0:55
episode. We're gonna dive into a lot of stuff, but we're really gonna
0:59
center ourselves around I had a few key topics like the Junior Elite Junior Day
1:03
weekend, a lot of players came into town. We'll talk a little bit
1:07
around transfer portal. That's been some things going around and of course we got
1:11
to talk about it. And I also want to wrap it up with we'll
1:15
lead off with Sooner moving into a head coaching rank. So y'all know we
1:19
love to see that, see the Sooners make all those moves or whatnot,
1:23
So hit us up anytime and I'm gonna bring in my guests for the day.
1:26
We got a boy, PG coops out. It's PG joined us PG.
1:30
What's going on? My man? What's going on? How's it going?
1:34
Happy? Uh? What is today? Say Sunday? Ain't it?
1:37
Yeah? It is? Watching the AFC Championship game. Got to see yoa
1:42
with kind of sad. I was hoping Lamar could have pulled it off,
1:45
but of course we have to have a receiver that reaches out for the end
1:48
zone and lose the game. That just sounds like, you know, poetic
1:51
justice. I guess you could say, or whatnot. And so yeah,
1:55
we'll just leave it at that. What's going on, everybody, how's everybody
1:57
doing? Glad to see y'all. Dan, what's up sooner? Legends?
2:00
I might good to see you? Pull up, Jen? What's good?
2:06
Steven? What's going on? Man? Theys for pulling up, Hank always
2:08
in super consistent, my guy, Thanks for pulling up to the channel.
2:13
Kim, what up? Thanks for tuning in as usual, and so PG
2:19
man, I'm gonna go give you the moment. How are you feeling about
2:21
your Chiefs winning? We'll let you have this moment, you know, Okay,
2:24
So I texted my boss last week during the Bills game, and I
2:29
said, I think the Chiefs are gonna lose here, And then all week
2:32
I said, I don't think the Chiefs are gonna beat the Ravens and said
2:37
the Ravens are a really damn good team, so maybe I just need to
2:40
doubt this team and then they'll go win another super Bowl. But you know,
2:46
it looks like Marv or VS. I can't I can't say his full
2:49
name, but MVS here. Yeah, he redeems himself. I saw Caadarius
2:57
Tony's Instagram live and you know what, forget him. He can't catch the
3:00
ball anyways, we'll trade him. I told uh Chance that I would trade
3:07
him in VS and Tony for Diggs since he feels like he needs to go
3:10
get a first round and wide receiver. But you know, I mean,
3:15
I don't think that'd be a bad trade, especially in that aspect of we
3:20
all know that Diggs really ain't very happy. So I mean, if that's
3:23
gonna be the case, you may go. We'll take C. D.
3:25
Lamb too. We'll take Lamb. That's that's that's just disrespectful. I just
3:30
I just want you to imagine a pairing of Patrick Mahoe. I don't I'm
3:35
not gonna imagine that because it's not it's not something that you should imagine.
3:38
I think it's a level of disrespect. And I actually a wally appreciate if
3:40
you watch your mouth while you hear on my show talking about that, that's
3:45
a level of disrespect that I will not take. It won't it won't be
3:49
accepted. PG Like, we won't do this here right, Like, no
3:53
one wants to see lamb in Kansas City with everything else they got going on.
3:57
Listen, I'll take anybody. I'll take, Oh, Marvin Mims,
4:01
I'll take Marquise Brown, I'll take any of those Oklahoma wide receivers. Well,
4:05
I mean, I mean think we all would take them. But the
4:06
thing is, I just don't want you to get them. I just don't
4:09
think it's fair that Patrick Mahons needs more weapons. Last thing he needs is
4:12
more. Right, we're watching this man play, We're watching greatness breakup.
4:15
It's funny. Buddy Mine called me and we're sitting there chatting about it and
4:18
he's like, hey man, He's like, I'm trying to understand me.
4:23
Are we really witnessing greatness right now? I'm just like, hey, man,
4:25
does your eyes work? Are you seeing what I'm seeing today? Mahomes
4:30
is up there right, He's already shown himself as that talented and so yeah,
4:34
I'm a little you know, I'm not upset if Zay Flowers would have
4:40
done followed the Belichickian rule. Belichick has one rule that he used to get
4:44
Patriots player one of the many rules, but one of the big rules for
4:46
him when running, never reach out for the end zone. Never reach out.
4:49
Don't ever reach for the line. Why because what happened happens at the
4:55
worst times. Somebody slaps your arm, you fumble it at the half yard
4:59
line, and then they recover the fun What about the awareness for the Chiefs
5:04
player to go in there and bump that ball out. I mean, it
5:08
made me think about when the Bucks playing against the Eagles and Winfield did that
5:13
exact same thing to one of the Eagles receivers. He slapped that hand right
5:15
there at the end zone as he was reaching, slapped it, ball flies
5:18
right through the back of the end zone. Just loved it. So you
5:25
cannot do that, right, You can't. You can't do the reaching out
5:30
things. I think you'll be successful and told from Sorry, my man,
5:32
I don't want Cowboys fans to have anything because cowboys think. The best thing
5:39
I would love is for the Cowboys to can see you to suffer. And
5:41
that's just because I've always not been a Dallas Cowboys fans. No shade on
5:44
you, my boy. I love you all, but no, I am
5:46
totally excited at the fact that Dallas just keeps fumbling the bag. And it's
5:51
bad, dude, because nobody's the best teams and they just I mean,
5:57
four straight years of twelve and five is always fast to see how it's just
6:00
it always falls a part at the end. And I guess for me it's
6:02
funny too because I'm looking at this Ravens game and the Niners and the tiers
6:06
that I would drop for Baltimore and honestly Buffalo as well. Is that they
6:12
just keep running into m J and his prime. Right. It's literally everything
6:15
you saw from Charles Barkley struggled to Clyde Drexler not getting his ring until MJ
6:20
retired and he was able to play those two seasons. Same thing would allow
6:24
as you on all these great teams, Jazz, I mean, you go
6:28
through Indiana with the Pacers or Reggie Miller, the Knicks, all these teams
6:31
had no chance for going to the NBA Finals in the nineties, all because
6:35
of one dude just holding it back. And if now it feels like that's
6:39
what we're seeing for Patrick Mahomes today. Have you heard the story about how
6:43
the Chiefs got Patrick Mahomes. No, did they realize that they had the
6:47
best player and they said, oh, we're gonna go ahead and go for
6:49
him. No. So actually Matt Nagy tricked the gm into trading up into
7:00
getting Patrick Mahomes because that's pretty funny. They were not sold on Patrick Mahomes
7:05
originally, and so he had to basically trick him into like basically lying saying
7:11
that like Patrick Mahomes had like all of these like intangibles that he really didn't
7:15
have at the combine, and uh, they got him to trade up and
7:20
last minute he got him to sell into buying Patrick Mahomes stock. If you
7:26
go listen like that, there's a documentary out there on it, like or
7:29
something. It was like in a documentary. It's probably in the with that
7:32
Quarterback Show or whatever. Yeah, it was. When I watched it,
7:35
I was like, that is absolutely insane that they almost didn't draft Mahomes.
7:41
Yeah, it was crazy. Yeah, And and it happens a lot.
7:44
Man. You know, it's funny the Ravens, you know, trade up
7:46
and get into the number three, thirty second pick just so they can get
7:48
the five years old Lamar because they saw something a lot of people didn't see.
7:53
And I mean, he keeps leading his team and deep into the playoffs
7:56
and all he's got to do is figure out a way to not face Patrick
7:59
Mahome. And I think he's fine. Like that's when we past. I've
8:01
given to Josh Allen and all of this is that he keeps running in to
8:05
my homes, like, what do you do? I think year is the
8:07
year for another team usually so, uh, the Chiefs go to two and
8:15
then not go So I bet next year they'll go to the AFC Championship game
8:18
and get squandered by somebody. It's just hard. It's just hard to go
8:22
that many times in a row and keep your guys healthy. And I think
8:28
I think next year is gonna be pretty down year. And that's saying a
8:31
lot because this year felt down. Yeah, and we'll just see. With
8:37
the wide receiver room looks like The funny thing is is that his wide receiver
8:39
room's not good. They keep doing what they're doing. So anyway, let's
8:46
talk about some college football, right. I know everybody wants to talk about
8:48
the portal Dudes, we're going to talk about the junior Day. And that's
8:54
the reason why I brought PG on. He has been on fire keeping up
8:58
with the twenty twenty five kids, and he's been one of my key sources
9:03
because he's been chatting with the players themselves and really, like I said,
9:07
keeping a pose on what's going on in twenty twenty five. And so we're
9:09
gonna definitely dive into that, but real quick, I wanted to kind of
9:13
give a shout out. Man before we do that, y'all know what to
9:16
do. Wipe your feet. We got about one hundred people in here.
