Took a look at the linebackers and the cheetah spot. There's so many ways both the WILL and Cheetah spots could shake out.

(Heads up, this was written before the McCullough injury buzz. There is still no official word on McCullough, but this article covers other players who will be in the mix if McCullough is out for an extended period).

Like the film here. It'll be interesting to see what kind of leap he makes as a junior. OU got their foot in the door early, so if Woods blows up, don't expect the Sooners to fade from contention.

Just wanted to update you all on Sooners four-star QB commit Jaden O’Neal.

He’s been in Norman since Wednesday night and plans on staying until Saturday evening, according to his Dad, Jerren O’Neal. If that doesn’t show locked in with OU…

As far as the event/camp went, O’Neal was the ONLY QB on hand for Sooners Under the Stars. That meant he spent a good amount of time building up an on-field rapport with all of the Sooners’ targets.

During O’Neal’s time in Norman, he made a point to really work with 4-star RB commit Jonathan Hatton and 3-star TE commit Ryder Mix. I’m told both showed out and really made a solid impression on O’Neal. I’m also told that Mix is “the real deal.” Almost everyone I have spoken with says that Mix was “uncoverable” and that he has a chance to be “special.” Very solid eval by Joe Jon Finley there.

As originally noted, O’Neal really put on his recruiting hat this weekend and, of course, made a big impression with potential 5-star DL Deuce Geralds (as noted in my pinned note) and with potential 5-star DB Brandon Arrington.

A source that I spoke with says O’Neal and Arrington “hit it off and really started to build a strong bond.” The source even added that Ryder Mix played a role there, too. Working on finding out more on Arrington and his visit, but I am told Jay Valai has been putting in work. Could there be a return for Arrington during the season? Something we hope to have more on soon.

Finally, O’Neal’s personality has been big as the Sooners look to start really pressing for their 2026 targets, so I wanted to make sure I got a note up on how things went with the 4-star and Rivals100 QB on-hand for the Sooners Under the Stars.

*** As always, more to come.

I lot of sites like to put out a visitor list, but I haven't noticed any actually following that up with a "Who made it" list.
I know not all the guys on the visitor list made it and some new ones did to Sooners under the stars.
@Brandon Drumm @Parker Thune
Would that be possible?

I believe that when Texas went into the championship series with OU they were 100% certain that they were going to beat OU. There wassn't a doubt in their minds that they were to win.

But then . . .

How is he progressing?

I have about 30 VHS tapes of OU football. There are both the 2000 and 1985 championship games; the famous 77-0 beatdown of texas a&m in 2003; 1987, 84, 86 OU - Nebraska; 2000 OU - texas a&m; 1996 OU vs texas;1984 OU - osu; some of the Big 12 Championship games and lots more.

Free to a good home.

Kid's already got offers from Georgia, Clemson and Auburn, but said Oklahoma is his top school after yesterday's visit.

Biggest impact:
More scholarships for all sports -
football 105
M/W basketball 15
baseball 34
softball 25
volleyball 18

Also - All sports will be able to give partial scholarships instead of football and basketball as head count scholarships.

Changes pending approval of the legal settlement.

Goal is implementation for 25-26.

#1 player in the country in Canady, the #2 recruiting class coming in, a bunch of transfers (5 from Louisiana following their coach), and one of the best coaches in the country. Of course that coach and those 5 players ended our record winning streak.

We don’t have an ace pitcher, but a decent staff. We have two awesome returning freshmen, the #1 recruiting class, and either the #1 or #2 transfer class (depending on how much weight Canady is given). Of course we have the GOAT Patty.

OU definitely gets the nod, but you could definitely make the argument that TT may not be all *that* far behind, given how much Canady affects the game.

One Podcast that I listen to is saying Jonah Williams has reopened his recruitment and Oklahoma is back in play for him, but I can't find it anywhere else. Have any of you heard this as well?

I want Jaren to work out and to pair his athleticism with the scheme of Zach Alley. Do we think the light comes on this year? I get irrationally angry when I see his inability to cover with his god given tools so I sure hope he's a killer this year

Such an awkward speech

Login to view embedded media Jaylon Dean-Vines, who took an OV to Oklahoma last month, released his Top-Five: Texas A&M, Vandy, Louisville, WVU, and UCF.

I'll make this very simple, Oklahoma moved on. If you have been following along to my notes posted on him over the last few weeks, it should have been easy to tell that the Sooners were going to move on.

Why is anybody not talking more about him really think he can be a big impact guys for us. He has been a starter for a long time and feels like he would have been a higher rated transfer if muleshoe hadn’t gotten his hands on him for a year.

She’s headed to Tech.

As I had mentioned previously, things had been trending this way for awhile.

OUInsider subscribers:

We are just over a month away from the Sooners' 2024 season getting underway and after a four-game home stand to begin the year, Oklahoma will take its first-ever SEC road trip to Auburn (AL) to take on the Tigers.

While I'm certain that some of you are more familiar with SEC country, this season will provide a plethora of firsts for Sooner Nation. With new destinations comes new experiences (new places to stay, eat, hang out), and I wanted to give this community a place to share, ask, post, etc., anything that might pertain to those upcoming road trips.

So, with that said, who is planning on hitting the road this fall, and to which games?

OU Road Games for 2024

at Auburn (Sep 28) — Auburn, AL
at Ole Miss (Oct 26) — Oxford, MS
at Missouri (Nov 9) — Columbia, MO
at LSU (Nov 30) — Baton Rouge, LA

Of course, the OUInsider team will be on the road at those games as well, so make sure and keep us in the loop so we can catch you guys on Gameday!

From IMG in Florida. Maybe Stone and Jackson could help get him here? Is BB trying to get this guy?

Next up in the position group series is the interior D-line. Here's a glimpse at OU's options in fall camp:
