Wait Brent Venables Is NOT Top 30 As A Coach?! (S2 E15) · Sooner or Later Sports

0:05
Yep, ran into hell everything just decided to stop working on you. But
0:08
guess what, I'm back here on the Sooner or Later Sports show. I'm
0:12
redo my entire intro. I'm your host, Jay Niggah for pulling up here
0:16
on the YouTube channel and listening wherever podcasts or download and listen to while you're
0:20
here. Please wipe your feet like subscribe, rate review, give us five
0:24
stars. Don't think you deserve it, just give us five anyway and gifted.
0:28
So on today's episode, I told y'all, we have a lot of
0:32
stuff to talk about, and so we're gonna jump right into this like a
0:37
whole bunch of defensive lists that seem to be kind of disrespectful. We're also
0:41
running into Brent Vnables is not a top five, top thirty coach in college
0:46
football, which is odd, and we'll wrap things up with that. But
0:50
we're also gonna talk about post spring, where are the Sooners, and what
0:53
you guys should be thinking about, understanding and knowing when it comes to our
0:57
squad. So all right, this looks a lot better. I think I'm
1:00
good now. I want to apologize. You know. It is Sunday,
1:04
the May nineteenth, and it feels like things just don't want to act right
1:11
for you, boy, And so my bad for not working properly up front.
1:15
But hey, guess what, we're here back. We're gonna make this
1:19
magic happen. So we're gonna chop it up. Cooper's out take care of
1:23
fam doing something. So I'm gonna run solo today because it's list season,
1:29
guys. So everybody's putting together a list. Every list has put out.
1:33
It's gonna piss everybody off. Either you're too high or you're not. Either
1:37
you're not high enough or you're not high enough. It's always what it is.
1:40
So if you're not number one and a lot of situations, most people
1:42
will have objections. Now, the great thing is is you guys are tune
1:47
in here on my channel. We have a lot of rationalt here. We're
1:49
very rational human beings, right, We actually understand and know that you're not
1:53
always gonna be the top guy. It's just you know, the world is
1:57
not always built that way, and we're cool with that. And so I
2:00
appreciate you all for that because y'all know exactly where I'm gonna go when it
2:05
comes to a lot of these conversations. So let's jump right into what the
2:12
heck is going on here. So first off, on three did their list
2:19
right, and the defensive list they put together had a lot of Sooner fans
2:24
a little upset. So we're gonna walk through a couple of these lists,
2:30
and we're gonna do this all live. Baby. This is gonna be similar
2:34
to the way I put together a show or a video for the channel,
2:38
So you guys get to see a little bit of me fumbling around and figuring
2:40
things out. But this is what's most important. On three's list, they
2:45
started off with they did some offensive spots, offensive line, defensive line,
2:51
linebacker units, cornerbacks, and then safety. So they put out all of
2:54
these lists of top tens and this by Jesse. I'm not sure jesse last
3:00
name, because honestly, I don't care. And it's fascinating what he thinks
3:07
about the units in the country, because honestly, he only gave Oklahoma love
3:13
really in one. Now I think why receiver. Maybe one that we'll start
3:20
to see some changes or some love on, but it ain't It don't matter.
3:25
And you know, for those wondering, no, I'm not doing lists.
3:29
I haven't gotten myself to the point where I feel like lists are good
3:32
for me. Yet, got a lot more digging to do to get to
3:35
that point. But this is what Jesse said. Let's look at the one
3:38
that he got wrong in all of our opinions. Right, So the first
3:42
thing you look at here, you've got your top ten cornerback units and your
3:46
safety units. Now, granted we all look at this list, we're just
3:51
like, you know, Jay, look at this kind of crazy, right.
