• 1:57
  Speaker 1: we didn't really do anything on Sunday or or Yeah,
• 2:00

  Speaker 1: like we need to take a break because when things
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: ramp up in January. I don't feel like we're gonna
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: slow down next year. I feel like next year is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: gonna be a year of a lot, let's put it
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that way.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so awesome. I think so. Yeah. Christmas
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: was good, and uh, little little man got the got
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the rona. Uh so it can split up, split up some, yeah,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: split up some of the the comings and goings around Christmas.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: But you know, you know, Santa still came. He still
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: enjoyed himself, and I only think he's even opened all
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: of his stuff yet he's just uh jelly, he gets
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: stuck on it and uh you know between the legos
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and connect stuff and all that fun stuff. But yeah,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: pretty good Christmas, how about you?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah it was good. You know, no cooties around here.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: But at the same time we uh, I've been actually
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: fighting the cooties, the alergies, be kicking my tail because
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: it was seventy degrees on Christmas Day?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Like who does that? Who does that?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Who made mother nature that mad to where we had
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to have a seventy degree like week and then it
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: just tanked And I've been feeling like crazy.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: If you've heard me over or unlocked on, I've.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Been halfway tarkling through my lungs and halfway talking regular
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: because it's been bad. It's been bad. Your boy's been
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: on the bend a drip. Ain't nothing good about feeling
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: like crap, But whatevers, they don't want to hear us
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: talk about our lives even though we love y'all. Thank
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you for pulling up at the light button. If you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: need to the channel, subscribe rate review, give us five stars,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: check out. Comments have been great, But we gotta talk
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: about these portal entries. So as of now six seven,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: eight nine, we had with eleven players twelve players that
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: have hit the transfer portal so far. To me, I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: think this is probably these two are probably the biggest
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: ones right now. First and foremost, Troy Everett entered the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: portal earlier what was it this week and not gonna lie.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: That kind of saddened me. At the same time, I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: understand it's a circumstance where our mans could not stay healthy,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: just bad luck. Knee injury after knee injury. But when
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: he was healthy, dude was nails. Like he got hurt
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: last season in the spring, did all the work rehab,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the training staff, he praised them, so they were fantastic
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to him. Because he came back with Tennessee and played
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: every game for US the season.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: That to me is a warrior.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: That was impressive and I commend him because, yeah, man,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that was at a time where a lot of people
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: had questions about our training staff. He went out his
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: way to make sure to praise them because because of them,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: after the surgery and all the work, he was back playing.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: He played the entire season. Then he had hurt to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: start this season Week one. After the Week one game,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: he gets hurt and he's out. So I'm assuming he'll
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: get a medical rid shirt. Uh he definitely deserves it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, we lose one of our vocal leaders
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: out of that room.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you see the sea on his chest. I mean
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to see. He continued to walk out there every single
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: game this year. Uh, you know, at the beginning of
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: the game as one of the captains, and you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: saw some chatter between uh, you know, his folks and
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: just how how great the uh you know, the staff
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: had been. You know throughout the whole year. You know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: we saw him go out against uh, you know, opponent
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: number one, and then you see Michael kind of take
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: over and take charge against Michigan, and everybody thought, you know, well,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: why is this guy still trotting out there as the
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: captain if he got unseated. But I mean, you know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: there's there's a lot more to football, I guess from
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: the DNA standpoint of things, who's going to do a
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: really really good, you know job at taking care of
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the you know, the I guess the camaraderie, and he
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: was one of them. And yeah, it sucks. It sucks
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: watching him because he was kind of like that that
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: swing offensive lineman. You know, whether it needed to be
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: guard or center, I'm pretty sure he'd have been willing
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: to do anything. But at this point, you know, you
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: kind of have the situation where do you want to
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: let a guy go try to get a new environment
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: to go to, or do you continue to, you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: try to put him in the numbers and be somebody
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: you rely on. And so if that's any indication, you're
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: going to see a couple of these happen. And then
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: we saw it with another one, another offensive lineman that
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: just can't stay healthy too. But you know, we we
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: we tried our best, but the best ability is availability.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: It really is. I think that sucks? Is it?
