OUinsider.com/247Sports: Under the Visor Sooners Podcast

OUinsider staffers Brandon Drumm, Collin Kennedy, and Parker Thune meet for the first time in two weeks to podcast after travels all over the region. Drumm and Thune went by Texarkana (TX) to see Texas High talent and also to see big-time 2022 edge rusher and former high school teammate Clayton Smith (current OU freshman edge rusher) Derrick Brown. Thune talks about Brown and where OU stands. Drumm had a full write-up on Brown on OUinsider VIP a few weeks ago. Drumm and Thune also spent a few days in New Orleans, where they saw several Sooners targets, including five-star DB Jacoby Mathews. On the way back to OKC, the duo stopped by to see Monroe (LA) defensive back Lorenzell Dubose and elite 2023 Longview (TX) wide receiver Jalen Hale. They breakdown that trip while Collin Kennedy breaks down several Houston area targets that he saw at his offensive line and defensive line camp Kennedy put together over this past weekend. Kennedy also touches on several other recruiting topics, including the Under Armor All American Camp in Dallas. That camp was attended by the most talent Drumm and Kennedy had ever seen in one camp setting. With that came tons of Oklahoma targets and commits like four-star OU wideout commit Talyn Shettron, four-star LB target Ish Harris, big-time OKPreps defensive lineman Chris McClellan, linebacker Justin Medlock, linebacker Kip Lewis, DB Jarred Kerr, five-star OL Devon Campbell and many more that they talk about on the OUinsider podcast. The trio doesn't hold back on the Cornhuskers trying to get out of the Sooners game in Norman on September 18th and finish up the podcast talking about the Sooners hoops run to end the 2020-21 season and the fact spring football is underway! The OUinsider staffers talk about guys they are watching closely this spring and why this team could be special, and MORE!

OUinsider.com/247Sports.com staff of Brandon Drumm, Collin Kennedy, and Parker Thune talk about the Sooners ChampU22 class heating up. They also discuss what five-star ATH Raleek Brown means for the Sooners WR recruiting in 2022 going forward, who Brandon, Collin, and Parker think will be the next commitment in the ChampU22 class, and also discuss why 2023 QB target (the only QB offer OU has out in 2022 and 2023 now) Malachi Nelson is so HUGE for Lincoln Riley and the Sooners moving forward. The OUinsider staff also discusses Sooners top-10 men's basketball team and why Lon Kruger is a Hall of Fame coach. The staff touches on how/why the Sooners guard play could be the key for Oklahoma and a deep NCAA tournament run. They also discuss why they believe Austin Reaves, Brady Manek, and Kur Kuath should return to OU for the 2021-22 basketball season, as well. Along with how their return could mean another top-10 team in that season for Lon Kruger and the Sooners. Lastly, the OUinsider staff touches on their recent crystal ball picks and talk about why they predict the Sooners to have a very, very good 2022 class and beyond.