3:53
Ohio State's one of the top cornerback units. You got Oregon, Iowa,
3:58
Michigan, Florida, stay Notre Dame, n C State, Georgia,
4:00
Kentucky, didn't tax A and M next on that list. You have for
4:05
the safety's Iowa, Ohio State all the way down the list, right,
4:10
And so this is what made this fascinating. Jesse got a lot of pushback
4:15
on this, and when I say a lot, he got a lot of
4:17
pushback to the point that he decided that he needed to respond. And when
4:28
he responded, I'm just like, I feel like all you're doing is putting
4:33
more fuel on the fire. Right. Like, the response wasn't a you
4:41
know, hey, guys, you know, you know it's okay type of
4:46
deals. Let me kind of explain to y'all what I mean when I say
4:48
that, right, because I was, like you all, high key perturbed
4:54
when I saw these. Oklahoma probably has one of the best least safety rooms,
4:59
if not corner back rooms in the country, grants it. I believe
5:02
a lot of his thought process behind why he wasn't gonna pick Oklahoma was all
5:15
the yards and stuff that Oklahoma gave up last season, right, and so
5:18
whenever everybody pushed back on him, at least at safety room with Billy Bowman
5:24
leading the country in interceptions, this is what Jesse decided to respond with.
5:30
And let's look at this together as a family, right. He says that,
5:35
you know, days later, Oklahoma affairs are still mad about me leaving
5:43
them off the top ten and listing the Sooner safety unit in the best of
5:46
the rest category. I love Billy Bowman, but he granted out as one
5:50
hundred and fifty fifth safety minimum fifty snap percent of the snaps per pff.
5:56
The six picks are nice, but he also and when you read more,
6:00
miss twenty tackles to twenty two. I think that was the number right to
6:03
the twenty and twenty two. Twenty two miss tackles. That's what he put
6:06
on there, and of course souonor fans did not like that explanation, right,
6:13
everybody decided to rail in on him. And I get it, I
6:16
get why sooner fans are mad. I don't fully understand what he's talking about
6:26
here as far as the unit, because if you think about it, this
6:29
is a good thing that Oklahoma has going for itself, right, It's what
6:30
we got going for ourselves. Bring back Ethan Downs the edge rooms probably one
6:35
a more experienced side. But then you got deve Jon Terry just grabbed Dominic
6:40
Williams at the defensive line, and you got the young guys right behind right
6:44
safety wise, your linebacker wise, you bring it back Danny Stutsman cornerback room.
6:47
You brought back Woody Washington five years in, and then you got Billy
6:50
Bowman, who's giving you another four years in. There's a lot of veteran
6:55
neess there in that list. And then of course we talk safety's five star
7:00
safety Peyton Bowen, who as he's putting it together, he's gonna be really
7:03
good. Robert Spiars Jennings like, there's a lot of really good safeties in
7:11
the setup of what Oklahoma has and so, and then you got the young
7:15
guys, which I don't like including the freshmen in lists, and it's no
7:20
shade or disrespect to them. I need to see them at the collegiate level
7:24
on the field, right, and you see them in game situations, how
7:27
they respond, how they play. Then at that point, I ain't even
7:30
got any issue, right, but it was funny to see that Jesse feels
7:39
like Oklahoma safety rooms just ain't something to you know, see home about.
7:45
And of course, me being who I am, one hundred percent disagree with
7:49
said notion because everything about this team, the secondary is probably gonna be the
7:59
best unit, the best overall setup for Oklahoma, right. Bring back the
8:01
veterans. Gentry Williams had a really good year. We's got to make sure
8:05
he's say he's he's healthy. If anything, you got Woody back, Keni
8:11
Walker had a really good year last year and he'll rotate well. Kendall Doby
8:15
is one that's gotta get consideration. The Juco transfer was really good last season
8:20
and he's put himself in a position to play very well even at like Cheetah
8:24
right there are It's just it's just wild to me that the disrespect may remains,
8:35
especially on the defensive side, on the Brent Vinable side of the ball.