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I hate that statement, while at the same time it's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the truth, right that he's won you who also lost
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a few other lost your young player in Isaiah Dent.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: That was one of the main reasons of him basically
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: hitting the portal. He hadn't been able to stay healthy
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: since you know, since he's been here, he played one
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: game against Maine and you start to see out that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: tackle spot of oh, yeah, he's gonna probably give you something.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: But he unfortunately just it didn't didn't work out. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that's what you kept running into in a lot of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: these circumstances. Was health right, We talk about it, it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: You kinda have you kind of have to have it right.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: You need to be on the field so we can
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: really evaluate. And so I think when you look at
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: some of these portal exits too with some of these players.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: The thing to also keep in mind is as as
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: we continue on, this is the first through portal season
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: for this front office. Yeah, I think that's something we
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: have to keep in mind when you start looking at
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the exits and possible entrances. These front office staff members,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you know, from Stacy Fourd to Lake Dawson to Naggy Right,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: all of these front office folks have been really keyed
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: in on the players as they enter the portal as
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: well as as their team. As a coaching staff change.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: That allows them to really key in on them at
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the portal. They're starting to look at who is.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Available.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: They're doing the true scouting. They're trying to determine who
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: would be a culture fit, something the coaching staff typically
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't have time to do. They're doing all that work
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: now and so because of that, we're gonna be in
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: a circumstance where you're gonna see some good, some possibly
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: really good returns going forward. And so to continue on
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the offensive Lineko announced this morning that he is entering
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the portal. It was great the Stanford transfer came in.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I think he played a couple of games, didn't really
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: get a lot. It just did not, unfortunately work out.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: But it was a good experiment because when he did
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: play in some of the reserve moments, he's actually solid,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: not alive. He just wasn't He wasn't gonna take the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: starting spot from Foger or Derrick Simmons this season and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: next year. I think Foget's got that right tackle spot
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: locked up.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: One hundred percent. You know, you get a depth piece,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: you're gonna need more of guys like this. That's a
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: hard sell too, because most of the times when guys
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: are going into the portal, they want to go play right.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: This is this is them trying to get get themselves
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: in a spot to prove that they can go to
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: the NFL. And uh, but mclinko is another one of
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: those guys you you pulled in and as you were
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: needing them, he pulled up. But you know, when you've
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: got five star talents, you know that that is emerging,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta kind of weigh it with the
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: with you know, as the staff kind of kind of
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: weigh it is you know, do we side this guy
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: in and you know he's going to be I mean pretty,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: you know, average. You know he's gonna have some ups,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: he's going to have some downs. Would you rather go
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: with that with a freshman, you know, five star guy
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: in a fo jay or would you rather you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: so that he can iron some of those things out
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: because the ceilings are much much higher for uh, a
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Ryan Foja and so wish becklnco the best of luck.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: You know, same thing with Audrey Dent and with Everett.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: These are great culture guys and that's the culture that's
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: being fit is you learn these families. You know, I
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: got to say that, you know, Coach Dent's been you know,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: a big guy on this show. I know that the
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: ever families watched through. I don't know about the Clinko specifically.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: But I think that, you know, that's the tough part
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: about this is it's easy to when it's a cancerous guy,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: you know, you just want to get off the team.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: But when it's great people, great family, you know, great
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: sooner you know, all in families. Yeah, it's tough. It's tough.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is tough, man. You hate seeing that losing
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: players like this, Like I've the the one thing I've
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: heard the most about a lot of the players is
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: they they really like the family aspect of the way
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: this team operates, right, They operate in a very.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Much a family environment, the coaches, the players, everything, And yeah,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: saddens you when you see that. So yeah, adding to that,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, the list continues.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: To go on of portal entries, and now the floodgates
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: are going to be definitely, uh, you know, definitely gonna
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: be some big some some big names coming down the line.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in a second. Next up, Devon
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Jordan hit the portal as well, probably one of the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: bigger surprises for me. While at the same time, I
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: get it, the room was kind of getting full, the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: players were getting full, and now here you go, you're
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: losing out on one of the to me, one of
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the better DB's young dbs that we had. But you
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: knew that you kind of had this all the writing
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: on the wall because the way things were going. If
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you noticed, the teams would pick on him. He was
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: like a target for them as soon as he got
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: on the field. Now that sack he got to gainst
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Alabama was just elite very much.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, this is one that I think he
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: was Actually my wife teaches at Tulsa Union and so
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: he was there, you know, in one of her classes.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I got to see him his senior year. Just absolute stude.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: It's you saw BV rotate in guys. You know when
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: when when you've got two solid guys like Cortland Gillery
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: and Eli Bowen out there and then every once a
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: while you see Jakoba Johnson and Devon Jordan kind of
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: rotate in. That's because they were all earning great practice,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: you know, reps they were they were doing great in practice.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: They were showing that they were trustworthy. And you know,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: he he did have a couple of oops last year
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: when he was trying to return kicks and stuff off
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: the U on special teams, but you know, he was
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: showing tremendous growth, and as a player, you got to go,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, am I going to get twenty snaps you know,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: as the backup defensive back and you know, just have
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: to wait for an injury, which you know nobody wants
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: that for your teammates. But at the same time, he
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: now believes, Okay, I can go somewhere else and show that,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you know, I can hold down one of these spots
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: on my own, and he has them growing that he's
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: going to continue he needed and unfortunately, to do that growing,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: you kind of have to have reps and I don't
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: know if you're getting that going ten, fifteen to twenty
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: reps a game like you're gonna need, you know, the
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: sixty you know, defensive plays.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: At minimum, you got you gotta get on the field
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: in order to show that you can get better. So
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: all right, while we're recording this, and this is a
• 14:20

  Speaker 1: was gonna go down. Both Hawkins have hit the portal,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Michael Hawkins as well as Malie Hawkins. I was really
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: hoping not to lose the league, but I totally understand
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: him and his brother appears to be a package deal.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: So the brothers are out. Michael Hawkins is gone. Kind
