Adding Jay just got u another follow. Love his shows. Him and Coop are up there with the best IMO
Great having you on the show, Jay Smith!
The Longhorns are the Team for the next several years. Sit down OU.
That’s what Oklahoma did to Xavier Worthy at the one yard line.
@@LockedOnSooners OU has a 2nd rate head coach.
@@mwmann that second rate head coach got to 10 wins in two seasons. It took Sark 10 seasons to reach 10 wins. Sark’s career win% .592 Venables career win% .615
@@LockedOnSooners It's good to believe in your coach and team. But you have my condolences.
Where are we getting this #5 class from?
247Sports. Overall No. 5, in the SEC, No. e
@@LockedOnSooners3! Gotcha John 👍🏾 lol
Always blows my mind how much Bowen gets looked over.. easily the most talented kid in the room but bc there’s a kid from Oklahoma at the same position, he doesn’t get talked about.. wild
We’re expecting big things, but I don’t know if he’ll start this year. He and Billy play similar spots. RSJ is more of a box safety.
Love the chemistry in the new line up. Old was good. But this is fire🔥
Thanks Lance!
@@LockedOnSooners Most welcome my Boomer Brothers!
Jay can say some odd things though and do t even know where he is getting some of the info he spouts because it’s so off from the guys who are actually glued in much more than he is. Maybe it’s to be different to sure but definitely some strange takes at times.
@@RyanMcKinney-ge9uz Yea maybe be so. I don't really see that. But that's the chemistry. You don't an echo chamber you want some out if the box thoughts to stir conversation. So I'm cool. I enjoy physical listening and eye responding etc. Its goooood real gooooooood!
Glad jay is in the podcast now, but what happened to Josh? Why isn’t he in it anymore?
Josh stepped away from the show to spend time with his soon to be wife.
@@LockedOnSooners Good plan. Set that firm foundation on the rock.
We will lose Brandon Hall first....his recruiting is insane
Either him or chavis
Not anytime soon. Maybe 3-5 years from now
No question Painkillers are dangerous and unintentionally becoming addicted can happen before you know it. All it takes is 10 days of PK use to become addicted and as we are all wired differently, some people are just more sensible and susceptible to addiction whether abuse is something intended or not. Giving kids painkillers for recovery should be very very limited and only used in special circumstances. That said, monitoring cannabis intake is t easy either and let’s remember that even in OK you still have to be 21 to consume cannabis legally so we are t talking about a bunch of 17 year olds smoking down all day and it being ok. Ive used cannabis for over 30 years but it does affect people differently. Being so, there still are important aspects of marijuana consumption that needs to be monitored. That said, I find it hard that a BV led team would prescribe cannabis but allow the consumption of it. Just because the NCAA will no longer punish kids over it doesn’t mean each team won’t have their own rules regarding it.
John here. I’m certainly not against it.
Its one thing when the coaches no the defensive mindset,,,but u get ah couple yrs of players who also understand as well,,,,there able to reach the minds of the younger players as well,,,cant wait bby going to surprise lot of ppl
Great show guys 💯💪🏽Boomersooner
Appreciate it men
It is not relevant..when the recruiting sites over rank bama and Georgia players.. not that there aren't good players coming from them states.. but every year them two state do not have as many five stars as the sites say...
GA produces a shitload of high school talent every year. If all them players are so overrated why do dogs and gumps keep winning like they do? If them dudes aint all that uga and bama should lose a few every year.
They will both contribute and learn.
Every college in Texas is mad rn. We hate UT more than Oklahoma ever will
Idk bout that.
Ehhhhhh I don't knoowww
That ranking by Bud did NOT include transfers. He also did one with transfers. In that one a couple of SEC teams jumped the sooners. Namely texass and LSU. Sooners still top 10 but #5 in SEC pecking order. a7m dropped down to #10.
Take the transfers out though as teams recruit the portal so much differently and depending on your current roster and spots you need that transfer talent at determines what kind of talent you go after. We needed a DT for experience yes but also production at the toughest position to find players. What did we do? Went out and landed one of the best portal prospects available. The high school ratio is what’s important because those players are also going to be around 3-4 years and more of a representation of the quality of team you have rather than different portal prospects coming in each year.
