  Speaker 2: I'm warm.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I'm warm, plus.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Got lots of you know, lots of snow. There's a
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: lot of snow time outside with the kiddos. And uh
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and yeah, man, I uh, rumor or not, I'm alive,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: So that's uh, that's always good too.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: What rumor or not? What happened? I'm sorry about you
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: completely froze on me.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I said, rumor or not, I'm alive. Didn't have any
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: rumors of my death this weekend, So that's always a
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: good deal.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I thought that was like the wildest stuff
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: in the world. I think that's probably a great place
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to start. Because uh, as soon as uh okay Breakdown
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: posted that, I I I chuckled like a lot because
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it's I didn't. I didn't think we would need to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: do this, but it appears that Yeah, Tedman's good. Teddy's alive.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: He's still alive. You know they have to post that.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The bad part they actually have to post a graphic
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to let everybody know that he's good. I guess Facebook
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is doing a really good job of tricking people into
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: believing stuff that's not true. Hooms To among us would
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: have thought that Uh, that would have come from the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: faces of the books, right.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It's it's always something, It's always something. But uh no,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I mean obviously, like we all, I mean, that's like
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: losing a national treasure. And uh, you know it'd be
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: a deal if it's you know, coach Switzer. You know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: because of the age situation, you're gonna want to trace
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: chase down that type of stuff. But uh, Jeddy's in
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: his prime still. He's got a big, nice, good beard,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you know, working and and soul. That Uh, that's that
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: was fun. Now the men's basketball team might be dead,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: but but Teddy is alive.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that's the reason why we talk college
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: football here on this channel book, cause I don't basketball
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: is something that we could survive on, uh, nor be
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: able to keep up with NFL playoffs is going on.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We're into that. We've got so many topics to jump into.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with us here during Snowmageddon.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: We see y'all in the comments. No, James, I am
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: not in your I am in your sea. Actually probably
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I could totally see that. My bad, My apologies, James.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: That's actually Tofer's fault. We'll blame him. For that one,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: But no, we appreciate y'all coming and hanging out the season.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: We're preparing ourselves for next season. Baby, winter Wonderland looks beautiful.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm looking out there now, like, dang, things are
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: starting to come down again here. That's uh here in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the southern part. So I'm wondering if we're gonna get
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: if it's gonna continue to be nasty over the next
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: couple of days. It looks like it's not supposed to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: get anymore, but I wouldn't be.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Surprised it's gonna stayt obviously. The kiddos are gonna I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: mean it's been worse throughout I mean, I know, like
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: there were some areas in Mississippi and Tennessee that had
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: some really really bad ice areas, and uh so yeah,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: it's you know, we get the pretty snow and what
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: is it probably like ten degrees outside and so man,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: just you know, it's always enjoy this that the kids,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: you know, like I said, to go outside and my son, man,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I like have to like force him to come back in,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you know, to offer him like snacks or something like that,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: because the dude was outside for like eight hours yesterday
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and I was like, it's like ten degrees, bro, you
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: need to come inside.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Is he is he a husky?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: He is? He is? He wishes that he was a part?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Is he part of husky? It seems it always cracks
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: me up whenever it snows in Oklahoma and people to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: actually own huskies and have the videos of the husky
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: going out there sleeping in the snow and people are like,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: oh my god, you need to let your dog in
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the house. It's like, no, this is his natural habitat.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: This is actually where he wants to be. It's in
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: this cold weather right here. And no, it cracks me up, uh,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: seeing those because it's the truth. It's you know, it's cold,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Like you said, it's cold, it is cold outside. But
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I digress. Let's jump into the big news out there.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Feel free to jump in the comments, give us your questions.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: We'll answer them, Uh, if you if you wanted to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: be answered immediately, super Chet's always the best way if
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you want or if you want it to be done
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: later on in the show, which we're going to do
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a whole Q and a later well, we'll just talk
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: about what's going on and answer y'all's questions. I've been
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: starring them as we.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Go, and I think I think Jay has got a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: little Snowmageddon on the on the internet. So start off
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: by you know, obviously one of the bigger pieces of
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: news new ad has been hired.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: There were a couple of different people whose names were
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: out there, and obviously we had the search committee with
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: with some great uh some great you know sooner who
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: are currently Sooners and former Sooners. Uh, you know, people
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: like Kensey Hansen, Sam Bradford, and so we we have
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: landed on the associate uh uh a d from Illinois,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: a really really you know, great background just now gotten
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: into sports, uh, you know, not too long ago. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: you know, just from my opinion, there's there's a big
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: piece of that which is you know that that whole
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: position is going to be completely done. There we go. Hey,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: that position is going to be completely different than it
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: used to Now. It's going to be about raising money. Hey,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: there you go, Jay, welcome back. Uh. I'm glad you
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: could you could join me here. But it's about raising money,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: getting the the folks you know on board for a
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: lot of the the the legal stuff. You know, obviously
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the rules are changing. You know, we're at kind of
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the wild wild West again. Uh. You know people made
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: comments about you know people, the paying of the players
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: has always happened. You can just bring the money through
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the front door, you know nowadays instead of the back door.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: But Roger Jenny, uh you know, looking looks like a
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: little you know, he's a little bit of on the young,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: younger side. So that's good because you want him to
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: be successful and be around here for a little while.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: But when it comes to fundraising, I know that he
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: just brought a hundred million dollar gift into Illinois here recently.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Don't think he can bring that money with him. Yeah,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I don't think he can bring it. But yeah, so
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: so if if you're looking to uh you know, donate
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: your one hundred million to the University of Oklahoma, Uh,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: give Roger a call. But Jay, I mean, what are
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: your thoughts on this? Because there were some rumors on
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the a mc CEO who stepped down and then obviously
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: this broke you know late was it late Friday? But uh,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I personally like it. Yeah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: The one biggest rumor I was hearing go whatnot that
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of people was really running with and hoping
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that would happen was Stoops. I thought that was a
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: very interesting rumor in itself, like there's no way Bob
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Stoops is going to become the ad, but I would
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: not be opposed to it, right Like, I think that
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: would have been an interesting one if they went that route.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: But na Bob wasn't it uh? And the biggest rumors
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: was it was gonna be outside of They were gonna
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: think outside the box and go outside of the college
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: football world. For the majority of us, the casuals, the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: main you know, the uninitiated here, this hire doesn't really
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: matter as much as people will want to make it,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: seing his job is all behind the scene stuff. He's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: gonna have to hire do some hiring of coaches and stuff. Right.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: The expectation is Portamosia does not survive. On the basketball side,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: they keep losing these heartbreakers. How do you have two
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: buzzard beaters, one lead sends you to overtime and one
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: loses you the game. It's just at this point the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: basketball gods are saying, yeah, it's time move on. So
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I think that that will happen before Roger gets into place,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: which is February fifteenth, is my is what I saw
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: post it so since that's the case, because the Board
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of Regents actually meets this Thursday. That's when you'll see
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the contract extensions. You'll see new contracts, proposed hirings, all
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of that stuff, and the end of contracts that happened
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in which we've got one end of contract to talk
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: about in a moment. But him coming from Illinois with experience,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: how good Illinois's been over the last few years. I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: ain't complaining. I actually don't think that's a bad thing
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: at all. They Illinois has done well in all sports
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: with him there. He's been a part of the hiring.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Like you said, he had one hundred million dollar gift
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that he's spearheaded. He's a lawyer who has experienced with
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: contract negotiations and things of that nature. As we all
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: understand what the changes in collegiate sports, collective bargaining pieces
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: are going to start coming in language for that stuff's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: gonna start showing up soon. So yeah, I think it's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a good r I think it's just I mean, it
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: makes sense to go with someone with someone with experience
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: in that capacity, and if things work out properly, he'll
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: be here the next twenty five years and he'll hopefully
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: get at least one national championship under his belt.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: You know, like I said, just coming out, I think
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: he just got into the the ad type of role
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: here in the past, was it three or four years
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: and so, you know, like I was saying, that whole
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: job is different now than it's ever been. So having
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: somebody who has a ton of experience on how it
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: has been played out for the longest time, I mean,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a humongous asset. I got
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: to think that more and more, especially with you know,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: the next subject we're gonna go to, You're gonna see
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of the a lot of people have been
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: in place for a while. You know, they still have
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: things to offer, and so you're gonna see some you know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: some support roles built around the athletic department, around the
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: football team, around the basketball team, so that you can
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: have more and more people kind of working on the
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: program and taking you know, small jobs, because you know,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: coaching is just as hard as it's ever been. There's
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: probably more factors in it too, since you're trying to
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: integrate not only just incoming freshmen, but then incoming transfers
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: every single cycle, and then on top of that you've
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: got the money raising situation, and so bringing somebody like this,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: who's again the money is big Because as much as
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the REV share portion is, you know, that was kind
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: of kind of a you know, a piece of duct
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: tape or a flex seal on a cracking dam. You know,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: the changes that are going to happen over the next
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: maybe five years to ten years are still going to
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: be pretty monumental.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty poor on the NCAA's efforts to try
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to get some of this stuff in place. But I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: think they did that on purpose. You know, if y'all
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: ever listened, if you've listened to me talk over the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: last what's this six months or so, I've pointed out
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: that I don't think anything that's happening right now is coincidental.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I think this was by design by the NCAAA so
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that they can get Congress to go ahead and do
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the work for them they didn't want to do. Yeah,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Like they could have had all this stuff laid out,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: they could have had plans, they could have built the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: collective bargaining piece they're gonna start to put all this
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: stuff into place. They didn't want to. They want somebody
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: else to do it for them. So the better way
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: is letting, and you can't let humans make this decision