9:18
We roughly have four likes in this bad boy. Go ahead and hit that
9:22

9:26
I saw a few people went ahead and sub to the channel. Thank you
9:30
so much, Chris. We appreciate you joining as a member. We appreciate
9:33
you too, John, Thank you so much. The man, it's Boomer,
9:37
Boomer Sherpy ninety nine. Be out there. He puts you on the
9:41
twitters. If you want to be part of find out the Sooners, go

9:48
way, you guys can find them on my page. But hit the like,
9:52
hit the subscribe, and make sure you show some love on it.
9:56
But besides that, let's talk about former Sooner offensive lineman Sharon Moore, is
10:03
now the head coach the University of Michigan. First off, I want to
10:07
give an exciting shout out to not only Sharon Moore, but even Jim Harbor,
10:13
who's headed to the NFL once again. You know, some people were
10:16
thinking, oh, he wasn't gonna, you know, stick around. He
10:22
won a championship, so that was the reason why he was getting out of
10:24
there. He don't like the rules, blah blah blah. And I think
10:26
that's preposterous. I think that if you've been paying attention to Jim Harbaugh,
10:31
he's been trying to get back to the NFL for like the last five years.
10:33
It's just the job that he has wanted. Not only has it lined
10:39
up to what he wants, but the teams that he's willing to interview with
10:41
they haven't picked him, which is fascinating in itself, but La Chargers,
10:46
Oh my god, it's a perfect job for him. And so I want
10:50
to shout out Sharon Moore PG when you saw that they went ahead and elevated
10:54
him from OC even though we all know that he could do the job because
10:58
he was the coach in like five games when Barball was suspended on four games
11:01
while Harbaugh was suspended. What do you think about Moore getting that job?
11:05
I thought it was the right higher because Moore is likely going to keep the
11:11
core of that staff together outside of the guys that are going to leave,
11:15
and he's gonna keep a lot of those players there. So you might see
11:18
one or two guys hit the portal from Michigan here in the spring. I
11:24
don't really feel like you're going to see it here in the next thirty days.
11:26
I feel like it's gonna be more so on the spring. But Moore
11:30
is a guy that he's from Derby, Kansas, so he's rooted in this
11:35
area of the country that is really just putting out a lot of talent.
11:39
For for instance, Derby, Kansas is putting out to Sean Brain this year
11:43
who's currently Crystal Ball to end up at Oregon. But I would imagine that
11:48
Sharon Moore is going to try to utilize his roots a little bit more on
11:52
the recruiting trail, and I think you're gonna see Michigan end up in the
11:56
Texas and the Kansas and Oak Wallo Homes's backyard. So I thought this was
12:01
a really good hire. Not to mention, Charill Moore has put out what
12:05
is it to Joe Morrow Award offensive Lines, Like, yeah, last year
12:09
was washing this past season was Washington, but the two years before was Michigan's.
12:15
Yeah, so when you look at you know what this is like,
12:20
they're retaining one of the best offensive line coaches in the country. So I
12:24
think this is a really good hire for Michigan. I do think you're going
12:28
to see Michigan have too much of a drop off. In fact, I
12:31
would guarantee you're probably going to see better quarterback play out of Michigan. I
12:37
can see that, and I think that you'll see a difference in the way
12:39
he play. Now, the only question I have is gonna be who is
12:43
more gonna bring in as this offensive coordinator. And then at that point,
12:46
like you mentioned, my quarterback play. I can totally see where you're going
12:50
with that. The question I ask is is will they really even change their
12:54
formula, because, to be honest, that punch him in the mouth,
12:56
grind, run the ball down your throat, and only throw when you really
13:01
need to work. Well, yeah, the game had shifted from the way
13:09
Alabama played, which is how Michigan plays now back in the twenty tens,
13:13
and then it shifted to a little bit of that air raid offense when Lincoln
13:16
Riley came in. But then I think people found it's really hard to play
13:22
with the super high temple offense and regardless of how good your defense is,
13:26
they're gonna be out there way too much. Yeah, they're gonna play way
13:30
too many steps. So I think people saw that and said, well,
13:33
let's dial back the that high temple offense to still run a high tempo,
13:37
but make it more of a bully ball and when you need to, you
13:43
can create an explosive play, but you're gonna try to pound the line of
13:48
scrimmage and you're gonna play both sides in the trenches really well, and that's
13:52
what's gonna win you the national championship. So I think we were starting to
13:54
see another change in college football to go back to that style a little bit,
14:01
but not to a complete reverse kind of like where Alabama was winning three
14:05
straight national championships. I think they won three straight at that time. No,
14:09
no, nobody's won three. Yeah, but they went to three,
14:13
right they went I think they went to I think did go to three.
14:16
Yeah. Yeah. It was back then, back in that days when they
14:20
had awful quarterback play, but their defenses were absolutely incredible. Think back to
14:24
that what was it, fifteen to nine Alabama LSU championship. No, yeah,
14:30
yeah, that was that was that. We're not going to go back
14:33
that far, but I think we're going to meet somewhere probably in the middle,
14:35
and I think that's where college football is probably going to thrive. And
14:37
I think Sharon Moore is probably going to help kind of lead that way a
14:41
little bit. Yeah. I can see that in that game itself. You
14:43
know, as as you mentioned the ough God, that was an awful game.
14:48
It was uh it was I mean, I get the defensive battle and
14:52
it got a lot of people excited. I had zero interest in the excitement
14:58
of that game, being as slow as it was. It was really really
15:01
such a slow, methodical game. It just was not entertaining to watch them
15:09
just beat up on each other and no one can move the ball offensively,
15:11
and it's everybody's just bad offensively. But yeah, I could totally say that
15:16
going into those old school bullyball and that seems to work like it works,
15:20
especially in the playoffs. It's just my dudes, very sure dudes. Who's
15:24
got the best dudes. Joe's versus pros type deal, and Michigan just went
15:28
out there and just was the most physical team. And I think more will
15:33
keep that going. I think that that's the mindset that he's gonna keep implanting
15:35
in them. I think Michigan keep going, keep it going. Now,
15:39
granted, the biggest thing is they're losing. They're gonna lose a nice chunk
15:41
of players, but I don't think it really makes that much of a I
15:52
don't think it's gonna be that much of a drop off as people expect,
15:54
especially as you mentioned, he's gonna retain a lot more of the players because
15:58
he is staying and you know portal is gonna open. You'll see a few
16:00
players here and there decided Yeah, I'm go ahead and go somewhere else.
16:03
But I think you can hit the nail on the head. I think majority
16:06
of those players are gonna leave, probably in the spring window whenever it happens,
16:10
because school's already started. Most of them are just gonna go ahead and
16:12
get their training in, and then once the spring window hits, you'll probably
16:17
start seeing some shifting because at that point, class is it. And that's
16:18
kind of one of that big the big problems of the transfer portal, on
16:22
top of just college football in general, is that everything is in the window
16:29
of classes and you never have enough weeks to be able to get the portal
16:38
open and let people move around and still be able to hit classes on time,
16:41
but all because the timing is always bad. But anyway, well,
16:47
and I'll say this, I don't think we're going to see as big of
16:49
a drop off with Michigan as people think. Not only people really have paid
16:53
attention a whole lot to their class, which yeah, I get it,
16:57
it was the number nineteen overall class, but it's a very good class.