@@RyanMcKinney-ge9uz If you are going to rank a roster you have to include the ENTIRE roster. Days of kids waiting till 3rd year to see the field are long gone. Plenty hit the portal if they don't play as freshmen.
I'm sorry, but any Oklahoma fan that thanks they have a shot at the title this year is completely delusional.
I guess we’ll find out won’t we.
@@LockedOnSooners 8-4 Is my prediction for this season.
@@BranDZ7nothing less than 10-2
I'm delusional until proven different.
@@bigdoggjones4977 Bet you listen to steven tyler sing dream on every night.
🎉
Jay is a cool dude, I love his channel, but what happened to Josh Helmer?
Josh stepped away at the end of May to spend more time with his soon to be wife and have more time for his other pursuits.
@@LockedOnSooners gotcha! Thanks for the update! I wish him all the best in what life has in store for him! He will be missed for sure but completely understand! Jay is a great person to take his side of the video screen!
I REALLY hope that all of our new SEC brothers will join us in throwing HORNS DOWN, every time they play TexASS!!!!
The OU hype machine is in full effect.
we need to call them proTexas. if you don’t believe austin pays for pr, there’s this.
Great move in getting Jay on your show John. You 2 are going to make a great team. As far as the cannabis, I can speak from personal experience. I am a stage 4 cancer patient, cancer metastasized in my L2 and the tumor put stress fractures in the L2 which was very painful the oncologist recommended opioids. I decided to use gummies to help manage the pain and now that the fractures are gone it was easy for me to stop using the gummies. Looking forward to more great shows Boomer Sooner
John here. There are 100% effective uses for it as a pain control method. My thoughts on it are just make it recreational with how easy it is to obtain a prescription.
@@LockedOnSoonersthanks John appreciate your feedback
Yup, PG, Jay, John, Teddy and Gabe are who I look for when watching Sooner material.
@@LockedOnSoonersthe state is already the stomping grounds of the marijuana industry. That would just make it 10x worse. They gotta make it federally legal
@@LockedOnSoonersno it would make it harder and more expensive for the people who need it for medical l. It’s a medicine that works better than pills, don’t make it rec. that would make the quality drop and having additives like thc a which is a chemical. Might as well leave it natural
Complete delusion to think OU wins it all with that tough of a schedule.
Bama not winning the championship. Oklahoma is a better team than Bama with Brent Venables. Oklahoma is 3-2 vs Bama.
Saban gone 🤡
@@ROUGHNECK75 didn't say they were son. 🤣 I'm not delusional lol
@ROUGHNECK75 And Bama hired a better coach then OU tho 😄
@@__B--MAN__BV has 3 natties. What?
We are 6th in blue chip ratio. Texas is 7.
NOT when transfers are added in.
Transfers aren’t included in the 247 blue chip index. They go over this in the article
@@andrewrogers2313 The dudes doing the podcast referenced CBS sports and Bud Elliot. NOT 247. In Bud's article if you read to the end he has a list that INCLUDES transfers. On that list both LSU and texass are both rated higher than uo.
Not a OU fan but why wouldn’t they have a chance they are always among the top teams. They always have big time offensive players and they fixed the issue with the defense.
People think Lincoln Riley is the coach still
Might want to check level of competition they faced in the xii as opposed to what's waiting in SEC. Also compare the recruiting rankings the last few cycles between the SEC and xii. That might answer your WHY question.
@user-xp6qd4sk1j I will say SEC has strongest conference. But the bottom half really brings it down. SEC is top loaded. 4 good teams every year 2 of em national title contenders
@@zachpangus7584 Define the term "good teams"? KY beat a louisville team that played in ACCCG. Vols beat an iowa team 35-0 that played in BIG CCG. Mizzou beat tOSU. Weebels beat penn state. Top 6 in SEC are usually pretty damn good. All of them. The 7-8 teams have their moments too. That doesn't even take auburn and gators into the mix. Both have won titles since sooners won its last. Gators have multi titles.
Thank you!