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: on their own right. It's the reason why you have
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: governments and things of that nature. We are habitual line steppers,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and we have a tendency of being selfish. We're going
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to try to push the envelopees further as far as possible,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: regardless of how fair and unfair could be. So I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: don't know why the NCAAA thought that this was gonna
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: work out in their favor or make them even look good,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: or even help them get Congress and make some moves.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Some people liked the chaos, not gonna lie, kind of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: enjoy it sometimes kind of fun. I'm not complaining.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I mean obviously when it's chaos. When it's chaos happening
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: to like other teams, and when you're watching, you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, the Jalen Rashota stuff, and
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: then you're watching the the you know, the kid from Oregon,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: you know, try to you know, take it down somewhere else,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and then now Darien menso like that's all cute and
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: funny and it's entertaining when it's not your program. But
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: you know, I know that all of us who were
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: watching our defensive line get kind of shook in the
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: middle of the summer with David Stone that you know,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that wasn't that wasn't terrific. So yeah, as long as
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: it's not you, it's pretty entertaining.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: You have a lot of people that that wasn't very
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: fun for them. They weren't very happy about it, But
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I digress. It's not gonna happen. Let's welcome Roger Jinny
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: to the program and we look forward to see what
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: you put together and the new era of college football civilization.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Thank you all for pulling up here on this very
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: very cold Sunday. Hit the light button if you need
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to the channel, subscribe, rate review, give us five stars.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned before, Thursday is the Board of Regents
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and that's when they bring a lot of stuff to
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the table, like contracts, and I think I'm assuming Roger
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: in these contracts gonna be placed there as well compensation
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: because all that stuff's public information as far as employees
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of the school. So you'll see that. Jenny's a great question.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Jenk asked the question, Oh, do you think EJ will
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: be gone? No, he's been out on doing the visits
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: he's been out doing the selling and the recruiting. I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: don't think he's gone. I think his contract gets renewed
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: here this week and it gets officially done during the war.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: But speaking of contracts, though, Coop, we got a big
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: change coming. Pretty this is actually a pretty big one.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I think this is one.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And it happens again.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Blinking again if I see you, just fine.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's happening. So as you.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Beautiful snow. Yeah, I'm back and it's a beautiful snow.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you snow. I appreciate you disrespecting me in this weather.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I hate your guts. That's pointing to my window right now.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: That's why. Uh, I'm back. So how'm a fight you
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: toe for? Don't you dare screenshot? I swear I will,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I will, I will find you and I will poke
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you in your eye. Do not do me that way.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Jerry Schmidt, rumor has it, he is moving on from
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: straight the conditioning side to a new role and it's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: like elite performance.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, moving into this new role where you know he's
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: gonna step aside. Uh. This is a this is a
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: situation where Jerry came back to you. Uh, you know,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: after a brief stint I think Lincoln had a little
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: something to do with him, you know, not being retained,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: and you know he leaves over to Texas A and
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: m for for a short stint, comes back, and this
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: is one thing that I was talking about, is you
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: want to offer Jerry Schmidt is very very valuable to
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: this program and having him, you know, in some kind
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: of a support type of a role uh still here.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: You know, that's obviously something that a lot of people
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: wanted to make decisions on. And so now he's going
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: to be stepping aside, and we're going to have We're
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: gonna have mister Dobson stepping in for taking over, got
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: a couple of other coaches in, so you know, it's
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a it's a decision that a lot
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: of people have you know, really really seen, uh you know,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: seem to you know, enjoy and felt good about. So
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: you'll get a the end of summertime with Schmidty, uh
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: you know types of stories. You know, those things have
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: been really really exciting for people to talk about.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: You know, jud Schmidt I had had a great had
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a Jay might have to sacrifice a live chicken here
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: to uh to the internet gods but hey, there you go,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: there you go.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: You're you're we're not doing We're not sacrificing.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Clearly, I see you, clearly.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, keep going, continue. I'm listening to you. I'm in
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the background. I keep here. You can hear you. Just fine.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: It's just weird that everything else is acting weird. I
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: think everybody trying to stream because it's it's it's snowma
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: getting all the way through through the South, so everybody's
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: thinking they should be doing it at the same time
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: without realizing this is the time slot that we have
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: christened for ourselves.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Disrespect disrespectful and the Uh. But anyway, let me know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, what support what are your you know, what
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: are your feelings with this? Uh? You know, obviously there
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: there has been a lot of people who, you know, question,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: did Jerry Schmid have a lot to do with the injuries?
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Was it the the way that we were doing, you know,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: doing practices. You know, you saw a ton of injuries
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: happened on the offensive side of the ball. Uh. You know,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Jay and I've been really, really, really really intense about
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the fact that when you have such a you know,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: it's such an aggressive, punishing defense that you're going to
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: see a lot of those type situations happen on the
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: offensive side, you know. So personally, I think Jerry Schmidt
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: moving into a role, you know, I think it is
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: a paradigm shift that's going to happen that we're going
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: to see more and more of over the next couple
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: of years. Uh. You know, as you see you know, coaches,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: you know who you know have great ties to the program.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: You know, if you can move them into a a
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: role like that, that's the that's the way that you
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: can you know, still keep them ready and so but
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: we're starting to see it already. Uh, you know some
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: of the spring test, the I guess the winter testing
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: numbers that you know, the income are starting to come
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: through and get after it. But Jerry Schmidt no longer
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: going to be the strength and conditioning coach at Oklahoma.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: And I think that we'll probably see officials unless they
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: do it like Joe John Finley where they just don't
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: ever say anything about it. But but we'll probably see
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: something official here after the Border Regions meeting. Like you said,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: it's on Thursday, Yeah, it's on Thursday.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: They have the It starts on the twenty ninth, and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: it'll be going I think twenty ninth and thirtieth, so
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that's when that comes through. You'll have those changes, but
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: not Schmidty do a great but especially of this on
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: the defense is because of him, right, That's where that
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: comes from.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: The funny thing is is that I see you think
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: peg City in the comments that his tactic will outbeit
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: it they weren't that. Literally what you saw were we
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: had one of the toughest defensive lines in the country
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: for a reason, right, Coop, Like, am I crazy to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: even believe or think that?
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I mean when it, like I said, when it's one
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: side of the ball and you see the focus of
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: the team and the you know what BV wanted this
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: team to be again a relentless, punishing defense, and when
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you saw that side of the team just absolutely go crazy.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I mean it's hard. So obviously anybody has to go
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: into this type of you know, you know, this type
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: of coaching realm and make adjustments. And so you know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: maybe we'll see some adjustments from the strength and conditioning team.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe that's you know, that's something that's just
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: news leadership, But I don't think it's because you know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Jerry Schmidt was you know, still trying to run people
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: like he was training them for you know, World War
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: two or career or something like that, Like it's the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: job is to get strong.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and bring in Dobson who was hired twenty twenty
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: two to the staff. James is a couple of things.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: One he coached it at Nebraska during the was that
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the second bow Polini era or or whatnot. They went
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: They only lost they lost four, no more than four
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: games that year. They won a minimum of nine games
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: in the like six years he was there, they were
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: like nine and four, ten and four, ten and four,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: ten and four, nine and four, like they literally only
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: even won nine or ten games the entire time he
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: was there at Nebraska. And one of his main prodig
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: prodigies there was in Donakan Sue y'all know, didn't done Kansue.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: That was a freak, like a legitimate freak, and Dobson
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: was the head trainer there for that. Now, Dobson does
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: do things a lot less old school, still with the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: old school toughness, but more modern uses modern tech, very
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: very progressive in that capacity. He likes to make sure
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: everybody's tough and make sure that everybody still can cause problems.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: So that's all that matters. So if you want to
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: maintain that tough like I told y'all to have the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: type of team we want, you're gonna have collateral damage.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: And speaking of that, that's where I think an actual
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: big adjustment's gonna happen, not only with the strength and conditioning,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: but even practice for this squad. I know that the
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: staff has recognized that depth is now at a premium
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: in today's college football world. Players are looking for the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: opportunity to start. And if your team is good, you
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: can't just stack talent on talent constantly. You can only
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: stack talent with young talent that is ready to move in.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And when you have those moments where the youngest talent
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: is more talented than the starting talent and they take over,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: those guys bounce example, Ivon Jordan, he knew he wanted
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to get on the field. He knew that he wasn't
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to be a starting corner, but he
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: can go play somewhere. Gentry Gentry knew that, hey, Cortland's
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: got it, can't do anything about that same Eli, So
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Gentry's gone to Georgia, who could use another corner and
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: guess what, he's probably end up starting there right or
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: he's gonna at least be a very heavy rotational piece
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: if he's healthy. Jane Hardy goes to Colorado, He's starting
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: at Colorado. I'm just gonna tell you that right now.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: He will be the starting safety there. And what matters
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: is is starting getting taped and playing. So with that
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: point being, you gotta adjust how you practice, how hard
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you go, because your goal is to be healthy. Miami
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: was healthy end of the year. Indiana for the most part,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: was healthy at the end of the year. You're gonna
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: have to build and train and practice so that your
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: body maintains being healthy. And so that being said, I
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: can see Oklahoma doing the same thing. The collateral damage
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: will not be there as much. We're gonna have to
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: cut back, to write Jimmy, We're gonna have to cut
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: back to make sure that we don't take each other out.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: So that's something to keep in mind with how you'll
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: probably hear about practices and stuff like that going forward.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you're you have to hit on your
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: evaluations more than probably you ever had to in the past,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: because if you do lose those second tier guys like
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: a Marcus Strong, like a Davon Jordan, like a Jaden Hardy.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Now you have to go, all right, is my freshman
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: or my sophomore in those one or two spots going