8:37
I figured this will be the side where we would see more. You
8:41
know, Okay, I see what Oklahoma's doing, I see what they're trying
8:46
to get to and all of that. But we did see this in the
8:50
linebacker room because on the linebacker list, Oklahoma's number four. Now, y'all
8:58
tell me in the comments, how do you feel but Oklahoma being the number
9:01
four linebacker? Ye're in the country. Because the funny thing when I saw
9:05
this and me thinking about this one hundred percent, was Oklahoma bringing back Stutsman,
9:13
who should have been a Buckets Award at least finalists, and he was
9:18
disrespected. Should definitely make sure that they're up here on this list. I
9:24
like four, we probably should be closer to two or three, probably more
9:31
so two. Right, Iowa gets and I think this is what baffles me,
9:33
especially when you look at anything in the Big Ten West. Any team
9:41
in the Big Ten West, to me, should always have an asterisk because
9:46
that side of the Big Ten has been a full for years. Right,
9:52
Iowa's consistent on their defense. They always get throttled when they play Michigan or
9:56
Ohio State. Just what happened right to get blown out? I get it
10:03
from Michigan because Michigan has shown a very stout defense even against good teams.
10:09
They shown against Ohio State they won three in a row. They've shown up
10:13
and shown out. But the good thing is is that if there's one room
10:18
we're finally getting respect that it is in the linebacker room they're seeing because that
10:24
is the Brent Vnable's position on the Brent Vnable side of the ball. So
10:31
it just I don't know. I'm trying to understand what exactly Jesse is seeing
10:37
here secondary wise that tells him that Oklahoma isn't doesn't shouldn't be up there,
10:43
Like Bowman sure one hundred and fifty fifth, totally get that. He's like
10:48
using PFF religiously. Now I like PFF, but I don't go off of
10:54
PFF only because there's so many variables on the list, where like it depends
11:01
on the assignment. Right, the grading isn't one hundred percent accurate, but
11:05
it gives you some solid information to work through. This is one of those
11:09
scenarios. I don't understand Oklahoma not cracking the top ten on eich of these
11:16
lists just because of the veteran presence they're bringing back. That's honestly one of
11:22
the things that probably should get recognized. But what was us? What was
11:28
mean? That's the things that happened to us as sooner fans man. See
11:31
I hop into comments. Let me know, I know a lot of folks
11:35
are not very happy in the comments. Totally get it because of course I
11:41
was in a way losing my mind as well. So all right, I
11:46
dropped a video earlier today, and this is something I wanted to jump into
11:52
about what Oklahoma looks like going forward. Right, we are past springball,
12:01
everybody's, like I said, making their list, and the top twenty fives
12:05
have dropped from some of my favorite people. So I wanted to look at
12:11
those top twenty fives because I'm gonna be honest, I kind of like where
12:18
things are. And I say that for the reason of as long as Oklahoma
12:24
isn't listed top five or completely out of top twenty fives, I'm not mad.
12:30
I enjoy the more underdog look and the prove ourselves because in a way,
12:35
we do need to prove ourselves, right. We need to go out
12:39
there and beat more teams, then we typically need to beat We need to
12:43
do that, and so you're not gonna And that's if you know me,
12:46
if you've watched me, you know, that's what makes me, you know,
12:50
as some have mentioned in quote unquote purest when it comes to the game,
12:52
I try to be as objective as possible, even for my own team,
12:56
because I understand that as good as we are, it ain't gonna be
13:00
perfect. And so Clatt as well as RJ. Young dropped their top twenty
13:05
fives post sprink and so let's look at it. Oklahoma seventeen for Clatt RJ.
13:16
Young, they are fourteen. I like, as mentioned in the comments
13:24
from my boy Lemon, I liked that we were high enough to be listed
13:28
in the top when we get our wins, and then low enough from motivation
13:31
for the haters. And that's exactly what I thought about this. Now,
13:33
Clatt had a good explanation, right, But the funny thing is is class
13:37
explanation, and like put in the video, you can definitely watch it on
13:41
the channel afterwards, but real quick class explanation, similarly to what RJ.
13:46
Young gave was this, our schedules really hard. Everybody recognizes our schedule is
13:54
really hard because the teams on their list that they consider in the tip actually
14:00
above us. We play a lot of them. We play Tennessee, right
14:05
play LSU, we play Alabama, we play Texas, we play Old Mass
14:11
we play Missouri. So in our sec schedule, you've got what one,
14:15
two, three, four, five, six teams ahead of us ranked we
14:20
play against. So if we walk out there and we win those games,
14:28
it's a guarantee that we have to be given respect. Now, there are
14:33
no guarantees in life, so I could be just lying to every single one
14:37
of you right now. But to me, what that tells me is that
14:43
we should get the respect we deserve period. We should get it. We
14:54
should one hundred percent get respect going forward. And Oklahoma has shown us that
15:00
they have the team that can do this by going out and you know,
15:03
we beat Texas, right, we beat our rival And that's the one thing.
