0:40
got a lot of tipic to dive into from this crazy weekend. And
0:44
you know, daylight savings time's changing. We lost the hour of sleep and
0:48
I feel it like one hundred percent. So uh, we got coop here
0:51
as usual. We weren't to have a few more, but you know,
0:54
we had some some scheduled conflicts and we will fix that next time and all
0:59
of that. Coop man, how do you feel a doubt? I'm doing
1:03
good. I'm avoiding the sunlight is so we talked about this in the green
1:07
room. I got a nice little ray of sunshine, so I'm gonna come
1:10
up close and personal. But yeah, man, it's you know, this
1:14
is what we're talking. March tenth. We've got the spring game not too
1:19
far away. You see the the the the shanigans, the the plans,
1:25
the everything going on with with our you know, our coaching staff and future
1:30
freaks is becoming another one of these great another one of these great opportunities to
1:37
come in, get a chance to do some stuff at the Soul Mission,
1:40
get a chance to really get a good look at some of these kids who
1:44
you know, in the twenty six twenty seven class are going to be the
1:49
big names at the top of all the charts. And so yeah, it's
1:52
always good when when you can do that. Plus, you know, everybody
1:56
wants to hop on it right then and there and and make the make the
2:00
commitments, and so we hear a little bit of that. So I appreciate
2:04
everybody hopping in here. We're happy to talk Sooner football every day of the
2:08
week, but on a Sunday it's even better, right, you know,
2:12
we're talking on today. And before we dive into everything, make sure y'all
2:16
check out the autograph app. I have the links and bloading it into the
2:21
description below. Chay out the Autograph app. We got a partnership with them.
2:27
It's a new app that basically aggregates sports content. You'll see all the
2:30
Oklahoma folks in Olkahoma Breakdown or you Insider the franchise. All that content's loaded
2:37
all in that spot. It's pretty cool. Tom Brady's got a promotion going
2:40
on right now where they're trying to do an elite suite experience for college basketball.
2:46
So we got to support our guys. They got twenty wins, which
2:49
is pretty huge based upon the type of season that they've had this year.
2:52
Right So in the description below you'll see the links. Please check those out
2:57
and download the app. Use the promo code in for a sport of course,
3:00
that tells them that I sent you, and then you'll be obligated to
3:04
make me and Coop your plus one and two whenever you win the contest,
3:07
so just keep that in mind. So I think it's five people, so
3:10
you only get three you, well two because me and Coop you and whoever
3:15
else you decide to invite, So let's notate that. But no, Yeah,
3:20
Future Freaks weekend is awesome. I enjoy these recruiting weekends because that's when
3:24
you can start to getting some insight. This is now the beginning of spring
3:29
recruiting. This is now the moment where recruiting really starts to ramp up because
3:34
The big thing before that is is that February is a dead period, and
3:38
honestly, we were pretty bad ourselves here. It's not much to talk about,
3:40
right, It's a lot of speculation and in a lot of capacities.
3:45
I like to talk about things, but at the same time, I don't
3:49
want to borey out too much, right. We want to want to make
3:51
sure it's at least some entertainment and fun. But that's where we're gonna lead
3:55
things off. Well, talk Future Freaks. I want to talk about Baker's
3:59
contra track. We'll do that at the back part of the show. And
4:02
because you know, former Sooner got himself his contract extension that we were hoping
4:06
for, and he's with my Buccaneers, so of course I'm excited. So
4:10
I'll have to put up put together a video to talk about that a little
4:13
bit more, a little bit more in detail in my Buccaneers creamsickle Baker Mayfield
4:20
shirt. We've got to do that. But outside of that, Coop Man
4:24
like, my favorite thing about Future Freaks is that it's usually a lot of
4:29
the guys that are not for this class, but the next one, usually
4:31
twenty six's and twenty sevens and you start to see, Okay, who should
4:36
we keep our eyes on? Right? You had Jonathan Hatton and you're the
4:41
twenty six running back that's already committed six foot roughly two hundred pounds running back.
4:46
He came in, and the way it sounds is he really loved the
4:51
additional visit. He is happy about his decision to be a Sooner and he
4:56
don't want to be nowhere else. So Oklahoma man found themselves a great gym
5:00
in that one. Then you see all the others. But you know,
5:01
Adrian Peterson, Adrian Peterson's little brother showed up, Nelson Peterson Junior, who's
5:08
a quarterback. Right. Interesting when I saw that he's a quarterback, he
5:12
pulled up, saw a few other quarterbacks join or whatnot. You even saw
5:16
Nick Evers little brother, Drew Evers, the offensive lineman, four star,
5:20
twenty twenty six lineman, he pulled up, shout out to PG. He's
5:26
got a long list for me that and I know he's put his list out
5:29
on social media. But he we me and him kind of worked together and
5:31
putting together what we see on social media. A lot of players in town
5:35
pretty excited. But I think the thing that's probably on everybody's attention is titled
5:39
this video did Oklahoma gets some silence? Right? Well, y'all know Kevin
5:45
Sperry, five star, four star quarterback for twenty twenty five, he always
5:49
puts his little gift at his little video out of him and preventables doing this.
5:56
And when he does that, they mean somebody has already committed and we're
5:58
anticipating a commit me coming up. So cool when you saw that, or
6:03
right at your mind, Trust the Cushing staff, trust the process. You
6:11
know, last year around this time we had and through some of these bigger
6:16
deals, you get whispers of people committing and sometimes I'm gonna I'm gonna go
6:26
with this is my very well educated opinion, but I will say this is
6:31
sometimes these guys, these kids come in and they're jack, they're ready to
6:34
go. And I believe we saw it with Elijah last year that he was
6:39
like, yeah, I'm committing, and I think that Emmett was like,
6:41
okay, cool, so what are you going to do? Go home,
6:43
talk to your Family's like no, it's done. It's let's let's do it
6:46
right now. And sometimes you just can't walk them off and be like hold
6:50
on, because I think that there is a plan that happens. I think
6:54
that there is a plan that that goes on to where they want momentum,
6:59
they want that their name kind of popping up at certain times, and so
7:04
you know, Brent Vinnables has his famous policy that you know, if you
7:09
commit, visits are done, and we want to make sure that you're one
7:11
hundred percent. I don't know about a lot of these kids. I know
7:15
Owen Hollandbeck that's one hundred percent type of a boy. He is one hundred
7:19
percent. But you know, we had Christian Thatcher during one of his you
7:26
know visits, and he was all set to go, and I think that's
7:30
you know, they he was told let's hold off, let's you know,
7:32
do it in the summer, and a lot was changing and you saw what
7:36
happened once We've done with that now, I do believe that that recruitment has
7:41
gone away quite a bit. He's not dead. I still talk to Christian
7:45
and I still love that guy and would love to see him be a sooner.
7:48
But this year, this week, there were there were some some names
7:53
being dropped. I think that there is only speculation out here, but we
7:59
didn't pull Trent Williams we're not bringing him back into the fold. That's an
8:03
inside joke between Jay and I. But you know, there there are there
8:07
are a couple of names out there, and I mean, I'll let you
8:11
divultos if you want to. It's not Fusi and Haywood. I think he
8:18
is. Yeah, if we got Fassusi and Heywood in one weekend, we
8:22
would have a few more folks on this podcast with us. But both of
8:26
those guys are looking good. I think that there is some smoke out there
8:28
with Passusi and Texas. Don't buy it. Don't buy the smoke. Whatever
8:33
happens. Uh. You know, We've got a lot of folks who who
8:37
are very, very very in tune with with some of these guys. PG
8:43
is one of our guys who has a you know, a good standing,
8:45
respectful relationship with Fasusi and uh, you know he's he's one of my front
8:50
runners for who I trust the most at this moment. Uh, with with
8:54
that recruitment. But at the same time, these are these are future freaks.
8:58
These are guys and when Oklahoma starts calling on you, something's going to
9:03
eventually happen. Somebody's going to pay attention and watch most of these kids who
9:07
were in town this week. I don't know if you're part of message boards.