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: to be able to hold it down while somebody recovers
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: from you know, hopefully a Dean here or there. But
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: it's football. I mean, injuries are a part of the game.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: It's always been a part of the game. I mean,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: obviously as as a Dinver broad Cos fan, like watching
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: trying to go to the Super Bowl with a guy
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: who hasn't played quarterback in two years. You know, that's
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: not it's not somewhere anybody wants to be in. But
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: it's saying, you know, at the same time, like being
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: healthy is somewhat of a of a lucky unlucky deal,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: and sometimes it just crushes down on on certain teams.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: And you know, we saw two years ago, sometimes you
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: can avoid the major injury. And that's where you see
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of people you know, with you know, conversations,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: And it's any sport, I mean, it's basketball. Look at
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: the thunder right now. Uh, you know you're missing a
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: lot of guys. You look at you know, any of
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the teams with in college football, and everybody's going to
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: hopefully that you can field some really good starters and
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: then you can as the year goes on, you can
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: get some of the young guys, uh snaps, which means
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: from Oklahoma, you're gonna want to see this year. We
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: got to I mean, we really really be good about
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: putting games that we can put away early so that
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: you can get some snaps for younger guys. You want
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: to be able to see, you know, if if you
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: go out against you know, in game one and get
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: a Jacob Curry or you know, some of the younger
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: linebackers in to you know, to to to see some
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: game action and not being knockdown drag outs every single
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: week because uh, BB will play people that he trusts.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's why you see Courtland Gillery run out there.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Uh and you know, just kind of take it off
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: right right right from the beginning this year. But you're
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: not always going to have a guy come in as
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: a freshman and and be you know, a freshman All American.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: That's you're not gonna be lucky like that all the time.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: But gotta put gotta don't play with your food if
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: you want to you want to drive depth, don't play
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: with your food.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you have to make sure that you you
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: train at a level that can be replicated on the
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: game field while also not taking nobody out. That's gonna
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: be the hard part. I'm gonna be honest. It's not
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: gonna be easy for just the staff in general. We
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: we like to hit people. We like to make sure
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: we go out there and we're tough. Hey, if there's
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: anything we could do, truth be told, we really could
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: take a take a page out of the Indiana book.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Sig has a particular type of practice schedule, and I think,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: honestly it it's similar to what you know Saban does.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: It wasn't something that was that's just revolutionary. It's, you know,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: we we do things in particular time. We try to
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: be as efficient as possible. We don't waste time, which
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think we do it here. I think we're
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: really good at that. But it's it's less hitting when
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: you don't need to hit MH. But you know your
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: players need to ring toughness. A good thing is though
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I believe that this team, the staff, these players are
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: super tough. So I don't think that's gonna be UH.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: That should not be an issue in itself. So well,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: let's transition from there. Let's talk about the winner stuff.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Who we who we think is probably gonna show up
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: big time in the UH in the winter training. But
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: first we're gonna give a shout out to our partners
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: over they're at Sleeper. If you ain't check them out
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the Deadly Fantasy Ball, y'all know, y'all missing out, Just
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: use the promo code unfair. They'll match your first to
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: pize one hundred percent up one hundred dollars. And as
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I've talked about numerous times, I've been having the Sleeper
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: app downloaded for years. I've used them for season long,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and they're more than that. I even get all my
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: notifications by hires. I saw Ohio State got was that
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Arthur Smith as their new offensive coordinator. That's kind of
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: wild surprise. They didn't go back to Chip Kelly. Sounds
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: like they could. They just missed the opportunity to bring back,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: you know, a former NATAL Championship winning offensive court that
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: was actually on their roster. But you know, whatever else
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: they bring in. They're bringing in Arthur Smith from the NFL,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: which you know, whatever if they feel like that's gonna work.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Do it?
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Do you, boo? But I also, you know, play some
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: of the daily fantasy stuff. So when you make picks
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: or whatnot, all you gotta do is pick two more
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: players more or less on the stats. Makes it easy
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: for you to win. So right now you got some
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: hockey stuff, pick five, five or more players more or
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: less on the numbers. You can win some bucks. Coop
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: won some, so that means you probably can too, So
• 29:06

• 29:09
  Speaker 1: deposit at one hundred percent up to one hundred dollars.
• 29:12

  Speaker 1: great stuff available. Terms of conditions apply to see sleepers
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: terms of use for details, they got to pull it
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: up at the light button. New to the channel, subscribe
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: rate review give us five stars if you like the
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: audio version. It's an audio version. You can hear Coop
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: crystal clear on there. While my Internet is being very
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: disrespectful for this evening, All right, Coop. I did a
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: video for Snowmagedton this weekend, and I kind of talked
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: about some of the newcomers at five Transfers five freshmen
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: that I feel like will be be very impactful. So
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: when I looked at my freshman to start, of course,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Hatten's on my list, sounds like he showed up
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: at two hundred and twenty. So the listing that they
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: had on the numbers there appears to be from the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: recruiting profile. He two twenty. He a big running back. Yeah,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: is that who we're looking for? He's showing up. He
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: made a Zephyn Walker ass for a running back room
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: that needed some some definite depth, definitely competitive depth, and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: it appears is gonna work out for us. Uh. Freshman wise,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: who you like, who you excited about coming through? Cool?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I mean I always want to start out with a
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: guy like Jay Crow. Jake is a guy who when
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: you've seen whether it was down at IMG, he's playing
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: elevated competition.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: He goes to the camps, he has just destroyed people.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I think one of the one of the camps earlier
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: in the year. He goes out and he loses his
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: first rep and then he just comes back like a
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: tornado with a with a vengeance and just absolutely embarrasses
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of four and five star guys. And so
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're gonna need more impact on the defensive line,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: and so that's where you hope that you know, maybe
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: you get in a spot to where he can earn
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: some pass rush. Uh. You know when you look at him,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I mean a lot of people you know say something
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: like Dan Cody, I see some of the relentless pursuit
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: that you see, you know in the past, or you
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: know current Denver Bronco, Nick Benito. You know, he's very
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: very fast, very explosive, he's got great bend. He's got
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of the attributes that you have to go
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: out there and try to teach. And so I know
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: that you're gonna be running out with Taylor Wine, pj
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: adib Or, I, You're gonna have Dannie Okoye, and you
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: know some of the younger guys like Wuyatt Gilmour. But
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: if you can have Jay Crow come in and you know,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: get himself, you know really going yeah. I mean Felix Ojoe,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: you know who apparently everybody gets a chance to win
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: a rep against him, So he's just doing charity for everybody.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: He's baiting us, He's he's bait us. But Jake Crell
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: is one that I'm really really excited to see because
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I want to see him get some of the strengths
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: and conditioning. Uh, you know, as he gets a little
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: bit older, gets more of that, you know, early grown
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: man's strength on top of it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Also, so the old line is actually bringing four guys
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: that have started at one point for Susi Foje, Mike
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Law as well as epl. Technically I think heith Os
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Eida did start a game once this year. I need
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: to go verify if he did. So in that case
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: that's true. Okay, you might be right, there might be five. Uh,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: they're actually maybe five. I'm gonna verify that real quick
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: because that kind of that's a very good question because I.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Don't And and the transfer from Arkansas, I mean, he's
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: he started too, so I mean you're bringing him in too,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: so I mean you've got a lot of starts. And
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: now it's finding, as always the best five and getting
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: those guys to stay healthy and you know, to learn.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I think one of the biggest misses that we had
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: this year on the offensive line, which now we're switching
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: subject sir, but you know, it is the fact that
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: you know, we didn't have like a you know, something
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: that we hung our hat on because there's so much
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: shuffling in and out, and so when you have you know,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Simmon's going out with the the concussions, you had several injuries.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I mean there were a lot of times that uh man,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I mean Fabichi Weiwa was out there playing you know
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: with h duck, duct tape, dreams and popsicle sticks, you know,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: just barely held together. So you know, that offensive line
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: you need, all that experience is there. The snaps have
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: been there, so now it's the progression. Yep.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: And that's a very good question here. Betlam asked the
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: question about how many snaps between them. Go ahead and
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: pull that up for y'all real quick. Let me go
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: pull the blocking up.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, while while you're looking that up, you know, because
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: again the original question you asked was, you know, freshman.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: One of the five freshmen that you know we're excited
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: to see. I think another one that I'm really really
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: excited to see is you know, you you got the
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: easy uh you know, the easy picks like you you
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: just mentioned with uh, you know, guys like Jayden Pettitt.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: You know he is, you know, obviously a big body,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: but on the offensive defensive line. I mean I think
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: if Brian Harris and Deacon Schmidt are two guys that
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: this staff loves. Deacon Schmidt kind of reminds me and
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I and this is going to you know, make people
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: maybe flinch a little bit. But the promise that Jake
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Sexton showed so early that Deacon is a workhorse, you know,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: that's what he's I love skill position, but let's be honest.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be on the offensive line
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: is going to be you know, it is going to
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: take us about as far as we can go this year.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: And if your defense, you know, does have a little
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: bit of the depth issues, you're gonna need the offense
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: to pull itswaight way more than than they did in
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: twenty five. So so yeah, two offense, two linemen between uh,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Deacon and and Brian Harris. Those are two guys that
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I really want to see, you know, get in here
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: and get after it early.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Ace Hodges is the one that switched to center
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: but snaps wise on the offensive line two thousand, six
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three on those five players from Heath
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: to Fasusi, Foge, Mike La and EPL pretty darn good
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: and EPL was actually credited with uh, I'm sorry with
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: uh Osida was credited with seven starts, so he started
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: all the way up to O miss can't beat that, Yeah,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I think so it's actually pretty dark good. And EPL
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: took over from Tennessee Ford, which that's five starts, and
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: he started at the Illinois State game, so this six
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: starts for him last season. You got a lot more
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: experience on that line now than people anticipate. So epls
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: got over five hundred snaps on his career, Ozaida has