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: of figured it was gonna be that way, especially when
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you saw the tweets from his dad and mom during
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the game and how they just weren't happy with how
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Matia was playing and fans weren't feeling the exact same way,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: So I totally understand it can't be mad about that,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and so Hawkins is gonna go out there and find
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: himself a new spot to play.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: What you think.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is a raw athlete that got thrown
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: in last year, you know, probably before he was fully
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: ready to go. You know, he's been brought up by
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: a guy in Michael Hawkins Senior, who was one of
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: my favorite recruits. I mean, that's how crazy. This is
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: one of my favorite recruits back in the day when
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: he you know, committed to OU as a defensive back.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: You know, he went to the Green Bay Packers. You know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: had his you know cup of coffee in the NFL.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: So Michael's been around the culture and everything and knows
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: and is guided how to become you know, the the professional.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: That being said, Uh, you know he had some ups.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: He had some downs last year, which I mean anybody
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: who played on the out offensive side of the ball. Uh,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: there were much more downs than ups. But Hawkins showed
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: a lot. He got his opportunity after the Auburn game,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: you know, with my tears injury, to come out against
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Kent State, one of the worst teams in college football,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: and really go out there and show I deserve for
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: this job to be to mine, to be mine like,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: or to be in very very big contention for this.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just got to say we we were
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: more confused after that start against Kent State than we were,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: you know, comfortable. He had this weird, unorthodox release we'd
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: never seen before. He had the unfortunate situation with k
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: tes Lewis, you know, at the beginning of the game,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: and you know, don't know if that really shook him
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: or not, but for to go out against that type
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: of a team, you probably should he should have pushed
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: for four hundred total yards offense, and it didn't happen.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: So you wondered, what, you know, where was he at.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Is this still just a great athlete who's trying to
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: learn how to play the game, or was he just
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: a great athlete? You know, and so he's going to
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: want to go somewhere. You know, with Malik, we never
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: really got to see Malik out there outside of you know,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: some some garbage time stuff. But you know, we wish
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: him the best, uh you know, obviously his dad being
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: a Sooner alum, you know, we're still going to see
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: him around. But Michael, you know, we we wish him
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: the best. We hope that he goes to a program
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: and gets his opportunity, and you know, kind of like
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Devon Jordan is, you need the reps, you need to
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: go out there and you need to learn, and it's
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: hard to do that, uh, you know, on the on
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: the back as a backup quarterback, Uh in the NFL.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: It's hard to do that as backup quarterback in college
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: football now because your leading guy is going to get
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: a bunch of money. And when you see guys like
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Trinidad Schambliss gets his opportunity to go out there and cook,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: it's hard for a backup quarterback who feels that he
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: also offers the same you know, tangibles and tangibles that
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: it's hard just to stay sitting. So Materi coming back
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: most likely. That's I mean, I don't think that's breaking
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: news to anybody, but Hawkins wants to go out there.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: And then you also know that's your OC hand pick,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: the guy that's coming in back behind you. So you
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: got to make your move while you have your opportunity.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: And that's why the transfer portal exists.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: That's what it is, man.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: It's players want opportunity to play, they want opportunity to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: prove themselves. They want opportunity to go out and if
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the system doesn't work for them, or does is it
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: conducive to their talents. Unfortunately, you know, the opportunities don't happen.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: And so for Michael will always have the Auburn game
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: where he went out there and went on the road
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: as a true freshman who won that game.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: You know, you saw some.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Good, you saw some flashes of what he could be,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and you know, so to that point, Kent State, you
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: got a little bit more. I think he'll do fine.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious to where maybe he goes to
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: TCU and go back home in that area. I know
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: that they were a finalist when we were recruiting him
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and Sunny Dice was still there, so they ain't got
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: a QB. I mean, Seals just won that game against
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: USC and the what's that the Alamobo, So maybe he
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: can go down there and compete with Seals for the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: starting spot since Hoover is gone. Yeah, there's gonna be
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: some opportunities. Michael Hawkins has got the talent and I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: know a lot of schools are definitely gonna look at him.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: So that kind of really sad to me. And then
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: of course, Malik was one that you know, y'all have
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: heard me talk about as one that I'm hoping gets
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: gets you know, some some run at corner. I've always
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: felt like he was gonna be one of that three
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: headed monster group that was gonna really shine with him
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Courtland as well as Tristan Haynes. But I'm sensing you're
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: probably gonna see a lot of Haines next year. I
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: think he'll be about ready. It'll be a mixture of him, Courtland, Gillery,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Eli Bowen, as well as probably Jakobe Johnson. Now that
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Devon Jordan is also in the portal, So that's now
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: what twelve player thirteen players in the portal. That gets
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: us about nine short of my.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Twenty two prediction.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: We still got a lot more players that I anticipate
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: hitting the portal, just because, like I said, people want opportunities.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: And Hawkins, both Hawkins, you know, like Michael probably was
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: gonna play as a red shirt junior, which would give
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: him two years at starting quarterback here or heck, he
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: could have probably walked in and try to take the
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: job next year, you know from MATERII, or play some
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: with Matier. But he got his red shirt and that
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: to me was probably the most important thing. I know
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of people wanted him to go out there
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: and play. We won ten games without him. I didn't
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: want to jeopardize his red shirt. In a situation where
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: you truly didn't need to jeopardize his red shirt, didn't
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: make any say to do that.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: He's got his red shirt. He's gonna have three years
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: left of college football. I'm playing.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: He's gonna play all three of them, and he's gonna shine.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna do well wherever he goes. I'm
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: just hoping he could put up the numbers that everyone's
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: hoping that he can put up. From there, Maleak, I
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: was hoping was gonna actually be one of your rotational
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: piece of next season because he's a bigger bout a
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: corner similar to.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: His dad, and I've heard nothing but great things about
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: his fightiness. So yeah, that being said, Coop, go ahead.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, it's especially when you saw
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: the success from the Brothers Bowen. You know, everybody thought
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Peyton was the crown jewel of that family and turns
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: out that they're both diamonds. And so when you saw that,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: you were hoping that Malie Hawkins, would you know, kind
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: of do the same thing again. You said feisty, you know,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: a thicker body guy who's willing to put his nose