15:07
It's funny because Texas has given the lie out there, well, not
15:13
Texas themselves, but Texas's people. They're writers and you know, folks on
15:18
their recruiting sites have given a lie to everybody that the old U Texas rivalry
15:22
doesn't matter anymore. Now they're in the SEC they got bigger fish to fry.
15:28
Cool story bro, because none of us believe that right, None of
15:33
us are foolish enough to believe that OU Texas doesn't matter. It matters.
15:41
It will matter if Texas is the worst team in the country. To us,
15:46
it will matter they're the best because it's a rivalry. It's no different
15:50
than old miss Mississippi State. The egg Bow will always matter, the Iron
15:54
Bowl will always matter, Civil War will always matter between Oregon, Oregon State,
16:02
Michigan, Ohio State. The game will always matter. So lying and
16:06
saying that it don't matter no mode just because you know, got bigger fish
16:11
to fries kind of ridiculous. But I like that in these polls that everyone
16:15
has put the team that we you know, beef with the most so high,
16:23
and then putting them so high is a good thing for us because if
16:30
and when they fall, we're gonna be in. They behind everything one they
16:36
fans, We're gonna clown, We're gonna talk noise because that's what we're supposed
16:38
to do. So for me, I'm gucci on these I'm good on these
16:45
lists. I'm fine with it doesn't matter, and we're gonna have some fun
16:52
with that going forward. So, as I mentioned, coops out take care
16:59
of fam running things, Solo just kind of wanted to throw things out and
17:06
flesh the brain. We are in again this season, so things are quiet.
17:11
Please make sure you hit the like button if you need to the channel,
17:15
feel free to subscribe. Love for you to join this family sooner.
17:21
College football fans, y'all know what we do here. So but this one
17:25
is where I'm gonna have to get loan winded on y'all. We're gonna have
17:26
to dive into this because I was perturbed with this one. Now there's an
17:36
explanation that was given, and I'm gonna be honest. When I saw it,
17:47
I was like, Yeah, had some bslare This week, we're gonna
17:52
have some real fun because Conley drops Bill Conley over at ESPN, one of
17:56
my favorite guys out there, drops his SP plus rankings as well as returning
18:07
production, which will include transfers. So if you bring up guys from the
18:14
like FCS or D two or anything like that, he's gonna provide production on
18:18
them. I think he gives like half credit, which, if you want
18:21
to be honest, is kind of fair right in that situation but in this
18:26
one we're gonna talk about and I'm gonna pull this up real quick because I
18:30
want to talk about CBS and their pundits and their rankings for the coach right
18:38
now. This got a lot of y'all upset, and rightfully so, because
18:42
I was pretty perturbed as well. Let me pull up Brandon's there it goes
18:52
all right. He gave us both the top thirty coaches in college football,
19:00
and he also gave us an explanation of anybody from every single one and he
19:06
picked So for let's pull the list up just so y'all can go crazy.
19:11
All right, here you go. This is the list that was put out
19:15
by Brandon over there at CBS top thirty coaches in college football. So let's
19:26
look at this. I know y'all gonna be mad. I held y'all,
19:29
y'all gonna be mad at this one because this was a pretty ridiculous one.
19:33
So Brandon Marcelo says, of course, you've got Kirby Smart leading away with
19:37
Brian Day behind him. Okay, Dan Lanning, Interesting, Dabbo Sweeney,
19:44
Mike Norvel, Kyle Whittingham all the way down to Las light Bolt at Kansas
19:52
at number fifteen, rotating yourself all the way around to thirty with Mike elko
19:57
at A and M. As you all can see, there is no Brint
20:03
Vnables on this list. We don't see brin Vinables on this one. And
20:08
this is what he is. Explanation for brin Vinibles was he stated and died
20:17
quote. He put Brent Venables just outside of top thirty at thirty four.
20:25
Oklahoma coach took Keat after a six and seven season in his first year,
20:29
but the change in approaching coach for the program wasn't something that would take immediately.
20:34
We began to see the positive effects last year's Oklahoma as the Sooners improved
20:37
to ten and three and went seven and two in the Big Twelve. Now
20:41
we wait to see how the Sooners adapt to life in the SEC where the
20:45
schedule gets tougher but expectations won't lower. I don't know how to go in
20:49
year one, but I do think this program is better equipped along the line
20:53
of scrimmage to deal with it than they were before Venables arrived. Jumped up
21:00
from fifty second. Venables was number fifty two on his list last year.
21:04
He is now number thirty four and so I'm gonna give you guys back this
21:11
list of coaches for you to look at. It's funny to hear that Brent
21:17
Vennables isn't up to snuff for our guy, Brendan Marcelo, But when you
21:23
look at some of the other coaches on this list, this is what interests
21:26
me. He's got I'm gonna say this. Kellen de Boorr over here at
21:33
number nine, behind the guy that he beat twice at Oregon. Actually think
21:41
it'd be him three times. He should be up higher. Don't get it.
21:53
I get we're giving Dabo Sweeney the benefit of the doubt, but Dabo
21:57
looks like a completely different Since Privetables is gone, everyone's high on the Eli
22:04
drink, which beverage. There are Eli drink drink hardcore because he's up here.
22:11
They have one good season since he's been there for what three or four
22:15
years? I asked the question, why is he so high? Is it
22:22
sustainable? We don't know yet. So the good thing is for Oklahoma told
22:32
y'all, I like that we get ranked low. I like that the expectations.
22:36
I like that everybody is downing us. We need that. It's that
22:40
motivation for the haters that's us be able to prove ourselves long term. Again,
22:48
a lot of these dudes have bad records, and he's pointed it out.
22:55
It's my one of my favorite videos of him his speeches because he points
22:56
out everybody outside of Oklahoma wants us to fall, wants to see the demands
23:00
of the Sooners and thinking that Oklahoma's gonna fall apart. But the one thing
23:06
that he said it and he's shown us and the way that he performs and
23:08
does his thing, he don't want that to happen, right. His goal
23:15
is to make sure that we survive everything we're supposed to survive. What y'all
23:22
think about that, I know in the comments, y'all are going wild,
23:25
losing your minds. A lot of these people have losing records compared to Venables,
23:33
losing records compared to this team. You're all one hundred percent right.
23:40
We've seen Oklahoma show up, show out, prove the doubters wrong. And
23:45
again we have done everything we were supposed to do in order to fix the
23:51
culture, fix everything in the background, fix all that we've seen about Oakao.
23:56
We've done a good job of fixing stuff. All of our rooms have
24:00
gotten better, our players are playing better. But it cracks me up to
24:04
here and think and see everybody sliding us with high levels of disrespect telling us
24:15
that Oklahoma is not equipped for the SEC yet. It appears that even though
24:23
the pickups we've gotten, and we'll talk about that, we'll wrap up talk
24:27
about pickups in the transfer portal, pickups and you know, and things that
24:36
we're targeting. We'll talk about that stuff in a minute. But as mentioned,
24:41
we trust for inventables. He's doing what he's supposed to do to provide
24:45
the culture and the winning mentality to get us what we want, which is
24:51
constantly competing for Natty's. That's what we want. And as you see Billy
24:56
Bowman here getting them, returning his third interception for a touchdown, all the
25:03
disrespect we keep hearing, my expectations. These dudes are gonna go out there
25:08
improve a lot of people wrong, So hop in the comments let me know.