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: what he's got over a thousand snaps.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: On his career in life for a thousand.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike clab and me see Oseida sitting at one
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: thousand and thirty two to be exact.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: For Susie at seven, I think he was at seven hundred. Uh,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: MICHAELA seven ten for Susie is at six seventy six.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: From last season, you got a ton of experience. I
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: got this be physical to go out there and push
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: people around. They have the opportunity to do it, and
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: truth be told, I think offensive line wise, you may
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: actually see osaidah with that. I was part of the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: starting lineup again, and all they gotta do is just
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: go be bullies and run people over and I think
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Dobson can get them to that point from there. Though,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: back to the freshman conversation, of course, I know Hadden's
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: one that I am beloved, but I think players that
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: we aren't talking about enough. I think Daniel Odam is one.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: He was the top you know, he was a top
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: one fifty player in the country at wide receiver six
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: to two coming in and roughly by two hundred pounds.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: He's gonna I think he's gonna surprise some folks. Man.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: He was one that a lot of people tried to
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: snatch from us, and he just kept he said he
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: would do some businesses like nah, I'm good, backed off
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: of them, and we even thought we were gonna lose him.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: When j O'Neill uh decommitted and went to Florida State
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: stuck around, He's like, no, I like this, I'm good.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: You've got a good wide receiver crop, You've got obviously
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: some good running backs Between the Zephyn Walker and Hattan,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: A lot of those guys were people that you know,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: everybody wanted where where you're where you're gonna see is
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: this was the you know, real first cycle that you had,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: you know, the the great evals and I'm and I'm
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: kind of hearing already that uh, you know, our our
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: our ginger linebacker, uh has come in and has already
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: getting people, you know, to be kind of excited. So
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Jacob Curry, you know, he's a Brent Vnable type of linebacker.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: He is a hard worker. You've got the twins, the
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: jan drow brothers. You know those guys, you know they
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: live in the gym. And so the the culture is set,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: all the offenses set, the defense is set. And if
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: there is anything that you're going to see is now
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: you're not trying to teach a defensive scheme to the
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: entire team. You're not trying to teach a offensive scheme
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: to the to the entire team. You're gonna be able
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: to see that. So hopefully offensive line a lot of
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: snaps that gives you a chance to run the offense
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: how you want to. And I know that there's a
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: lot of there's a lot of you know, people who say, hey, listen, RPO,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: stuff like I want to see that go away. It
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: was the same stuff that we saw when Gabriel was
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: here with Levy and then the same conversations we saw
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: with Jackson Arnold, Like, listen, if you're better on the
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: offensive line, some of that stuff gets better. And then
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: also if the talent on that receiver is a little
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: bit better, then then some of that gets better too.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: So it's it's a it's a big year on the
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: offensive side because you need you need, you need people
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: to to to progress and you want to see John Montanna,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: you know, like I said, it starts the offensive line.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: And then the next one up is Materi with his eyes,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: because if he has confidence in where he's going, knows
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: where he's supposed to be going, has good eyes with
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: what's going on the the the poor footweark typically follows
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: with the good eyes question.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Is does Jacob Curry snatch the Moniker, the ginger moniker
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: that everyone likes to toss around as his new name.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Will he steal that away from our other redhead.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Des idel line. I mean, you're gonna get the moniker
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: if you're out there making plays, that's plain and simple.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: And if Heath can get himself healthy and get to
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: the spot. I mean there was a time when Heath
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: rotated in and everybody said, all right, this guy is
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: pushing folks around. Well, then the reason why he lost
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: his job injury and EPO came in and was pushing
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: folks around. So we got to get to that spot.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: We got to find those those core nuances.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: When we were in the GC counter with Lincoln here,
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: that's why we were known for. We ran it. We
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: ran it well, we ran it to a tee, and
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: it's what people wanted to come in and stop. This
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: past year we didn't have that. Therefore, we rotated in
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of different blocking schemes. And when you're rotating
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: different blocking schemes and you're not really good at anything
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: or great at anything specifically, you're kind of in a
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: search for what can we be good at? And if
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: you go a snokelohom a breakdown, if you want to
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: hear a guy talk about the offensive line in a
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: favorable or unfavorable way, the game is going to be
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: the first one that says, hey, you got to find
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: something that you're good at and you got to execute
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: it well. You can't piss poor execute it, you know.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: And a lot of the time this past year also,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: it wasn't even that the entire offensive line was failing.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: It was you would have four guys kicking ass and
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: doing the right thing, and then you'd have one guy
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: that just ooof and whether it was a tied end
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: or whether it was an offensive lineman, you can't you
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: can't have those oofs. You got to you gotta get
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: out there and do it, do it right, because it's
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: hard for Jeometier to get his eyes correct when he's
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: seeing a guy just come unblocked at him, you know,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: so intermittently, and that's gonna get him, that's gonna speed
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: him up. He's always gonna be thinking about that. So
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: the offensive line can do their job by being healthy
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: and being physical.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, being healthy and physical is critical if you want
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: to be successful here in you know, college football in
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: the SEC and all of that. And I think it
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: will get there defensively though, as I've been digging through
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of the film on the freshmen and are
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: coming in seeing the size of the jing Row twins
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: six foot roughly to ten, they're they're I mean, they're
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: already physical physically physical specimens right, They're already big, swollen.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how much further they can be elevated,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: how much faster they can get, how much stronger they
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: can get, and how physical they are on the field
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: and hitting people. Was just going back watching their high
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: school tape. Though, Coop not gonna lie. They've got my
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: attention is more of underrated guys. I actually think one
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: of them one, if not both, may end up in
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the two to three D at safety as well as linebacker. Cheatah.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: More so than anything, I think they're both perfect for
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: the Brent Ventibles. Cheatah Bilt that's usually roughly a size
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: of a dB, but that hits like a linebacker and
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: the strong like a linebacker. The Reggie Powers basically is
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: like the perfect example of what Brent Vinibles looks like
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: looks for in one Cheetah, his other cheatsh is usually
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: ginormous human being. You know the Kend' Daniel sizes Isaiah
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Simmons that the sign of color sizes. You know, if
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: you Mcalor would have got up to two fifty and
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: was able to play in coverage, he was perfect. Yeah,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: that's what Bev tries to get his hands on. But yeah,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: the question is going to be, how do how much
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: further did Jane Drew Twins go? They have gotten my
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: attention even more in watching the tape. They may be
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: some they may take some heads off. Keep your eyes open.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: To that, especially on special teams. I mean, that's if
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: you want to get your name known, go do it
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: on special teams. I mean, I think there's a lot
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: of guys like uh, you know, Christian Moore, you know,
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: guys like markel Ford, some of those guys. You know,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: you come in, you do your job, you become you know,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: somebody that's coaching staff can depend on that your assignment
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: sounds and that's your efforts always there. You've You've got
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys who you know that that's where
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: they become, you know, the beginning of their you know
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: process is is on special teams and our special teams. Uh,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: you know, I'd like to see I mean, I'd like
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: to see us, you know, get back to that spot
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: where you know, you know that you can create a
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: turnover on special teams, that you can hit guys hard
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: that they are going to be more willing to fair
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: catch the ball. And because you know, I think that
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: some field position times in some critical games, we uh,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: you know, special team is gonna cost us this year.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So Lloyd asked the question here, Pretinia, which
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: one of the Jandel twins are you excited about both.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: But Bow along Packer, I know that he has a
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: ran a four or five laser that's really good at his.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Side as he happens again, Yeah, there's.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I know right, Vin said, while you were talking Coop
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: zero problem nothing while Coop is talking nothing when it's
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: me issues anyway, No Bow runs. You know he's listed
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: as a four or five laser. I think is as well.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I think Nico's gonna want to be the one that
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: ends up playing the earliest truth be told because Boganowski
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: there's a spot right behind him ready for somebody to take.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I think Bow could find a way at that cheater
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: role right behind RP three. It just depends on how
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: well he picks up the book. Yeah, that cheat, that
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: that cheater roll is gonna be interesting going forward as
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: to who takes that spot with Reggie, because we ain't
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: got nobody really right. Sammy rotated there a little bit.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: You had h Kendall Daniels RP three. You also had
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a mixture with I think Taylor
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: hein ran out there a little bit sometimes too. He
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: could be your big cheetah, especially if he may not
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: put on enough weight. But he may end up being
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: the big cheetah that's just in the way at you know,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: six six to you know to twenty five to thirty.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: But I do think that Bow is the one that's
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: probably the one's gonna end up on the field the
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: earliest when it comes today.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot. I mean, this is this is
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: the type of recruiting class that you can definitely get
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: excited about. And uh, you know what I would say
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: as to the fans is you're going to hear stuff
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: during spring. You're going to hear stuff during testing. You're
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: going to hear stuff during fall about guys that are
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: just absolutely bawling out. Sometimes that is, hey, listen, I
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: want to recognize somebody who I think can take an
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: extra step, and I'm trying to give them that motivation.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's hey, I want to recognize somebody that's behind somebody.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: We want to be doing better. So I would just say,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously be excited about some of these people.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: You really didn't hear about Courtland Gillery doing much until
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: late late in the fall after several practices, and so
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: you know, just let them get in here. I mean,
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: obviously that's why you want everybody in here. Early. Hopefully
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: we get a spring game this year. I know that
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: that's going to probably be on the conversation piece for
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: you know, the Border Regions meeting, and just yeah, I
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: don't don't know if the new new guy is going
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: to have anything to say about that. But I think
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: that one of the big reasons why you didn't do
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: the spring game is so that you could avoid some
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: of that spring transfer portal, you know, Shenanigans. But now
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: that you don't have that, maybe we'll see the return
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: of the transfer portal exactly the spring game.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Spring game, Well, carl I asked a really good question European.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Who was one freshman All American you can see on
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: the offensive side and one on defense? Freshman All Americans?
