Spring football has finished. And the entire gang is here to discuss what we learned and where this program is heading into the SEC. The transfer portal is obviously a big part of that and George is here to talk about Damonic Williams and whether the Sooners are moving on, or waiting to see what happens on these upcoming visits. Is OU willing to let this all play out? Or will they move on to other players in the portal at the defensive line position. We wrap up some of the loose ends in recruiting from the weekend as OU coaches have descended on Houston this morning. And Bob jumps on to tell us how awful things are going for Porter Moser in the portal.

The full rundown follows below:

We're back as we get ready for a huge weekend in Norman. The annual spring game takes place this weekend and there will be transfers and recruits all over the place. As long as the weather doesn't kill everything that is. We get started today though talking about the portal and where OU is looking to fix their issues. And even as we are doing the pod, we again have breaking news as a major defensive line target enters the portal from TCU. Outside of the offensive and defensive lines, are the Sooners even paying attention to other positions? Josh is here to breakdown the latest in recruiting. Any commitments expected out of this weekend. And exactly who is visiting from the portal? We breakdown what we learned from talking to Jackson Arnold and Danny Stutsman after practice on Tuesday. When Bob is done yelling at us from the other room, he stops in to talk about the latest with softball and the Portal Moser situation. It's not off to a great start inside the LNC. Some baseball updates and we reminisce about the awesome time that was Blake Griffin's two seasons in Norman. Congrats on a great basketball career Blake!

The gang is back together talking spring football and this time we're really focused on the offensive line and how that might be affected some of the reports we're hearing about the quarterback position. How much concern do we have heading into the offseason? How much concern should you have if the line doesn't look great in the spring game? The Sooners are hot on the recruiting trail once again and Josh is here for all the latest, including the commitment of Maliek Hawkins just before we started the podcast. And what about the transfer portal? We all have very strong opinions about where the Sooners need to go and what they need to start doing (tampering) in the portal. The softball team is coming off their first series loss since 1907 and Bob is here to update how much of a terror Patty Gasso will be moving forward. Porter Moser also has no players on his roster but we'll talk about how aggressive the Sooners are going to be in the portal for men's hoops. Plenty of football to digest in this one.

The whole crew is back for another thorough breakdown of spring football camp. We're just off of our third viewing of the spring and we're also full of some scrimmage intel as well. Troy Everett is lost for the spring and the early part of fall camp next season. Where do the Sooners go from here? And what do we make of the offensive line so far. There have been few glowing reviews coming out of camp and what we've seen makes it hard to tell how much of a concern this unit really is. But other positions look like they are receiving some upgrades, like on the defensive line where David Stone is getting strong reviews from Brent Venables. We also talk about the buzz surrounding true freshman QB Michael Hawkins. From what we've seen so far, we believe it. Bob joins in and we talk about OU President Joe Harroz and his "threat" to move Oklahoma basketball to another city if the city of Norman doesn't come through with a proposed entertainment district. We also breakdown what is happening with Porter Moser's roster and where he goes after losing more players this week. Josh is here for your recruiting updates and it's a huge weekend for softball at Texas and baseball in Bedlam.

The full rundown follows below:

00:00 - Welcome back to the U40! 

11:20 - Troy Everett out for spring ball 

16:00 - Michael Hawkins has impressed 

21:00 - Interior DL/Defensive end talk

I mean, there is not a more beautiful time of the year than right now. The entire crew is here. Almost all of us have been watching spring practice with our own eyes. We had 90 minutes of viewing on Monday, we have another hour and 45 minutes after the pod today. While Eddie and George did a Practice Report on YouTube, Carey and Bob weigh in today with what they saw and Josh is here as well to talk about what he's hearing. There's just so much to talk about regarding this team. We've got some insight into some of the new staff and how they fit in with the program as well as all the player analysis you can handle. Josh is here with the latest in recruiting as always and there was just so much football to talk about but we managed to fit in some hoops, softball, baseball talk in the end. Check YouTube for a brand new stickball episode that will get more in-depth to the baseball and softball. It's a great time to pod and a great time to listen to the pod. Enjoy!

It's been a little Porter Moser heavy with his press conference the other day. It got a lot more bizarre for those that watched Virginia play last night. But we're going football heavy as Josh has had back-to-back weekends of watching OU prospects in person at Under Armour Dallas and Houston. And we're also diving into what the latest Kevin Sperry movement could mean for his commitment to OU. We actually put Josh on the spot and ask him if Sperry winds up at OU. We were also blown away at the footage of 2026 RB Jonathan Hatton in Houston. And as we started the pod there was worry that DeMarco Murray might be stolen away by Ohio State. As we were halfway through the pod we got word that Murray had made a decision and was staying with OU. Bob is also here for some hoops talk and what Porter is going to have to do in the offseason so the end of this season doesn't send the program spiraling in a negative direction. Spring is never lacking for action. And that's without football practicing this week due to spring break.

The full rundown follows below:

0:00 - Welcome back to the U40! Is DeMarco Murray going to Ohio State?

We got to see Drake Stoops and others run their unofficial 40s at OU's Pro Day. What were our impressions? The board of regents met on Tuesday and there was salary news for Zac Alley. What does his salary say about his place in the defensive coaching pecking order? Also a big raise for offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh. We wrap up the Under Armour camp from over the weekend and talk about how many recruits are setting up official visits. It gives us a peak into what weekends the staff is setting up for big recruiting weekends. OU heads into the Big 12 tournament down some important bodies and the women put up a dud in the Big 12 Tourney. Little softball talk with Bob and baseball talk with Eddie.

George joins the show and we're still talking hoops. Has the lack of support for OU hoops eroded some of the passion from the fanbase? A dinosaur arena doesn't really scream, "We care!" And are the Sooners closer to falling out of the NCAA Tournament field or staying in the field? A pretty serious state of the union discussion on OU hoops. Josh is here for all the recruiting talk and Carey is here to talk about his thoughts on what OU is doing to prepare for a new era of college football that has so many more administrative challenges than ever before with recruiting, the transfer portal, NIL, etc. How is OU navigating this new era and everything we know about how this is all being setup.
