U40: Biggest positives taken away from 4 football viewings

U40: Biggest positives taken away from 4 football viewings

Author: SoonerScoop.com April 2, 2025 Duration: 1:51:05
The gang is back in the studio together on the heels of another football practice viewing. The linebacker group appears to be stacking some depth at the position even with the losses of Danny Stutsman to the NFL and Jaren Kanak to tight end. That's because Sammy Omosigho appears to be transitioning to the MIKE linebacker spot quite well. And players continually rave about Kendal Daniels being on campus. We also got to see some one-on-one battles but the Internet commentary might have been a little over the top after people saw the video. We have observations about Ben Arbuckle, Kevin Wilson and Brent Venables and how they react to things during practices. We also talk Trae Young being named an assistant GM for the basketball program and what that job description might look like. Josh is in with the latest in the recruiting world, especially the QB position. We also take a stab at who OU might look to land in the transfer portal this spring. We are getting ready for the Final Four in men's and women's hoops and the diamond sports had some losses this weekend. A big show this week! Dive in!