9:11
There's a couple of different ones where they have social media feeds you can
9:15
go back in. But a couple of these kids will shoot up the rankings
9:18
and they're gonna get a lot more intention And I think that that's why the
9:20
staff says, let's, you know, let's pump the brakes on this,
9:22
because we don't want guys committing and then getting all this recognition and then being
9:28
like coach, you know at the time, see what had happened was you
9:33
don't want those relationships to go south like that. So so to hey,
9:37
how are you doing Sooner Cowboys? We love you guys, tea What's up
9:41
Sooner Religions podcast? If you like bringing back old memories and cherishing and relishing
9:46
in them with with somebody else, I do encourage you to check out the
9:50
Super Leigienus podcast too. But yeah, this this is a great weekend.
9:54
A lot of attention is going to be coming out of here. And I
9:58
would say that we got better this week. And I like watching stuff about
10:01
them making smoothies and you know, going through with the nutritionists and stuff like
10:05
that Uh, it's I mean, it's just a lot of fun, you
10:07
know, going on right now. So if you hypothetically, I would guess
10:16
if there was some silence, who would be the two you would say probably
10:18
gave a silent commitment. I mean, Malik wilk Milie Hawkins, you know
10:26
he is is uh And if you are raising a chat, yeah, Milik
10:31
Wilkins. But yeah, you've also got Trent Wilson. And I think that
10:37
that is a I mean, like you said, it is if that,
10:41
if that happens, that's awesome. I respect these guys and I want their
10:45
process to be enjoyed. I want them to get what they're supposed to get
10:48
out of it. But but yeah, if those are two guys, again,
10:52
like I said, I firmly maintain my stand that a couple of them
10:56
will be told, hey, listen, you know, we want to use
10:58
you to help, you know, start the momentum and get that momentum going
11:01
on. And but there's a there's a lot of football that we played between
11:07
uh showing up in Norman and and today for some of these kids. And
11:11
so, but bro, how old do you feel when Adrian Peterson's little brother's
11:16
here? I wasn't. Katen Jones was in the house too. I ran
11:20
against his dad and you know, in track back in high school. So
11:26
that makes me feel extremely old. Yeah, yeah, Kewan went to high
11:28
school with my sister, and so yeah, it's it's funny because you know
11:35
he's my class and so yeah one and so it's just when I saw him
11:39
and saw a sudden I say, oh goodness, it just it hits you
11:45
when you start seeing people you were to school with day kids as popular,
11:48
like you said, Adrian Peters's little brother being there and everything. But I
11:52
mean, I like the fact that you know, we got you know,
11:54
Michael Hawk's little brother here and he's already started receiving his crystal balls to Oak
12:00
Home up. People anticipate that he's gonna end up being a sooner, and
12:03
to be honest, I'm I'm very much sold on him being in the class.
12:07
So it's not he's not so one for me to think that he wouldn't
12:11
be in there. And dude, he's talented. I mean he's what six
12:13
six' one ish, maybe tween six foot and six two. I mean,
12:18
I need official measurements on a lot of these kids, because their account
12:22
says one thing, their huddles says another, and in every recruiting side of
12:26
something different. But Lee Hawkins is one that I if there was one,
12:31
I was to guess, I think he'll be exuse something. If I'm correct,
12:35
he tweeted out that he will be doing it. Yeah he did.
12:37
He tweeted out the beginning of the month that he's gonna be doing his commitment
12:41
early April, in which his brother was kind of in a similar case.
12:46
So if I'm looking at this correctly, I'm sensing that that the city he's
12:52
six y two is what he has himself listed, six two one eighty corner,
12:58
which y'all love, big tall corner. I sense that if anything,
13:01
he's gonna probably be the one that commits, is the one that going ahead
13:05
and gave is silent. If he's playing on doing it early April. Now,
13:07
I mean, I have no inside info. I'm reading the tea leaves
13:11
just like Coop is. So I'm wondering what that looks like if he ends
13:18
up going ahead and gets that commitment, and and it's hard, and so
13:22
there's there's iterations of and there's guys in the chat, there's guys that will
13:28
watch this there's iterations of who wants to be that guy to break news,
13:35
to put in a prediction, to be one of the first ones, right,
13:37
and that that seems so much fun. But I think the closer I
13:41
get to like meeting and you know, having conversations and relationships with some of
13:46
these recruits and players and stuff like that, Like it's it's drawn off of
13:50
me to ruin that because when they tell me, when they tell us stuff,
13:56
you know, it's you don't want to say something out loud, and
14:00
you can get a reputation pretty quickly. I do want to I want to
14:03
pivot one percent, one hundred and eighty degree pivot a lot of these kids
14:07
that are on here right now that are in this weekend, you're going to
14:13
see these kids tweet out about Blessed to See year number sixteen and seventeen coming
14:18
up, like Kamori. We had Kamori on the show. We have chopped
14:22
it up with Kamory hung out in person and then dude drops the Blessed to
14:26
See seventeen And it always drags me back to reality because it's these these are
14:31
fifteen sixteen year old kids that that that that we're dealing with right now like
14:37
most of us are, like, you know, talking about the nineteen twenty
14:39
year old college player. But man, bro, there's there's some youth happening
14:43
here. And so it is that's always hard too, because I mean,
14:48
I don't I was pretty good at baseball when I was fifteen sixteen, I
14:52
wasn't to the level that these guards are, these guys are at football.
14:58
You know, to be able to play D one is a lot different than
15:01
different than being a guy who plays at a blue blood and D one and
15:05
it is a dude, and man, it's I don't know what they're going
15:09
through right now, just because it is the world is being opened up to
15:13
you. You're seeing this stuff and you're seeing some of these you know,
15:16
some of these names you know hopping in and it's eye opening. And I
15:20
know that they've been freaks and they've been the best of the best for quite
15:24
a while. And you know, a Suner Cowboys dropped, uh you know,
15:28
Drew Evers, you know, was in was in in the house,
15:33
his his mom, Monica, where if you're a Sooner fan, you should
15:37
be you know, pretty uh familiar with Monica because you know, she is
15:41
very, very vocal on social media, and she I think that she really
15:43
does have the opportunity to uh, you know, there yet there you go,
15:48
Thank you God. Yep, so there you go. There you have
15:52
it. So uh a lot of youth being going on and more than ever.
15:56
My, my, the final point of what I'm trying to say here
15:58
is they've been pulled and pushed by more people than kids were five years ago
16:07
or even four years ago. There's so much going on now. And now
16:11
they've got a video game. Now you've got nil and then you're gonna have
16:15
random people showing up and saying, I hear that you're you know, I'm
16:18
a proud alum of you know, Arkansas, and you know, I want
16:22
to see if I can have a conversation with you about just kind of what
16:25
your what your goals are. There's a lot of that stuff going on,
16:27
and so you know, when you get a chance to see some of the
16:30
social media feeds, cool beds, you know, the gear, the smoothies
16:33
and stuff like that. Man, just you know, encourage these kids to
16:38
just have fun and enjoy the process. What's crazy to me is in transitioning
16:44
on that, let's talk about our guy, you know him at Jones.
16:48
You know, I've always been big on getting that. Man a raise seems
16:52
to be bringing in a lot of kids. Yeah, those are some wide
16:56
receivers in there from the twenty five class. Like, all right, we
16:59
got well one spot left at wide receiver. I guess you could say we
17:03
could do with zero spots left. Wait at this Yeah, the way he's
17:08
recruiting, I don't think it really matters. But he's gonna he's gonna get
17:14
the ones, and he of course not only wants but some of the best
17:15
ones out there in college football. But if I'm correct, looking at the
17:18
list from from PG we had we had a couple of twenty five's in there.
17:23
You know, it looks like marsh showed up Quincy Porter, like I
17:30
even know about Quincy Porter at all? Right, Yeah, and then to
17:36
Nick Hines potentially show a face. Man, we look, Emmitt Jones is
17:44
killing it cool. Who do you think is gonna be the last wide receiver
17:47
to come in this class if we take one, which I think we do.
