The boys are back in town as Josh McCuistion has been in studio all week and we've got another all present podcast waiting for you. It's recruiting season so this is a recruiting heavy pod. Josh gives us a preview of what to expect this weekend for the ChampUBBQ and we talk about how we think big recruiting weekends have changed with the times. We're also still in the middle of Brent Venables' football camps and offers are still going out. We give you the latest from camp. The Sooners received a couple of commitments since we last talked and Curtis Lofton is officially being hired as the General Manager of OU football. We'll talk about what that means. There have also been some arrests lately. We talk about it. And what we know or what we don't know about Nijaree Canady in the portal. We know OU is being aggressive in trying to lure here to Norman. But is the price so high that Patty doesn't want to deal with the potential disruption it could cause on the team? She kind of knows what good chemistry looks like.
