    POST-PRACTICE BLITZ: Sourced Sooners Intel, Stock Buys + Rebutting Finebaum’s OU Top-10 Slander... I don't like the "Stock Buys" Needs to be Whose Stock is up in fall camp

Brandon breaks down the latest offensive-line configuration, center reps, player availability, practice standouts and young Sooners making legitimate moves.

    ROSTER TALK: Could Sooners’ 2026 Team Produce a RECORD NFL Draft Haul? | OU GM Jim Nagy Thinks So!

    Could Oklahoma’s 2026 roster produce a RECORD number of NFL Draft picks? Sooners general manager and longtime NFL scout Jim Nagy believes OU could have between 10 and 14 players selected in the 2027 NFL Draft—potentially challenging the program’s modern-era record of 11 selections in 2005. We take a closer look at Nagy’s eye-opening projection and break down the Sooners who could hear their names called: 🔥 Which Oklahoma players currently look like legitimate NFL prospects? 🔥 Who could play his way into the draft with a breakout 2026 season? 🔥 Which underclassmen could declare early? 🔥 Could OU realistically reach—or surpass—11 selections? 🔥 What would that kind of draft class say about the Sooners’ championship potential? From proven veterans and established stars to potential breakout players, Oklahoma’s roster may contain considerably more NFL talent than the national media realizes.