25:15
But she, like a lot of y'all, are pointing out some great
25:19
stuff, which I appreciate. Y'all are understanding of what's going on. Y'all
25:26
know that the disrespect is absurd. At the same time, Oklahoma's gonna get
25:30
there. We'll get to where we need to get and we'll take care of
25:33
it. All. Right, let's talk recruiting. We'll spend the next about
25:42
fifteen minutes on that be a shorter show today and dive into what we're hearing
25:49
floating around out there. Right, So as we open up the show talking,
25:56
we know going into next season, one of the things for us was
26:02
we wanted to sure up the trenches as much as possible. So we went
26:11
out and got one of the best, I'd say the best guy out of
26:15
the transfer portal on the offensive line, Branson Hickman. Bring him in at
26:19
the center position. In December's window, we picked up more guys. You
26:23
got your Spencer Brown. We'll see what he becomes. Michael Tarkin, We'll
26:27
see what he becomes. Fabiti Weewu who was a freshman All American. He's
26:32
gonna be a stud. Period. We went after what we needed. Then
26:41
you got on the defensive line and we went out there and got the biggest
26:44
fish that was in the portal and Dominic Williams. Depending on what you think
26:48
about in the winter window, Walter Nolan was considered the biggest fish. The
26:55
big question was what do people really think he's gonna be there at the right.
27:00
How's he gonna show up from Mississippi because there were a lot of questions
27:03
at A and M, but we got what we needed defensive line wise.
27:07
We got us a guy that's really good in the zone in des Malone,
27:11
So we got ourselves an additional corner I don't even talk about him in the
27:14
corner units on purpose. He moved up from the G five ranks into the
27:22
P five and he is really good when it comes to, like I said,
27:26
zone ball. So there are a few more moves that we know that's
27:41
going down, right, Adding a Caden Willard at the edge, which I
27:47
think he's gonna be one of the super sneaky good ones that's probably gonna shot
27:52
a lot of people next season, but adding Dominic next today, John Terry
27:57
gives you that experience. I put out a video a few days ago.
28:02
We talked about a Brandon Lane as well as a Aiden Huntington, and we
28:07
know that there's a good chance Oklahoma's gonna push for one of the two because
28:11
it's he's one of those guys that not only with both of them are they
28:15
only have one year left eligibility, which if you've heard me, I preach
28:18
this. I said at nauseum. We're purposely going after guys that aren't gonna
28:22
be here very long. Dominic should if Dominicu puts in the work that we
28:26
expect off the field and on the field, we anticipate that Dominic will go
28:36
draft next after next season. He ain't gonna be sticking around. So we
28:47
just need to add one more big body so the young guys can develop themselves
28:51
in preparation to play. I think that we have a chance with both if
29:03
we push forward. Now, I think we're in the evaluation phase of deciding
29:08
do we really want to add one more body, which I'm gonna be honest,
29:14
I do think we need to add one more body, and it has
29:18
nothing to do with the guys on the team. It's I like to have
29:22
that additional body because we're going into the SEC. As spoken by Klatt when
29:27
I was talking about his top twenty five, it's you know, the SEC's
29:32
gonna be a grueling schedule. Everybody has a lot of big bodies on their
29:37
roster. We need to get ourselves another one to go up there. And
29:41
I agree it's always good to have more. You gotta be not only a
29:45
horder but you gotta be greedy when it comes to defensive lineman if you can,
29:51
so Ung Kong can go after both. Totally here for it, but
29:56
I do think that one of them ends up being in a sooner Jersey.
30:00
Besides that, it's June. Guess what's happening in June, folks. Official
30:07
Visits Season. Now you can go check out you know the PG show boy
30:11
PG. He does a great job of keeping up with the players. He's
30:15
in the chat, losing his mind, you know, saying things that he
30:18
knows that I'm gonna ignore. So but Official Visit Season is here in June.
30:26
Every weekend in June, something's going down, right, There's gonna be
30:30
visitors, There's gonna be some sort of activities. The last one, twenty
30:36
first, I believe, is the Champion Barbecue weekend, the bigger one,
30:41
and a lot of big name players will be around Father's Day weekend as well
30:48
as the Champiu Barbecue weekend. A lot of big names, some five star
30:53
offensive line I think Fasusie as well as on My Rogers Ty Haywood supposed to
30:56
be pulling up reg Jonah's gonna potentially pull up Williams. Not sure. I
31:03
gotta go back and search and see if he's actually gonna be on there.
