Oklahoma Sooners Unofficial 40

It's the Unofficial 40 presented by SchwabMeat.com. In this episode we stayed up late and waited for the decision from Washington State quarterback transfer John Mateer. Now that Mateer's a Sooner will tell you about some of the crazy details we learned about how this all came to be. A bizarre battle between NFL legends and NFL Sooner legends to be erupted. In the end, OU donors and the 1Oklahoma Collective did a ton of work to make sure the Sooners secured Mateer. The Sooners also had more commitments today at the wide receiver position and we tell you all about them. The momentum continues with Mateer on board and the portal recruiting continues with the hope of bringing in even more receivers. We're still a bit concerned about the tight end room as we try and find answers how to fix that situation. A full recap of everything that happened on another crazy day for the Sooners. But one thing is for sure, this program doesn't have to worry about heading into the 2025 season with an offense in shambles.

Andrel Anthony enters the portal and now the Sooners have lost Anthony, Jalil Farooq and Nic Anderson. Deion Burks, you're our only hope! And what the hell is going on at the tight end position?

It's a massive podcast with so much to cover over the last few days. Ben Arbuckle was hired as Oklahoma's new offensive coordinator and then Brent Venables announced that all of Seth Littrell's assistant coaches would be retained. Are we really buying that? Or is this just a united front for signing day? And who will be OU's quarterback in 2025? Is it better to sign Washington State's John Mateer in the portal for instant chemistry? Or should the Sooners try and stick behind Jackson Arnold, mend those fences and rely on his ceiling and potential to lead the offense into 2025? Much more on Arbuckle but we take a look at signing day as well and portal season which comes next. Will the Sooners lose Michael Fasusi or Cortez Mills on signing day? Texas and Nebraska are pulling at them. We also talk some hoops after OU wins the Battle 4 Atlantis and Joe Castiglione declares his vision for the future of the football program in the age of revenue sharing.

It's the Schwab's Meat Unofficial 40! It's a crazy time of the year as the Sooners are trying to finish off a 7-5 season as they travel to Baton Rouge to take on LSU at Death Valley. The offensive line is showing promise and Xavier Robinson is becoming a force out of the backfield. But with all of that going on, the Sooners still have to make an offensive coordinator hire. We talk about the latest in the search for the new offensive coordinator and how that will affect everything in the OU football program. Jackson Arnold's future, Bill Bedenbaugh's recruiting class, including Michael Fasusi. And how will that affect other players that may be needed to be replaced in the portal? So many moving parts depending on this one hire. And what staff members will be retained? We keep going and going and going on how things could shake out in the next 7 days. We also talk recruiting with Josh and Bob Przybylo makes a return to the U40 to talk about hoops. As the Battle 4 Atlantis gets started, we preview the matchups.
