U40: Stand outs for Scoop crew after two weeks of spring practice

U40: Stand outs for Scoop crew after two weeks of spring practice

Author: SoonerScoop.com April 2, 2026 Duration: 1:44:48
We've had three viewings and several rounds of interviews two weeks into spring football practices. Carey, Josh, Eddie and George get together to talk about the things that are standing out to them most through the second week. And there are zero April Fools shenanigans involved in this one. The defense looks good at a lot of positions. George does have concerns about one. The offense is different, and it's clear there is a mantra with the offense this spring. What about the running back room? The tight end room? The QB room? Is Bowe Bentley going to have a backup role by the time the season gets here? We talk a little bit about the shape of the SEC and college football in general. What teams could we see falling apart in 2026? Why is Vegas so down on the Sooners with win totals and point spreads? We wrap up the women's hoops season with George because OU's men start the Crown tonight. Some diamond talk and even though we did a big Recruiting Report today, we get Josh's thoughts on the decommitment of Micah Rhodes. It is a long one folks!