Lincoln Riley, Alex Grinch, Dennis Simmons, and the Oklahoma staff just closed out their LincUp21 class and met with the media on Wednesday. Our OUInisder.com and 247Sports staffers Brandon Drumm, Collin Kennedy, and Parker Thune talk about that presser. Also, they talk about Riley's thoughts and quotes on why the Sooners took only 16 commits and along with having five incoming transfers so far. The OU staff seems overly excited about players, and early enrollees, like Billy Bowman, Caleb Williams, Ethan Downs, Clayton Smith, Danny Stutsman, Mario Williams, and also pinpointed transfer Key Lawrence as a potential big-time player for OU in the 2021 season. Sooners assistant coach Dennis Simmons also met with the OU beat and talked about his promotion to Oklahoma outside wide receiver coach/passing game coordinator and assistant head coach. Simmons was previously the associate head coach at OU. OUinsider staff discusses why that move and promotion was big for Lincoln Riley and the Sooners moving forward, The 247sports staff also talks about why Simmons is one of the top assistants in all of college football. The OUinsider trio then talks about Big Kat Bryant and what he could be or mean for the already talented and deep Sooners defensive line. That brought on a question by Drumm as he asks Thune and Kennedy what another great DL performance in 2021 could do for the Sooners recruiting and program moving forward. That was obviously rhetorical, but he asked if it at the most critical juncture yet for OU and DL recruiting with Texas A&M and others coming around, as well? Will the SEC transfers to OU pay off in the SEC territory and recruiting if the four or five former SEC players come in and become NFL Draft picks? If so, how much can it pay off and what is the ceiling for the Sooners recruiting in the SEC territory? Can OU consistently steal elite talent out of that area? They discuss and say why they think it's possible or not possible. The staff also discusses their predictions for the next three commitments in the Sooners ChampU22 class, Raleek Brown's upcoming decision between OU and several elite P5 programs on Friday, and they talk OU hoops along with where they think the Sooners hoops team will be seeded in the NCAA tourney when their season is all said and done. Finally, the OUInsider staff discusses why a certain sect of the Sooners fanbase needs to chill and save their off-base opinions of Brendan Radley-Hiles (Bookie) after OUinsider broke the story on his potential transfer from Oklahoma the other day. The OUinsider trio talks about why Bookie will be sorely missed and why so many in the OU program (present and former) have such high-praise for Bookie. Also hear why Lincoln Riley loves Bookie as does Alex Grinch and others. Basically, the OUinsider staff gives their emotionally charged opinions on why some of the Sooners fan base is not right in their opinions of Bookie, along with his impact on the OU football program on and off the field.

The duo is also joined by 247Sports national recruiting director Steve Wiltfong and 247Sports national recruiting editor and west coast analyst Brandon Huffman. Wiltfong and Huffman help Drumm and Kennedy in breaking down the Sooners remaining targets for the 2021 class. With a bunch of 5-stars still left on the board, can the Sooners close out in a big way? Huffman breaks down the 5-star WR Emeka Egbuka saga, what the Sooners are getting in four-star DE/DL Nathan Rawlins-Kibonge. Huffman also talks about what a big hire Sooners DC Alex Grinch was for Lincoln Riley and states his opinion on what the Oklahoma Sooners brand is perceived as on the west coast. Along with Wiltfong and Huffman, Drumm and Kennedy break down their thoughts on OU 5-star targets Bryce Foster, Camar Wheaton, Tristan Leigh, and Emeka Egbuka. Drumm and Kennedy finish the podcast by discussing the Sooners matchup with West Virginia and what OU needs to do to have an impact/noticeable performance this coming Saturday in Morgantown (WV). The duo discusses what Sooners QB Spencer Rattler needs to do to rebound from a rough performance last Saturday against the Baylor Bears and how Oklahoma can get the offense back on track. They also discuss what a return of Nik Bonitto would do for the OU defense, along with their picks of this year's Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.

Sooners hit the ground running on Saturday night and came away blowing out the Texas Tech Red Raiders 62-28. It was ironic that the first game Ronnie Perkins and Rhamondre Stevenson played was the same score as the first game of their suspension. Perkins and Stevenson have been out since the College Football Playoff Semis against LSU. A game in which the Tigers beat Oklahoma 62-28. Obviously, that LSU team was one for ages, but you see the difference Perkins and Stevenson made in their returns. Sooners QB Spencer Rattler also talked about their returns and said that the team errupted when told they would be playing the night before game. That news led to Rattler telling the team "it's time we embarrass somebody" and that the Sooners did. *** In this latest OUinsider Under the Visor Podcast, we discuss the Sooners route of the Texas Tech, the play of Spencer Rattler, the mentality of wanting to 'embarrass' and opponent and what Rhamondre Stevenson and Ronnie Perkins mean to this OU program going forward. We also discuss the job Alex Grinch has done with the Sooners defense, if the Speed 'D' will be even more impressive next year and what this team COULD look like when guys like Jadon Haselwood, Brayden Willis, Delarrin Tuner-Yell, Charleston Rambo, Caleb Kelly, Justin Harrington, Marcus Hicks, LaRon Stokes, Trejan Bridges and the 2021 class gets into Norman for the 2021 season. Could this program be on the verge of having a talent pool that rivals that of Clemson and Alabama? Our guys Brandon Drumm, Collin Kennedy and Joey Helmer discuss it all! The OUinsider analysts talk how they think the Sooners class will end with four predictions on five-star RB Camar Wheaton, five-star WR Emeka Egbuka, five-star OL Tristan Leigh, and four-star OL Savion Byrd. The trio talk if they think decisions will be made by December or not with the Elite 2021 Sooners targets! Lastly, the OUinsider analysts discuss how big the pickup of 2021 four-star ATH Billy Bowman is for the program moving forward. Could it lead to more in-roads with Denton (TX) Ryan, one of the most prestigious programs in Texas High School Football?  LISTENERS: Be sure you sign-up for OUinsider VIP Board as December NSD draws closer!

