It's been a great preseason for the Scoop crew to get out and watch portions of practice thanks to Brent Venables' media friendliness this August. Carey and Josh get to weigh in on what they've been seeing and hearing from fall camp as we break down the standouts, the injured and maybe some disappointments so far. Josh updates us on the recruiting trail and whether OU fans should be worried about Jake Kreul moving up his commitment...

The gang is finally back together after honeymoons, flight delays and the start of fall/preseason camp. We just had a media gathering with 7 players, Brent Venables and Ben Arbuckle. What did we take from the preseason get together? First off, we're shocked by how big Jaydn Ott actually is as a running back. We pine over him for a bit during the show. We're also not going into a doom pod, but we're questioning as much as possible a...

It's a busy day as Josh is back from vacation and Carey and Eddie spent the afternoon at the OU coaches luncheon where Brent Venables, Ben Arbuckle and Todd Bates talked some OU football to raise money for Fostering Futures. Ben Arbuckle got to talk about his receivers and the offensive line while there was plenty of praise for some key defenders by Brent Venables and Todd Bates. We also had some breaking news mid-pod as Donald Tru...

Brace yourselves Sooner fans. There is a member of the Scoop crew who is high on the hopium after SEC Media Days. We take a look back at what we learned from OU's trip to Atlanta for talking season. And we learned that a lot of national media is high on the Sooners heading into 2025. Granted, hearts have been broken around here and we're coming off one of the worst seasons in recent OU history. But are the national people seeing so...

Carey, Eddie and George reconvene after a long week of surprises and press conferences. And we're diving head first into what we feel is going to happen inside the OU athletics department. Football is a beast of it's own, but there were a lot of other coaches at Joe Castiglione's retirement press conference that are left wondering where they stand in the new world order without Castiglione at the helm. We talk about the power struc...

We're back for another episode as the Thunder euphoria has died down. You're welcome Mavs fans who also listen. It's July so we're hanging on and hoping for a quick return of football. Today we caught up with George on his visit with John Mateer as he's ready to run an extensive series on OU's QB after talking to Mateer, family members, former coaches, analysts, everybody. We're not giving away anything, but we have seen the nearly...

It may not have been something that was aesthetically pleasing to us, but the Jaden O' Neal/Bowe Bentley worked out as we believe Ben Arbuckle wanted. We are left to wonder, how much did John Mateer play a role in swinging Bentley to OU over LSU? A Fong Bomb that caught everyone's attention. We finally make Eddie happy and get into the Thunder parade discussion as Carey, Eddie and George all were in OKC for the big event. We're als...

Carey is trying to jinx the Thunder right from the start this week. But we quickly get into the news of the day for recruiting. And that is the decommitment of Will Conroy who flips to North Carolina. We also talk some Elite 11 and what performing well at the Elite 11 has meant over the years. Spoiler, it sometimes means nothing, sometimes it does. Josh talks about the upcoming BBQ recruiting weekend and we're trying to let you kn...

It's almost impossible to believe. The OU softball season and baseball season have come to an end. Really within hours of each other. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a productive year for the softball team and this team took an entirely new roster back to the WCWS and was just a run away from being back in the championship series. Baseball might have had some more issues. And they didn't make it past the regional round. We discuss ...

It's May and we're struggling. Welcome to probably the most random podcast we've done in a while. George is back from wedding vacation, baseball and softball are in full swing and recruiting is getting ready to take the stage as Josh heads to Oklahoma next week for a full tour of the best talent in the Sooner state. The Sooners are actually in the running for a legitimate high school tight end and they've made a new offer to a 2026...

Recruiting is officially heating up after Oklahoma football picked up a commitment from Niko Jandreau, a safety from Chandler, Arizona. It's an exciting pickup because he also has another brother who is also highly regarded. Josh McCuistion is here to breakdown the latest on the recruiting trail as he and Carey are getting ready to go see Bowe Bentley this week. Big visits are also being lined up for summer camp. We also examine t...

It's a stressful time in the office as the Thunder are down 0-1 and George's marriage may be riding on the outcome of tonight's game. We talk with Josh about what the commitment of Jared Curtis to Georgia means for OU's QB recruiting saga. Coaches are out on the road and making new offers all over the place. Are Jim Nagy and the OU personnel department looking to reshape this roster with different types of athletes? And what is up ...

Carey and Josh break it all down. What it means for you? What to expect from SoonerScoop moving forward and everything we want to address right now.

George was under the weather today so we had an OG podcast with Carey, Josh and Eddie. It's been a busy week so we kind of used this podcast to clean up our thoughts on everything that's been going on lately. David Stone and the QB decision. Why shouldn't Ben Arbuckle be able to make his own choice at who he wants his QB to be? We also talked plenty of portal and looked ahead to where the Sooners could go next. The defensive line i...

With the announcement that Jake Maikkalu and Jaydn Ott signed with Oklahoma football the day before the portal officially opened, OU made a big statement that they are willing to do what it takes to get back on track. We talk about what the signings mean for the Sooners as well as what the portal still could hold in store. We also dive into where we are as a sport right now with Nico Iamaleava and why we feel better about OU's appr...

The Unofficial 40 is back and we're ready for another magical time of the year as OU puts on their spring finale, the Masters is underway and we're on the verge of recruiting awesomeness with high school spring football and summer camps. But we've also had some interesting developments in the NIL space with the House vs. NCAA settlement being in the spotlight on Monday. What comes out of that?

The gang is back in the studio together on the heels of another football practice viewing. The linebacker group appears to be stacking some depth at the position even with the losses of Danny Stutsman to the NFL and Jaren Kanak to tight end. That's because Sammy Omosigho appears to be transitioning to the MIKE linebacker spot quite well. And players continually rave about Kendal Daniels being on campus. We also got to see some one-...

Josh is back from his cruise and in his absence, OU lost a running back battle to Texas A&M for Jonathan Hatton. Where does OU stand at the running back position? Could they be looking to the portal for their next big bruiser out of the backfield? Jennie Baranczyk also pulled off one of the biggest commitments in OU women's basketball history when Aaliyah Chavez, the nation's No. 1 player, committed to OU yesterday. And it seems mo...