17:03
They got one of the top offensive tackles in the recruiting class, and Andrew
17:07
Sprague. This was a guy Oklahoma actually pursued pretty hard early on. Then
17:11
they got Jaden Davis. Jaden Davis was a five star quarterback at one point
17:15
until he pretty much just stopped going to camps right then. You know,
17:19
when you stop going to camps, they start paying less attention to you.
17:25
You follow in the rankings. They loaded up on the offensive line, they
17:29
got some decent tit ends. Listen, I think Michigan reloaded. I think
17:34
they're gonna have to go in the portal and probably address a couple needs.
17:37
But I think they're going to figure out what those needs are in the spring,
17:41
and then I don't think we're done seeing Alabama, Arizona, and Washington
17:47
portal additions. I think those are probably gonna happen in the spring when they
17:49
figure out where these new coaches are going to have them on the depth chart.
17:52
So I think Michigan will probably go and take a couple of those.
17:56
I don't think Michigan loses a whole lot of people though, with you there,
18:00
that's a that's a darn good point. And so let's let's uh,
18:03
let's transition from that right into these recruits. Let's talk about this junior day.
18:07
So thank y'all for pulling up hit that like button. So wipe your
18:11
feet. If you're new to the channel, feel free to subscribe. Love
18:14
to have you join us here on the channel. You know, talking ball,
18:18
talking o you football, talking to college football to add to it,
18:22
and of course having a blast do it So PG, it has been an
18:26
interesting, interesting weekend, right we just saw the Elite Junior Day come through.
18:40
All the social media posts has been going down. You've been keeping a
18:42
running list of players announcing that they're gonna come, and a lot of them
18:48
pulled up. So let's talk about some of these top players that we've both
18:52
seen pull up here. First and foremost, the one I think that we've
18:55
got to we've got to talk about. First off, it's gonna be Aona
19:00
Williams, the big linebacker, safety athlete guy out of Galveston, Texas.
19:06
He he pulled up, looked like he was pretty happy about his visit.
19:10
What'd you think about that? Well? I hear he can get out of
19:12
the belly of a well, so if I can get a recruit that can
19:17
do that, I want to know. Jonah Williams had a great time.
19:21
And there's been some rumblings that I know everybody has heard the rumors of an
19:26
offensive guy locking it up. I've heard rumors that there's a defensive guy.
19:32
I'm still trying to figure out exactly who that is. I don't think it's
19:37
Jonah Williams. But Jonah Williams has been very high on Oklahoma for a while.
19:41
You know, even before a lot of programs around the country were really
19:45
paying attention to Joonah Williams, Jonah Williams was sporting Oklahoma here. So if
19:51
you're an Oklahoma fan, yeah, I know you watched the A and MS
19:55
and schools like that because he's from Texas in that record, But Jonah Williams,
20:02
if I had to pick today, I'm saying it's in Oklahoma. W
20:06
Like everything that he does points to Norman being his destination. And you've got
20:11
Brandon Hall on the case here, and Brandon Hall has proven to be a
20:15
very good recruiter for US. You know, He's landed Jayden Hardy, he's
20:19
landed Peyton Bowen and and I think Jayden Hardy is going to be one of
20:23
Oklahoma's best safeties. So yeah, I'm really liking Oklahoma's chances here with Jayden
20:29
or with Jonah Williams. Yeah, He's he's that one player and as it
20:33
was mentioned in the in the chat by our boys O for, it's one
20:37
of those players that you do whatever it takes to get that young man to
20:41
pull up and be here. And like you said, he came in,
20:42
he looked ecided, Oh he's gonna play cheetah. I know a lot of
20:48
people are kind of going back and forth. Oh he'll be a safety,
20:49
Oh he'll be a linebacker. No, this dude gonna be a cheetah.
20:52
Like he is that talented. He's a freak athlete. Uh and you don't
20:57
get too many guys I think that can play the safety position that well,
21:03
but can also come up and play at that linebacker position. So right,
21:07
he's he's freakishly when it comes to being athletic too. I mean he's six
21:11
' three. I think he's listed at about two hundred pounds right now,
21:12
and he's probably a lot more. He's probably more than that. He's one
21:15
of those players that can play he's I mean, he's an athlete. He's
21:19
listed as an athlete for a reason. That's just how talented the kid is.
21:23
And like you said, he looked like he enjoyed his visit here at
21:26
Oklahoma. You can tell that he was happy to be in town, you
21:30
know, announced that he was here, and based upon the reports, yeah,
21:34
a boy is gonna probably be one of those that you can be like,
21:37
oh okay, yeah, so we were gonna do this, We're gonna
21:41
win this, And here's why you want him, and here's why he's a
21:42
five star. He had a four five forty. His max on the bench
21:48
is two twenty five. He had six reps of one hundred and eighty five
21:52
pounds. This one hundred meters dash was eleven to five. He can deadlift
21:55
three ninety five like this dude squatting three fifteen. Like, yeah, I
22:00
want this dude all day long exactly. So all right, let's look into
22:03
some of the players I don't know you had, uh you've talked to and
22:06
had some good conversation with. We've got we got our boy Blaylock, right,
22:11
we've got Tory Blaylock, the son of Derek Blaylock. His dad here
22:17
just posted this on the social media's of the picture from his son being here
22:22
hanging out with us and this running back. Yeah, man, I think
22:26
DeMarco Murray might be hitting another home run out there like he always does.
22:30
PG. I know you've chatted up with him. Talk to me, what
22:33
what you're hearing about him? Yeah, I mean Blaylock wants to have his
22:40
recruitment wrapped up by the beginning of the season. That's what I was told.
22:45
Now, there's obviously a big window between now and the beginning of the
22:51
football season, So I think I have a hard time with saying that he's
22:59
gonna commit week. And here's why. You have one scholarship spot in that
23:03
room, presumer You know, obviously the spring could hit Oklahoma, you could
23:07
lose somebody in that running back room. Presumptions, you only have one scholarship
23:12
spot. Do you go ahead and lock up that spot now, or do
23:17
you tell them we're going to keep you as a silent and then DeMarco Murray
23:22
gets some of these other running backs in the room and make his final decisions.
23:26
Because you had Michael Turner, you had Damarius Robinson, you had Tory
23:30
Blaylock on campus. I think you maybe want to see Riley Wormley one more
23:34
time, although I kind of believe that one's going more Organ's direction, kind
23:40
of like the DeShawn Brain recruitment. I mean, if you get Tory Blaylock,
23:45
I don't think you're really complaining though. I mean, the dude can
23:48
catch the ball out of the backfield. He's very good at running finding those
23:52
gaps. So yeah, I mean, if you're an Oklahoma fan, like
23:56
you're seeing all the predictions flowing through, there's a reason why the staff feels
24:00
really good. Like if you talk to anybody around Blaylock's camp, like the
24:06
hopes have been really high on Oklahoma before that. You just kind of wanted
24:10
to see how Junior Day went. And I was actually under the impression Michael
24:14
Turner would be the running back to pull his to pull the trigger early,
24:18
because he's been here as well multiple times. He's a running back that the
24:22
staff's high on. But Tory Blaylock looks like he might be the guy to
24:25
get to it first. Yeah, and if he pulls that trigger, because
24:29
Turner didn't make it out here like we anticipated, but yeah, if he
24:34
pulls the trigger, that room is gonna be fun. We'll just say that
24:41
on the players that we've got coming in. All right, we had another
24:44
five start. I did pull up. You mean Tory is a four star
24:45
running back. He's the one that's been getting a lot of crystal balls over
24:48
the last you know, twelve hours of a player that we think is gonna
24:52
be pulling up. But you also had another five star that showed up in
24:56
Caleb Cunningham, the sixty three wide receiver out of Mississippi. Now, I
24:59
remember seeing a prediction go in for him to Mississippi State, like basically Jeff
25:04
Levy continuing his recruiting of you know players, He he he threw his hands
25:10
out there to say, hey, what's good? Can we are we possible
25:14
in getting him? I'm looking at Caleb as a player. I'm like,
25:17
he's an athlete that you gotta get your hands on right and I know what's
25:19
gonna be tough getting him from to leave his home state. But how are
25:26
you feeling around Caleb? And what's the rumbles you've seeing and hearing about him?