17:49
Man, Yeah, there's gonna that's the benefit of Emma Jones Right now,
17:56
as you uh to steal the words of Tony Stark, you know,
18:02
kickback, relax, you know, put the you know, he's got the
18:04
world taken care of, rest with a you know, a nice margarita like
18:08
it. Like that's literally he can literally just go searching for diamonds in the
18:12
rough or go to all of these receivers, all these top guys like Andrew
18:18
marsh and and just be like, I mean, I got one spot left
18:22
and we've got nine nine. People were kind of looking at you know,
18:26
we've had a relationship for a long time, and you know we'd love to
18:29
have you. But I mean it's literally, you know, as a seller,
18:33
which is what these guys are, you have to be able to willing
18:37
to willingly say like I would love to have your business, but you know
18:40
we're going to go on with or without you and either hop on the train
18:44
or or watch it, watch it drive away from the station. And and
18:48
I mean he's got that capability because I mean there's twenty six guys that are
18:52
ready. There's twenty seven guys. You know, I think I sent you
18:56
something a couple of weeks back of you know, it was that tay ellis
19:00
uh like fourteen or fifteen years old, has been getting attention and stuff like
19:03
that, and I'm like Emmitt Jones is kind of hanging out with you know,
19:07
fourteen fifteen, sixteen year olds right now because his business is done up
19:11
until that point. So if we can pull Marsh, I'd like to see
19:15
it. I mean, I'd like to see somebody with really really good route
19:18
running or really really good physical tools. Both of them would be terrific.
19:23
And so we've got, you know, a bevy of receivers that are you
19:26
know, in the twenty four class, twenty five class, and emmittt I
19:32
mean, I don't know anytime that you will ever telling me Emmitt Jones is
19:37
salary. I'm gonna tell I'm gonna say too low, because there's no chance
19:40
that we're paying him enough. And man need be paid more just because he's
19:44
just too low. His job. He really is his job. So him
19:49
Haul, we've been blessed. I'll just put it that way in what we're
19:55
getting right now. And yeah, and so the cowboy just checked out Kamar.
20:00
I'll dive into him a little bit more another time. I think that's
20:06
an interesting top six that he dropped this morning. There's been a lot of
20:10
the top sixty picks lightly, but here's one that y'all should be excited about.
20:15
Of course, this is the one that y'all have all been hoping that
20:18
we would see. Now. I don't think he gave us a silent,
20:19
but we do know. We have an official visit here from Tyer Haywood,
20:23
the offensive lineman out of Texas. He'll be here June fourteenth through sixteenth.
20:30
And this is another beating both special right. This is another guy that everyone's
20:37
been asking the question, can this beating bos still got his fastball? And
20:41
beating Bow has shown us over and over all he got it. He's recruiting
20:44
the dudes he wants and needs. And I try to post any videos as
20:47
possible because I've gotten a lot of random comments and a lot of my videos
20:51
of of people just being frustrated. Right, And I get it, right,
20:56
I understand that you know we want to take every start out there.
21:00
But at the same time, when you get players like Ryan Foje who goes
21:06
from unranked all the way into the top one hundred after his film gets evaluated,
21:11
that's the excitement and it's cool. If you guys did not check it
21:15
out, I did a video Saturday. I dropped a video Saturday morning,
21:19
hung out with Colin Kennedy from two four to seven and sooners illustrated he dropped
21:25
some articles recently, and the conversation was, of course a great time because
21:30
he kind of broke down how certain how these players starting to get caught.
21:34
Like one player he said to definitely look out for coming here was Trent Wilson,
21:38
Right, he was probably the biggest name of coming in that he said
21:44
to really pay attention to when he talked to him in Atlanta. He likes
21:48
Oklahoma a lot. And you know, I mean he's rocking Georgia here while
21:55
talking to him, because he's from Georgia, so it's granted. But at
21:56
the same time, there's a lot of excite meant around Oklahoma going into SEC
22:03
country, which that's something to be happy about. Right as we travel at
22:08
these places and play ball, a lot of these kids are paying attention to
22:11
us. I've had a few parents hit me up. Actually one parent,
22:15
I think he's probably in here, and he made mention to me, like,
22:18
hey, in this area. There's a lot of buzz around Oklahoma,
22:22
and the kids know what Venables can do because Venables used to recruit a lot
22:26
of the players from their schools back in his Clemson day. So they're like
22:30
they know what he's about, they know what's available, so they're like,

23:07
This ty Heywood, How are you feeling about him? Right? He's already
23:10
got a he got a prediction. I think it was a prediction from on
23:15
three Inside Texas guy Justin Wills thinks that Oklahoma's gonna win this one. How
23:22
are you feeling about that? You know, while we were navigating through the
23:30
through the twenty four class the bad offensive Line Hall that we were going after,
23:36
you know, we were very very vocal that there was a lot of
23:40
there was I guess not a lot of offensive line talent in the area.
23:45
And so when we started going after guys and we didn't land them, it
23:49
was frustrating, but I mean, I still got to say, looking back
23:56
at this line that we just signed. It outpaced what I thought was going
24:00
to happen. I mean just outpaced it significantly. And we talked and we
24:06
started pointing towards twenty five because of guys like uh, you know, Ty
24:11
Haywood hauling back Fasousi and Lamont Rodgers. We you know, we started looking
24:18
towards there because there's just so so many dagub guys over here, the highway,
24:22
the Heywood thing, like he's he's a guy that has had a relationship
24:26
with Bean balf for quite a long time. And if we land him this,
24:33
I mean, this is going to be. This is going to be
24:36
I mean, he's going to be the guy like that's going to be his
24:37
I think, his best signee. And it's kind of like this year's defensive
24:45
line, like do you say it was a Koye? Do you say it
24:48
was David Stone, Do you say it was Gilmore? You know, Nigel
24:55
Howe. And right now Jayden Jackson is balling out and in demand that his
25:00
name is not forgotten. So that's how it's going to be this year with
25:03
the offensive line. And then you get guys like is it funny? Is
25:08
Zayden Oh come on? Uh now, crimp Crimplin crimping? He is an
25:15
offensive lineman that was in the in the house today from twenty twenty six or
25:19
this week. He is another guy who is going to be I mean Zayden
25:26
Krempin. If I'm getting the name right, that's an that's a name you
25:30
want on here. I mean Dane Zaslow If if Zaslaw do you remember if
25:33
he remembers that name. So we've got here's what I'm if. If you
25:38
need anything out of me, trust being like, yes, we understand that
25:44
he is not just going to walk in and do whatever he wants with whoever.
25:48
But he has relationships he's sending. Just got an extension today, you
25:53
know with uh I think he's is he a Bengals guy, Bengals rounds.
26:00
I can't remember where he's at, Cody Ford. Somebody helped me out here
26:03
in the chat. But okay, so he just got an extension. And
26:10
before you say anything, who is their number one player that their team will
26:15
go or not? Joe Burrow? What do you put around him? Absolute
26:19
studs? So yeah, this this is going to be a year. If
26:23
we start with Heywood We've already got hollingd. Beck On. Holland beck is
26:27
going to be you know, he is going to be either inside the center
26:32
area or the guard, but he is going to be a guy that is
26:34
going to bring some flexibility, the same thing I mean for Susie. For
26:40
Susie is a guy who I think that could walk in and go right now.
26:42
I think that Michael pe Susi is probably one of the guys that I
26:47
love the most that I've never spent any effort going after to have conversations with,
26:51
just because of pg's conversations with him, and so I'm looking forward to
26:56
that. Yeah. So I mean we've got some We've got This is gonna
27:00
be a fun offensive line because I think that we have the nil opportunities.