31:06
But there's gonna be a lot of dudes y'all want to know about on there,
31:08
and we're gonna start putting the list together. The lists are gonna be
31:15
long. I know pg's been keeping track of one and I need to start
31:19
adding to it. There's gonna be a lot of players, a lot of
31:22
people to keep in mind for that. So I don't really have a lot
31:27
of names nothing. I'm gonna drop a video that's gonna actually have pictures,
31:30
names, hype weight, you know how I do. We're gonna have a
31:33
lot of details is gonna come out. I'd rather put it out down the
31:37
line and really heavy out here, excited and not really do it. But
31:42
the list is long. Pg's been putting it all together. We know that
31:45
shout out to stick as Cat for another twenty bucks as all you fans.
31:51
We know that most of the returneys will do. But there will be guys
31:56
that shine this year that didn't that we didn't expect, expect greatness this year.
32:00
It's coming. I concur there's a lot of really good players on the
32:09
list, and a lot of good players on the roster that we don't even
32:15
really know yet, Like Gentry was one was a great one to pop up
32:17
on us right last season. We knew Gentry was gonna be good. But
32:22
then when he got on the scene, dude picking dudes off start the season,
32:24
if bee like, oh oh okay, it's funny because Woody wasn't getting
32:29
attention. But then Gentry started showing out, so everybody started going after Woody
32:35
again. So that's kind of what you start to see that balance there,
32:38
and you'll see the same thing with a Robert Spiars Jenning's You're gonna see that
32:43
with Billy Bowman and Peyton Bowen. You'll probably see some play from some of
32:46
the young players as well. You may see some Reggie Powers out there,
32:52
some Boganowski. The linebacker room is going to be absurd. That's the thing
32:58
that I'm happy is tomp out with this squad as I have zero stress and
33:04
what we're gonna actually turn out to be. I don't like a lot of
33:07
people are losing their minds about what Oklahoma is, ain't or could be.
33:15
M we got a good year ahead of us coming right. It's gonna be
33:25
fun, So please feel free hop in the comments, let me know what
33:34
y'all thinking, how y'all feeling, do y'all and anticipate any surprise players pulling
33:45
up at any of these events. Like I said, PG has a long
33:49
list that we go through typically together. There's a lot of players on there.
33:53
I haven't thumbed through all of it yet, just because try hins wiven
34:00
drop a bunch of videos of last few days and as Coop mentioned in the
34:04
comments, going short, he's not here. I want to do something solo
34:07
today. I normally bring in the collective, but it's it's kind of dead
34:12
right now, so I'll bring a collective in next week. We can really
34:15
debate on a lot of more lists because most of the list are about to
34:16
start coming out now. Everybody's out, a lot of the camps are done,
34:22
the kids are out of school. Most of them are doing mission trips
34:24
and like so missions doing some stuff. You're seeing a lot of that,
34:30
and so because of that, I anticipate these guys giving you all the year
34:39
that you all want in need next year. Yeah, let's look at through
34:51
y'all's questions real quick. We're gonna jump into the questions and stuff that you've
34:53
populated in here. I did see one from from Sooner Legends from Mike what's
35:00
good Man? You asked about NPL, So all the young players will be
35:02
here this summer. They'll be here for summer workouts and then going into the
35:07
fall, so there's no more practice until fall. Uh. The only thing
35:12
you got is guys coming into train, and so there's not really much to
35:15
talk about player wise besides previews of who's gonna be around and what's going on
35:22
until we get closer to fall camp. And then fall camp that's when you
35:28
get the way ends. We'll probably see the OUDNA get back to going and
35:36
all of that, so EPL will show up. Then you still got the
35:38
two wide receivers supposed to pull up kJ Daniels as well as Zion raging.
35:44
So you got two more wide receivers. It's gonna pull up pretty darn excited.
35:47
You got Michael Pattison McDonald's gonna pull up the safety room. Let me
35:52
pull up all the people that I know is gonna be coming through later.
