nigel right out there. Boom.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: Told you're you're, you're, you're building because you gotta you
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: gotta have at least three D on the defensive line. Period, right,
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: Bishop Thomas is gonna see some run. He's gonna have
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: to be an interior guy that's gonna be able to
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: uh to to be a space eater. You're probably gonna
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: push Trent Wilson to prepare to play Dannery immediately. But yeah,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have that that interior looks scary, looks as
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: scary as it did last year. Like I love how
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: was such a good leader that he he really left
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: the imprint and I think that this this these players
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: just get even better from that period.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Well, any you know, we don't mention Brian Harris. I
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: think that he is. There's there's going to be some
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: There's going to be some you know, early season watching
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: because you don't get you don't get three cupcakes to
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: start the year, like you get to go is it
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: utep first?
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Is that you start?
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Yes so.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: And you know Michigan's got some offensive lineman. They've got
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: a they had, you know, a younger offensive lineman two
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: years ago. Last year. You know, they rotated through a
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: lot of different guys, but we threw them off their game.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: And that's why Underwood had such trouble is because he
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: had somebody in his face all the time. It was
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: from the inside, it was from the outside, and he
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: was always on the run. And if you want to
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: walk into ann Arbor and you know, start the year,
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: how you you hope it's gonna take more than Jaden
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: Jackson David Stone. You're gonna need to see some impacts
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: from at least two other defensive interior guys.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your your goal is to maintain what we did
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: last year, if not be slightly better or actually slightly worse,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: you'd be okay. If it's just a little slight step back.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: You want to remain top ten status, maybe eleven. But
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: I really think that the way that this interior is
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: set up, man, we could and now the secondary feels
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: like it's really shirt up. You should you have no
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: excuse not maintaining that top ten if not moving up
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit higher. But that and it's also happens
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: with Revenable's defenses. Like I will put together a video
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: to go out this weekend and probably couple this week
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: coming up. We traveling have some pre stuff recorded on
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: how the progression of Brent Vinable's defenses have been. Everywhere
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: he's been at you always see they take that step forward.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: They'll have an incremental year where they'll take a little
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: bit of a step back, but you can tell us
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: because they're younger, and then boom, you jump up. Heck,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: Naggie mentioned how we lost a lot of players, but
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: we also gained a lot of snaps this year. I
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: went ahead, I got bored, and I pulled the numbers up.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Video dropping tomorrow just kind of a spoiler alert for
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: you all. But I went through and I've done the
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: calculations via PFF and I'm gonna break it down for y'all.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: But over ten thousand snaps then showed up. Now they're
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: not as young as he thinks they are, but we do.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: We got ten thousand snaps coming in right like the
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: ones that have multiple years of experience. Let me give
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: you a number. Four thousand snaps joins us with multiple
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: years of experience junior for a sophomore freshman. That's big.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: That strategy to me getting younger while adding just under
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: half the snaps, It that you add means that your
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: goal is for a couple of years they did contribute
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: and then possibly they have to make some real runs.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: And that also helps you for when you know your
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: top dolls like a Stone and a Jadan Jackson if
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: they want to go pro. Because hey, you get the
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: call your top ten pick, Jackson, your top fifteen pick.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: There's a good chance both of y'all get drafted top fifteen.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh yeah, we out, we're gonna do it.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: You don't stay back, get your butt out of here,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: make that bread and go represent this team, this school
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: like you do. But you gotta have players prepared to
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: step up and play. And the good thing on the
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: the transfers and if you've listened to me here overall
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: locked on, I'd say it all the time. The one
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: thing I've noticed about this staff is they really like
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: their recruits. Yes, and it's paid dividends last season, majority
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: of the rosters your players with a couple of additional
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: feelers for debt components. Offense wise, you don't have that
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: because you don't have continuity on offense like you did
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: do on defense. Now you're getting a little bit more continuity.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: Been our buckles here. He'll probably be here at least
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: three years. In that case, guess what, You're gonna start
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: seeing continuity there too. So that's something to be of
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: course excited about going forward.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: Just got to keep that thumb slash wrist healthy. Progress
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: by the progress by the offense. You know, he said
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: it earlier our Texas friend here, I will continue to
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: say it is going to be first and foremost. This
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: team's ceiling will be dictated by what the offensive line
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: can do. Then it's going to be onometerer seeing the
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: field decision making. I think a lot of that's going