25:30
Right now? It's a it's a five star wide receiver recruitment, and
25:36
I would be one hundred percent shocked if he ends up in this class.
25:41
But he got some big announcement tomorrow and supposedly he was on campus longer.
25:48
I was talking to one of the guys on the defensive side of the ball
25:52
for the recruits that was on campus a little bit later as well, than
25:56
everybody else. So he was kind of giving me the scoop a back,
25:59
Caleb Cunningham telling me about that. But uh, I would be really shocked.
26:03
I mean it's just Oh misses around in that recruitment and you know Ole
26:07
miss likes to throw around the money. They ain't hiding it. Uh,
26:11
you know, Lane Kiffin's there, and I mean what it wouldn't shock me
26:15
to see Lane Kiffin, you know, have some recruiting violations come up in
26:18
the next couple of years, right because you know, he's just that kind
26:21
of person where he's gonna go around and he's gonna you know, he's gonna
26:26
he's gonna push, he's gonna test the waters a little bit. But this
26:29
dude, you're right, he's an absolute dynamic athlete. He plays basketball,
26:33
track and field. He's a mismatch for anybody on the field. Uh.
26:37
He incredible at running after the catch. So yeah, I mean, like
26:41
I'm sure Emmitt Jones made a pitch to him that was pretty compelling. I
26:45
mean, Emma Jones being one of the best wide receiver coaches in college football,
26:49
definitely one of the better recruiters in college football right now. I mean,
26:55
you're probably not putting all your chips in the basket for ism Mosey at
26:59
this point. Yeah, I mean you're looking at your wide receiver targets of
27:03
Ja Kayden, Ferguson, Emmanuel Choice, Isaiah Moz and now Caleb Cunningham.
27:08
Like I mean, Emma Jones, is he's in a good spot right now.
27:14
I want to be in his position as a recruiter, like, oh,
27:17
I want to have a five star on campus that stays longer, one
27:21
that not a lot of people, including myself, expected you to potentially have
27:25
a shot for, to now all of a sudden have a shot for.
27:27
I mean, yeah, I think that's what jumped out to me too,
27:30
is that he was one of those players that we were trying to figure out,
27:33
is he is he a player that we really think Oklahoma's a chance at
27:37
And you get him here and he sticks around for a little bit and you're
27:40
just like, oh, we're so you you actually enjoyed. And we all
27:44
know that Emma Jones is a master when it comes to recruiting. He's proven
27:47
himself at what he's done in at wide receiver room. As I've mentioned before,
27:51
that receiver room was the room that we questioned the most. Going into
27:52
the season, we had so many young players. We didn't know what it
27:56
looked like. And in Boom, you've got dooms. You're like, oh
27:57
wait, no, these guys can ball. And Emmett Jones knows what he
28:03
is doing. And that's the one thing that really gets me excited is that
28:07
we've got a team. We got a coach that people respect out there in
28:11
the recruiting trail. And so, I mean you mentioned another one that also
28:17
jumped out to me too. I'm glad you said it, Manny Choice.
28:19
Mm hmm. Yeah, he was there this weekend and seemed like he had
28:22
a really good time. I wouldn't say this would be Oklahoma's choice, like
28:30
number one choice in terms of a guy you'd go out there and grab somebody
28:36
that I'm really high on Zach I feel like, did you take Yeah,
28:38
I mean he's one that you take. But somebody that I'm really high on
28:41
that a lot of people aren't paying attention to is Ja Kaden Ferguson. Okay,
28:45
Like that is a guy that I would take over Emmanuel Choice. I
28:51
definite wouldn't. I wouldn't take him over Caleb Cunningham, but I would I
28:53
would take him over emmanual choice again. I think this is going to come
28:57
down to who commits. There's only one spot left. And I mean at
29:03
this point it's like if Caleb Cunningham wants to commit. Yeah, I mean,
29:07
and you've already got the spots filled, you probably take him and you
29:11
can process somebody out. But I mean, at this at the end of
29:15
the day, I want to put the pressure on him and I want to
29:17
say, listen, I got one spot left. I don't care if you're
29:18
a five star or not. I want you to hop on board right away.
29:22
No, that's a good point. And I think if you get and
29:25
honestly processing game may not even need to. You may actually have some extra
29:27
space. If we get Nick Anderson out there cooking like we should, I
29:30
mean, he's draft eligible, you know, so he gonna be a first
29:34
rounder if he really continues to if he puts up what he did this season
29:40
like he did last year, dude's probably gonna be a Day one or early
29:45
day to draft pick easily. And so if you get him late in the
29:48
first all gotta give him a thousand yards. He has a thousand yards this
29:52
year. Team they'll be like, yep, we'll take him. Now,
29:53
he's got all of it. He's got the route running ability, he's got
29:56
the intelligibles you're looking for from a person in that position. And yeah,
30:00
they may actually, like I said, open up an additional spot because we'll
30:03
lose that receiver. Andrew Anthony, he has another year. Well, Jeli
30:07
Frue's definitely gonna be probably be gone. I think this is last year.
30:11
But him Andrew Anthony, if he shows out, he's done as well as
30:15
you know Nick So, I mean, that's three wide receivers that's most likely
30:18
gone from there. Well, and you're gonna have the Purdue transfer. Well,
30:22
it's like he didn't go to the draft this year. That's fair,
30:26
I mean, and I think that depends on the numbers he put up.
30:29
So there's a chance out of those four names that we just put out there,
30:32
three of them, three of them could potentially end up putting themselves their
30:34
names into the to the league. Right, that's huge. Yeah, I
30:40
mean, and then you got Jayden Gibson. Right, you need to see
30:42
what he's gonna be able to do, because I mean, he's your wildcard.
30:45
He's a wildcard, and what you're gonna get out of him, but
30:48
many choice. Man, I like, I like the size you get out
30:52
of him. He's what six four six five, about two hundred pounds,
30:56
and that's like actual size and weight. So that's just another big win on
31:00
the Ibbit Jones piece. And so it's funny because let's let's talk a little
31:04
bit more about who all pulled up here. I had a few people,
31:11
you know, kind of pointing out a couple of these things, and PG
31:14
I think this is something for us to definitely talk about. Is if you
31:17
look at this junior day, it was very heavy on one thing, defenders,
31:25
right. You saw majority of those players on there. You saw corners,
31:27
safeties, linebackers, d linemen, you saw d ns and athletes that
31:33
can mainly play on the defensive side of the ball. So a lot of
31:37
people was pointing out, Hey, these lists that are coming out from all
31:40
these sites, the list that mean you compiled, there's not a lot of
31:44
offensive linemen on there, and why is that? And so like, for
31:48
example, your boy FASUZI decided that he wasn't going to make a visit and
31:52
some people were freaking out, and I pointed this out to him. Hey,
31:56
he already stated in an article for those that he but we're recruiting.
32:00
And I say this to anybody on here, if you don't keep it up
32:04
with it religiously like I do, PG do when some other fans do,
32:07
make sure you do your research before you know, losing your mind about certain
32:12
things. Because Michael Fasuzi said that he wasn't revisiting places he's already been.
32:16
He's been to Oklahoma how many times PG, Oh like six seven times?
32:23
Right, And the thing is, he's got to go around and he's got
32:25
to see the new lan He's got to he's gotta go around and see the
32:29
landscape because there's a lot of hype and I know a lot of people are
32:31
freaking out about the Missouri stuff. And I I even dove into the Missouri
32:36
thing with him because I was like, listen, like you spoke really highly
32:38
about them, like I need to know what then, what they're doing up
32:40
there, And I mean, really, it's just you know, they've just
32:44
got a guy that really can have a good relationship, Like he's really good
32:47
at building that. So I mean, I if you're an Oklahoma fan,
32:52
you shouldn't really worry that much about Michael FUSSUSI. Like he's got a really
32:58
good relationship with Bill Beatingbo. He's been here a lot, He's got themates
33:00
here like and that's the key thing I wanted to point out is that he's
33:06
one of those players that been here a lot. So it's like, I
33:13
want to go see what else is going on out in college football. I
33:15
want to get all my visits in because y'all know the Venables has the rule.