Brandon Drumm was joined by OUinsider.com/247Sports colleagues Collin Kennedy, Joey Helmer and special guest, Horns247 Mike Roach, to talk the 2020 version of OU/Texas. Can either team rebound and begin to make a big run in the 2020 season? Will Sam Ehlinger return after the 2020 season and it being a free season? What will it take for the Sooners to win this game and what will it take for the Longhorns to win? Will Sooners get All-Big 12 DL Ronnie Perkins back? If so, what type of impact does he make?

How much of a role does that play, and does it help the first-time QB Spencer Rattler in a game that is notoriously hard on first-time starters in this game? How much of an advantage does Texas have with Ehlinger at the helm and his experience in the ball game?

Sooners lost their first back-to-back game in over 21 years to ISU 37-30. What's wrong with OU? Tackling is a constant issue, but can Alex Grinch and company fix it?

What about when Chris Murray gets healthy or when Trejan Bridges and Rhamondre Stevenson get to come back from suspension, too? How much will that effect the Sooners moving forward in a positive manner? Young guys playing soon make a difference? What about them tweeting about themselves being the answers?

Oklahoma Sooners coach Lincoln Riley previewed OU's 2020 spring football schedule and what he hopes to accomplish during the 15 allotted practices. He told media defensive tackle Jalen Redmond, Jon-Michael Terry, Trey Sermon and others will miss spring practices. He wasn't terribly happy about how Bill Bedenbaugh's offensive line played. Center Creed Humphrey and others will need to step up. The battle between quarterback Tanner Mordecai and Spencer Rattler begins in earnest, and Riley said he believes both of them are ready to be the starting quarterback at OU. He also mentioned Robert Barnes and Jamal Morris have moved to playing linebacker rather than safety. The big news was Baker Mayfield's Heisman statue will be revealed at OU's Red and White spring game on April 18 at 5 p.m. inside Memorial Stadium. Learn more about your ad choices.

RJ and Collin decided to draft 7-on-7 teams from the 2020 Oklahoma football spring roster. The rules are simple: One quarterback each, two linebackers each, two running backs and five defensive backs, four wide outs and a tight end-type to fill out the roster. Predictably, Collin took redshirt freshman quarterback Spencer Rattler to start. But the exercise also shows just how difficult it's going to be for OU if Rattler doesn't turn in the goods.

