    Why we brought Parker Thune onboard, some football, some diamond talk

    It's the first Unofficial 40 podcast since we hired Parker Thune. Carey and the guys talk a little bit about how things happened behind the scenes and whether or not it was a unanimous decision to make the hire. And why it is we ultimately believed it was the best thing for SoonerScoop and our subscribers. We're headed to the re-imagined Sooner Caravan tonight in Oklahoma City where we'll hear from OU administrators and coaches. What do we think we will hear? Some votes from the coaches on what they would like to see the regular and postseason look like moving forward. What do the guys think about eliminating conference championship games and shortening the season? OU softball is about to have their first game in the SEC tournament. How do we feel about OU's chances of making a run to another title? And is the baseball team in trouble? Josh gives us an update on what the latest is with OU football recruiting.

    Burks' fall in the draft, Tech's gambling QB, recruiting flip flop

    The gang is back to talk about last weekend's NFL Draft. There were some head scratchers like Deion Burks falling late in the 7th round and Damonic Williams not getting drafted at all. George has the latest on Owen Heinecke as his lawyers were able to get a filing by the NCAA thrown out due to technical errors. The NCAA is looking to add way too many teams to March Madness. We might have to move it to April Madness. And what about this blockbuster news of Texas Tech's quarterback and NIL darling being in hot water over incredible gambling activity? We've got the latest in recruiting and some stickball updates to go with our NFL Draft talk. Welcome back!

    U40: Looking at NFL Draft futures for OU football's roster

    George's X account has been hacked and it was probably his fault. But the gang is here and we're talking about the NFL Draft and where we could see OU's best getting drafted. We also take a look at future draft picks on the current OU roster and we have a spirited debate whether Jayden Jackson or David Stone will go higher in the draft one of these days. We're also buying stock at a Nancy Pelosi pace when it comes to Danny Okoye. We're also wondering why the national love for Oklahoma in 2026 seems to be missing. Are we just terrible homers? Or is everyone seeing it wrong? We talk future schedule and opponent spring game takeaways. Basketball prices seem to be going bonkers in the NIL space. That certainly seems to be affecting Porter Moser's chase for talent. We also talk a little recruiting as we're all fighting to stay awake with late night NBA games keeping us up late. It's another great week to listen to the Unofficial 40!

    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!

    What do OU football, easter candy and Dianna Russini have in common?

    We are deep into spring football coming off another media scrum last night on Owen Field. Brent Venables breaks down the roster at most key positions as the Sooners are battling through some bumps and bruises. But what about positions such as safety? Is there enough depth? George has all the latest on the Owen Heinecke eligibility situation and it might be time to start pondering some what-if's about his situation. The spring game is coming and the Sooners will be hosting a huge recruiting weekend. And are the Sooners developing a type at running back? It seems they have their eyes on very specific body types moving forward. George talks women's hoops portal and we debate whether Iowa State's Audi Crooks is the player Jennie Baranczyck is really after from Ames. Some men's hoops and some baseball round us out.

    Stand outs for Scoop crew after two weeks of spring practice

    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! Enjoy! 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial 40!  12:30 - Spring football: Week 2 18:00 - LBs impressing during spring; Taylor Heim’s time is now 36:00 - OU looks much different offensively  1:00:00 - CFB Roundtable  1:26:00 - WBB wrap up; Diamond sports talk 1:40:00 - 2028 RB Micah Rhodes decommits Learn more about your ad choices.

    Our impressions after watching an hour of spring practice

    Oh man, Carey, Josh, Eddie and George get together to talk about everything they saw during OU's first spring football practice and they break down everything they saw. Tight ends, receivers, defensive line, offensive line, newcomers, coaches, people who got chewed out, people who looked good. It's just a cavalcade of observations from day one. And Carey has some opinions on the fascination with John Mateer's throwing motion. George has some ideas of his own. The take game is actually strong in this one as Carey kind of goes off on OU's decision to do what they're doing to the west side of the stadium. How do you see things? Women's hoops is getting ready for a Sweet 16 showdown and great news as Jen Rocha is returning to coaching for OU softball. Baseball gets set to take on Texas this week as a program at the top of the SEC following series wins against Texas A&M and LSU. What are Eddie's expectations for this weekend. All that and more in this week's edition of the Unofficial 40. THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial 40!

    A look ahead to spring football, March Madness is here

    It's the start of the NCAA Tournament and time to give our official takes on how we feel about Porter Moser returning to Oklahoma and Roger Denny's decision to keep him. The women are dancing and they will be dancing late on Friday night. We're hoping the people show up for a 9pm tip-off. And it is spring break and there is no spring football, but next week, spring football returns. We talk a little bit about the position rooms heading into spring and some of the storylines that would make us believe that things are going to go well at certain positions. We take deep dives into the offensive line and receiving rooms as we try and remind ourselves of who is gone and where they went. Carey is ready to read some reports about Taylor Tatum's safety adventures at Michigan while Eddie volunteers to go to Las Vegas to cover the Dan Mullen/Jackson Arnold duo at UNLV. And how do you like your steaks? 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial 40!  10:00 - OU hoops misses the NCAA Tourney for the fourth time in five years; Roger Denny backing Porter Moser  42:00 - Spring Football is near Learn more about your ad choices.
