U40: Biggest positives taken away from 4 football viewings
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-on-one battles but the Internet commentary might have been a little over the top after people saw the video. We have observations about Ben Arbuckle, Kevin Wilson and Brent Venables and how they react to things during practices. We also talk Trae Young being named an assistant GM for the basketball program and what that job description might look like. Josh is in with the latest in the recruiting world, especially the QB position. We also take a stab at who OU might look to land in the transfer portal this spring. We are getting ready for the Final Four in men's and women's hoops and the diamond sports had some losses this weekend. A big show this week! Dive in!

U40: We are back out at spring practices and women's hoops rules
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 more and more likely that Porter Moser will return to OU unless some things change quickly. How can OU improve their men's NIL to truly compete with the big boys? And we've got more impressions about the team after another viewing session on Tuesday. We also got to talk to several players after practice. You'll hear our impressions on the attitude of this team and the development of the offense. OU baseball has won both of its SEC series so far this season but it's about to get a lot tougher. And softball finally loses their first game of the season. It's a spring sports jam-packed edition of the Unofficial 40.

U40: Breaking down everything we've seen and heard about spring practices
Spring practices are in full spring as we've now had two viewing sessions and a Pro Day to take in since last week. Carey, Josh, Eddie and George breakdown what they've witnessed out on the practice fields and what they've been hearing behind the scenes. We go over the newcomers that have stood out, the players fans want to see more of that have been on campus, like Davon Mitchell, and basically cover our impressions from every position group up to this point. Some players we thought were injured or limited are getting more action than we expected. We dive deep into what we're seeing from the offensive line and talk about what the starting lineup could look like coming out of spring. It's better to just dive into the podcast and hear for yourself. Josh updates with some recruiting updates and the guys were really impressed seeing Zane Row out at practice Monday. Kid is getting bigger and bigger every time we see him. We also talk about Trace Ford's impressive day out at Pro Day. Hoops is getting set to tip off tonight in Nashville and the women await their NCAA Tournament seeding after a good showing in the SEC Tourney.

U40: OU football's General Manager is probably a little bit different than most
Oklahoma football introduced Jim Nagy as Oklahoma's new General Manager. And Carey says there is way more to OU's vision than most college programs right now. We talk about our impressions of Nagy's approach and what he had to say yesterday. Brent Venables also spoke to the media for the first time since the Armed Forces Bowl. He dropped some injury news and we have plenty to say about that as well. John Mateer took to the podium and his comments gave people a first look at who he really is. So who is he? Brent's explanation about cancelling the spring game did make a lot of sense. But some of us still think it would have been smarter to put together some type of game for the good of OU's pocket books, especially with OU needing as much money as possible for revenue sharing and NIL. Josh updates us on the latest in recruiting and with Future Freaks coming up. Also, can Porter Moser save his job? What does it mean if the men's basketball team makes the NCAA Tournament? Could he still be fired? Should he? We break down everything spring in this edition of the Unofficial 40. THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the U40! Spring football has begun. Let’s start with meeting the new GM Jim Nagy 11:00 - Discussing how OU’s front office will work with the coaching staff when it comes to recruiting 34:00 - John Mateer 47:00 - First impressions of the transfers/freshmen 1:06:00 - Future Freaks Weekend ahead 1:20:44 - Hoops; SEC Womens Tourney + Men get a big win on Senior Night Learn more about your ad choices.