OUI staff writers RJ Young and Collin Kennedy chopped it up on Thursday about the Top 247 Sports 2021 football recruiting rankings. Among them are high-priority recruits that include the No. 1 quarterback and No. 1 running back in the class. With his move up to No. 6 in the overall 2021 rankings, Gonzaga College quarterback Caleb Williams is one of the top uncommitted prospects in this cycle and the highest ranked player out of the Mid-Atlantic region in over a decade, according to 247 Sports analyst Charles Power. Williams possesses legitimate 4.57-second, 40-yard dash speed. He rushed for 838 yards with 18 touchdowns in 11 games as a junior last season. He is elite when the pocket breaks down. TreVeyon Henderson has been recognized as elite. Oklahoma would've probably preferred Henderson remain ranked at No. 226 overall. But now everybody knows how good Henderson is as he rocketed to No. 11 in the overall rankings and is the No. 1 running back in the class. At 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, Henderson rushed for 2,424 yards with 45 rushing touchdowns and five receiving touchdowns to give him 50 total last season for Hopewell (Va.) High School. If that wasn't enough, he notched 48 tackles and three interceptions on defense en route to state championship and a 15-0 season. Mario Williams is the most interesting OU offer to watch. Williams is ranked No. 127 in the rankings, but he's been a priority for OU outside wide receivers coach Dennis Simmons, who recognized Williams' talent immediately. He is ranked No. 40 in the 247 Sports Composite, a four-star in the industry-generated ranking and the No. 4 wide receiver in the country. At 5-foot-10, 165 pounds, Williams is a two-sport star at Plant City (Fla.) High School with offers from Florida, Alabama and LSU among others. Williams played centerfield, pitched and hit .280 with 10 stolen bases for the 2019 Plant City Raiders, who won the program's first state title in the sport in 47 years.

Kobie McKinzie’s guardian, Will Truby, has heard all of the talk about how little some are willing to invest in the knowledge that McKinzie committed to play at Oklahoma. While Lincoln Riley and his staff are working hard to close out the 2020 recruiting cycle and shifting gears toward earning verbal commitments and, eventually, signings from members of the 2021 class, McKinzie is just a sophomore in high school and a rising junior in recruiting. Means, as a class of 2022 prospect, nearly two years has to pass before he can put pen to paper and sign a national letter of intent. His process is still only beginning, and he’s changed his mind once already. Before the end of his sophomore season on the gridiron, he reopened his recruitment after initially pledging to play at his native Texas Tech. And it’s not as if many who follow OU football recruiting efforts aren’t aware of how a teenager’s mind can change. Notably, 2020 running back Jase McClellan ended his two-year courtship with OU to flip to Alabama just as he became eligible to sign his letter of intent. Truby said he understood why some might question McKinzie’s commitment, but they shouldn’t. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sooners comeback from 25-points down to beat No. 13 Baylor 34-31 in a game that lived up to the hype. Jalen Hurts overcame two fumbles and an interception to lead OU back. Hurts threw for 297 yards and 4 touchdowns, while adding 112 yards rushing too. The OU defense also pitched a second half shutout and only allowed 69 total yards as OU scored 24 unanswered points in the second half. Now, with the HUGE comeback, what is next for the Sooners?

The ninth-ranked Sooners are ranked behind Utah and Oregon would have wins against four ranked opponents—Texas, No. 12 Baylor, No. 23 Oklahoma State and No. 16 Kansas State gets into the conference title game. Meanwhile Oregon is 1-1 against ranked opponents with its best win being against No. 25 Washington. Utah’s best win is against No. 17 Arizona State with a loss to 5-4 USC. Neither Utah nor Oregon State has games left against ranked teams heading into this weekend. The combined record of their remaining opponents is 24-28. The combined record of OU’s remaining opponents is 19-6. Georgia has games left against just one ranked opponent—Auburn—in the regular season and would have with the same number of wins against ranked opponents as Oklahoma if the Bulldogs win out with a conference title. But a win against an undefeated Alabama or LSU might be enough to nudge them ahead of OU. And 5-3 Missouri and 6-3 Texas A&M are as stout as the Pokes and Cyclones. If conference titles matter—like the playoff criteria says they do—a one-loss Penn State, Minnesota or Ohio State would not get in. But that hasn’t stopped the committee before. The strength of record leans toward the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions when compared with the Sooners. OU needs help. But it doesn’t need a lot. The Sooners have been here before, and OU coach Lincoln Riley knows that. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

OUI staff writers RJ Young and Brandon Drumm discuss the state of Oklahoma Sooners football following a loss to K-State. The Sooners haven't gone through the month of October undefeated since 2004. But OU hasn't lost in the month of November with Lincoln Riley as head coach. With the toughest schedule left among the top 10 in the country, Oklahoma would probably end the season as the best 1-loss team in the nation if the Sooners can win a fifth consecutive Big 12 Championship.

Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Jalen Hurts is the front runner for the Heisman Memorial Trophy, and the Sooners are undefeated as they get set to travel to Lawrence, Kansas. The Sooners are coming off a 55-16 win against Texas Tech while the Jayhawks are coming off a 51-14 loss to Texas Christian. The most important aspect of OU's 4-0 start through Week 5 is they've managed to remain healthy for the most part. Though, the Sooners have played musical chairs on the offensive line with outstanding results. OU's true freshmen have also been heavy contributors to OU's success. Freshman Trejan Bridges has played both ways. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

OUI staff writers RJ Young and Brandon Drummed set the table for No. 4 Oklahoma's contest against Houston on Sunday in what promises to be an entertaining game. OU announced team captains for the 2019 season are quarterback Jalen Hurts, center Creed Humphrey, defensive tackle Neville Gallimore and middle linebacker Kenneth Murray. All but Hurts represented OU at Big 12 Media Days prior to Hurts being named the starting quarterback at Oklahoma. For Hurts, this is the first time he's been named a team captain in college. For Murray, this is his second stint as a team captain, and he's expected to be the heart and soul of a revamped defense this season under defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. OU's schedule only shows two ranked opponents in the preseason poll, so there is not much margin for error if the Sooners intend to make a third consecutive trip to the College Football Playoff and win a fifth consecutive Big 12 title. OU coach Lincoln Riley and UH coach Dana Holgorsen are familiar foes, having coached against each other in the Big 12 and come up on the same staff at Texas Tech 17 years ago.

OUInsider staff writers Brandon Drumm and RJ Young discussed the news to come out Friday. Oklahoma Sooners coach Lincoln Riley announced defensive back Tre Norwood has suffered a lower leg injury that will ensure he misses the 2019 season. "He'll miss the season," Riley said. "So tough injury, tough for him, tough for our team. You know, he's such a valuable guy, can play so many positions, [has] great experience. Certainly we'll miss him not only defensively, but special teams, too. He's a guy that was really a jack-of-all-trades for us. But that's part of this game. That's gonna happen. We've had a couple already, and that's why you recruit hard, that's why you develop hard. "In some ways, there's probably some silver lining in the fact that it happened early enough that we're able to adjust and able to get a lot of guys reps. These things are a lot tougher if they happen during the season or right before a season opener. So it's given us time to do that. And everybody was disappointed for Tre, but anybody that knows him knows he'll handle it well and he'll come back better than ever." Norwood was OU's most versatile defensive back headed into the 2019 season. His experience at every position in the defensive backfield allowed for beefed secondary that needs to improve on a pass defense ranking of 129. With Norwood working mostly at the nickel back position, Brendan Radley-Hiles is expected to lead the depth chart at the position. But he is in competition with Justin Broiles and Jeremiah Criddell among others. Young and Drumm also discussed players making an impact in camp, including offensive lineman Marquise Hayes, running back T.J. Pledger, defensive end Marcus Stripling and rush end David Ugwoegbu.

RJ Young and Brandon Drumm break down the hiring of Alex Grinch as OU's defensive coordinator. ___ A big week for Lincoln Riley just got bigger. On top of being rewarded with an extension for his second-straight appearance in the College Football Playoff, second-straight Big 12 crown, second straight Heisman winner and putting the No. 1 pick in the most recent NFL Draft, he watched two of his players declare early for entry in to the 2019 Draft. But he still needed a defensive coordinator. And now he has one. Grinch brings with him an outstanding pedigree with experience that spans the Big Ten SEC, Big 12 and Pac-12. Grinch inherits a defense that was one of the worst in college football. With a combination of Ruffin McNeill and Mike Stoops as defensive play-caller, the Sooner defense gave up more than 32 points per game and were embarrassed in the Orange Bowl.