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: in there and do some good stuff. And so you know,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: I bet that's you know, people who are gonna watch that.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: They're both going to get, you know, great reviews from
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: you know, uh from Arbuckle, from Jvli, you know, from
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: our coaching staff and uh, you know, if they go
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: down there and like you said, the TCU, uh TCU
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: doing doing sooner faithful, a solid last night and you know,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: winning a winning a game against uh against old captain Riley,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: that's uh, yeah, he's used to losing. I don't know
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: if you saw that screenshot. Dude catches the ball, he
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: has a guy in front of him and then three
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: guys right between him and the and the sideline is
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: literally right there, like you have essentially five defenders with
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: the sideline. But anyway, go down to TCU, if that's
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: if that's where they do end up. I do think
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: that they're gonna get some some good opportunities because I mean,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Michael got to play against SEC competition, you know, got
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: to go on the road at Jordan Hare and uh
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: go do his thing there leak. Like I said, he's
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: gonna have some practice film and he's you know, he
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: did get to play some time, you know, as a freshman.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: So we'll see, we'll see what happens.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm saddened, like I said that they're gone, But
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: at the same time, guess what, I get it. It's
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: one of those where.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it just I don't know, I get it. The
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: game is the game, so well, same thing. Who else
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: is in that portal? That really just kind of jumps out.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: You got we saw Jake, you saw Jacob Sexton, you know,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: he hit the portal expected that was one that I
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: think were really confused about just trying to see here, let.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Me pull on up everybody that's in the portal now
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: for Oklahoma, Kobe McKenzie, Kendall Dolby, Jayden Gibbs, and the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Mackenzie one was a little bit of surprising, But at
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: the same time I kind of got it. You know, Owen,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: if Owen Heineken can get that extra year, which I'm
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: telling you all right now, I have zero faith the
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: NCAA will take care of him. So I'm not gonna
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: be on that train of believing, Oh he's coming back
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: next year. I will believe it when I see it.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: When it happens, I'm gonna be excited. I won't take
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: credit for it either, I'll just say, look, I didn't
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: believe in the NCAAA, and they did a good job
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: of making me proud and making me look wrong. We
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: knew that Javonte barn is gonna hit the portal. Wimberley
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: was a little bit of surprise, But at the same time,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I think that room is gonna get really full, really fast,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: very much. The talent's there. We got a lot of
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: young players that are gonna be playing for the next
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: few years. So the true path to play really isn't there.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And he's coming off shoulder surgery, so I don't know.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: We'll see what the other players are bringing in how
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: that looks. But yeah, now, I guess the biggest thing
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: here is who's next. So Hawkins is of course in there.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Let me see, So you add Hawkins, you add both
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Hawkins boys.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: So that's what.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, Because
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: that includes Jacob Snyder, who's a quote unquote you know,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: didn't he get the Baker Mayfield walk On scholarship or
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so that's what I think it was.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Snyder is when I got that one, I couldn't think
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it's him a Jordan, but Jordan got a full scholarship
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Jacob Jordan did. So fourteen players in the portal, so
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: that's eight more left. Let's speculate on who we think
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: those Uh I guess who those next four could possibly
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: be because I've been thinking about it for like the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: last what probably say day or two, trying to figure
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: out who would be the next ones that could go.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: So let's see who's next on that list. Before we
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: do that, though, shout out our partners over there at
• 27:12

• 28:44
  Speaker 1: so coop speculation. We'll do this and then we'll wrap
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: up and talk ball. Who do you think will hit
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the portal next?
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: I think that you're gonna see something more from like
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: the skill position area, you know, from running back. We
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: saw Javonte Barnes already go. You know, I would expect
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: to see maybe a Taylor Tatum hit the uh hit
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: the portal? Uh. You know, the common theme around the
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: portal is health, like who can stay healthy? Who can?
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Who can do it? And you know, I don't know really,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: you know, with Taylor decides that he wants to play
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: football full time or baseball full time and put just
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: everything into it, that's a tough that's a tough goal.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: We saw a lot of flashes from him as a
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: freshman last year, but we also know that he let
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: go of the rock quite often. So unfortunately, he might
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: be one that I would expect to go staying in
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: the skill room because potentially, you know, maybe like an uh,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: an ive and carry on. You know, at what point
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: do you want to you know, go out there and
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: show that you're you're you're able to do it. You've
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: got a big body. You know, you could be used
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: in some aspects. You know, we all expected to see
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: him in the red zone area. You know, over several
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: times he showed some flashes. He had you know, kind
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: of one handed catch that wasn't a catch? Was that
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: against Missouri? But uh it was it was at home.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: But you know he's another one that you know, I
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: potentially expect to see in the portal. Also, we talked
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: about a couple of years ago. It's you know, you're
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: going to get the spots where it's you're excited about
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: guys and you want to see them produce and become
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: somebody because you see what the potentials are. But then
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: you're also going to start seeing you know that the
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: peanut butter beet spread across the toast of college football
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: that if guys they deserve, if they deserve, you know,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: an opportunity, they're going to go somewhere where they can
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: get an opportunity because maybe there's a lot of traffic
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: up in front of them.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of the biggest problems you're running into
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: right now, is there are.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: When you read the tea leaves as as I do, like, yeah,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I know us. The way we do things here is
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: we always stick to what's public. We don't get put
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the private stuff out there and just kind of pull
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the curtains back for some of you all for the uninitiated,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: understand kind.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Of how this works.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: As we've gotten bigger and bigger, I mean, the channel's
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: pushing right at twenty one thousand subs, we're growing. Of course,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: we're not as big as Teddy and Gabe, you know,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: we're our former players. But you know, as we're getting
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: better and better at this and providing y'all with better
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: and better content, we're getting more and more information.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Passed to us. And it's less.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Like insider type, you know, insiders shooting us stuff. More
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: so parents. A lot of parents are sending us inside info.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Like we've got parents telling us stuff all the time,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: but in the confidence of them and our quote unquote sources.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: As people hate the word but at the same time
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: that's the games, the game. They don't want that information
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: out there, but they do want us to know what's
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: going on in the background. So in a lot of
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: these conversations that we're telling you, it's not that we're