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: All Right, If I was to have to pick one
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: on offense, Jonathan Hadden, that's gonna be my pick. I'm
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: gonna stick to.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: It for me and Jay. I think it's important to
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: say why too, we did get Lloyd Devant. You do
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: have you do have the two incumbent, but I think
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: that both ex rob Andory are going to be mending
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: during the spring and it's going to give Hatton an
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: opportunity to come in. Hatton I mean, it's hard to
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: say things like this and not get people overly excited.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: But Jonathan Hatton is an Adrian Peterson comp Like, that's
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: that's who people see. They see Adrian Peterson, they see
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: oh goodness, gracious, the the LSU running back that was
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Leonard Fournette. You know, they see guys like that when
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: you see Jonathan Hatten, like, there's a reason why he
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: was very very very highly sought after. And I think
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: that if Hatton gets the opportunity to really start from
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: the get go, you know, and make the job his
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: to lose, and you know, as the two guys recover,
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: he hits a leg up. I just don't know if
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: there's anybody else outside of maybe Petit. I don't know
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: if there's anybody else who has like that that path
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: to overcome, you know, somebody who's already been on the
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: team or a transfer portal guy right from the get go.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: It's fair point defense. Ifiles a pick of defensive All
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: American on there right now, it's probably Jake Crill probably
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: the easiest pick. I could see him finding a way
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: to rotate with age. You know, we got a lot
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: of edges, We got a lot more Edges. I thought
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: he could sneak his way in there and make himself
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: a freshman All American. I think he's probably I'd say
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: it's probably him out of all of them.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because typically I would say, let's go with again
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: a Brian Harris. If Brian Harris balls out, like if
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: he's better than both Jadon Jackson and David Stone, like,
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: we have ourselves a really, really good problem. But I
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: don't think that it's very easy to be in a
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: freshman All American, you know, running as the number three
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: or number four guy. You know, we saw Jayden Jackson
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: kind of in and out, you know, his freshman year,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: and he didn't get that Moniker. Now on the defensive side,
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: I think it could be a little bit easier just
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: because of the fact that you have a lot of
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: attention people know that this defense is stocked full of playmakers.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, you've got he's gonna have to
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: plow through guys like Trent Wilson, you know, on the
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: inside as the defensive tackles, you're gonna have to play
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: out plow through Trent Wilson, You're gonna have to go
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: through David and Jaden and potentially Nigel. So there's there's
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of traffic out in front of him,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: so I'll go crazy, I'll go crazy. Jane markel Ford,
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: I think he's one that I think he's one that
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: folks could kind of pay attention to because he's got
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: that same mentality of Courtland Gillery and you can maybe
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: see him at the cheatah spot or maybe see him
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: at a safety spot if you get opportunity to have.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: You know, you got O'maron Robinson back there, You've got
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Peyton Bowen and you've got Boganowski and I'm just gonna
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: say we we like to play a lot of safeties
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: and there's nobody like you mentioned, nobody back behind reg
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: as far as like the Cheetah spot goes. So you know, God, God,
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: you know, forbid any type of an injury on the
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: safety room. But markel Ford's one of those guys that
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: I think that's it, that's a good one to pay
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: attention to because I think he has he has a
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: couple of different paths.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Yep. Markl Ford's a really good one. I remember, you
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: know later in the in the cycle picking him up.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: He likes to hit two like the good thing is
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of hits like like make it try more.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Go to Christian Moore, He's one that could be a shocker.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: The biggest thing for me at the linebacker room is
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: I need to see who's gonna who would be able
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: to overtake like Nesta Marcus James based upon how that
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: room operates, right, I guess the toughest position to play
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: in a Breadventable's defense. He requires so much of them
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: and some people can come in and play like that
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: very well. Sometimes it takes time, and I think, to me,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: that's what makes it tough at the linebacker spot for
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: me is seeing if someone can go in there and
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: really push those out guys out the way. Because I
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: think Nest is going to be really good this year.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: I think this is the year he breaks out. Same
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: thing even with Marcus James. Think Marcus James shows up
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: and surprises a lot of folks. Also, all right, transfers
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: offensive transfer who's one that you think could who's gonna
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: be the game changer for you? Because we had a
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: lot of them on offense.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you want me how about this? I
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: feel like I know where you're gonna go. So maybe
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Marian Harris on the offensive line.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: I think he brings toughness. I think he brings some experience.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: I think that you can lock down, you know, between
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: him and fo j you can really find that right
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: side of the offensive line, and this offensive line will
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: get a lot of focus if it increases, especially with
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: the star power that you have up there. A lot
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: of people like what EPL does. A lot of people
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: like you know, Michael Vasousi as a guy who is
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: a five star. If he makes his jump, you know
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: people are gonna start, you know, having the whispers of
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: him being you know, a first round draft pick and
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: another OU offensive liner. So yeah, I mean I would.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: I would say Marion Harris the right the six seven,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: three seventy tackle, that's a big boy.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: As a big boy, that's an interesting pick up. I'm
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: be honest. I don't know if Marion takes to starting
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: spot away from Fogie yet. I don't know. Well, I
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: have to see when I say that, and I'll due
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: respect to Marian Harris, but Foge and FASUSI they've done
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: enough to me to where they're gonna it's gonna be
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: hard to take the spot to me. I think the
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: sleeper pick and I'm right there with you, true, Okay,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Rocky Beers. We put a lot
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: of good talent in Treil Harris is Treil Harris is
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: gonna do some things. He's gonna I think he'll be
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: another Isaiah Satana, but more possession wise and offense. The
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: question to me is how much do we actually throw
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: this year? And not that we can't throw, just how
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: much do we do throw? Like if our goal is
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: gonna be to run it down people's throats, take advantage
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: of that burn clock, you may end up having to
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: spread around a lot of catches, similar to what Texas
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: A and M did. They had You had conception own
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: as well as Craver, both at nine hundred yards receiving
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: really sixty something catches, but no one was able to
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: go higher because he was able to spread it around
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: a lot. I see that here too, But I see
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Trail really doing some big stuff. But I think Rocky
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Bears is gonna end up being a Geryon Cannick with
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: a lot more tight end this to.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: Him tight end skill sets, tight end, I like it.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Tight end.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: This tight end skill set to me is that like
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I think that his skills, he's gonna go in and
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: people are gonna underestimate him, like you're gonna see Hayden
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Hansen as your starting tight end. He's gonna be the
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: one to block, and he's gonna be the one hit
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: the flats. He's gonna be one right in the middle short.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I think Rocky's gonna go run right past the linebacker
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: and be wide opening across the middle, catching like Jerry
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Cannon did on a regular basis, but also break tackles
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: and keep going for touchdowns. I think you're gonna get
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: that out of Rocky Bears and he's older. It hurts
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: when you're older and you have that type of skill set.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: That's the offensive guy I'm looking at the most because
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: I already know you're probably gonna see a lot like
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: I like some of the pickups we got, like the
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Peyton Joseph was a great depth pickup. He's young, and
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: in time, he's gonna end up pushing his way to
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: a starting spot. No concerns about him whatsoever. I think
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: he does end up starting here in the next year
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: or two. Same thing with Caleb. I think he may
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: end up being your starting center next season. And then
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: you know, you go work with your young guys Ace Hodges,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: Owen Hollendback, who we're hoping to really turn out into something.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: You may see them come in twenty seven or even
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: twenty eight. But I do think that Rocky's gonna be.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: That dude.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be the one that's gonna show
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: up and be what Satannia was for us last year,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: not playing like Satanna but being a very impactful player,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: defense portal guy. I'm gonna go ahead and just say,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Cole Sullivan is your next quote unquote Danny Stutsman, hierarchy duke.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: They're about the same size. I know Danny looks ginormous
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: because he looks like a gentleman's human being. Cole is
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: also six three thirty five ish. He's a big dude.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: He's about what Danny is in the NFL right now,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: and Cole has to me a faster first step. That
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: to me, is gonna be the one player that keeps
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: the defense consistent and keeps it strong in the hands
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: of Cole Solon But you got, yeah, I.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: Mean that's a that's it. So if I if I
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: had to say, there's somebody that is extremely intriguing to
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: me because the the raw talents. It's Kenny Ozawalu.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: Oh man, God, yeah, I was gonna pick him, but
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gonna get it to Coop. Then
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: Coop's got some stuff to say about him.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: I think that he is so versatile in how you
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: can use him. I think that he can play inside.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: I think he can play inside in a g baby
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: type of you know, he's up umber two eighty already
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: and sitting there at six four. So I think he's
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: a guy who you can bring in on the inside
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: and kind of do that that that that's that speed rush.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: You know, he can factor in there. I also think
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: that in a lot of the sets where we run
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: to where we have the edge drop out, I think
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: that he can stunt to the outside and really put uh,
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: you know, a decision and put the the guard in
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: conflict because I think that the guard tackle combination, they're
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: going to try to pass him off or pay attention
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: to what he's doing. And I think that he can
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: win against the guard. I think he can win against
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: the tackle. So if I say on the offensive, you know,
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: bringing him in like that, that's that's one that I'm
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: really really intrigued to see from UTSA like he's we
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of guys from UTSA get the
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: transfer portal, go places and actually do some great things. Yep.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: From there, keny Ozawalla was a very good pick and
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: coming in at his side, I think he's like two
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: aventy something when he you know what he was listed
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: as in the portal, he's probably bigger than that. But
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: if he's there, him and Nigel Smith going to be
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: terrifying on the interior at the two ninety range is
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: where he's probably gonna be playing it. Yeah, that's terrifying
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: for a dude as athletic as he was watching him
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: on tape, I mean terrifying.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: He's a guy that a lot of people were recruiting
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: at edge and that's a giant damn edge. And so
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: that's where I think that, like I said, you got
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: you got a lot of people, and you got a
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: lot of toys to play with on this defensive line.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: And right now I would say that you know, going
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: into this past year, you knew that you had Dom,
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: you knew that you had g Baby, you knew that
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: you had Jaden, and then you were hoping that David
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Stone took a jump. Well, David Stone took a jump.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: David soon is going to be the best defensive tackle
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: on this team, and Jaden Jackson is going to continue
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: to do what he does. And I think that when
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: you have the options with the Nigel Smith, with the
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: Trent Wilson, with a Kenny Ozawalu, Like, you've got a
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: lot of those guys who if you see a jump
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: in again the coaching, you know, he's gonna be working
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: with Javison Bates and Brent Venables, you know, really just
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: getting them coached up a little bit better. Yep. I
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: mean you if Nigel Smith turns into a really good
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: player and Kenny turns into a really good player, and
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: Trent Wilson continues his progression, like, yeah, you're back to
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: rotating five or six dudes there in the middle.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Oh man, that's the interior rotations got me excited. I'm
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: ready to see Nigel breakout. I'm ready to see Kenny
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: mixed into their trip Wilson Ready is he that dude?