33:22
You know, once you commit, there's no reason for you to be
33:23
going out, you know and do additional you know, visits and stuff,
33:27
doing official visits anywhere else. Go ahead and commit, be committed, and
33:30
be done, you know, go see college football. You know, some
33:34
kids end up going to games here and there with friends, uh, but
33:37
a lot of them have conversations with the team and point out, you know,
33:39
hey, I'm just gonna go to the game with some friends. I'm
33:43
not there on a visit quote unquote. So if that's the case, you
33:47
should expect dudes to get their visits in before the This is the reason why
33:52
July is when we see all most if not all, of our commitments,
33:55
right, this is why that is our commitment season is July. Like this
34:00
year, we lucked out because I'm gonna be honest. I honestly think that
34:05
the reason why we have a lot of we had a lot of commitments for
34:10
the twenty five class was because people were wondering what the rules change was gonna
34:15
be on scholarships, because before the scholarship rule was the limit was twenty five.
34:23
You ain't getting no more than twenty five per class. Well, they
34:27
removed it. That limit was removed because of COVID and the opening of the
34:32
transfer portal, and now it's gone. You can recruit up to eighty five
34:37
players if you want to, because they are gonna take up your eighty five
34:40
roster spots now that that's the case. Those early commitments was probably because they
34:47
thought the rules were going to change back because the ruling adn't happened yet,
34:51
and they wanted to make sure that they got themselves a spot. Now at
34:55
this point, you know, you're probably gonna see some dudes decide to wait
34:58
before they do it. Not crazy, Yeah, I mean, I think
35:01
that might be a part of it. I also think the transfer portal plays
35:05
a huge factor because I think a lot of these recruits start to see,
35:09
you know, Oklahoma get absolute dudes out of the portal, right, or
35:14
you see, you know, guys that have only played one year and they're
35:17
going to a place and now you know, another school's getting three years of
35:20
eligibility out of a guy that's produced. Like, I think they're starting to
35:22
see spots fill up out of the portal and they start to say, well,
35:28
I know I want to be at Oklahoma. Yeah, Like I would
35:30
love to go see some scenery, but I want to go be at Oklahoma,
35:32
and I don't want to I want to make sure that my wide receiver
35:36
spot isn't given to a guy with two or three years of eligibility out of
35:39
the portal. So I think you're gonna see a little bit of that as
35:42
well. Now, a guy like FASUSI, you know, I hate to
35:47
say this, and I know people aren't going to like this. He's a
35:52
five star offensive lineman and it's gonna be the same thing for defensive linemen.
35:55
Like, at this point, you're gonna go visit all of the elite schools
36:00
that you know can develop you, and you're gonna go figure out because it's
36:04
not at that point, it's not about development you like, you know you're
36:07
getting You've got some of the best offers from across the country by some of
36:12
the best developers. So development, let's take that off the table. You're
36:15
gonna get that at Oregon, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma. You're gonna get
36:20
it because like it or not, Texas is producing a good offensive line right
36:24
now. They're development. At this point, it's gonna come down to where
36:30
do you feel home is right? So where do you feel the most comfortable.
36:34
Who's got the best facilities? Because, believe it or not, recruits
36:37
actually go into places and say, hey, if I get hurt, how
36:42
quickly can you get me back on the field and I be one hundred percent
36:45
healthy? Talk to multiple recruits where that is outside of development their number one
36:50
priority. And then also, yeah, you're gonna want to see the inn
36:52
i ol money right right, You're gonna want to see what kind offers you
36:57
can get, especially if you're a recruit and you're hearing that, hey,
37:00
this school's throwing out this much money, why not go? Why not go
37:05
test the waters? So, believe it or not, like it or not,
37:08
that's how the landscape is. You're probably gonna see three stars, maybe
37:14
some low tier four star guys commit early, try to lock up their spots.
37:17
Five star guys, you're gonna see them drag it out a little bit
37:21
longer because hey, there will always be a spot for them, right and
37:24
then as that's the problem really is, is that that's just the game right
37:29
there, right those guys have they're five stars, right, So when you're
37:34
a five star, you're so coveted, you're offensive lineman, you're super coveted.
37:38
It's gonna be work no matter what you do in the whole process of
37:45
commitment and conversation and stuff. But let's dive into the defensive side of the
37:47
ball, because PG, we had some pretty nice defensive players and I know
37:55
one that you was pretty excited about that. You've you've been you've been throwing
38:01
your name in the hat for on a couple of players. One of them
38:05
is gonna be on the D line. I know everybody's talk D line.
38:07
We'll talk D line, will work up the linebackers, and we'll finish up
38:09
with a cornerback that I cannot wait to make a video on and really talk
38:15
about. Let's talk D line. Here's your boy here, landing rink out
38:22
of what was that sci fair down there in the Houston area. Yep,
38:27
Yeah, his kids something something different. I mean when you when you look
38:31
at the measurables on him, he's sitting at what Oh he is a sixty
38:37
two two seventy, so he's not the tallest guy in the world. Obviously,
38:42
to be interior, he needs to put on a little weight. Oh
38:45
he will, You're not, You're not really too worried about that. Here's
38:47
my thing, six seventy going into your senior year in high school, he'll
38:52
add about fifteen pounds a year because he's about that side. He's got the
38:57
frame to be a big boy that's disruptive. And watching his film, I'm
39:00
just like, oh, yeah, he's disruptive. He's like, he calls
39:07
problems. He's a dude. He gets off good. He is a dude.
39:12
And so when I look at him and I see him here with h
39:16
with baits, I'm like, Okay, they're going after the real ones.
39:21
Talk to me about him, because, like I said, you've been high
39:23
on him, high on this four star. You've been you know, talking
39:27
through the trying to potentially put out some predictions on this cat. What you're
39:31
feeling about him. Yeah, So actually I'll give you all little nugget.
39:36
I am putting in a prediction for him. I just haven't had a chance
39:37
to make the graphic. I'll be making a video and putting that out later
39:40
this week discussing why but no, I understand a lot of people are having
39:45
a hard time getting over how his dad was a former Texas defensive lineman from
39:52
nineteen ninety one to nineteen ninety five. I get it. A lot of
39:54
people are having a hard time getting over that. Here's the deal though,
39:58
the relationship with Texas, it's just not there, guys, like it was
40:02
kind of there with Bo Davis. For those of y'all are in the discord,
40:07
you guys know my take on that. So join Jay's discord so that
40:10
you can kind of get the scoop there. But listen, I think Oklahoma
40:17
in terms of the relationship the Todd Bates has with Land and rink with how
40:21
many times he has been to Oklahoma. Remember, Oklahoma is not close to
40:27
him. He's down there in the Houston area. That is an eight hour
40:30
drive. That is an eight hour drive. I've made it many times to
40:32
go on a cruise. It's not an easy drive. Is a boring drive.
40:37
He's been to Oklahoma multiple times, numerous times. I'm trying to pull
40:40
up the exact number. I think it's let's see here now, five times.
40:45
He's been to Texas nine. Texas is right down the road, A
40:50
and M right down the road. He's been there three times. Right,
40:52
you expect all those Texas schools to get visits. It's been to Oklahoma five
40:54
times. And every time I talk to him, and I talked to him
40:58
about the Todd Bates relationship, tells me every time it's the best relationship I
41:01
have Todd Bates. I love that dude, and Land and Rink got to
41:07
spend a lot of time with other guys that were really high on Oklahoma that
41:13
are currently in this class that you expect to be there. Hence a Kobe
41:16
Sellers. So you know, I asked him about the visit and he says,
41:21
you know, what really stood out was the family environment, which again
41:24
that's not a shock. We've talked about that a couple of times. He
41:27
says, I have a great relationship with Kobe Bates. I want it to
41:30
be done. I want to be done with my recruitment around official visit time.