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: to come with being able to rely on, rely on
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: the teammates, rely on the weapons that you have. I
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: think it was George Stoya was talking on one of
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: the unofficial forty podcasts that John had like such high
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: I mean it was like something like sixty percent usage
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: rate for the offense, and he was responsible for so
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: many yards because we got so little. We rushed for
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: less yardage in twenty five than we did in twenty
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: four at six and seven, So we ran for less
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: yards last year. So I do believe that what you
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: need is John to be able to go, hey man,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: you can trust these weapons. It's going to help him
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: stay healthier, it's going to calm him down a little bit.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: And I do believe that in adding and adding the
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: guys that we've added in the portal and you know,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: hopefully with you know, somebody one of the younger guys
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: stepping up and demanding playing time at the receiver port,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: the tight ends, the offensive line getting stronger. We want
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: to see a more competent offense because this offense, this
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: defense we had this past year in twenty five was
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: really good, really good, Jay, and still had a bad offense.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Still I needed a competent offense. We had a competent one,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: it just wasn't as good as we wanted it to be.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: And we were one ten games next season, all we
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: got to do is do the exact same thing, but
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: continue to get better. On Oh, Jimmy, this was a
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: great question to beginning. I need get a chance to
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: answer this one though. So do you y'all think Jonathan
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Hatton will get the bulk of the carries? I do?
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: I actually think he will be him. Gabe Saw Chuck
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: and Lloyd de Vant I think are gonna be your
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: three running backs because you're gonna want to make sure
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: that not only ex Rob Blaylock are both healthy. You're
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: also gonna probably do the same thing with like probably
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: Andy Bass depending on how he goes, because I know
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: that he's been leveraged. He used to be leveraged as
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: like the wildcat quarterback or the scrambling quarterback in drills
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: and opponents. But yeah, and that's the good thing. And
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: I do think that Hatton sees a big bulk of
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: the numbers and Marshall, you're one hundred percent correct, John
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: having healthy, healthy thumb. He looked good when he got healthy,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: right like for him, the biggest thing was is that
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: he stood in never run game because both of his
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: backs were still dealing with a lot of ailing injuries.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: They get better. Yeah, we should see an improvement. My
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: expectation is there should be a dramatic improvement when it
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: comes to this team. So not upset. I'm excited about
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: next year. Wide receiver. Of course, we know who's gonna
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: be wide receivers. That's that's the question to me on
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: the wide receiver side when it comes to spring practices,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: which wide receiver is gonna step up and be the
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: be the fifth guy who's five and sick? Is Elijah
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Thomas ready? Is it? Many choice? Does a freshman walk
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: in and takes and snatch somebody's change? Because you know,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: as your Miichael Carter, you know is Isaiah Satana, Trell
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: Harris as well as Parker Livingstone. He is there. Definitely
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: that four is locked in. And I actually think Jermichael
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Carter may seem more run than Parker truth be told,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: because Jermichael was looking really good, good in Alabama game.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Both Alabama games. You start to see him do really
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: good in the flow of the offense, and yeah, there's
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: a good chance he may actually be He actually may
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: be the big sleeper on offense that ends up starting early.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: We will, We'll see, because I think that Trell, I
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: think that Treill and Setana probably slotted in. And it's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: who deserves who deserves the most. I mean, Parker Livingston,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: he had a hell of a year and that was
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: you know, getting a lot of dirt balls and you
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: know he broke free quite often and he's got some
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: speed to him. But I will say this, Jay is
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: you've got I think that you're going to see one
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: of these freshmen probably do something. Is it Jashie Rodgers? Uh?
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: You know, is it Pettit?
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: You know, Daniel odom is the one that if there's
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: a phrase, will do it.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Is another one, I'd.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Say, the one that knows how to play in the
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: flow of offenses right now.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: And it's also I mean, because what you're gonna have
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: to do is you can't cause issues. Right is the
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: one of the big reasons why I think that you
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: didn't see some of these younger guys last year is
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: you saw the I mean, who was it? We're were
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: It was one of the games where it may have
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: been the Old Miss game. I think it was the
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: Old Miss game, but we had like a crucial third
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: down and somehow they did a shift lineup change, like
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: a hockey hockey lineup change, and they brought in Elijah
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: and all these guys and it just looked like dysfunctional
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: and it was just for the whole entire offense. So
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: if it's going to be, you know, one of these freshmen,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: what they're going to have to be able to do
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: is can you line up correctly on the first attempt?
