Candace Parker is the best part of that show.

Gonna try the Knuckleheads. Is there a basketball pod with good, in-depth analysis that you like? Stats are fine, but I know those. I'm talking about game play strategy.

Thanks for the context. Didn't know much of this.

If a company paid me to rub on cream, I'd say thank you and cash the check. If they wanted some dude to rub it on me in a sexually suggestive way, I'd just charge them more. So would most CFP players, including UT players. Move into the 21th century.

Recruiting scandal's first casualty?

Really respect the kid for valuing family. OkSt has shown that they can put WR in the NFL. Seems like a win-win.

High school football recruiting coverage is a weird way to make a living, but we're the consumers of his work. He may very well be a weirdo, but using his social media posts as a kid to come to that conclusion is flawed. Many people don't mature after their early teens, but some do.

Yeah, what is he trying to say? Moore is listed as a WR and Barnes is RB.

I'm close to people working with them. Clownshow.

1. I *heart* Taylor 2. This would be an amazing class for OU. - Great RB, TE classes - They need numbers at WR, but may be comfortable going to the portal for them and then try to shoot the moon in 2023 - OL recruiting is weird right now. Wonder if Bedenbaugh is wounded after losing top recruits late in 2021. - Dindy-Jackson-Moore + one of Abor, Bledsoe, McClellan, Scarlet, Brown would be the best OU DL recruiting class in 15 years. - Rowe-Williams-Jordan-Spears-Jennings would be good. Would like to get another CB, Pollard seems like a great, undervalued prospect, but several schools seem confident about him. The following chart assuming OU leads where the writer says they lead and then they go 50 - 50 on the remaining recruitments. Win Loss DB G Williams M Pollard A Jordan R Spears-Jennings DL C McClellan O Abor Dindy K Jackson D Moore OL J Sexton Cam Williams J Taylor G Fitzpatrick M Agbo WR T Shettron Only 20 players, 247 composite 290, that would give OU about the 5th or 6th best class in the country with 8 top 100 guys (5 DEFENSE, 3 offense). This would be OU's best recruiting class in more than a decade (OU finished 6th in 2019 with a class of 24, 4 top 100 kids, all on offense). This would leave OU a good amount of space to work the portal for 2022 also, of course.

Offer list includes Colorado (Boulder), GT (ATL), and UVa. If he wanted to stay close to home, Baylor and SMU were options. But he chose to spend 3 - 5 years in Lawrence, Kansas.

Why are schools seemingly moving on from Chace Biddle?

And they do it well!

Here's hoping OU sneaks Kenyatta Jackson away from you too.

Nike may be a dominant player in the NIL game. If so, Jordan-brand schools may jumpman ahead (UNC, Michigan, FL, OU, plus, of course, Oregono).

Is there any concern that UT is using up all the official visit slots and won't have them available during the season? Or has the thought process changed? Is UT going to largely full by the end of the summer, or is it going to be easier to get people to pick up the tab for unofficial visits?

I taught in Houston ISD 25 yrs ago. Within the same district, there were elementary schools that spent 8k/child per year (River Oaks) and 1.5k/child per year (several 5th Ward schools). Some of those 13 year olds were 6' tall and could land a punch.

Beat me to it.

You're right! My mistake. (I take the L here @Ricky's one-hitter) When my high school basketball team beat them I think they were 3A (maybe 4A; we were 3A), and Oklahoma only had 5A classification. (As an aside, the 1600 enrollment of Choctaw HS now is bigger than the entire "town" I grew up in). Point remains. He still supposedly came out raw, stars bedamned. If, as has been suggested above, he's growing early, it's a great sign.

Gentry Williams may leave Oklahoma to go to USC. Name-image-likeness opportunities in LA appear to be the driver.

I haven't so this is welcome news.

As indicated above, OU kept recruiting Mukes because he was flexible about position as opposed to Daniels, and Rowe has indicated similar flexibility. Mukes played low level ball in Oklahoma, and apparently came in pretty raw. There's probably some value for him to learn coverage skills at safety. His body may not be ready for LB right now either. I think Isaiah Simmons is the model for all these dudes. He didn't play LB until his 3rd year at Clemson. They're not making Teddy Lehman's like they used to.

These guys are good takes regardless because of high upside. Apparently Rowe's bought into being a football player. OU's got a similar player in the 2021 class, Jordan Mukes, who appeared to be progressing rapidly in the spring. As you're aware, having a couple of amazing athletes in the back 7 gives you tremendous flexibility.

Rowe's apparently stated he'll play wherever he's needed. Owens sounds like Kendal Daniels from 2021. This is another Oklahoma high school product who who's tall, around 200 lb. OU led for him for the longest, but, apparently Daniels insisted on being a DB. A&M signed him this past February, but he portaled within a month and landed at Ok St.

What is a Tyler Owens?