41:34
But in talking about takes Texas, A and M and Texas visits,
41:37
these were the exact words I got. They're both great programs. I think
41:40
they're going to be very competitive next year. That's all you can ever get
41:45
out of him. That's about all you can ever get when it comes to
41:46
Texas and Texas A and M SO. I understand a lot of people were
41:51
burned by the Colton vassk, but guys landon rink, I think he's a
41:55
different guy. I think he's a different dude. I think y'all should be
41:59
excited if we land him. This is a guy that's I think gonna be
42:01
a top two hundred player when it's all sudden done. And I'll say this
42:07
though, like like no, no, no beef, you know, no,
42:10
no shade to anything, you know as you say what you say.
42:15
Though, I'm still on the side of caution in its entire situation, because
42:21
until the ink is dry and the pen is he signs on the line which
42:25
has dotted, I'm not gonna sit here pretend like I'm actually sold on the
42:30
idea of him being a sooner. It ain't nothing on him. I just
42:32
got to see it, especially being a legacy from Texas, which is a
42:36
fascinating When somebody mentioned that, you know it was probably popped in here on
42:39
that one. Nick. Yeah, he is a Texas legacy and so that's
42:43
one of those players you asked the question of Okay, what was it looked
42:47
like? But the good thing in our favor is, you know, Texas
42:51
has some changes on the line, right Bo Davis is gone. He's at
42:53
LSU. Hence why our boy Unfortunately, Donald McKinley is probably signing there in
42:59
February in two weeks because Bo Davis bounced out and he's there. So now
43:04
we got that. It's kind of like, dang, you either love him
43:07
or you hate him. You either love him or you hate him when he
43:09
comes to Bodavis. But I'll say this and the reason why I don't think
43:14
Texas is going to heavily pursue Land and Rink. They've got a lot of
43:16
other options that they really like, like a Zion Williams out of Lufkin Texas.
43:22
Actually they're actually pursuing Xavier Ukponu pretty hard. Who is a guy out
43:27
of Dtton Geyer played with Jackson, Arnold, Eli Bowen, Peyton Bowen.
43:31
It's a guy I would love to see Oklahoma go after they're in the recruitment
43:35
for Ethan Utley, DJ Sanders out of Belleville, Texas, Like they actually
43:39
have some higher targets that are higher up on the totem pole in terms of
43:44
rankings and class that they're gonna go after that. I think Oklahoma's gonna silently
43:50
come in and sneak in and grab Land and Rink who might be more of
43:52
a hidden gym, and Texas might try to go after the guys like in
43:58
their own state that are a little bit more high. I mean, they've
44:00
already got Lance Jackson committed on the defensive line, so I'm not too worried
44:06
about it. I'm not too worried about the legacy thing coming into a fact.
44:08
I think a lot of people are looking too much into that. There's
44:13
another one on this list right here that we're looking at. We've got our
44:15
guy, Max Granville. I think he's another one that jumped out to me.
44:21
I mean, the big head sixty three two o five now, but
44:24
you can see you in the picture right here. His frame looks like he
44:27
can add in another another forty to fifty pounds, no problem of just muscle
44:32
and run dudes down right. I know that Oklahoma is very high on the
44:37
kid, and he's not one of those players that I take likely as far
44:43
as his skill set goes, right, you know, I'm gonna share a
44:45
little bit of I've pulled up some of his film because I thought it would
44:47
be a good idea to watch him play, especially since he's got it on
44:51
Twitter that dude is a motor. He don't stop right. I've been watching
44:58
some of his films, like the last few. I've been hearing his name,
45:01
especially in the last year, as a player that Oklahoma has been heavingly
45:05
in pursuit of and looks like someone that has is really considering Oklahoma. So
45:08
I was like, Okay, go see what he looks like PG. Yeah,
45:13
man, I like what I see. What you think about Grandville and
45:16
how you feel about Oklahoma's chance of landing him? Oh, I think I
45:21
think he's in Oklahoma's bag. In fact, I think this is a guy
45:24
that's probably already silent committed and we just don't know it yet. He's actually
45:29
got uh. I think there's a couple of other insiders I shall not name
45:35
that I have predictions in for him. You got Sam Spiegelman and Josh mccuishon
45:38
also have predictions in for him. So Oklahoma's Miguel Chevis. They've been heavily
45:45
predicted. Now here's the other thing. Miguel Chaevis doesn't have to go after
45:49
a ton of guys this cycle. Like he's got a very good young defensive
45:55
end room, so which is good. Yeah, So like he can go
45:59
all in on the guys that he wants, and Max Granville is one of
46:01
those guys. You go, look at what he's been able to do at
46:06
the high school level. Thirty two and a half sacks, nine forced fumbles,
46:09
six fumble recoveries, forty four tackles for lost, one hundred and sixty
46:14
total tackles. Like, Yeah, this is a dude you want on your
46:17
team, and I think Oklahoma's getting getting get him. He was actually one
46:22
of the guys that hung out with Kobe Sellers and Land and Rink throughout the
46:25
visits, and you spent a lot of time with them. So I do
46:30
think you probably land Max Granville at this point. He's been to Oklahoma like
46:34
four or five times. I think at this point I can see that.
46:37
Tanya, thank you so much for the donation, the five bucks. We
46:42
appreciate the love. We really appreciate it. Thank you always for showing love
46:46
and coming by Reggie Powers Junior is in here, shut up? What up?
46:51
Reggie? This dude, Hey man, I didn't heard the numbers of
46:54
this dude, didn't camp Were gonna talk about that on the others, but
47:00
we don't talk about it. This is this is a player that John need
47:02
to make. You gotta pay attention to. But no watching his film.
47:06
Yeah, I'm I'm hardcore sold on what we're what we could particially get out
47:10
of. He's just explosive, He's strong, he has no I mean,
47:15
when you go watch this film, he can easily move offensive lineman out of
47:19
the way right, which which tells you the kind of strength that he has
47:22
and being able to be as explosive as he is. Let's say he adds
47:25
fifteen more pounds and doesn't lose that explosiveness, doesn't lose the speed that he
47:30
has. My god, this guy is going to be an absolute monster on
47:34
the defensive line for Oklahoma. So it's true. A second coke, mister
47:38
Powers, You're right, I forgot Reggie is the third. Your kid is
47:42
a monster, and uh yeah, we're gonna talk about thank you, my
47:47
bab I forgot you. He is the third anyway. Yeah, all right,
47:51
next kid, next kid throw, next kid throw real top, next
47:53
kid, throw this one. Christian Jones moves a linebacker spot right at the
47:58
Nebraska sixty three to two twenty is what he's listed at. And I know
48:01
that I've been seeing some reports. Man, Oklahoma is high on them and
48:07
they're working them. Actually, will phone drop the article today. It's like
48:13
it's free to everybody. Actually one of the VIP's and taught by some of
48:15
the experience, And it sounds like Christian Jones really enjoyed himself on his visit.
48:22
I know that you've been trying to get communication with them PG. I
48:25
think he's one of those players that, man, he could be a game
48:29
change and in coach Ali is already out there making an impact. Man,
48:32
it sounds like he's being influential to some of these recruits. Yeah. Now,
48:37
yeah, he's coming on the pod. We're trying to work out the
48:39
details. So we're gonna get him on to because I wanted to get a
48:45
linebacker on for you all to specifically talk about zach Alli and so you guys
48:51
can get a feel for who he is because he's so new and we haven't
48:54
really been able to see what he's done on the recruiting trail, so this
48:58
was a good one. Now, Christian Jones, he doesn't want to commit
49:00
anywhere until the end of his senior season. He wants to go through the
49:06
process. He wants to see all of these teams in action. So I
49:12
I don't think we're gonna see a commitment from Christian Jones for a while.
49:15
If we do see one, it would really shock me. But he had
49:17
a great meeting with Britain Venables. Again, zach Ally was kind of introduced
49:22
into this recruitment a little bit, and you know, he really liked how
49:25
OHU makes an emphasis on developing you into an in his words, an elite
49:32
man and help you guide you through your life and impact the world. So
49:36
he loves the sole mission. He loves the just the roots of what Oklahoma
49:39
is about, which is what you hear a lot of recruits and recruits parents
49:44
say about Oklahoma, right that sole mission and what these uh like, what
49:50
the staff does to develop the kids just outside of football, Like that's a
49:54
huge emphasis with some of these recruits. So Christian Jones high on Oklahoma,
50:00
but don't expect this recruitment to end anytime soon. And that's what I anticipate
50:05
that it's gonna be some time to really seal the deal on this one.