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Is Jacob Henry ready to make his way up the
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: chart and show us why he's the son of the
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: world's strongest man. I am very intrigued to see how
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: that moves up the edges. Man, we're young, but we
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: got a lot of dudes that could do something at
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: the edge spot, Like you're the front seven to me
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: is not I'm not as I'm not concerned about the
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: front seven as I thought I would be when I
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: came into the season, when I really started digging into
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: the roster, I'm like, Oh, I mean PJ and Danny
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: on one side, going, you got Taylor, Taylor Wine as
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: well as why Gilmore. Don't sleep on why Gilmore? He
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: could be your next Taylor Haunt set up, because I
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: remember when when he came in and some clean up
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: duty and he got his first sack early this year,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, that's exactly what Wine did
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: last year. And we were like, Oh, this dude could
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: give us something not gonna be not gonna be bothered
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: or afraid about that. So very excited on that end.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Let's look at some of these questions we've got and
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: then we'll wrap him get of here. Rymu Lemon asked
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: a quick question of strength coach, how do you feel
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: about the new strength coach? But he also had his
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: question shout out Lemon, how we have we heard if
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: there's any change at the head of the med staff.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: So uh, First, I like the James Dobson pick up.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Talked about it earlier in the in the Stream. But
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: the one thing I appreciate is that he worked at
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: Nebraska and he had in Donna can Sue. He also
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: has worked in the SEC. He was at Vanderbilt with
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: Derek Mason for a few years. They weren't all that great,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: but they were still a physical team and people talked
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: about how there was a pain in the butt to
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: deal with. He uses modern medicine. He's very progressive in
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: how he does things. Still has an old school flare
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: we should be tougher and we should hopefully be more healthy.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: I'm here for it. Cool.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like I said, you now let someone
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: who is going to you know, he's been in here
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: for a little bit, he's seen and heards, you know,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: the positives. Now you get you know, he's going to
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: do a lot of the stuff that Jerry Schmidt did
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: because he was he's been with him. You also get
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: your chance to be the man to do some new
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: and young things, some new new options there. So yeah,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: that's uh. I mean again, it's it's will we know.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, if we go out and we see,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: you know, a drop off in the toughness, like maybe
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: that would be a red flag. But I mean we'll
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: see here pretty soon. You want to see those gains happen.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: I personally think that, and I've had this conversation with
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: uh with a couple of people, but you know, you
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: got you got to make sure that the gains are
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: measured and happen in a way that your body, the
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: body can tolerate it. Not every single person's that, you know,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: the same if you have guys throwing on twenty five
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: pounds in an offseason, yeah they've gained more muscle, but
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: it takes a little bit of time for the ligaments
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: for the joints to catch up too. And so I'm
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: wondering if that's led to some of the injuries. And
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: so I'm really interested to see how how that kind
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: of plays out and a new sports science methodology on it.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: As far as like the head of the medstaff, I
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: know they made some changes last year, and you know,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: I've heard some people. You know, we talked to coach Dent,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Isaiah try Dent's dad, not super you know, you know
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: against the med staff, even though that he was a
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: guy that's that you know, his son had been injured
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: a lot. But they have started making changes and you know,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: we'll see if there's a little bit more because I
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: don't think that you saw like the slew of injuries
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: like you did two years ago, happened this past year
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: exactly same same cats, stayed injured, stayed injured.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that that is the thing I did notice
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: as well, is it seemed to be recurring as well.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Do you think Roger Denny will bring back the spring game? No,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: because it's not in Roger Denny's wielhouse. That's Ober Inventables.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say they'll have another spring screamage like
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: last year the combine quote unquote. I had fun. I
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: got to watch the drills and stuff and got some
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: good b roll footage, and I'm hoping to do that
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: once again. So yeah, I thought it was cool. I
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: don't think but I don't think they bring it back.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say that I.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: Think they do. I think they do it in the manner,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: not that it's going to be like it was two
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: years ago and beyond. I think it's gonna be a
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: situation to where they still call it like the combine
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: type of a deal. But when it all boils down
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: to it, I mean you really get the people that
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: were there to see, you know, the team, Like, do
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: you get to see good on good go at it
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: for a half. Now we're not going to see that.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to, especially with the previous
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: you know, a topic on the depth. But let's see
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: what happens with you know, some of the younger guys.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: Let's you know, I want to see what happens when
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: you get those out there, so maybe you see more situational.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: But I mean last year wasn't too much different than
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: the previous years. They just didn't call it spring game.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: Yep. Who's the defensive end from Wagner That alex Xander
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: shield Knight. Nice and I've heard good things about him.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Alexil Knight. Why get War's from Minnesota. He's the Minnesota kid,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: be honest, surprising in Portal and go cleat closer to home.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: But he probably didn't want to deal with the snow
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: that's up there. You know he's got snow here too.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Just you know that's funny. But no, I've heard good
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: things about Why Give More and Alyx Chield Knight, so
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: keep your eyes open on both. Another good question here
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: from Chewe ok is there any word on Owen's situation. It's, Oh,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: you need to get a judge in Oklahoma to rule it.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: He ain't coming back that dude Gown. It sounds like
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: that situation for him. What hurts him is is that
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: context wise, he doesn't have the same argument as everybody
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: else that keeps getting this stuff, getting these additional years
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: of eligibility. He hasn't had a season ending injury that
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: ended his season multiple times very early before the season
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: got going. That's how TJ. Finley has gotten like nine years.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: It's because he's had multiple season ending injuries that has
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: held him from being able to finish the year. Owen
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: has it. Owen had his year and lacrosse they don't
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: have a red shirt rule, and then he's played, you know,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: he's played four years of collegiate sports fully and unfortunately
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: that counts. So I don't think he's gonna get that.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: All the other players, like I said that we're seeing it,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: are getting these they're getting it because they've got other
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: they they have legitimate medical red shirt arguments, and that's
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: what they're giving him his medical red shirts, which sucks.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: But the same time, you know, games a game plus.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: I think that at this point, Owen, you know, from
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: what I'm understanding, Owen got a pretty favorable draft grade,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: and so I bet he's gone regardless. But you know,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: right now, you're you're waiting, and you know he's gotta
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: he's got to you know, he's had to mentally be committed,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: you know, to you know, prepping himself for the nfl
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: R for hell, the past month, and so you know
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: it'd be hard for him to come back.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and Trinidad, Chambler says, is different because it's
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: they're using the JUCO rules similar to what Diego Pavia
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: did even though he played D two. They're they're they're
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: playing that one. I don't know if Chamberliss ends up,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: he may get like an injunction. For now, I don't
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: think he plays next season. I'm just gonna be honest.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be able to say, now you
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: play D two ball JUCO. There's arguments that can be
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: made there because it's only two years of ball. Anyway,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: you have to transfer out to play, uh, additionally, and
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: so I got how they gave Pabia's extra year because
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: of the Juco piece. I don't think that Chamblis is
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: gonna actually finish out like that. How will we grade
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Naggie's first full cycle cooped? I love this question because
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about this the other day. How would
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: I actually rate how Naggy did this time around in
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: the portal. I'm gonna give him a I'm gonna give
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: him a I'm gonna give him a B plus, and
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: I give him a B plus specifically because he hit
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: the main spots we needed, which was really all on
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: offense ye receivers. He has some additional wide receivers. After
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: most of your wide receivers bounced out, you grab tight
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: ends because we needed more tight ends, and you got
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: yourself a running back that's a really good returner, so
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Satania didn't have to focus on return game. He could
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: focus on being just the wide receiver that you need
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: every game. I didn't slide it into an A because
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: I B plus Cole Sullivan was huge. I wanted one
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: more defensive player, possibly a safety, but we didn't get that,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: or actually one more linebacker. We haven't got that yet,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: so I gave it to a B plus. I think
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: he's right there at the cuss of an A. If
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: we add one more linebacker, then I can give a
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: what about you? Cool?
