Author: SoonerScoop.com December 4, 2024 Duration: 2:02:11
It's a massive podcast with so much to cover over the last few days. Ben Arbuckle was hired as Oklahoma's new offensive coordinator and then Brent Venables announced that all of Seth Littrell's assistant coaches would be retained. Are we really buying that? Or is this just a united front for signing day? And who will be OU's quarterback in 2025? Is it better to sign Washington State's John Mateer in the portal for instant chemistry? Or should the Sooners try and stick behind Jackson Arnold, mend those fences and rely on his ceiling and potential to lead the offense into 2025? Much more on Arbuckle but we take a look at signing day as well and portal season which comes next. Will the Sooners lose Michael Fasusi or Cortez Mills on signing day? Texas and Nebraska are pulling at them. We also talk some hoops after OU wins the Battle 4 Atlantis and Joe Castiglione declares his vision for the future of the football program in the age of revenue sharing.
