U40: Getting you ready for what to watch in the Red & White Scrimmage

Author: SoonerScoop.com April 16, 2026 Duration: 1:37:42
Tons of activity this week with the spring game coming up on Saturday. We breakdown our expectations for what we'll see along with some predictions of who could step up and open some eyes this Saturday. We also heard from John Mateer and Bowe Bentley this week. What were some of our takeways and Carey and Josh join in with their thoughts. George has been killing the Owen Heinecke court room coverage and we talk about what to expect tomorrow in court for Heinecke and the OU football program. How did we get here? How did Heinecke get here? And what will the judge be presented with tomorrow that could sway him toward granting an injunction to allow Heinecke to play? We also look at the weekend through a recruiting lens with Josh and we hit on some hoops portal and stickball to close things out. * Limited Time Offer – Get Huel today with off exclusive offer of 15% OFF online with our code SOONERSCOOP at ⁠https://www.huel.com/SOONERSCOOP⁠. * For a limited time, our listeners can get the Harry's Plus Trial Set for only $10 at ⁠⁠https://www.harrys.com/soonerscoop⁠⁠. #ad #harrys Thank you to Huel and Harry's for partnering and supporting our show!