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm going with a bat like. Listen,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are going to look at did
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: we go get one of the marquee guys like a
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: cam Coleman. No, we did not, And I will be
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: honest with you. I think I think that when you
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: spend that egregious amount of money, like if if all
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: oh you needed was a wide receiver, I think that
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: that's a play that you have. I think we needed
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: to get so much more talent in that room, and
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: we had so many more needs in several different areas,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: getting some experience and some depth, you know, behind the
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: for the offensive line. But you know, you go get
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: Cole Sullivan. I think that that is an absolutely just
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: phenomenal pickup. I like Trel Harris, I like the youth
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: with partner her living zone. But I think that the
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: only thing I could say is like if if we
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: would have somehow just made a steer at defensive tackle,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: which I still you know, as you just heard me
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: talk about Kenny Oswalow earlier, like, I think that he
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: ends up maybe being that. I mean, I think that
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: we just didn't see that. But I think for the
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: money that we went out and spent, like we we
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: we got a good good amount of stuff, And so
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: I'll give him a bat now giving you know, transfer
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: portal and freshman classes like grades, it's based off of
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: what people are telling us about them. If you know,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: and Oswala comes in here and ends up as like
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: an all conference type of a player, if Cole Sullivan
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: ends up as you know, an all conference you know
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: type of a player. You know, those that that that
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: potentially like that grade goes up to an A to
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: an A minus. So you know, we'll see what happens.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: Same. I'm I'm waiting to see what the actual production
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: looks like. But I'm comfortable with given to be plus
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: because I really do like the wide receiver pickups. I'm
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: very very very very excited about Trail Parker right, Like,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: I like how we built we're building up in that
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: additional room and then but it also leaves space for
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: the young receivers that we've been excited about getting to
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: actually play as well too. That to me is very critical.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: So I like, I'm in alliance with you. All B
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: plus is where I'm at. But uh yeah, Boomer sooner
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Setana's numbers is actually better. Cam Coleman's Cam is just
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: a freak. He's a freak. And I don't know why
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: owen t you say aiming for big names. Big names
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: don't mean shit. It's production and we got production. You
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: got players that can go in and and it can start.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: You brought in a new linebacker that's gonna start and
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: who's really good. Uh, who was a part of a
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: top fifteen defense. You took their starting linebacker from Michigan.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: They weren't happy about that. I promise you that Trail
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: was one of the best wide receivers in the ACC.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: You got a big, big play player in that Satania's back.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: I always remember, retention is just as expensive as acquisition. Actually,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: retention can be a little bit more expensive nowadays, because
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: as these players get to you start bringing in new kids.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: Your current players know what they're being paid, and they're
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: just like, because it's always out there, the people put
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: that in. People put the portal information out the way
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: more than the freshman information. And so your current roster's like, hey,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: make sure I'm taking care of too, and this staff
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: does that. So I don't care about big names. I
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: don't want big names. I want players that produce. I
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: want you to show me what you done production. Give
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: me some dudes that you I also have ridiculous upside
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: to go with it. That's what's most important to me.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: Trail Parker, fantastic pickups to go along with Satanga who
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: had nine hundred yards and eight touchdowns seven touchdowns this
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: past season. You you just put yourself in a situation
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: as big Rocky Beers seven touchdowns as a tight end
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: Hayatee Hansen who's built to block right coop. You know
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You look at the players we brought in.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: We brought in the ones that we need because we've
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: got good players on our roster. Now we went ten
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: to two four reasons.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you didn't need you didn't need massive names
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: on the offensive line, you didn't need you didn't need,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: I mean hardly anything except for a starting linebacker on defense.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: That's that's hard. I mean, we weren't going to the
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: If David Stone would have hit the transfer portal, it
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: h'd have been one of the top two or three
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: names in the portal and definitely offensive lineman, definitely the
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: time defensive lineman. Uh, Jayden Jackson, same thing. If Kip
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: lewis same thing. We essentially we got him back. And
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: so there's that portion there too, because yeah, I mean
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: I would say retention wise, I would give us an
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: a on retention.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, if you, if you, if you add in
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: the players that we were able to retain. PJ hit
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: the portal for like thirty five seconds and game back out.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: Keep that in mind. We retained a lot of the
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: players that we really needed to retain. Like I would
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: have loved to had Samuel Maseigu stay. But you know
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: the problem with the situation with the Sami he had
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: one year left. He wasn't going to start. You're not
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: starting him over Kip who came back. If Kip didn't
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: come back, Sammy stakes.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, because he's probably potentially so. But like
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: I said, I think with Kip coming back when it
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: comes time to twenty twenty six season, Kip coming back
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: with humongous it was massive. Same thing with Jometier, Like
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: you didn't have to go start that back over again.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: Let's also be honest, there were criticize the critic criticisms
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: about Jometier prior to breaking his thumb, but he also
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: was the favorite for the Heisman Trophy until he broke
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: his throat. And so you go do that, this team
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: got stronger. I don't you know, I think that if
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: you go out and get a cam Coleman, you probably
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: don't get Cole Sullivan. You probably don't get any other
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: wide receivers worth of damn. You probably don't get some
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: of the younger pieces guys.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: You know guys that we got like Jack Van Doorslayer,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: you know, the tight end. He's young. You needed to
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: get him in here. Cole Sullivan, if I'm not wrong,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: he's going to be a sophomore. You know, you got
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of those guys. And so
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: we've got younger folks that you know can come in
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: and you know, hopefully earned them a spot for you know,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: two years from now. So it's uh, I think that
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: you look at a Texas, Texas really feels like they
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: crushed it because they got a cam Coleman, because they
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: got a Hollywood smothers. I mean, who are they? I
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: mean their offensive line is a is a massive, massive
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: question mark. I mean they did not addrect that at all.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: I mean at all. So if you can't block, House
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: came going to catch the ball, arch Manning was bouncing
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: balls into all the his guys and all his receivers.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: This past year, they didn't do that. They didn't really
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: get get great on you know, on the defensive side either,
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: and they lost some They're gonna lose some players. So
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: I would rather have a solid straight through and listen, guys,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: I like Hollywood's mothers. I said it in our chat
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: long before he ever went even committed to Alabama. I'm
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: not one hundred percent sold on him. He had a
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: couple of good games and then against you know, other
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: teams like Miami, he was a no show. And so
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: let's press pause on Hollywood smothers. I don't think Texas
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: actually upgraded like they feel that they did. Let's press
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: pause on that, because I think he's going to do
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: well against some weaker competition. But we'll see in week
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: two when he goes against Ohio State. What will those
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: numbers look like then, Because if he's the same as
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: Trey Wisner, you just paid a lot more for the
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: same dude.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to figure out why to even let
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: Trey Wisner go. But you know, I'll gladly clown Texas
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: for what they've done in some other time. Uh, blue
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: Collar has a good question. Do we see some improvement
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: from tight end room and year one of Witten? I mean,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: you got Rocky Bears, Hayden Hanson, you got Jake Van Dorsselaire.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that room's gonna be a lot
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: better in comparison. He still got John Locke out there.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: He's still got Kate McIntyre. You got Trenee Washington, who
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: I think that's what I want to see what he
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: does with Trenee Washington. Yes, Troop be told. That's gonna
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: tell me a lot about Witten. Trenee has all of
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: the physical tools play. I want to see what he
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: does with him. Heck, CJ. Nixon can't play tight end
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: or edge. They may try to yank Kimbuck over there
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: former Hooper. I'm curious to see what that looks like
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: as well. So I'm truly intrigued with what he does
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: with the young players more so than the transfers that
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: came in. So year one you're gonna see improvement because
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: Hayten Hansen as well as Rocky Bears are definitely an
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: improvement as tight ends. So we'll see where that goes.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: And I mean, you've got forgive me, we got Rutster
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: and mix. I think both of those guys are going
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: to be good. One of them is. One of them
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: is just recovering from a late injury. Uh, So I
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: think that there's going to be you know, some unavailability there.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: But I mean, I will say this is Jason Witten's
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: already having conversations with people that we weren't having conversations
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: with the past several years with Joe John Finley. So
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: I think from just the recruiting his name, there's a
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: lot of parents who are going to know who the
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: hell Jason Witten is and they're going to be pretty
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: excited for that. Yep, it's a low bar. It's a
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: low bar for the improvement. I mean a very very
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: low bar because the last I mean, you would say,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: maybe the last year that we had a tied end
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: that did really really well was probably cal Kata, Yeah, Stogner.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: Stogner prior to was it was it was either well
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: he was more of an h back Willis was true.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: But I mean, like but with Calcultarra. Stogner was. You know,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: we went from Andrews to Calcultara. Calcultarra started the concussion
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: stuff and that kind of what reiled him, and then
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: he retired and then you know, went to SMU and
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: it's nice still in the league. But I would also
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: say that like Stogner, prior to getting that hit, it
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: was against Kansas or Baylor, and he got the staff
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: infection and it was kind of it kind of stunted
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: his growth and we just didn't see anything. We saw
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of bad luck with injuries and immaturity. So
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: I think that the bar is really really low for
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: Jason Whitten and all you have to do is make
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: it that it's not an absolute you know, Uh, the
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: tight end room is just not a deficit to your