36:01
Let me go pull this up. That got another good fun video. But
36:06
talk about recruiting rankings, because Oklahoma's done a really good job and we're proving
36:09
it, we'll have Taylor Tatum pulling up. Yes, that's a good point
36:15
here, he'll be in town. Got a lot of kids that still aren't
36:23
here yet, right. I think that's the crazy part is there's a lot
36:25
of players that aren't in town. Devon Jordan, who's out here winning track
36:30
and field titles, setting records. Jeremiah Nukelem, the young corner out of
36:37
Arizona who ain't here yet. He'll be here. So when you look at
36:45
your list, Tatum, Eddie Pierre Luis, Jeremiah Newcome, Zion, Raging,
36:51
Devon Jordan, kJ Daniels. Got a lot of them coming through.
37:01
Can't beat that, right. Oh yeah, let's wrap it up with this.
37:07
I know a lot of y'all probably won't talk about it because I'm know
37:08
a lot I've been talking about it. Who picking up? And say?
37:12
Who picking up? Twenty twenty five on July nineteenth? Who's ready? I'm
37:22
a cop it uh plan on jumping in the league with the discord. I'm
37:28
really hope that life doesn't kick my button. I'm able, and I'm not
37:31
consistent. For everybody there, I will feel bad. I'm definitely getting the
37:36
deluxe version. Kyle. That's the one I'm gonna get. I'm not getting
37:38
the MVP because I'm not gonna play Madden. It won't get touched, so
37:42
I don't feel like wasting my time on that. But yeah, I'm pretty
37:49
excited about that. Game's gonna be fun and everybody's gonna have fun playing it.
37:53
Right, I'm curious to who's your G five squad that you're gonna ride
38:02
with, because I know that for the most part, Sooner fans A're gonna
38:07
believe we have a dynasty, but as soon as but who are you gonna
38:08
actually start from and build up into a powerhouse before leaving to take the Oklahoma
38:14
job. Me, I've been between Coasta, Carolina, Tulane. Wyoming is
38:22
using my go to them with Bowling Green just because I'm pretty weird. That's
38:24
just kind of my my my weird team that I like to go with.
38:29
That Brown just you know, warms my heart went out there winning titles,
38:34
I had the whole I don't think it's gonna be on there the Vandals come
38:37
back yet. Did they bring back their football program? I think they brought
38:44
their football program back. I think they did. They did bring it back.
38:52
They left and then they return FCS. So yep, Big Scott,
39:01
So I think I'm gonna I may actually potentially roll with Idaho just because it'd
39:09
be weird. Now, I know a few people think about going with like
39:13
Oregon State and Washington State, which is kind of terrible. Yeah, that's
39:15
what I thought. The FC right ours taught me I need to stay let
39:21
me say for focus better in my game. I'm living. I'm gonna kick
39:23
you out whereas the block, but I should put you in time out for
39:31
that. But no, I I'm thinking Coastal Caroline's gonna be my team in
39:39
one of the dynasties. I still don't know who else I wanna go to.
39:45
I love this one. Uh, Steven, that's pretty funny. Uh.
39:50
You mentioned about Army and if you've ever played any of the older NCAA
39:59
game and gone through dynasties, you realize that the service academies are the ones
40:02
that the video game has yet to figure out how to defend, and every
40:07
single one of them ends up in the top ten every season, like air
40:10
Force has kicked been the biggest problem child I've run into for years. Them
40:15
and BYU B WHYU always ends up with really good classes? Extremely fascinating that
40:22
they're able to do that. So all right, I've rambled enough for y'all
40:27
hopping the comments. Let me know what y'all think, how I feel.
40:29
Thank y'all for pulling up and hanging out with me. Coop will be back,
40:34
should be back next week. We'll probably bring the collective back again.
40:37
We'll talk about the upcoming ends because that's actually Memorial weekend. So unless you
40:43
know y'all playing on doing a whole bunch of barbecuing and being out in the
40:45
streets, I'm gonna make sure that we'll do something then on that on Sunday,
40:50
Sunday night like we always do hang out. I'm off Monday, so
40:55
make sure to figure out something else to do at that point. So yeah,
41:01
we'll be back next week doing what we do best, just running them
41:06
out. So they are pulling up, hopping the comments like subscribe, rate,
41:09
review, share why because sharing is carrying And we'll chop it up with
41:14
y'all in a few days and y'all stay safe. Talk soon. Thanks,