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: Can you block? And can you do what you're supposed
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: to do? Can you do that? Because it is we
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: do not want John out there needing to rely on
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: you and getting hung out to dry because you ran
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: a post instead of a curl, like you can't do
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: those things, or you know, they throw a wide receiver
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: tunnel screen to trail or to Sitania and your guy
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: just comes and lights them up. And we saw that.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, Dion Burks ran a four to three
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: to zero. We all knew that that sucker was fast,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: but one thing that he was not very good at
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: was blocking out on the edge. There were a lot
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: of plays to Satanna that were wide open and Burke's
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: got manhandled. So for him to bench that much, to
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: jump that be that explosive, that's a concentration thing. And
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: so that's what you need to see how these other
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: guys and Tofier, You're right, JBD, he is Van dors Leier.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: He is a guy that you're going to want to
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: pay attention to because I think that there's a lot
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: of options to be running that two tight end set
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: and have one of the guys more of a blocking
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: type of deal, and then one of the guys to
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: be out there, you know, for some of the short
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: routes and kind of be an escape route for uh.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: For Masier, this offense got better on paper. Now when
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: you see him be better on the field, and we
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: can see that jay On, I was gonna say, we'll
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: get to see our first look on April eighteenth.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: Yeh April eighteenth. The fact that it looks like we
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: do have an actual spring game. So that's the one
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: thing that I'm pretty excited about that they're bringing that back.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: I wonder, I don't think it at this point it
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: ain't because of I don't think it was because of
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: the spring portal ish. I think it's more of you
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: got to play the young players to figure out what
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: the hicck you got. You gotta you gotta see it
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: in a in a situation that has stakes to it,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: Forty people out there yelling and treating it like a
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: game day experience because you could do it on practice.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: We've heard that there's a lot of guys that were
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: I mean just phenomenal practice bodies did great stuff in
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: the practice. I mean, we've talked a lot of positive
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: I hope Elijah Thomas really just puts it together. It
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: sounds like there might be a little bit of a
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: knucklehead situation, so I'm hoping. I'm hoping that everything goes
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: more positive going forward because they know the athleticisms there.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: You saw it on the special teams coverage this past year.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: So can he take advantage of it. Does he know
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: the offense and can he do the right thing consistently?
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Because again, if they can't trust you to run out
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: on the field and do the right thing, blocking, snap count,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: lining up all that stuff, they're not going to put
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: you out there. They're going to find somebody else.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: Go word you hear me say this Often the most
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: important thing for a player, especially at wide receivers. Flow
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: of the offense tight ends flow of the offense when
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: you're not the target, but you got a decoy. You
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: got to block this guy a certain way. A lot
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: of that running backs, all your skills, guys that have
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: to execute on that. That's critical. How do you play in
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: the flow of the Oh when yes? Because and that's
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: the it's the it's the thing that sucks from a
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: fan perspective in viewing. If you've never sat down with
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: a coach and had a conversation about how play design
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: is set up, most most fans are are ignorant to it.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: And it's and it's nothing against them, it's just you know,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: you either you play or you weren't there that you
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: don't know. Like there's certain plays where the quarterback is
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: looking for everybody, certain plays where that player is supposed
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: to be a decoy to drag certain other players away
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: to get the bottles of a particular person. And in
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: those scenarios sometimes those guys end up wide open, but
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: they're not supposed to be looked at. And sometimes the
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: defense can catch that decoy and they'll go and be like, oh,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: shoot this, well, I'm not supposed to follow him. They'll
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: turn around and run off of them. You're like, why
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: I need throw to this person? Throwing it across your
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: body all the way down the other side of the
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: field of the hash other numbers. It's not realistic, but
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: that's kind of how they're designed. So if you can
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: sell it, it's about selling that as a player, like
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: in the flow of that. Oh, and that's the one
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: unneath the wide receivers to definitely improve on. They improve
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: on that, I think we're gonna be good. So Van
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Dorsselaia is a name. Definitely keep your mind, keep your
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: eyes open and ears out for I think when do
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: they actually practice on I think it's what the twentieth
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: or something like that, later this month, because I know
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: the practice all the way up. I know camp is
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: beginning now, and I think it's somebody had the had
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: it up, but I think they started. They start on
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: the ninth, ninth, and I think the actual contact stuff