27:03
If you follow the Oklahoma breakdown, you know that Gabe's family is part of
27:08
the Love's family. They are reaching out and they're trying to go directly for
27:12
offensive lineman. I know it's kind of like tonging in cheek, but still,
27:17
so find out if you can help out. If it's you know,
27:19
Crimson Clean, Crimson Cream Collective, five bucks a month, ten bucks a
27:23
month, whatever you do, just get in there. Because that's going to
27:26
help us get this. And I don't think that we're ever going to pony
27:30
up a million dollars for a defensive lineman or an offensive lineman or anything like
27:34
that, but we definitely want to have a strong representation when it comes towards
27:40
the nil and this is the year on the offensive line that we're going to
27:44
see the turnout kind of like the defensive line this year. Yeah, it's
27:48
Zayden Crippen Is you were okay, that's all right. I just didn't want
27:56
to say kremlin or crumpet, So I was just trying to stay away from
28:00
those two words. And it's crimping, and just said I'm just now but
28:06
crimping ain't easy. Crimping ain't easy. Easy actually the easiest way to say
28:11
it. I actually I like the like the like you went with that.
28:15
Crimping ain't easy. But and it's funny because I was looking at that the
28:19
Kamar the Kamar archie, uh top top six right, let me see if
28:26
it'll let me share this one in there. You know, he's up there
28:30
in the New Jersey area and he's been recruited by Reventables since he was a
28:40
freshman, right, And this was back when he was at Clemson and so
28:44
for him and say, yeah, I like what he's doing. We know
28:51
what he's putting together. I'm totally in there. And he's already said that
28:56
he's got his official visit schedule for June. So of course that guy looks
29:03
like I mean, Kamar Archie kind of looks like he's already you know,
29:07
been on cell Block D for a few years. Like that is a grown
29:10
man, Like this is a guy to where this is who we want on
29:14
our team. It's I mean, God bless you know, Danny Stutzman and
29:19
everybody be like this, that's a seventeen year old, sixteen year old kid
29:23
in that picture. I mean, I'm just that is a grown man.
29:32
And that is the difference when you talk Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, like
29:37
we've got guys that you I mean to the normal person, right like to
29:42
be I saw a video the other day, like I'm six' one it
29:47
at that area and I think it's some thirteen percent of men are above six
29:52
feet or taller, and so like think of that. I mean, when
29:56
you're looking at this kid like this, he's already physically out performed. You
30:02
know, most men in their entire life, and that's what he's going to
30:06
look like. This is why we need when you're going to SEC. This
30:10
is why people think that the SEC is when need Oklahoma up is because everybody
30:14
looks like that. Everybody looks different. Everybody is absolutely physical freaks, and
30:21
we've got to have guys like that, more guys like that. The backups
30:26
need to look like that. The you know, the scout teams need to
30:29
look like guys that we were running out there with Lincoln Riley three or four
30:32
years ago. So I know that's a little bit of a seemingly drunk rant,
30:37
but I mean like guys like those who that's who we go after.
30:41
Yeah, yeah, you know, that's what we do here at the show.
30:45
We have our drunk rants. But as mentioned before earlier, you know,
30:48
Monica Evers was in town. That's Drew Evers standing there with beating bow
30:52
looking like a giant human being. The Evers family still just love for Oklahoma.
30:56
It seems like the man is in town. And I know I've read
31:00
a few places that Drew actually likes Oklahoma. He's got he's for what we're
31:07
what the staff is and what we're doing. And you know, the biggest
31:11
beef that that that was had when it came to Oklahoma, it appears to
31:15
be gone. So of course, you know, I'm just you know,
31:19
listen, hey man, my my eight year old daughter didn't make the school
31:26
play and I had feelings, and so like, your kid has been a
31:33
stud his whole entire life. And he gets somewhere and then we run out
31:36
to ou Texas sans Gabriel and how not like, how would you not be
31:42
frustrated? But again, life goes on, things move, and I'm pretty
31:48
sure if I'm the Evers family and my son is talking to Bill Beedenbaugh and
31:53
I see Twitter, and I see all the contracts that are going on with
31:57
offensive linemen and more going to happen. We want what's best for our kids,
32:02
right, And they thought that, you know, uh, Nick being
32:07
the starting quarterback was best for the kid. I promise you their son learning
32:09
under Bill Beanball, that's best for their kids. So yeah, you got
32:14
to think that after a year up there is in Wisconsin, they probably were
32:20
like, look, we got a better idea about things. A lot of
32:22
similar things are going on here too, and so maybe our perceptions need to
32:27
change a little bit. I'm not sure, I'm not. I'm not part
32:29
of the family. But what I do know is I'll take him on the
32:32
offensive line because that's that's a that's a big grown man too. Oh yeah,
32:37
I like I like young linemen that we get our hands on to be
32:42
able to mold. Beanbo has has this ability to do that. Right,
32:50
Michael, thank you for the two bucks. We really appreciate it. Director's
32:55
chair with the words on set. Yeah, I like that. Noted noted,
33:07
Okay, appreciate that. Oh, Jason, I like Jason's comments.
33:12
There's a lot of comments in the O U NFL O line contracts. Get
33:15
up a shout out to Hall of Fame. Jason. Yeah, I mean,
33:21
I I I absolutely absolutely just I mean, I love the victory tour
33:31
that I think Bill Bebo is gonna have this year because he is going because
33:36
I think that our offensive line is going to over Let's see here, everybody
33:42
had underestimates, so I think they're gonna overachieve. That's that's what I was
33:45
looking for. I talked for a living that's good. Agree with you there.
33:52
And then the way we're playing, and then I think we what what
33:58
are we taking? Like twenty one twenty ish people in this twenty five class.
34:04
So if he tosses in the potential best offensive line haul that he's ever
34:09
had this year, it's going to be in a top ten, you know,
34:14
bottom of the top ten type of a class this year because we just
34:16
won't be able to take as many people. But I mean, he is
34:21
going to have a victory tour. And if you if you're a Beanba,
34:25
you know, Pater, I mean, save your bookmarks. But you know,
34:30
I think we got ours too, And I think that's between the NFL
34:34
contracts. He has made chicken salad out of something else quite often, and
34:39
you know, again it's we're going to see it's gonna be a little bit
34:44
different on the offensive line, Jay, you and I have talked about this,
34:46
but when you run the RPO, there's a lot of I mean there's
34:52
a lot of like rounded edges in what these offensive linemen. Dude, they
34:57
can't technically always just go out there and go, hey, I'm dead on
35:00
running this play, or hey we're at this is one hundred percent of flat
35:04
pass play. So they're always kind of in this like no man's land.
35:07
And I think that this year, on this new offensive play calling, we're
35:12
going to see that we're going to see more of a you know that the
35:16
air raid style offense in the offensive linemen are going to have a lot more
35:20
clear cuts, a lot more clear cuts job responsibilities, and they're going to
35:25
know what to do and be able to do it better. So yeah,
35:30
overachief. And here's one name that I've been seeing pop up a lot over
35:37
the last couple of hours today and scrolling through social media, was with this
35:44
offensive line. John Turntime. He came through if I'm correct, he's twenty
35:50
twenty six, and it appears that Oklahoma really got his attention on this visit.
35:59
Right, He's a big kid, and again beating Bow is putting it
36:07
work. So I'm not concerned about next year. I'm pretty excited about it.
36:10
I think that that the offensive line is gonna be one that's gonna be
36:14
the biggest surprise. We talk about it a lot specifically because that is one
36:17
with the biggest question marks. But I think it's gonna definitely overtee based upon
36:22
the expectation. So thank you out for pulling up hit that like. But
36:25
if you need to the chance subscribe, please rate review. Also, if
36:29
you're listening to the podcast version, of this A lot of rambling, but
36:31
a lot of fun. We're just hanging out, checking the comments, thank
36:34
out, popping them in there. All right, real quick, let's talk
36:39
Baker. Baker got the contract, guys. I of course lost my mind
36:49
to see Baker Mayfield show up here, three year, one hundred million dollar
36:53
deal with fifty being guaranteed. Former Oklahoma quarterback got the money we anticipated he
37:00
was gonna get. And I asked you this cool when you saw that he
37:04
was gonna get the Buccaneers want to hang on to him, Man, did
37:07
you think it was gonna actually happen? Yeah, I mean when the Mike
37:12
Evans deal happened, that was it. That. I mean, that's that
37:15
told me everything I needed it to know, And to be honest with you,
37:19
that made me more excited than the Baker contracted because there's I just had
37:25
a feeling that maybe it's the PTSD from him being in both Cleveland and in
37:32
Carolina, which I mean, it's nevermind. I'm not even gonna go there.
