Asked Keenan some Qs as well for later in the week.

Are we about to flip David Peevy (4⭐️ DE/OLB) from USC? Here’s my conspiracy.

I know we’ve been interested in Wein, but USC offering him is interesting. We could write it off as them following what we’re doing and f***ing with us.

Orrrr, they could be preparing to lose someone. Awfully interesting that USC offered Wein, then Chavis posted that cryptic tweet, and then immediately followed that up with a retweet of a completely random 2 month old post from David Peevy’s profile.

just spitballing here…

EDIT - didn’t realize stoopsbros scooped me by a half an hour. Sue me!

Yes another Vasek thread. Don’t like it? FO.

I’ve been wanting to say this for a long time but obviously didn’t want to say it about a committed recruit.

There is a coaching rule of thumb that can be paraphrased as ‘recruiting coach’s kids can be tricky because those kids are typically coached up much more than other players and in the end closer to their ceiling than other players’. Vasek is the most technically advanced high school DE I have ever seen. He destroys his unwitting competition with high-level technical moves (spin, swim, dip&rip, etc) they are not used to seeing. Being that he is already so well coached in these techniques he is already much closer to his ceiling than the typical DE coming into college. He may very well go on to be a Hall of Famer but I can guarantee you that he is way closer already to what he will ever be than PJ or any other high school DE. He may not have that big of a jump in college where everyone is as coached up as he is. Still wish we had him. We’ll see.

Turk was wearing a rough rider helmet this week

Is DeMarion Thomas any good? I see he’s committed to Vandy, but would he be a plan D guy? Looks like we need some bodies in a bad way.

Eom

That was coming last class with R Mason but chose Miami because of NIL? I thought it was Alton Tarber but it shows he’s at OU

Well, let's all hate everything for a little while longer, ok?

Seriously, this isn't a hard batch of 'what to watch'...

Run fits, and how were they impacted by changes in the roster. I thought things got MUCH looser on the outside once Keyshawn Lawrence left but I admit, that could be my imagination.

Is there ANYONE on the defensive line winning one on ones consistently?

How did the offensive line handle Baylor's interior defensive line? I felt like that was a surprisingly lopsided matchup (not so much JUST the interior but OU's OL vs. Baylor's DL was CLEARLY an OU win and I thought it might be a bit more of a stalemate.

Finally Gabriel's picks, how avoidable were they?

And of course, we'll see what else we come across as we go.

we’ll get started shortly.

For @Eddie_Rado as the early results come in for Governor. He's currently in 5th, behind Bruno and Ervin. SAD.

If our issue on defense is experience, seeing the formations etc so that we can anticipate the play, where is the VR? If you can watch film on your own, why wouldn’t you want to see it run live in VR? I’m not talking film tackle etc, but just reading the gaps to fill against formations etc. Thad is supposed to have us on the cutting edge of player development yet we dont have something that Stanford had 7 years ago?

Not one question about WVU, but that's what happens when you're 5-4.

Story:

Not easy to listen to, but respect that man for speaking truth. First 20 minutes of the Oklahoma Breakdown are spot on. That dude is a true Sooner …

OU will receive. Enjoy.

Change my mind.

I don't know whether this speaks to insanely good development, talent or both (probably both) but this shocked me... I don't know, maybe it shouldn't have.

When Brent got to Clemson in 2012, he literally had 12 guys on his defense that would later go on to play in the NFL. Now, not all of them started that year but holy shit... that's a foundation. And most of these guys were underclassman.

• 7 DL that would later go on to play in the NFL.
  • Tavaris Barnes - Sophomore in 2012
  • Vic Beasley - Sophomore in 2012
  • Kevin Dodd - Freshman in 2012
  • Malliciah Goodman - Senior in 2012
  • Grady Jarrett - Sophomore in 2012
  • DJ Reader - Freshman in 2012
  • Carlos Watkins - Freshman in 2012
• 3 LBs that would go on to play in the NFL.
  • Stephone Anthony - Sophomore in 2012
  • BJ Goodson - Freshman in 2012
  • Tony Steward - Freshman in 2012
• 2 secondary guys that would go on to play in the NFL.
  • Beshaud Breeland - Sophomore in 2012
  • Jonathan Meeks - Senior in 2012

----------------------------------------------------------

I know this year has sucked and some are afraid the development isn't there. I would say though... I don't think Brent just suddenly forgot how to evaluate and develop talent. Now, sure some of these guys weren't scrubs to begin with but Clemson wasn't landing top 5 classes by any stretch. Their average class rank for the 4 years prior to 2012 was 19.