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: just guessing one hundred percent on it. A lot of
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: it is speculation, but if it's not public, we're not
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: going to tell you the actually information. But we had
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: told a lot of stuff by stuff pass This stuff
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: that passed to Coop that he don't even tell me,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: this stuff that's passed to me that I don't even
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: tell Coop. And it's because there's so much information that
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: can be thrown out there. We want to make sure
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: that anything we're putting out there is we're putting the
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: we're making sure that it makes it's in the best
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: interest of everybody. And a lot of the times they
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: tell the stuff like, hey, don't tell anybody, but this
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: is what's going on, this is what this is, and
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: this is happening. And so you may not hear us
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: talk about a topic that y'all seeing floating around on
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: social media, that's why. And so I kind of wanted
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: to clear that up for a lot of people to
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: understand that as people pass us stuff, we take our
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: time and we filter through it before we share. And
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: then there's stuff that's passed to me. I'll throw a
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Coop and be like, hey, you heard this, and he's like, actually,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: someone shot me a message about that yesterday. And so
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: we try to clarify things and make sure you know
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: what makes sense and whatnot. So as we're going through
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: this speculation, some of this stuff is truly actually all
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: of this is tea leaves. We're looking at the ideas
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Coop mentioned before, who ain't playing and who ain't got
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: a path to play. So when I look at it
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: like that wide receiver room is probably the one room,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, dude, there's gotta be a ton of players.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: It's gonna hit the portal right, Like I'm looking at
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: an Ivan carry on, I'm looking at a Josiah Martin.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at Zion Raging as well as kJ Daniels.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: We haven't even got to got a chance to even
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: see them. Even though Brent Vinnables spoke highly of kJ Daniels,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: that's one of his best scout guys, we ain't seeing
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: much of that on the field yet. So there's gonna
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: be speculation with some of these players, like Andy Bass
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering with all his knee injuries, does he maintain a.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Spot on the rod store.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Does he decide to go, you know, seek an opportunity
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: to play elsewhere. We all got to keep in mind
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: scholarships have been raised to one hundred and five players. Now,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: we're not a circumstance where you have to get rid
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: of people. But at the same time, if you want
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: to bring in people in the portal come January, tewod
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: you probably want to take advantage of that. So that
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: being said, I can see Gentry hitting the portal. I mean,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: you saw Devine Jordan hit the portal. So unless Gentry
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: is okay with being a solid reserve and he's thinking
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: about going into the coaching realm told to see him
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: hitting the portal as well, after dealing with his injuries
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: or whatnot. But I know he loves ou. I know
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: he loves Oklahoma.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Jake Taylor going with Jake Sexton, Logan Howland probably too.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Now Howland could stick around.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: At this point, it looks like there's a possibility. But
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the wire's here room first.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Who you think is gonna come in.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: There, come to Oklahoma?
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: H's gonna lea like? Who else do you think also
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: gonna come to head that they're gonna hit the portal too.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Full disclaimer, You're still dealing with kids. You're still
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: dealing with kids who are developing, you know, not only
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: on the football field, but just you know, as people,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: and now with the agencies and the representation. You know,
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: it's hard because if you're a guy like let's pick
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: up Josiah Martin. Josiah Martin transfers here last year. I
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: think you and I picked him, as you know earlier
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: early in the season, as potential, you know, playmaker for
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: the team. Well, you give him a certain amount of
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: money and he comes here and never sees the field. Yep,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: that conversation is an earnings based conversation. There's no rules
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: against this. Like if in our in our big boy jobs,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: you know, you do really, really well, you get a raise.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: In the big boy job, you're you're protected outside of
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: you know, being let go. You're protected from someone coming
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: in and reducing your salary just because of worker rights
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: laws and whatnot. But in the in the in the
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: n I l opportunities like you're you're you're paid based
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: on your value. And value is a A is a
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: is an amount agreed on between two people. I was
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: trying to tell my kids about this the other day,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: like why would people leave the team? Dad, Well, it's because,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: you know, let's see kJ Daniels, he's got some certain
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: amount of money that he's getting and if you can't
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: find your way on the field, is there an opportunity
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: to go and find somebody from a you know, a
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: group of five or an FCS area who has produced
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: and is looking for a little bit more money and
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: try to run it back. Because I mean a guy
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: like kJ Daniels been on the team for a few
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: years now. So that being said, you know, I would
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: say kJ Daniels, Ragings, carry on. Uh, those are probably
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: all guys that are probably going to have offers on
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: the table from the team and they're going to say
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: this is you know, this is what we what we
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: think that you know, your your worth is and you
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: know we want you to stay here, we want you
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: to be here. But if you really feel that you
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: were worth more money, if you're worth more and you
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: can do more for a team and somebody is willing
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: to give you more, that's why you leave. And so
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: I it's not it's not any it's on any you know,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: secret day that We saw about five receivers actually play
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: this year. You know, there wasn't a big rotation in
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: the receiver room. And you had a couple of injuries,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: you know, with keyantes Lewis going down, you saw carry
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: on coming in a little bit. We saw a little
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: bit of Jacob Jordan. So maybe a Jacob Jordan says, hey, listen,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: I've got some film. I could go somewhere and do
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: some damage, you know, somewhere at like a Tulane or
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: somewhere at uh, you know, another opportunity to you know,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: North Texas is going to need some players. Iowa State's
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: going to need some players.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Heck, Homestate's about to need a whole bunch of players.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, same thing. So I mean, if you have some Dallas,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, let's go with a gentry Williams. The pressure
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: for you to be out there and to be in
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: All American is pretty intense. And if you could go
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: to Oklahoma State because you're from Tulsa and that's an
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: option for you, I mean you could go there and
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: not only help tutor some of the other guys, but
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: then also you get out there and you could go
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: you know, probably walk in and start from day one.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: So I mean that's the receiver room. I would say
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: expect for four or more to probably go. I would
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: not like to see Zion Kearney leave. But Zion Kearney
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: is another guy who we continue to hear more and
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: more and more about, you know, during the offseason, and
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: then you don't see him on the field at all.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: And is it a situation where he just needs a
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: new coaching staff to be looking at him? You know it?