50:09
And that's the beauty of recruiting. Man, he can be high on somebody
50:14
one day and down on him the next day. But he might be a
50:16
five star though, like he might end up as a five star linebacker.
50:21
You think he can push up there to the top. I mean, I
50:22
know he's one hundred and twentieth in the country right now at nationally and he's
50:27
the fifteenth ranked the linebacker on two four seven's composite. So if he can
50:32
make some leaps up from that, yeah, I can totally see it.
50:36
But we got to see what those changes will be once the season starts or
50:39
the way he camps. The question is if he goes to enough camps and
50:43
gets enough evaluations, I could totally see it, but that's usually the hard
50:46
part. Yeah, yeah, no, And you know he's in Nebraska,
50:52
Omaha, Nebraska, so it's not like these camps are close to him.
50:55
He'll have to travel down a little bit. But I mean, all he's
50:58
got to do is continue to put up the numbers that he's been putting up.
51:01
Yeah. No, and he's the linebacker that we would love to have
51:05
this class. I think I anticipate we'll get two to three linebackers. I
51:09
mean, we're gonna start seeing some players, uh, you know, move
51:13
move up and move out and do some things. So this is kind of
51:16
that point where we need to get ready to start restocking. But luckily we're
51:20
a young team. I like to preach that to y'all because I don't get
51:23
it. Not people don't get it. Yeah, very young yet the ball.
51:30
Yeah, if you put a gun to my head and ask me what
51:31
linebackers Oklahoma, probably Lands, and you said you'll only get two picks,
51:37
I would look at Christian Jones and probably Doci Merritt, who's out of Blue
51:40
Valley in Stillwell, Kansas. Okay, yeah, Oland Park area and not
51:45
too bad. Okay, Okay, that's a good point. All right,
51:51
move back into the the to the to the to that corner position. Right,
51:54
We've got somebody pulling up that's appearing to be excited. Kobe Sellers,
52:04
right, PG, you've already put out a tweet on it. Five eleven
52:07
one, roughly one seventy corner out of Uppeerland, Texas Peers that he loves
52:15
Oklahoma to the point that we're seeing a whole bunch of crystal balls fly down
52:21
the line with what you're thinking about, mister Seller's here. Shoot, I've
52:23
had my crystal ball in for Kobe since like it's been a while. Member,
52:29
Like it's been a long time. Kobe loves Oklahoma. Now, this
52:34
has been in Oklahoma Texas battle for a while. Texas A and M has
52:37
been kind of creeping in there a little bit. But I mean the foothold
52:40
of JAVELI has on this recruitment with Kobe. I really don't expect this recruitment
52:46
to last too much longer. I think by springball, he's gonna be a
52:51
sinner like I. He's just he talks so highly of Oklahoma every single time.
52:57
You know, he's up here all the time, Like I don't think
52:59
people realize many times he's been to Oklahoma, so and he knows. Like
53:05
here's the deal. When a recruit and you are kind of talking about the
53:08
silent commit and they know who's silent committed and they're excited about it, I
53:13
think that kind of gives it away right right. And the thing about him
53:15
that I noticed too with him is in watching his film, he played quarterback,
53:22
he played you know, he's all around athlete. He's going to play
53:24
corner in the college game, but he can read holes. He does great
53:29
on the return game, and when he's playing corner, he likes to hit
53:32
like that was one thing. You know, I've talked about this with a
53:35
lot of the recruits that we've gone after over the last few years, is
53:37
that you know, you know Soclahoma's gonna have to do is it like to
53:39
hit people? Right? Ones that like the level folks talk about Reggie Third,
53:44
right, I mean, he has a whole highlight film of him just
53:47
hitting folks. Yeah, that is just that's just I guess I get a
53:52
little emotional thinking about it. Dog he be sick a guy that you have
53:55
to put on special teams too, right, Yeah, I mean, yeah,
53:59
he could be a return and you don't have to have much fear of
54:01
him getting hurt because it's kind of his get his bag is doing that.
54:05
And so I know that's the thing that makes me nervous. And I mean
54:07
that's why you don't see Billy Bowman really back through or Peyton Bowen as much
54:13
as because the fear of injury. You don't want anybody get hurt, because
54:17
I totally get that. That's that's kind of the thing that that that that's
54:20
unnerving when it when it comes to having those players out there in the return
54:29
game is you don't the last thing you need is something is one of your
54:31
key players getting hurt and you're gonna be sitting there just like, uh,
54:35
yeah we lost the top guy that that that that that hurts. But I
54:40
mean if you get enough of them, oh yeah, he started throwing dudes
54:44
out there, especially if you've got some coverage behind him. And I think
54:45
Kobe's one of those players that could give you coverage not only in the secondary,
54:51
but also give you another person that could do those returns. I mean,
54:54
he's gonna four to four forty laser time. Oh he's fast. But
55:00
and this is the thing a lot of people need to understand too. So
55:05
you're about to see a different change in how Oklahoma recruits and plays players.
55:09
So the past couple of years you've had to see BEV and the staff play
55:14
young guys because the talent just really hasn't been there. I think starting with
55:17
this twenty twenty five class, this is going to be the class that you
55:21
start to see them kind of sit a year, You kind of let some
55:23
guys finish out their time, and then after a year of experience, they
55:29
come in and they start to take over. Right, yep, you can
55:32
really start developing at this point. This is the point where developing is really
55:37
some of the things you can do, and that that's huge. Remember the
55:42
way that these teams, this team is trying to be built, the way
55:44
Oklahoma is trying to do things, is we want to live in the recruiting
55:47
world and use the portal like Georgia does and just patch work certain players in
55:53
that you can that you probably need additional guy there like you don't. You
56:00
don't want to live in the portal too much because nothing has proven to us
56:05
that that is their success there. We haven't seen any national championships come from
56:10
a team that's built off of the transfer portal, and so until you really
56:15
see that that flux, I don't anticipate us seeing that going happen here at
56:21
Oklahoma at all. So PG some transfer portal, right, I know that
56:30
we've been pushing to get some additional offensive linemen in the portal. The Hatchet
56:37
Brothers, I know, was the big topic of discussion. Don't know what
56:42
that looks like right now. All I know is that Oklahoma's ceiling pursuit,
56:49
and I do anticipate either picking up something that's now or at the spring window.
56:54
That's probably something that's going to go down in. I say, in
56:59
that time period, right like last year, a lot of our best players
57:02
came through in I mean the Ya days John Terrors of the world. You
57:07
know, they showed up right after spring and out enrolled in the June range
57:13
and became impactful early. I says, that's what we're gonna go for when
57:17
it comes to that, Right, We're gonna, We're gonna We're gonna keep
57:20
pursuing the guys that we get our hands on. And I think we also
57:22
like our room, right, we like what we're doing, but we got
57:25
a lot of players need to push after PG. How are you feeling about
57:29
our push for some of these players. Don't get discouraged if we don't land
57:37
the Hatchet Brothers, right, don't get discouraged if we don't get any more
57:43
guys through the portal. And the reason why I say that is is because
57:47
I think, yeah, would be really good to get at least one more
57:51
guy in the offensive line. But it's not necessarily needed. Like, I
57:55
think you could probably rotate in some of these freshmen, especially early, and
58:00
kind of see if they're able to step up when needed. I think some
58:04
of the guys you got in the portal are pulling good enough. I think
58:06
Bill beat and bo is going to have a decent offensive line. I think
58:09
it'd be probably middle of the road for the SEC. I see some people
58:13
in here asking about Casey Poe. Casey Poe is locked in with Alabama,
58:15
and I don't expect that the change unless something just doesn't go Alabama's way,
58:22
like drastic changes, because gotta remember, he is a legacy Alabama guy.