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: damn team like it has been for several years.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see the thing that that that also hurts him.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: And this can had a really good year life year
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: he did. He was a top three tight end in
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: the SEC. Like, just keep that going. And then to me,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: my judgment on him will is one hundred percent on
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: how do we do with the is how does the
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: young players come along next year? Can we get them
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: in the game and get them producing. The blocking should
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: be better because you got two guys that know how
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: to block three guys actually, so we'll see where that goes.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: Like this, when Owen asked another good question, Owen asks
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: who replaces Owen? Owen asked, who replaces Owen in the
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: linebacker room? Easy? Solely Sully cos Sulivan's your starting linebacker.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: But I think Nessa is the one that comes up
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: as the next big one at linebacker. I want Marcus
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: James to hurry up. I'm just gonna be honest. And
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: that's nothing on him, Like, that's not even even in shade.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: I I was excited about Marcus James as a crew
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: six three two twenty. He comes in about a little
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: bit bigger, taller. I want to see Marcus James ball out.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: He balls out, be afraid, be very afraid.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's he's got one year under his
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: belt now, and like you said, it's it's that's a
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: hard room to I mean, if he has snaps, I
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: would say it'd be less than twenty.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: But I think he read. I think he actually got
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: a chance to retch. He I don't even think they
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: put him on special really either. This year. Yeah, he
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: only played one game, Yes.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: One game, so yes, and that was the Kent stated
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: Kent State.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: He's listed cool. He's listed at six four two thirty
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: five mm hm wow.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: And he's going to a sophomore year, so he's he's
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: he is a stud. It's the mental port. It's the
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: mental part and it's always going to be when you
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: play this game is if you want to be on
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: the field as a linebacker. The reason why Owen Heineke
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: was there is because he knew where he was supposed
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: Where guys like Goby McKenzie and Samuel Masigo really struggled
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: was the fact that when you get out of position
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: and something pops that, I mean, Brent's not gonna like that.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: That's the first place we all see. We all see
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: how it's not an issue with our defense. Why we're
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: you know, in a tight game. It's the issue with
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: the offense. Brent Vinnible is gonna coach like, we're gonna
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: win the game on on defense every single week. And
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: so you've got to you gotta be in the right spot,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: so be trustworthy.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. At his size, dal he's I mean nessa six ish,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: he's six four five. That two ginormous linebackers. That's gonna
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: be fun to see running around taking dudes heads off.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: Stevie asked a very good question, Jay, how much does
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: inline blocking tight end help with the run game? It
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: changes at all. It creates new holes, it creates new opportunities,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: It creates new things that go down. So yeah, that
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: to me is probably one reason why I expect to
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: run getting to be a lot better. Cannck had his moments.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: He would get into a hole, he in the way
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: the way you needed a tight end that it's not
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: a great blocker yet to do. He'd get in the way,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: and then you'd see material run. You'd saw a Blaylock run,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: you saw ext rob run, and they get yards and go.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: That will change when you have dudes that are really
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: good at blocking to where those holes open up even
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: more a field, they open more, they're gonna be gone.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that changes everything for us.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: When you got a good inline blocking tight end, it's
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: not going to be the difference between it is when
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: you got an inline talk tight end, that's that's doing well.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: He takes out somebody where somebody else is going to
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: be vacating and so what that happens is it allows
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: your offensive lineman to get out to the second level,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: and that leads to more explosive plays downfield. And as
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: much as we want to say about like maybe the
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: Joonte Barnes, we haven't had great tight end blocking, you know,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: in his tenure here, and so what happens. He's always like,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: you know, one on one with a linebacker after he's
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: made a cut. And that's how most of these backs
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: Tory Blaylock. I mean, how many times did he have
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: one more guy to get past and he was gone?
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: You know, x Rob We saw him sneak out on
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: a few. If you get good tight ends blocking on
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: the in line instead of a defensive end or a linebacker,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: you know, tackling guy in the middle of the hole
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: from behind, he clears him out. Your offensive line can
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: make it to the next level. And it turns a
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: four yard carry into a twenty four yard carry exactly.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: And that's what you're hoping for. You want to turn
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: those smaller carries into bigger ones just by having additional
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: blocking and a little bit a little bit more of
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: a crease. And I think CJ. Nixon could be a
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: special tighty end things is gonna be specially the edge too.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: I really intrigued to see how he's developed. I actually
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: think he may end up being one that moves up there,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: because remember, you know what's funny when I went through
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: and looked at this, and I'm actually getting I put
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: this way, I was a little nervous about twenty seven
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball coop because I
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: was like, man, you're gonna lose all these these good players,
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: all these dudes that so much, so much veteran talent
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: on the defensive side that we got up there. You're
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: gonna lose a lot of it potentially at the end
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: of this year. I wonder what it's gonna look like
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: after that. But then when I started looking, I'm like,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: Dang Stone and Jane Jackson only sophomore and they should
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: be their junior year. If they come back, you got
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: them as seniors. Reggie Powers to be a junior. He'll
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: be back as a senior. Eli Bowen, same thing. Only
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: one you're really losing on your defensive line in your
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: defense next season, Peyton Bowen. He's the only one guaranteed
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: to be gone. And Kip Lewis Bowen kip lois only
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: to a guaranteed to be gone. That's huge. That moves
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: Nigel Smith in as your red shirt junior. Why Gilmore
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: red shirt junior, Koya red shirt junior. PJ actually would
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: be gone too because he's a junior. He'll be going
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: in as a senior this year, so you lose him,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: but you got Danny coming back potentially. You have CJ.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: Nixon coming in as a red shirt sophomore in twenty seven. Like,
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: You've got a lot of people backloaded that. I'm just like, oh,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: this is a lot better than I thought it was
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: gonna be. Nesta, Marcus James both coming in. Nesta is
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: going to be a red shirt sophomore next season, Marcus
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: Jans to be a red shirt freshman next season. We're
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: actually loaded up better now. I just need to see
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: them produce, but I think they can. That to me,
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: they got me a lot more excited than I thought.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, now I just got to see him
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: on the field. We've seen all these other players. You've
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: seen Bowanowski, You've seen you know, a lot of the
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: players that are playing. Now you just got to see
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: the young players going there and actually play and take
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: the spot. It's gonna be a lot better than we think.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: That actually encourages me as I look through this roster.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: Well, you've got you got a lot of tools that
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: you can work with and if you get to good
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: blocking and Jimmy ja John Finley actually was six six
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: sixty seven to when he played, so he's he's a giant.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: But I mean, you just got a lot of you
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: got a lot of tools. And this is a year
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: to where I mean, let's not get it twisted. If
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: you are a Sooner fan, the goal for this team
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: every year is going to be go win conference championships,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: go try to win a national championship. Like this year
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: it really does need. I mean, it is going to
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: be a national championship push. That's that's everybody. That's what
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: everybody is lined up for.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a push for that. And to answer
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: that question, there, is he the tallest? Yeah, yeah he
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: would because he's six's eight, so he's legitimately the talst. Yeah,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: And I agree with you, Boomer, I think that they
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: probably trust the wide receiver room more now and they're
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: probably ready to rotate a ton more. That's the good thing.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: Like I said, the young players are probably gonna get
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: a lot more rep than y'all anticipate, like a lot
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: more REP, so I gotta do his push. I do
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: think MARKL four can be a cheetah. He's got the
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: hype for it and the size for it. He hits
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: like a young Reggie. I think I think a Marion
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: Robinson man Man is gonna end up being another cheatah
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: roll type guy too, Like he's gonna be another RP three.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: To me, there's there's a reason why they let Hardy go,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: and it's because of how they feel about a Marion Robbinson.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they really like Mario Robinson, like they wanted to
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: keep Hardy. They gave him an open invitation to come back.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: But Hardy wants to start. And if Peyton Bowen had
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: been going, if Peyton had left, Hardy's your other starter
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: with Boganowski. But he didn't he come back for senior year.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: That takes that away. So that being I'm okay, I'm okay.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with man Man Man playing more now and
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: losing Hardy. Even though I really liked having jayde Hardy
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: out there with the three.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: He's a great he's a great teammate, very very close
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: to both Boganowski and if you talk to Big Mike Boganowski,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: if you talk to Reggie, Reggie his dad, I mean
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: he he was the hard and soul that that room.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: And so you know, that's that's it's it's it's a
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: hard and it's a tough loss. But understood, understood, Yeah,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: because he's going to he would rotate in again just
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: like he did this past year and we saw a
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: lot of good plays from him. They just think that
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: where Omarian could be this next year would be uh,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: you know, pretty unusial to where Harty is. And if
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: you get the younger guy, that's that's that's a leg
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: up because I think Hardy's been hearing this. This would
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: been your four for him or is it your three
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: friend this year?
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: Harty? This this he's been here two years, he's been
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: here him, Reggie and and Bo have been only been
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: here two years together. Next season will be your three.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: They're all be they're all they're all true juniors together
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: because none of them rich shirt. They all play them
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: a lot, especially in the special team side, which is
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: usually what burns a lot of their red shirts. But
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: question for this team is not gonna be defense, it's
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent what does the offense turn into going forward?
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: So and I'm actually encouraged at the way we made moves.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: Thank you all for pulling up hit the light. But