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: That's I mean, you get that opportunity. I mean, I
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: look at Dejaun Stribling, who was at Okla State, didn't
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: get a ton of run at Oklahoma State, transfers over
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: to Old miss and is one of the more reliable receivers.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a step up in competition, that's a
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: step up in opportunity. And the guys made themselves some
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: money this year. So could a Zion Kurney be a
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: guy who says, you know, maybe I want to go
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: to TCU, maybe I want to go to Iowa State
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: and be their kind of frontline receiver. That's with coaching
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: changes and all these things, there's a lot of holes
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: and opportunities across the country. But Jay the Bow on
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: this rant is grass is not always greener. You know,
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: there was someone like four thousand college football players in
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: the portal as of right now, and it hasn't truly
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: even opened yet. With that being said, not every single
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: one of those guys will find a landing spot because
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: every time you hop in, there's another receiver that's going
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: to hop in. There's another guy that's going to hop in.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: And it's not only just Hey, here's what I think
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: my value is. It's connections with coaching staffs, front office
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: staff members that have moved and they may take somebody
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: who's not as good as you, but they've got a relationship.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: They've seen you. It's a proven commodity because they actually
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: know whereas if a Stacy Ford went to heck, let's
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: go with an Arizona State or something like that, he's
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: seen a guy like Zion Kearney, and he might pick
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: Zion over another guy because he has seen what he is.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: You there was a stat that was put out yesterday
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: that like over three thousand kids have already hit the
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: portal and hasn't even opened yet officially. Yeah, last year
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: was like two.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Thousand, like twenty eight hundred, So you saw a big jump. Yeah,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: was that a thirty twenty percent increase? Ginormous. I am
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: truly curious to.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: How many of those kids last year didn't find home.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: I know there was a big chunk they did not
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: find homes. And that's what it is. There's a lot
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: of kids playing college ball. And the other thing to
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: remember is as kids in the lower ranks shine G five,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: G five fcs P four schools are getting a shot,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and you're seeing a lot of them shine at the
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: P four level, and you're like, oh, why did.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: They get missed? Easy? They didn't camp, they didn't test well.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Little things they developed late bloomers, they developed well when
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: they when they went down and came back up, that happened.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna see a lot of that.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm truly curious to see how how many players
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: leave and end.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Up at quote unquote P four programs. I think I
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: think Hawkins boys will both of them.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Should actually think the majority of the players on ours will,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: but I think a lot will end up at I
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: think a good percentage will end up at G five.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: So when I'm looking at the speculation, like you mentioned,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: carry on, we was talking about him, I when is he.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Gonna play, That's my question. Now.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I would love to keep them. We love the ginormous
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: human being and I think that he could do something
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: in time. But Josiah Martin was one that I thought
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: was gonna come in and be a good slot guy.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: He hasn't played this year. I wonder if they red
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: shirted him. And but does he go out there, does
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: he take a spot or do we go with a
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: bigger slot guy or Setania maintains that and you play
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: more of the outside guys.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. I'm not sure what could go
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: there o line. I do think Taylor hits it.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I do think Holland has a chance to He could
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: probably go somewhere and play, but they build his confidence
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: up after coming off injury. He'd be a really good
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: debt piece long term, Like he's got a couple of
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: years of he'd probably actually gets some playing time, significant
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: playing time. Just I don't think he's gonna end up
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: starting over anybody, because I know that he did well
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: in camp, But I don't think he's going to start
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: over for Susi or Fojier.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: And I would say with like a logan Hollan he
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: had shoulder surgery. He's had multiple surgeries where he's supposed
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: to be building the strength and so he has been
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: unable to get out there and build strengths. Same situation
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: with the Jake Sexton is if you had the opportunity
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: to get out there and really become, you know, a bigger,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: stronger human being, you can't. Like when you're playing offensive line,
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: you either have to have phenomenal technique, phenomenal strength, or
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: phenomenal IQ. And like a guy with Jake Sexton, great
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: IQ has not been able to develop his strength. His
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: footwork has been you know, come and go, and to
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: be a great offensive lineman, I think that you have
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: to have two of those three. Great strength, great IQ,
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: great strength, great footwork, great IQ, great footwork. And I
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: think with the Logan Holan, do you want to sit
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: here and be a backup? Do you want to be
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: a swing guy again? Same thing with Davon Jordan. Do
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: you want to be a guy who has the opportunity
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: to go and play more snaps and grow or do
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: you want to be a guy who, you know, with
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Ogan Allen, play ten snaps a game when somebody needs
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: a breather, Like that's you kind of want to stick with.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: You want to stick with, you know, the group that's
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: going to be doing the best. And you know, I
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: even go to like a Javonte Barnes, Vonte Barnes. He's
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: a big, powerful back, right he is just you know,
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: take the handoff and then go get something. I think
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: Jontay Barnes's guy that I'd love to see goes like
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: a George Tech. You know, they can open up holes
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: the way that they now. They just lost their ocs,
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: so some stuff will change. But he's a guy who's
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: a big you know that that that full back esque,
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: you know, old school style of football, and so sometimes
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: you do need to see the opportunity to play. You
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: do need to see you know, does does going somewhere
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: and getting exposed? Uh? You know, I will go with
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: like a Sabyon Bird from a couple of years ago.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: He goes down to SMU, gets the full on playing time,
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: loses his job, has a bad time, and I think
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: that staying under Bill, being bow and working on your development,
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: probably he would have been he'd have been a thumper
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: this year. So it's like I said, grass is not
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: always greener. On the other side, sometimes people see the