58:27
He had a family member played for Bear Bryant. Now, yes, he
58:30
thought he was going to play for Nick Saban, but I mean, there's
58:34
just some heavy ties there Tobama. So I'm not expecting Casey Poe to end
58:37
up in Oklahoma anytime soon or at all. So yeah, I mean,
58:42
I think they've done a good job, but I'm not really expecting Oklahoma to
58:45
pull anybody else in the portal right now, unless it's somebody elite hits the
58:49
portal and somebody who can't live without, which I mean and when those guys
58:52
hit the portal. We've seen it usually a bag situation that Oklahoma is not
58:58
willing to get involved in because he don't want your players making more than your
59:01
coaches. So well, I mean some of them already do, but I
59:05
think the bigger piece is is there's certain players you're willing to do that for,
59:08
especially if they're proven. And but I think the one thing with this
59:14
staff is, and I mentioned this before and a nice little rant, is
59:16
We're probably not going to guarantee any starting spots, right, We'll let you
59:22
compete. Got to be prepared to compete. But I think that that's that's
59:25
what the Hatchet brothers are probably gonna want to do. They're willing to compete.
59:29
They look like at their former Joe Moore Award winning linemen that participated.
59:34
One of them started five the other one got about what three or five games
59:37
in starting and playing, they both dealt with some injuries. I know Landon
59:40
is hurt right now. He hurt his if I'm correct, there was his
59:43
knee and so he didn't play in the National Championship, So he's hurt at
59:49
this point. While also, you know the older brother thing, Jerry and
59:59
is looking at an opportunity to really play. He's got two years left of
1:00:02
eligibility, so I anticipate us picking them up. I love also what we
1:00:07
have gotten out the portal for beachi Wa, who is gonna be a beast
1:00:12
man friend Spencer. I think Spencer Brown solid. I'm still high on the
1:00:16
Jakes, though both Jakes had Sexton Taylor. I'm really high on them,
1:00:22
on their on their on them getting out there and playing. So we all
1:00:30
know that Sexton is gonna definitely probably got that that blind side lockdown. That's
1:00:35
probably his spot now that he's especially that he's healthy, since you know,
1:00:38
he came off that knee injury in the cheese At Bowl, had his ACL
1:00:44
surgery and he's back, I anticipate he's gonna be the one that you're gonna
1:00:46
see starting a lot going forward. And I like the other Jake, I
1:00:53
think that we're gonna see him playing a lot too. I mean, you
1:00:55
had a first rounder and and and Tyler Guyton now there, and really,
1:01:00
I mean it's kind of hard to take his spot away from him. And
1:01:02
as the season winded down they weren't making the conference championship or playoffs, I
1:01:07
sensed that they were probably like Guidan's like, yeah, I'm go go ahead
1:01:10
and rest my body up, get ready for the draft. And he's one
1:01:14
of the few players that was marked by a lot of the analysts as a
1:01:16
guarantee first rounder. Dude, he was a defensive tackle. Bro oh yeah,
1:01:22
geyden Which is Geydon still a projected first round pick? Because I know
1:01:25
there was some talk like during ball season that he might not be a first
1:01:30
rounder, and then I heard some talk that he might be stinking back in
1:01:32
so I didn't know what I saw what I saw before. Right around the
1:01:37
bowl time, ESPN one of their analysts dropped his guys that he think are
1:01:43
guaranteed first rounders, and Guyton was on that list. And that was late
1:01:46
December, and so now we just got a wait for the camps and the
1:01:51
workouts. The good thing for him is his measurables is what's going to keep
1:01:53
him there. Like if you question his play, but you see his message
1:01:57
was you gonna be like, oh, okay, he was able to do
1:01:58
all of that at that size. Yeah. I'm curious to see how many
1:02:01
offensive linemen get drafted this year from Oklahoma because you've got four or five guys
1:02:07
you've got Yeah, five, you got Yeah, Rowse is definitely getting drafted.
1:02:13
Yeah, the Tower before five. Yeah, I think my Tower gets
1:02:15
a late round pick. I think he has a late round grade. I
1:02:19
think he does get picked up though, just because of beating bow. Beating
1:02:22
bow. Dude, and Andy Reid's talking about your lineman, talking about how
1:02:24
much he likes getting players from there, he went. They got Yanye Morris,
1:02:29
who played, who's been playing the last few weeks. He purposely went
1:02:31
and got him. Because they've got Creed, they got Blake Bell. They're
1:02:36
adding dudes like you. I want the guys that that beaten Bow was coaching
1:02:39
and they had Orlando Brown junior before. You know, he got sixty million
1:02:44
dollars right, Yeah, that that that's the thing is that they see beating
1:02:50
Bow. It's all what he's done. The like, Yeah, I would
1:02:52
like that guy's players. Yeah, which, how much does Creed get on
1:02:54
his extension? One hundred million something? Because I feel like if you're the
1:02:59
Chiefs, that is the one offensive line men you pay for. Creed's got
1:03:04
to make a hundred million. I don't think he makes a hunter, but
1:03:06
I know he's making someone. He's gonna make some uh some some nice chunks
1:03:12
once this extension kicks in, Yeah, yeah, he's yeah, but no,
1:03:15
so you got Raus. I feel like Schaefer would be a late late,
1:03:20
late late late pick, like late to almost undrafted, but I feel
1:03:23
like he'll get drafted. I feel like Rause would probably go in the third
1:03:27
or fourth round. I would imagine mcaid would probably go probably fourth or fifth.
1:03:30
I'm seeing Kaid as more of a six seven uh NeSSI siad on him
1:03:36
is just you know, he's gonna have to prove himself to get up there.
1:03:38
But I think he does work out well. I think his camp immeasurables
1:03:42
and stuff will will help him out. He's athletic enough. I think that
1:03:46
what helps rouse is how big of a dude he is, Like he's a
1:03:51
giant name is enormous human being. Right you add him with how huge Tyler
1:03:55
Guidon is, which, like I said, defensive tackle to tidy end that
1:04:00
we converted to a right tackle who monstrous. Pretty excited about that, right,
1:04:05
That's the good thing about having him. And yeah, and Kim,
1:04:13
you ask a good question. I mean, freshmen are going to retire off
1:04:15
of Schmitty's workouts. Man he's gone. He gonna have them boys working.
1:04:19
He already got them working. He and the beating neighbors. Man. Listen,
1:04:25
I've already been talking to some of them and they just, yeah,
1:04:28
it's it's it's fun. It's fun to hear the freshmen talk about their Smitty
1:04:33
experiences. Yeah, and that's what I want to get my hands on,
1:04:36
is I need a freshman to come in here and talk to us about what
1:04:40
it's like being when you meet Schmitty the first time, how you truly feel
1:04:44
like did he get your attention? The best time for OEU players and interviews
1:04:50
is that after spring game to like summer, when they're out the school,
1:04:58
right, So yeah, we'll see how that goes. All right, We're
1:05:01
about an hour. I'm not gonna be here too long for y'all, and
1:05:06
hold y'all up at the evening. We appreciate it. We got halftime of
1:05:10
this forty nine Ers and Lions game with the Lions of twenty four to seven.
1:05:14
Geez, Louise, this is Lions Chiefs matchup, babybo. We're gonna
1:05:17
buy some knee caps in the Super Bowl. I'm open and we get that.
1:05:23
Remember how the Lions beat the Chiefs in the first week and they were
1:05:27
talking all this crap and we didn't have Cadarius Tony and we didn't have Travis
1:05:31
Kelce in that game and we only lost by one point. Chief Super Bowl.
1:05:36
Again, we're watching great Inn thiss Man. It's not fair that y'all
1:05:43
got MJ in his prime. Y'all get to actually watch it in full.
1:05:45
And I don't think it's fair that the Chiefs defense decided that they wanted to
1:05:49
like improve this year. That's true, yep, that'd be Like I just
1:05:56
wonder abody to realize. The Chiefs right now are what Oaklallo could have been
1:06:00
with Lincoln Riley. If they would have played a defense or at least a
1:06:02
half comparable defense right like that, Like, they would have probably won that
1:06:08
many national championships. They'd be in the National championship all the time. So
1:06:14
I just think about that all the time. Every time I watch the Chiefs,
1:06:15
I go, this is what Lincoln Riley's Oklahoma teams could have been if
1:06:18
he would have just been competent, you know a little bit. So thank