37:37
I'm just saying this. No, no, no, no, but
37:42
I say this is I said it would be the most Baker bad luck for
37:47
Evans to bounce and go somewhere else, and so yeah, no, I
37:52
just uh so when they when they when they signed him, I was extremely
37:57
happy. I was extremely jacked up. And then you know, obviously,
38:02
I mean if you there's conversations going around there like if he could get somewhere
38:07
in the twenty to twenty five million dollar range, he would be I mean
38:12
basically overachieving at that point, negative ghost writer. He pulls the thirty three
38:17
and it's up to two. It's up to one point fifteen with incentives.
38:22
So not so what that tells me about how his contract was made is listen.
38:29
They say that they were willing to probably give him you know, it's
38:36
one of the bigger contracts in the league, you know, with the guaranteed
38:40
money, but they backed it down a little bit and then gave him some
38:44
more incentives because I think that they believe in him and they're willing to pay
38:47
that. So this is Tampa's Bay saying like, listen, if you can
38:51
get us back up towards that ten win mark, get us back in the
38:54
playoffs, win a playoff game, you know, and put us in the
38:58
NFC Championship game. In You're you're worth just as much as everybody else is
39:02
and so yeah, I mean, congratulations for Baker. Dude, bet him
39:07
bet on himself, you know, like Lamar Jackson did, and uh,
39:12
he got his money and and I feel so good for it because I mean,
39:15
he is granted. I don't know if the rest of the world looks
39:21
at him like I look at Drymond Green. But a lot of people hate
39:24
this dude. A lot of people hate this dude, and I just don't
39:29
understand. Yeah, I don't, I don't. I mean, yeah,
39:35
for like, you know, I'm not even gonna drop his name, but
39:37
a sports host in you know, in Oklahoma City absolutely hates this clown and
39:43
he calls him a clown, says, I mean because the dude ran from
39:47
the cops. Listen, I'll just say, there's not a lot that I
39:52
see people do. And I'm like, yeah, I never did anything close
39:55
to that running from the I'd never have in from the cops. But I've
40:00
been very drunk and gotten very lucky in very public places a lot, and
40:07
I'm not going to end it. If the Kansas people were trash talk in
40:09
me and doing all that stuff to me too, I would have done a
40:12
lot worse gestures. And guess what that plant of the Ohio state flag that
40:16
was iconic. So I say all that to this is dude, Sooner Cowboys,
40:22
exactly like you said, he shut up the haters. He went out
40:25
there, he was given an opportunity with a good franchise, and he went
40:30
and did it. And he he in and look at Cleveland because there's a
40:34
lot of folks in Cleveland right now who are going, yeah, I think
40:37
I think we messed that one up. And and and they were excited about
40:43
the old massage parlor. But I think he had what six touchdowns this year
40:49
and Baker Baker was in the top ten in almost every statistic. He outplayed
40:58
his contract easily, right, I mean just coming in there taking a one
41:02
year deal, tak it base feels like minimum for what a quarterback gos nowadays,
41:07
as a premium, as a starter, and betting on himself. Yeah,
41:10
he did everything he needed to do. And I like the fact that
41:13
he went ahead and took the incentive heavy three year deal because the good of
41:19
him is as the contracts, as the TV deals come in, because you
41:27
know, next year the tea the contract itself kicks in and the salary cap
41:32
jumped like twenty something million. There's a lot of extra money to spend,
41:37
and Baker taking a quote unquote quote a team friendly contract, it's gonna give
41:43
him the ability to jump in and renegotiate if they continue to ascend up over
41:47
the next year too. Mike Evans his wide receivers back, and he's even
41:51
professed how much he wanted to play with Baker Mayfield. So when Mike signed
41:54
back first, I was like, Okay, Baker's gotta be right behind them
41:58
because that you can have a dynamic thing enjoyed. Mike Evans continued this thousand
42:01
yard seasons with Baker and honestly, he'd probably had more touchdowns if he didn't
42:07
drop as many passes. That's the good thing is that he was and he
42:13
was on it. Yeah. By the way, happy birthday to PG.
42:17
He's here in the comment. He went out and had a birthday dinner.
42:21
That's why he didn't show up today. He decided that his birthday important than
42:24
hanging out with me. He turned up. He's turning twenty one. Yeah,
42:29
turned twenty two, you know, so he's now legal overall, so
42:34
we'll appreciate him or whatnot. So all of that, Mike, thank you
42:39
for the five bucks. You appreciate it. Video game controller looks so long
42:44
in between the words try again, I don't know what this means. And
42:52
I saw that comment behind me in between the words hey, maybe your shirt
43:00
something to do with your shirt? Maybe, yeah, could be. I
43:04
don't see the try again in here if I'm holding a couple of beers though,
43:07
because we're celebrating. It's a celebration, guys. It's a celebration that
43:12
Baker got that deal, which of course we're excited about. So outside of
43:15
that, I can expect Tampa to go ahead and win that division again because
43:23
I don't see anybody else there getting a quarterback that's gonna be able to walk
43:28
in and take that away from us. Right now and sooner, Cowboy,
43:30
please feel free to leave the Cowboys enjoying the bandwagon of my Buccaneers. I
43:37
got an application together already for you. I've been a Bucks fan since the
43:40
nineties, so I've actually been there while they were losing. But the beauty
43:44
of it is is I've seen them win two Super Bowls in the last twenty
43:49
four years. Not very many. Well, Cowboy fans can say that well.
43:53
As a Denver Broncos fan, you know there was there was a lot
43:59
of whispers hope that if Tampa Bay fumbled that that and I was like,
44:04
I don't think that Denver. Denver can't do it. They just cut Homeboy
44:07
and it's like eighty four million in dead money. But but no, I
44:10
mean it's a And I saw the comment about Judy going to the Browns.
44:16
You know what I mean, it's Jerry Jerry, I mean, Jerry Judy.
44:23
I mean, I just it's hard to have expectations for a guy who
44:27
just keeps on every time that he looks like he's going to do something.
44:31
Yeah, yeah, No, it's Dominic. I remember drafts with CD going
44:37
to the Denver Broncos, and those were very, very happy times in my
44:40
life. And I swear to God, if I've seen a mock draft that
44:45
we we we take bo picks and I will be decommitting from It'll be the
44:52
first time I'd ever quit liking a team. If that happens, I will
44:55
I will flip full cha uh oh. I listened Tim Tebow with Strike one
45:04
and two. If they get Bonix, that's that's it. That's it for
45:07
me. I mean, you know, you know, Bonix is what you'll
45:10
be the as old as Justin Fields or older at that point. I mean,
45:17
it may not be too bad for y'all. No, now, listen,
45:22
I know that Justin Fields is still going to make millions of dollars,
45:25
and so that's why I don't have full sympathy for him. But how would
45:30
you like to be that cat? Like he was like a top five fantasy
45:35
quarterback two years ago, right, and then now he's now You're like staring
45:40
Kayleb Williams and all of his drama and all of that in the face,
45:45
and you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're we're in for that.
45:47
Instead, I listened Cleveland's bad, Carolina's bad, Chicago ain't far behind,
45:53
So I mean they kind of deserve each other. No, you're you're
46:00
right, and uh, I'm praying for you and your Denver Broncos because you
46:06
are definitely way more on the struggle bus than me. Uh. We're joining
46:12
the XFL next year, I believe. I mean, if y'all what y'all
46:19
need to well, I understand what Sean Payton's doing, not to go too
46:22
far to the NFL talk, but I mean he had to come in there
46:23
and completely redo everything that John Elway was doing to y'all. I still don't
46:28
understand how John Elway can't evaluate a quarterback. Can anybody explain that? Bro?