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: five or six snaps of success, and they completely keep
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: the thirty five forty snaps of we need to proof
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: out of their memory and they take those five snaps
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: and they're like, that's what I'm capable of. Well, if
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: we're honest, you're capable of being inconsistent, and that's going
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: to shine if you get your opportunity. But you're looking
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: for measurables too. I mean, Logan Hallan has phenomenal measurables.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: And I think that there's a lot of a lot
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: of conferences and a lot of teams out there would
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: say yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll take that guy.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: And coaching staffs too. You're getting an offensive lineman from
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Bill bidenbow like they will see that. And maybe, like
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: I said, maybe a news environment is good for a
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: guy like a Jake Sexton, a Logan Hallan, Autrey Dent.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: I think Autry Dent has all the pedigree and all
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: the coaching in the world to become a phenomenal player,
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: But you got to stay on the field.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: That's true. That's a good point.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: That's all I say about that.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: That's all he's got to say about that, which is
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: a good thing to say, right you kind of laid
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: it out there.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: So okay, let's take a gander at the playoff games
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: and gives like our final looks because tonight you've got
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: your first one, which is the Miami game against Ohio
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: State an others. Thank you all for pulling up. Hit
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: the like button if.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: You need to the channel, subscribe great review, give us
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: five stars. Miami Ohio State very interesting one.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Right now.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: The spread is sitting in Ohio State at nine, and
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I have I don't think that game's gonna be a blowout.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's gonna be a close one. I
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: like Miami's defense, I do. I just don't like Mario Christobal.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be completely blunt there. Don't have much faith
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: in them and making the right decision. So, but that's
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: one big one to look at. What do you think
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: about that game?
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, I still don't trust the guys at the
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: top of the big ten. I don't trust Oo State,
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: I don't trust Indiana. I know Miami has the capability
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: to potentially go out and make a run at the
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: national championship. They got Crystal Ball and Carson Beck. You
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: know you've got You've got. Ohio State plays Texas scores
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: two touchdowns, they score ten points against Indiana. You saw Indiana,
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: you know, score twenty at Iowa and I was actually
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: thumping Vanderbilt right now. So I just I think this
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: is going to be a game what's over unders forty.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: I would take the under on this game. I see
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: this game potentially being somewhere along the lines of a
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: you know, twenty to thirteen type of a game. Miami
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: played Texas A and m A and m had you know,
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: has a great defense. They I mean, they won the
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: game ten to three, So I think still I go
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: with I mean, I would almost pick Miami. I think
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna pick Miami to win this game. I just
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: really really feel like Malachai Tony is an absolute stud,
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: uh you know, freshman wide receiver. He is out there
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: just absolutely an all purpose tool, almost like a Percy
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: Harvid type of a deal. Dude's thrown for multiple touchdowns,
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: He's ran for multiple touchdowns, He's caught multiple touchdowns. I
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: think he's going to be a star in the league.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: And I think Miami's gonna have to pony up some
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: dollars to keep him, you know, in the fold. But
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: I think that Miami's defense. I think that when you've
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: got Baine on the edge, he is going to put
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: Julian Saying in a lot of conflict. And I think
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: Miami has enough guys to stay with those receivers. You know,
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith, he's the best receiver in college football. Like,
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: I don't think that there's a doubt to that, But
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: I do know that he couldn't get open against Indiana,
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: and that's because the quarterback was under durest the entire game.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: And I think that Miami's defensive line has that opportunity
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: to do that. So I would say, give me Miami
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: in a in a thin, thin, low scoring affair.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Oo taking the Miami upset.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Malachi Tony. Look, Carson Bek has the experience saying, doesn't.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: I love that Ohio State defense, And I think that
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: Carson Bek's gonna give them the ball a lot.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: More than he probably should. Yeah, he has turnover tendencies.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Give me.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: I think I'm probably gonna lean Ohio State to pull
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: it off in a and again a low scoring affair.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: I just I think Ohio State's weapons are, of course
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: better than what Texas A and m had. Even Texas
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: A and m had some ridicus. If those weapons on offense,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I think, say, it's a lot more accurate, he's gonna
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: make better decisions. But Miami's advantage, they do have some experience.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna ride with I'm gonna probably go to
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Hio State by a field goal. I think it's gonna
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: be like a twenty three to twenty type game something
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: like that. I think it's gonna be a lot lower
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: boroughly covering the over under if it even gets that high,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: because after watching Miami and Texas A and M I'm like, yeah,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Miami's defense is.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Very stingy and stout.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: I think that they'll continue their physicality throughout it and
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: make it a problem for others to go over that game.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know why they even showed that one. They're
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Oregon in Texas Tech is so fascinating to me. Twofold one.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: I hate the fact that they're playing at the Orange
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Bowl because if either one of them play for the
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: National Championship, they're going freaking right back to Miami. It's
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: like that annoys me. I hate it with a passion.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: They need to make second rounds at the cribs, and
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: if you do it right, you would have the Natty
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: around this time anyway, then the portal opens and we
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: can actually have a freaking schedule.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: But I digress.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe in Oregon. Just being honest,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe in organ.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: I Jane, I don't know if I believe in either
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: of these teams either.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: That's the other problem, and it's nothing against either.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: I've seen them get to I've seen Orgon get to
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: this point and then they fall apart. I've not seen
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech be any good since Mike Leach was their
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: rips to the pirate. And now you know they figured
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: some stuff out. The quarterbacks is healthy, so we'll see
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: what that looks like. I think this Oregon defense is
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: going to be good enough. I'm probably gonna ride with
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Oregon to win by a touchdown, but I don't know.