They might win the national championship in women's gymnastics or softball but I don't see it happening in football
As an auburn a fan I have no doubt that Oklahoma will be great in the sec just not sold that it is this year. being talented in the sec does not mean everything. Auburn usually finishes in the top 10 or right there at in the sec. In recruiting And even in our on division that puts us 4th behind lsu, Texas A&M and Alabama. Not to mention we play Georgia every year. And I think the only reason why texas is getting more buzz then Oklahoma is qb.
issue with Auburn is they haven't had a stable QB room in a while and they especially haven't had a consistently good coach since 2017
You think Auburn is better than Oklahoma? He'll no. Your a 🤡
@@justinthomas7313 As a Sooner fan, I have nothing but Respect for Jordan (Jurden)Hare Stadium 🏟️ and know full well how difficult it is on any given Saturday.
@@ROUGHNECK75 Never got that vibe from what he posted.
@user-xp6qd4sk1j I wasn't trying to post that here. I was trying to post it somewhere else. I wasnt paying attention what I was doing.
6 Deep is Key down here in the SEC
😂😂😂 Y'all need to quit drinking down there. 6 deep 😂😂
If you have to replace your guys every other game y’all are charmin soft
Everybody saying Oklahoma not ready for the SEC down here in South Carolina. They don’t know what’s coming The Boom is Coming.
Right on! I think our Sooners will surprise a bunch of naysayers. Besides, we're WAY overdue.
As much as i want a 11 win season I seee realistically 8-9. Not bad for the first year in the sec they have a nice class so far for next year they will have a vet team and with the same in conference schedule of the big dogs in the SEC they will 100% be a playoff lock. But I can’t see it this year they will need Bama, Mizzou, UGA, LSU and a team I’m high on this year FLA all to have 2 losses at least to be in play and that’s just not gonna happen for teams like MIZZOU who avoided some SEC top dawgs and have a easy schedule(for sec) or Bama who’s gonna be better than people expect, UGA might be back again for 11-12 wins. Year one under hopefully a sooner staff that will stay long enough to mold will show success
Well South Carolina hasn’t been ready for the SEC… and they’ve been in it for like a 100 years!
Exactly correct Building that Foundation baby
All starts on the recruiting trail.
1:16
Arnold takes a deep shot to Gibson ... Touchdown Sooners!
I won't feel good until the O-line can prove they know how to consistently block.
Check the 💍💍💍💍 BOOMER!
10-2 makes the playoff. And with NIL controlling recruiting, 0% chance at a Natty.
Tommy Harris started day 1.
And a number of people had the expectation that Stone would
What happened to the other person who was on with you all the time
Josh resigned from the show to be able to spend more time with his soon to be wife.
Glad you added Jay! You did good carrying the show but I’m sure it was hard to do solo. Jay is an awesome addition.
Don’t take for granted, the red shirts on the roster, who waited patiently for their turn in the eight incoming freshmen that are some of the highest rated recruits to come to Oklahoma
Never compare anyone to Tommie Harris only one in Sooner history that can compare is the greatest of all time Lee Roy Selmon
Gerald McCoy
With respect, when they haven’t added a player of that caliber in more than a decade, we’re hungry for it
@blacinjin8124 I'm sorry I saw Tommie Harris from the first time he as a true freshman played. I've NEVER seen anyone like him. He was so dominant that after his freshman season he was double and sometimes triple teamed EVERY play. Nobody has ever demanded that much attention. Even after his groin injury he was still double teamed. There will never be another Tommie Harris
That’s what I say!
With how big and athetic these kids are these days, never say never! But trust me im on board with your take tommybwas in a league of his own smh lol@chestercarter6081
Where's Jay? Thought he was going to be on the show from now on?
Power outage in OKC metro created technical difficulties. He’ll be on the show daily.
Jaden Jackson will be the big impact freshman, imho. All actual signs point to him in the immediate future. Stone may get there or even surpass him (higher ceiling) at some point but not at the start.
I look for Jackson to be as big a splash. That duo will continue what they did at IMG together.The starters will be the cream that rises to the top, and it may change as the year progresses, injuries or not.
Gm Big Love Boomersooner let's go can't wait for the season
🐎
congrats Jay!!
Congrats Jay‼️💪🏽👀Let’s G⭕️‼️
Love this combo. Been listening to both of y’all for the last year or so.
Earlier in the pod you guys said OU doesn't recruit based of NIL....then 5 minutes later your said this new collective is gonna help sweep all the OL left on the board...well you said help you get 2 or 3. Which is not gonna happen. I give John credit for saying 1 is more realistic.
It’s not ALL about NIL, but they’re definitely using it.