46:31
It's it's the same reason why Michael Jordan couldn't be a coach. And
46:36
it's because, yeah, you know, sometimes sometimes you are just when you're
46:42
an athlete. It is very very very very rare. Like everybody knows that,
46:45
like college coaches going to the NFL and being successful is very rare.
46:50
Well, it is much more rare for a a an athlete like Michael Jordan
46:54
or an athlete, you know, one of the greats to turn around like
46:58
Derek Jeter, and because they have a drive and they have a will to
47:02
win. That like there's no trill for and if you don't have it,
47:07
you just don't have it. But some of these six guys, like Tiger
47:09
Woods, like winning. It's like if they don't win, they are not
47:14
good, and so they just don't see it sometimes, and uh, you
47:19
know, I'll say this is I mean, since John Elway, there has
47:22
not been a quarterback that has came up through the Denver. I mean,
47:25
we pulled Peyton Manning for a little bit, you know, and then we're
47:30
the ones who took a risk on his neck and we did really really good
47:34
and then we tried to do it with Russell Wilson and it fell on its
47:37
face. So but that's more Denver Press than we need to ever give them
47:43
ever again. Yeah, well, the good thing is is Memes is there,
47:45
and I think memes now that Jerry Judy's gone, you've got yeah,
47:49
Army Mems being able to really run thing. Nick Benito on the defensive side,
47:52
Jamar Kaine is the defensive line coach, which you got promoted from correct.
47:55
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Oklahoma's got a lot of representation out there.
48:00
It's pretty good. Yeah, and we were talking, we're talking about
48:05
quin As well. Yeah, d c Y is still there. Yeah and
48:09
right before that, uh you know Quinn Carter had a long career there too.
48:14
So yeah, they they enjoy uh and I think did they have Cody
48:19
Ford for they had one of the offensive linemen for from that more Joe Moore
48:23
for a bit too, So I mean I would like to see more of
48:25
those cats come over. So but yeah, it's uh, it's uh yeah,
48:30
that that is pretty elite with with with Mims doing what he did and
48:36
ye, it's it's he is Uh, when he ran that forty and you
48:42
know, it cloaked, it clocked you know where it did. That was
48:45
very very surprising. But yeah, he needs he's gonna be able to step
48:49
up and if he can stay healthy. That's been the that's been the only
48:52
thing that stopped most of our big time receivers in the NFL. It has
48:57
been has been injuries because he the you know what, and he's bawling out.
49:04
But you've got guys like Broils and uh you know, uh Sterling Shepherd,
49:09
you know, injuries. Injuries. Injuries. Yeah, no, that
49:14
that is Yeah, the injury bugs not something can be avoided if it decides
49:17
to attack you and bite you. It seems to attack and bite you.
49:21
But at the same time, the other thing to be excited about it there's
49:23
a lot Sooner still there on that roster. Yeah, continue to cheer,
49:28
which is what this podcast is about. As Sooner. It's not the NFL.
49:31
Sorry, guys, it's fine to get the ran. Off season content.
49:37
YEAHO just decides to leave me there he is. Off season content is
49:43
we're just trying to figure out what to talk about. Right. We're at
49:45
the point where it's quiet, it's it's it's a but at the same time,
49:51
I'm hoping we can get more Sooners out there to Tampa Bay to work
49:52
with Baker. That's kind of what I'm hoping for. So all right,
49:57
let's look comments good anything. Yeah, Cody Ford is with the Bengals.
50:01
He never went to Denver. He was actually in Buffalo and in Arizona for
50:05
a year. But yeah, there, I don't think it was Cody Ford.
50:08
There was somebody else. There was somebody else that was there. But
50:13
the good thing is Benito was still there doing it. Now. Oh yeah,
50:16
there are a lot of Sooners going to Casey, So yeah, that's
50:22
kind of a That's another place, especially because Andy Reid and them just loves
50:27
what beating Bow does an offensive lineman, and so I anticipate one of our
50:30
offensive line to get drafted there to be right behind. Hell, we may
50:32
see Andrew Raim go there. That'd be fascinating. M I don't know if
50:38
I'm Andrew, If I'm Andrew Raam, I don't want to go o there
50:42
because I'm never never taking greed spot. I'd go there just so I wouldn't
50:46
have to. I mean, make make a whole bunch of money to be
50:50
the backup to a dude that's good. Yeah, that would that would not
50:55
be bad. I'd be a bad thing. I'd gladly go be scout team
50:59
man. There's a certain level of wanting to play, but at the same
51:00
time understanding, like Blake Bill knows that he's there to be right there behind.
51:06
Yeah, he'll see and he'll show up when they need him to.
51:08
At the same time, still close to home, making a good check and
51:12
he didn't have to do too much work. I really want to be out
51:15
Chase Daniels was the job. I would have glad they have taken that journeyman
51:19
made millions just being a backup and showing up when needed, buzzing his butt,
51:22
being a basically on the scout team for everybody rightly Missouri to Ben Powers
51:31
is there now, that's what it was. I knew it was the guys.
51:37
I think Guiden might end up in Dallas. I don't think that they're
51:38
going to assign Smith. I think Tyler Guiden's a Dallas. I think he's
51:43
Dallas found and is that in the I mean that's that that's a that's is
51:46
a twenty fourth pick overall, I think is what Dallas has I've seen him
51:51
going as high as like fourteen fifteen. You know, that's a situation where
51:58
he goes first round. I don't care if it's you know, he's not
52:00
going to be in the top ten, so as long as it's in the
52:04
first round, it's just first round. Yeah. And even with that,
52:07
so talk about NFL Draft coming up, Tyler Goeydon and Sooner Cowboys. A
52:13
great question here, where do we think Guidan's gonna go. I'm gonna be
52:15
honest, Guiden's first round right. The last set of predictions I've seen was
52:21
in the twenties. Oh man, I could see him in Dallas. I
52:31
mean, with Smith bouncing out, supposedly he can end up out East twenty
52:39
four. I can totally see Dallas picking him up there. Now, that's
52:43
if he lasts a long. If he makes it to twenty four, he's
52:45
a cowboy. That's one thing I tell you Jerry Jones loves to do is
52:47
drafting offensive lineman in the first round, which he's been really good at it.
52:52
There's anything I can give to the way that Jerry Jones does things is
52:55
he's very good at getting offensive lineman defensive players. He'll get you some players
53:00
that's gonna be efficient. Problem usually is that, yeah, everything else around
53:05
the organization is dysfunctional enough. But I can totally see him going to Dallas
53:09
at twenty four. If he goes earlier, he could end up. I
53:13
mean, Pittsburgh kind of needs a quarterback, but they'd be dumb taking a
53:15
quarterback at number twenty. That that's a number. I've always had a rule
53:22
around quarterbacks. Don't draft a quarterback after ten or before thirty. It's usually
53:27
those dudes in the middle. Just just always never last. Do do very
53:30
well. You got a couple here and there, but if you if you
53:36
can't get them at if you can't get him at ten, nobody else is
53:40
probably gonna pick him at until after thirty, Right, go ahead and trade
53:45
into number thirty, thirty one or thirty two, get that extra five fifth
53:49
year, but make them as a project and got a good chance. But
53:52
I can see Geyton going twenty twenty one in that range. Like I said,
53:57
I definitely can see him end up at the Cowboys. So they do
54:00
what I say. I say, the Cowboys, Yeah, yeah, that's
54:05
it. I you know, I look at Rain and Ralphs as being day
54:12
I mean in the day two, but most likely Day three guys. Most
54:16
I mean it's it's probably vast you know, highly likely. They're both going
54:21
to be you know, Rals is going to be big, strong, impressive,
54:24
He's going to have good technique. They're going to have a good idea.