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the thing. I think that the Texas Tech
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: defense is a good defense. It's a good defense, and
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: I think the Texas Tech was able to really put
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: it to BYU because bar Backmeier rolled his ankle was
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: really really limited, could not use one of his major
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: assets as a freshman quarterback, and that was his legs.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: They made him stand in the passing and become a
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: passing a pocket quarterback. That's where they were able to
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: continually get after him. Yeah, I don't. I think Oregon
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: has the capability and has the tools. They're always going
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: to have these wide receivers, guys like Troy Franklin that
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: are going to be out there and just be able
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: to go all over the place. They're always going to
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: have a scap back at running back. I always got
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: a good tight end. I think Oregon has enough balance
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: on offense in order for Texas Tech not to be
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: able to tee off on one particular thing. If you're Oregon,
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: I think you got to be able to stay committed
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: to running the ball. Can Dan Lanning get out there
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: and do that? Can you stay committed to running the
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: ball because you get you get that linebacker corps of
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: Texas Tech moving side to side, side to side, side
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: to side like Oregon likes to do, and you've got
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: them right where you want them now. I don't think
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Baron Morton is is dealing with a BYU defense, which
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: is a good defense. Oregon's got a lot of playmakers.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: They've always got great people up the middle. They've got
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: that polypipeline that's always going well for them, and so
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: I think that with Baron Morton, it kind of comes
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: down do I trust Dante More and the Oregon offensive
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: players to put some to keep some balance you know
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: out there. I don't think More is. I don't see
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: the NFL hype that he's getting, Like, I don't think
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: that I as a Broncos fan, and if we had
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: to go draft him, I don't feel super comfortable about that.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: And we got bow Nicks, so that says a lot.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: But hey, hey, heyback just.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: Enough to get by he is like if Tim Tebow
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: actually had any passing acumen, he would be bone X.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: But so.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: It is, It's true, but I would say this, I
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: would say Oregon too. I'm I don't, man, this is
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: another game that I question, you know, could it be
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: a you know, thirty to twenty three type of a
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: game is kind of where I'm feeling. I think Texas
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: Tech will have some opportunities to get out there and
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: go win. They had some circus catches against BYU in
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: the Big twelve championship game that's you know, kind of
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: put them over the top of that. And like I said,
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: you know, they were able to make BYU one dimensional uh,
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: but again not really believing. Oregon has played very many
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: great teams. Texas Tech hasn't either, So how did these
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: two come out and sustain them maybe the first you
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: know half and be able to make some changes and
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: to to go. I think that we might see this
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: might be a situation where you're like a ten seven
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: ten ten first half and then the team that makes
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: the best adjustments wins. But I'll take Oregon.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: I think I'm a ride with Oregon too. I think
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: their defense. I like Dante Moore more than I like
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Baron Morton. That's probably where I'm gonna go ahead and
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: league with Tech's run game isn't like it was with
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Taj Brooks. Tas Rooks stupid because like he was one
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: of my favorite backs in college football last year. Dicky
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: is in a slouch. But Dickie ain't Taj Brooks, who
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: was to me one of the better, if not the
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: best backs last year.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: Oregon is just so all over the place of a team.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: But I mean Dante Mordo, He's accurate, he doesn't make
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: a bunch of mistakes, and they have a massive committee
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: of running backs.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: I think I'm a right with they don't have a
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: go to they don't have a go to offensive weapon,
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: and sometimes that's a detriment, But with Oregon it's always
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: like there's it's the same situation as what you see
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: with with Denver Broncos is they don't have a phenomenal,
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: you know, offensive weapon, but they've got a lot of
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: guys and they're going to bet that they're third best
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: receivers better than your third best defensive back. They're gonna
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: bet that your fourth you know, your fourth option on
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: offense is better than the fourth option your nickel or
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: you know, the linebacker that's going to be running out
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: and coverage. And that's how Oregon has operated. Now this
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: is usually where Dan Lanning falls apart. Also, So I
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: do want to throw that out too, because you went
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: out there, you play it against joke of a competition,
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: and you didn't seem super super interested. So if But
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: like I said, I still don't still don't believe that
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: Texas Tech really really has the full fledged team, and
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: I think that they prayed in for a week.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Big twelve Yep, I'm with that.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: The Corey Moore's back, so I do like that they're
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: getting a lot of their wide receivers back and getting healthier.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: Can't beat that. So I mean Benson was eating last game.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: So okay.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: Well, with that being said, I think it's time to
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: go ahead and wrap up the show because it feels
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: like Coops just being disrespected by the podcast gods. They
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: don't want him to be able to jump in and
• 58:41