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: start later in the month as they lead right into
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: the spring game. But the ninth is when the first
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: on field look says next.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: Week, Hey, we got a we got a super chat
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: habazinga two dollars. He always is good, always good to
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: show up for.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Yeah, we did get Witting, We got him,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: we got Cooper Witting. Baby. I'm gonna continue to grow
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: from there on the shlass. But yes, Pete Nako's reported
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: that it begins on next Monday.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: I got a question for you, Jane, got an answer.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: Is it a rumor or is it truth? That you
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: also possessed the same outfit the SGA war last night
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: to the stadium and you're gonna be wearing that to
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: at least one sooner game when it gets cold.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: I cannot confirm or deny any of that. My attorney says,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say anything.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: Looks like a looks like a BUILDE bear is trying
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: to form around your body.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: It's the best I love esgain't his outfits. Man, I
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: know some people don't like him. And Russ always cracked
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: me up. I just love that they just they're into
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: that fashions of it always cracks me up because it's
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: always funny things that comes out of it. We get
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: good jokes from it. But yeah, March ninth. Practice starts
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: next week. They'll have fifteen practices during a thirty four
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: day window. Twelve of them can be contact practices, in
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: eight can include live tackling. That way you now know
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: as uninitiated. My expectation is later in the month they
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: practice all the way up till spring game. Play spring game,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: and then from there you may actually hear about us
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: shopping in the portal. Remember portals closed for entries, but
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of players in there that Oklahoma
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: could go after. So all right, just get on up
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: out of here. Thank y'all for pulling up. Don hate
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: that light. But if you meet to the channel, subscribe
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: it review, give us five stars. We appreciate y'all joining
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: us per the normal, and we'll be back back on Sunday.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about future FREA this weekend. You know there's
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: gonna be some commitments. We'll probably start give you another
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: primer heading into spring practice officially and yeah, we'll talk
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: soon to each and every one of y'ut what you got?
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Stevie, hundred percent shout out women
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: basketball team you got. They got a w today against Florida.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: We got nice, oh you Texas on Saturday. And I
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: know you folks don't want to hear this, but if somehow,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: oh you does that and then pull some stuff in
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: the tournament, just watch out. I know everybody wants portermos
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: are gone. I know we've been having a conversation the
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: court about it. But the guys all of a sudden
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: became hard to kill. I know there's a lot of
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: jokes at fifty gave the halftime speech, and they've been
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: they've been thumping the teams they've been playing. Now they're
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: not as not as good. So you go lose Texas.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: It's all. It's all or not and it doesn't matter anything.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: But if you win at Texas, you get a couple
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: wins there. But the the the non football sports, if
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: you're not checking the things out, the softball girls are
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: Jay they're on record for like two hundred and some
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: on home runs. It's you know, kend the Wills freshman catcher.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: You know, we didn't get a lot out of that
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: position last year, and I think she's already eclipsed to
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: what Emerly had last year. So the basketball gymnastics girls
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: locked up the top. I mean, the other sports are
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: just they're doing well right now. So if you're in
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: for April eighteenth, Jay, I think that there is the
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: spring game and it's a round one. I think that
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: there's a baseball game and a softball game that night,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: so you can go and spend your whole day. I
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: think that's what I might be doing with uh with
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: with daughter is doing a little softball, and I want
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: to say they play LSU and softball that night.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: But yeah, baseball and softball the entire week. And I
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: did see a post about that baseball is on fire.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: Skips out there cooking right now. They beat DBU.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: Midweek midweek.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: They never beat mid week d WU, that has been
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: an achilles hell for a while. They beat midwek W.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: This team is different, it's special. I wish we had
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: the Witherspoon brothers though. That'd been so much fun just
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: for them to be able to experience all of this.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: But I digress.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're making money. It's all right.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: Softball looks good, Baseball looks good. Yeah, we just need
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: football to get on get football, and basketball needs to
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: get back on track. Women's is out there doing their thing,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: But like you said, here's a good chance Portomo's your
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: finds a way. Give up. I told y'all this in
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: the corps too. Yeah, I don't want to believe me.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: I literally said that. I was like, watch, as much
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: as we want this done, that dude's gonna find a
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: way make the tournament. And it looks like he's really
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: on path to do that. All right, before I lose
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: my mind on it, we're out. Talk to your letter, Pace,