54:28
You know, he's gonna have a good idea with Stanford education. People
54:30
are going to believe that he's going to you know, not be rattled and
54:34
be intelligent. Rain. I mean, Rain has pretty much been a guy
54:40
who's been hampered by injuries most of his career at Oklahoma, and now you
54:45
saw his last two years he stayed healthy and it was good. So I
54:47
mean like there's a there's a conversation to be said that you know, he
54:52
can continue to get stronger and stronger and stronger because of of that, of
54:58
that capability, he only has to folks on football. So I think he's
55:00
a he's a steal that you can get in the six or seven. You
55:04
know, if you get him in the fifth round, I think he ends
55:06
up being pretty good. I think if you get Ray in the sixth or
55:08
seventh round, there's a chance that you could have quite a steal. No,
55:12
I agree with you there. I think if if you can steal him
55:15
late in the draft. Yeah, him Walter Ross as well, which I
55:19
think Rals is probably gonna end up being. I think he's a Day two
55:22
guy. I'm sensing late day to early day three somebody. There's good opportunity
55:30
for him to go in a better spot than expected, right, I mean
55:34
I could, he could, he could sneak into I heard his combine was
55:37
good. He could sneak into the third, third round. But I'm thinking
55:43
late day too, early day three, and I see him and Rain going
55:47
around the same spot, not too far from each other. But Rain would
55:51
definitely be a steal if you could snatch him up late, right, he'd
55:53
be a project. But at the same time, he's got enough work ethic.
55:58
Can you understand the tree that he's he can make it happen. And
56:00
I like this. I like this Tampa Bay picking him up, that would
56:05
be good. We could use a center in Tampa, right, We could
56:09
use some extra depth there. And if Rame can work his way up now,
56:13
that would be an awesome story of a quarterback and a center from Oklahoma
56:17
together. And then I you know, there's another player that I think a
56:24
lot of people are saying, here's my thing. If Drake Stoops can somehow
56:30
get drafted in the top five rounds, that's great for him. If he
56:34
falls to six or seven, I think it's not as good. I'd like
56:37
to see him hit up a as a free agent because then he kind of
56:40
gets to make his choice, because you know, I could see him going
56:45
through several places. You know, Drake could do a lot of you know,
56:50
a lot of good in the slot for former quarterbacks, for you know,
56:52
from Oklahoma. So whether he ends up at Tampa Bay or Arizona,
56:57
I mean, heck, Jalen hurts Are would love somebody you know over the
57:00
middle, you know, route running. Uh, you know it's gonna be
57:04
it's gonna be good. I just don't cowboys and center cowboys. I understand,
57:07
I I I you know, I don't think that he gets drafted.
57:12
I think that would stay pretty good for him because this is a pretty uh
57:15
there's a lot of receivers in this draft. There's there's quite quite a few.
57:19
So if you need a guy that can be in over the middle,
57:22
I mean I've always said to the Patriots would be great, but that's a
57:28
different game now. So but yeah, I'd like to see him go somewhere,
57:32
you know, more of a West Coast feel. You know, I'm
57:35
sure Shanahan could use the hell out of him out there in San Francisco.
57:39
Yeah, I will be honest. If Drake doesn't get drafted in the first
57:45
five round, I'd rather him be undrafted free agent. That way, he
57:49
can quote unquote shoes where he wants to go, and I bet you he
57:52
ends up in a much better situation. Somebody's gonna take a flyer on him,
57:57
like he's gonna end up at camps, and when he gets to camps,
57:59
he's gonna show out because he's that in the league of a route runner.
58:01
He's gonna get somebody's gonna give him the opportunity. And once he gets
58:06
the actual opportunity, I sense that he'll end up sticking to somebody's roster market
58:13
today, he'll be in the NFL roster next season. I don't know.
58:17
Yeah, somebody's gonna take a flyer on him and want to see him practice,
58:21
se him running raft and be like, oh, Okay, this dude
58:23
is a lot better than I thought. I mean, especially after what he
58:25
was doing at some of the at the Senior Day, Senior Game or whatnot.
58:30
The Senior Bowl. He was he was putting dudes in a blender.
58:34
And the bigger thing is is that how good is he is? What we
58:39
ask? Right? You know? We we we wonder what what who?
58:45
Who's gonna really believe in him and give him that chance? And the bomb?
58:49
Thank you man, you've been giving out memberships and stuff. I got
58:52
some membership member content coming very soon, which is really good. I know
58:54
I've been slacking. That's on me. I got some content coming, So
58:58
I appreciate that bomb. Thank you for the fifty Yes, I agree.
59:02
I think that Drake has a great opportunity to make something happen, right,
59:06
I think he does. Somebody's don't give him a shot? Rue, You
59:09
asked the question about Bothroyd Man, I don't know his his last the season
59:17
here was he graded fine? It was not as exciting. He had a
59:24
lot of pressures, but yeah, he had a lot of pressures. He
59:29
grated well. But the same time, I've talked about this, you know
59:30
before at Nauseum, we dealt with a lot of we dealt with a lot
59:36
of max protecting because of that, you know that that kind of hinders what
59:42
you're trying to do when it comes to pass rush, right, It's it's
59:45
hard to get around that. Everybody's got basically two people after on him.
59:47
So but besides that, yeah, I do see I can see bo Throy.
59:53
I see bo THROI late, he more most likely is going to be
59:58
a A. I think he'll be in a being an undrafted signee somewhere and
1:00:04
actually playing from there. So who else that's in this draft that makes sense?
1:00:15
I mean, you know we've got we got a little something that's different
1:00:22
because with so many people returning that could have left that. I mean,
1:00:28
you've got Billy Bowman, Danny Stutsman, uh de John Terry, Uh,
1:00:32
you know, Davon Sears. You've got so many people. I don't think
1:00:37
little. I mean I think he's undrafted free agent. I think he makes
1:00:39
it somewhere, uh just because uh yeah, yeah yeah. But it's Here's
1:00:49
what I know is is right now you can look at what is on this
1:00:54
roster and in the SEC. We need to be Cindy at you know,
1:01:00
around ten at minimum every single year to the you know, to to the
1:01:06
combine and sending them through you look at you know, you looked going into
1:01:12
this year like I don't know really who is going to be that guy.
1:01:15
I mean we thought, you know, if Geyton had another great year,
1:01:20
there there it is. But you've got so many, so much great talent
1:01:23
in the defensive backfield, in our safety room. You know you've got it.
1:01:28
And I know that. Uh, I know that family just came in
1:01:30
here. But you look at a guy like Reggie Powers coming to this team.
1:01:37
That is an embarrassment of riches. I mean we I will never give
1:01:40
up on this. Brandon Hall is right behind Emma Jones and uh and then
1:01:45
javel I same thing. But these guys, it is going to be hard
1:01:50
to keep these guys here. It is absolutely gonna be hard because you've got
1:01:57
a phenomenal wide receiver room going and gets a phenom little defensive back room and
1:02:00
those guys are gonna sharpen each other. So I am so excited about that.
1:02:05
But yeah, you're gonna see guys. Uh. You know, Gentry
1:02:07
Williams is probably going to be the beginning next year, I think, because
1:02:13
I think Gentry Williams is a first round tape type talents. I don't know
1:02:16
if Bowman or or Stutsman can get in the first round, but after that,
1:02:22
you're gonna start seeing more and more and more guys, because I mean,
1:02:25
I mean, you just got I got to just look at the you
1:02:28
know, the athletic freaks that we have in the safety room. Yep.
1:02:34
And so good question here by Sinder cowboys fresh and most excited about to see
1:02:38
both mine on one defensive side. Is gonna be powers as well as Jane
1:02:44
Jackson. Right, I talked with, We talked with Colin Kennedy dropped that
1:02:47
video yesterday. Go check that out and you actually see it in a description
1:02:52
as one of the recommended videos. But Colin was talking about how, of
1:02:58
course everywhere he goes he talks about powers. I do it too. I
1:03:00
talk about him a lot. I try not to talk about him as much
1:03:02
now because he was literally the one I talked about the most coming moving up
1:03:06
at the Snoot Hall. And yeah, spring football starts tomorrow, so you
1:03:09
know, we dump jump into that before we wrap it up. Bro,
1:03:15
it's gonna be fun hearing the stories of people of the helmet's cracking. Right,
1:03:19
it's not I wood that we stay healthy. We all know Stoney's gonna
1:03:22
be good big time. Right. We already know he walked in with that
1:03:25
biggest thing with him is just getting his weight up, and he said that
1:03:28
himself get his weight and maintain his speed and ability. The same time,
1:03:34
Daniel Koyer the same thing, right. The twenty four class, that's the
1:03:37
class. This class, part of Team one point thirty, is just absurdly
1:03:43
talented. And we did a great job refreshing. And you mentioned this early
1:03:47
and I wanted to jump on that in I'm a pass it back from you
1:03:51
before we wrap up this class come in in twenty five. I do anticipate
1:03:55
to be a little bit smaller than normal, mainly because, well, the
1:04:00
good thing for us, first off, we've got a lot more commitments now
1:04:03
than we did the last couple of years because all these kids weren't trying to
1:04:09
get their spaces right. They recognize that, okay, you could take unlimited
1:04:15
kids, no need to worry. When we were starting the twenty five recruiting,
1:04:18
it was at a ooh, let me get my spot and get my
1:04:21
place now. Because I want to play this as a committable offer. I'm
1:04:24
gonna go ahead and commit now. That way, I don't have to worry
1:04:27
about this or worry about if somebody else decides to come through and try to
1:04:30
compete for my recruitment spot well after they announced that twenty twenty five in going
1:04:40
forward, the amount of kids you've recruited still indefinite. That is why you're
1:04:46
now seeing it slow down on the commitment side. Don't be afraid to think
1:04:50
that, oh, people are second guests. No, it's more so now
1:04:54
that it's beneficial that you can recruit up to eighty five kids in your class.
1:05:00
Everybody's slowing it down. They're like the slow down. I don't need
1:05:02
you, don't need to fight for a spot, because we've got time.
1:05:04
If we're gonna take you, we're gonna take you. But I do anticipate
1:05:08
with the limited number of scholarships we've got, we're gonna not take as many
1:05:12
kids as we did before. Right, it's gonna be things are gonna slow
1:05:15
down in that capacity. So I I sense that that's what we're gonna see
1:05:20
going forward. I sense that it's gonna be we'll start seeing the commitments come
1:05:27
through April. We probably see a couple in April. You may see a
1:05:30
couple going in May. I think the bulk of our commitments will be in
1:05:34
July or June at the weekends, and in July it's gonna just blow up
1:05:40
and we'll see business. So be excited about that. As we go into
1:05:45
this spring game, though, who who's the two that jumps out to you
1:05:48
that they really gets you excited? I mentioned powers in Jay and Jackson.
1:05:53
This entire class excites me because there's so many kids a year that's gonna be
1:05:57
able to participate this year. Yeah, it's not it's not fair. I
1:06:02
mean, but like you know, there's somebody that whoever you say, don't
1:06:10
forget about, don't forget about that, Like it's yeah, okay, so
1:06:16
freaking Danny, Yeah, Nigel listen. Nigel's like, my buddy, Danny.
1:06:25
I asked him, are you for real up twenty two pounds already?
1:06:28
And he's like yeah, man, just trying my best. And I was
1:06:30
like, bro, he goes, I didn't even know. And so like
1:06:34
again when we say, like some of these guys don't even know what they
1:06:38
are yet, like like Danny has been playing with I mean homeschool kids,
1:06:45
Like it's not I mean he has he is the Like again, if you're
1:06:50
going to try to stretch yourself, it's hard to stretch yourself when you're hurting
1:06:56
folks, Like I'm not going to go test out my basketball prowess against uh,
1:07:00
you know, my daughter's eight and under team, Like that's not going
1:07:02
to be it because I'll never be able to see how good I really am.
1:07:08
Yeah, so I would just Zion Kearney. Everybody forgets about him and
1:07:12
uh uh Power senior there just said that we're forgetting about this guy quite often.
1:07:18
Yeah, huh we do, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
1:07:24
so many kids that we carry on like, oh yeah carry on. Is
1:07:31
still he's in the Mark Andrews predicament right now? Is uh all? How
1:07:36
close up to the line of my wide lining up for my route there?
1:07:40
Coach? Uh? And then why is uh you know, why is Joe
1:07:44
John Finley always around here with when when you're talking to me their coach showones?
1:07:48
You know, So I'm hoping that that's an issue. But yeah,
1:07:51
I mean you've got uh we always forget about and he's not even on campus
1:07:56
yet design ragents, Like, I mean, this is a guy who is
1:07:59
going to just fly around and then yeah, you know, and I see
1:08:03
like as soon as legends talking about down here is when you when you listen
1:08:08
to a Koya talk like I'm excited to see what Danny becomes not because of
1:08:12
my relationship with him, but like, I'm excited because I think that he
1:08:15
is going to peel layer by layer back the longer he's in school and start
1:08:19
realizing who he is. And then x x X rob is the other one
1:08:27
that is the one that I like. Do you understand that with Xavier Robinson,
1:08:32
if he turns out to be I mean, just a guy that transfers
1:08:39
out, I wouldn't be surprised. If he turns out to be Derrick Henry,
1:08:42
I wouldn't be surprised. So I just don't know what he's like.
1:08:47
Where do something like what does Boganowski even become? Like? There are so
1:08:50
many different pathways for so many of these different guys, because I mean,
1:08:56
I made the comment, how would you like to be one of the backup
1:09:00
linebackers for Maine? And then here comes Xavier Robinson. You know, when
1:09:04
you're already down seventy two to nothing and Xavier Robinson comes through and then just
1:09:11
puts you on your backside after you've played this entire game and got your butt
1:09:14
kicked. You know, there's just so many different you know, great things.
1:09:18
So just for the spring game, I mean, Zion Kearney is the
1:09:21
number one, and I want to see x Rob get out there with some
1:09:25
athletes and see what happens. Man, let me see who else out there.
1:09:30
And I feel like I'm cheating on I'm cheating on twenty five other players
1:09:35
by not saving life. It was good. Thanks for pointing this out.
1:09:41
Tatum's not here yet, EPL won't be here yet as well. They're both
1:09:45
going to be in the summer due to other sports shop running frick a track
1:09:49
right, which is crazy. Yeah, But and Epa also goes to a
1:09:51
school where you can't early and early yeah, Florida, Yeah, which is
1:09:57
kind of fascinating. That Nesta's here and he's doing baseball early. That was
1:10:05
intriguing. When I saw that, I'm like, oh, he's gonna be
1:10:09
doing not quite sure. Figured he was gonna play finish high school. But
1:10:14
at the same time, in his talent level, he didn't need to.
1:10:15
I was concerned about this summer when he goes into draft, depending if he
1:10:18
goes up too high, we may, you know, he may take the
1:10:21
money and go play professional baseball because he's that good, or he may take
1:10:25
a couple of years and wait for it. We'll see. But yeah,
1:10:30
I'm interested by that. Uh, Jason, I've never had that thought,
1:10:34
but I am now a massive advocate. I would love to see x Rob
1:10:41
come on and Nornerry come flying out there late in the game and him just
1:10:46
ex Rob just put him on his ass. I mean that would be poetic
1:10:50
and beautiful. That's what we're here for. Yep, and those two our
1:10:56
roommates. Thanks Pops, I love did you put Dad on there too?
1:11:00
Always cracks me up, Junior, and they're like, wait, but forget
1:11:03
Reggie Powers is the third, right, he's for some reason? Yeah for
1:11:09
so yeah, yeah, he's our three. So that's that's what always freaks
1:11:12
me out because I know that this is our current player's father on here.
1:11:15
And but there's what's it like for every new memory or thought you have,
1:11:20
something else has to leave. Mind's like a sieve. So yeah, so
1:11:28
exactly. But the good thing is is that there wouldn be roommates. They're
1:11:30
probably fighting. So anyway, we got a little long. We're gonna go
1:11:39
ahead and wrap this bad boy up. Put a ball in and thank you

1:11:51
and we're gonna go ahead and let him go. Hang on that. We've
1:11:56
been on for about like an hour and hour fifteen, so we got a
1:12:00
little longer than normal. But we'll have some more this Wednesday. I anticipate
