It's amazing how poorly Texas handled the beginning of this recruitment. If they land him, I'll laugh, but wow. OU will have truly blown it.
Also, and totally unrelated to Vacek's recruitment, but if you guys are interested after this season, Texas has a fucking amazing recruiter and LB coach that you guys should go after. His name is Jeff Choate. Please don't pass his name and recommendation off to Venables.
I don't know if I agree completely. Texas may have whiffed a bit early, but there's not much you can do if a guy wants to see the rest of the country. Similarly, I don't know that I'd mark OU as blowing it if he ends up at Texas. It was always going to be a hill to climb to pull a high-priority guy from directly in town who is also getting the hard sell from a famous family all while your own family has season tickets. Couple that with the huge win in Dallas and the overall good momentum from UT, and it's easy to see how he could slide in that direction.
If OU can't get him back on campus in the next few weeks to at least re-pitch him, then I would definitely consider THAT a huge failure.

Oh for sure. You've got to love your position with a guy who won't even confirm he's committed still.

What happened to Bowman for ou? Didn’t see him on the field.
Hurt returning versus TCU. Lower body something, I think.

There are still a lot of hard feeling between Heupel and OU. In all fairness, the offense at OU was completely awful when he was OC. Had literally no running game. He's improved a lot, though, which is good. People evolve and improve over time.
I just don't see him going to OU. Ever.
It'll be interesting to see what happens if they keep getting blown out. The fan base and boosters knew this would be a transitional year but if it's like this every single week, they might make a change this year and at worst case, they'll put Venables on a very short leash in year 2.
Heupel got put in a pretty untenable position by Stoops, in my opinion. After the Manziel Cotton Bowl, Stoops wanted to incorporate more QB run game, but he refused to put a starting QB in harm's way, so the scheme called for a ton of fake zone reads that were just slow handoffs. It took no time at all for defenses to figure that out, which crushed the run game. AND because of the scheme shift, the QBs on the roster were less able to be pocket passers, so they were limited in that sense as well.
Then he got blamed for the whole thing.
To his credit, he's never made any of that public, so I could be way off base. I do know for a fact that Bob was hyper protective of starting QBs.

No real sense of why, but recruitment seems to be cratering for this dude. OU backed off, Miami and Ole Miss have reportedly canceled visits that were scheduled.

We will see what this week's practices look like. If you think someone's close but being lazy, I can semi-understand the hard-nosed approach. If you realize they're floundering and need rebuilding, the support HAS to be there. This is a real inflection point in his career, so let's see what comes out of it.

Not really, no. Everyone expected to be contributing is doing so. Minor, week-to-week stuff like anyone.
Well this isn't true the fuck at all anymore...hahahaha

After watching our offense struggle 2nd half vs Tech then watching OU struggle with consistency, it made me wonder how they would look down an Interior OL, starting QB and top 2 WR's as we were. (fully appreciating how the coaching change/portal impacted OU's roster before the season).
Consider that OU is probably down two top returning WRs if everything is equal from portal to injuries, so that's a push. QB would be more of a struggle than Texas has had, likely. Nobody on the roster has played any meaningful snaps outside of Gabriel. OL is still a work in progress based on the last game, so losing one of the rotation there would be uncomfortable, but not a huge drop-off.
Good analysis of the interior OL play from Gabe Ikard this week, getting into details about how Raym is making the game harder for himself, lack of communication, and the struggles they've had in operating as a unit G/C/G or in pairs of C/G. He's not sure if it's the tempo or some other factor causing the mental lapses, but he puts it all down to execution or instruction, rather than innate talent.

There is a neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri called Bevo, or Bevo Mill.
Great area for Bosnian food, due to a large refugee population.

It's the AD, Castiglione in the hat. Not that it changes the look, but...

Philbrook will take at least two hours, probably closer to three if you take your time and actually look at the exhibits and walk the grounds a bit.

If he wins early, he is going to lock down SoCal pretty easily. There isn't another contender within 1,000 miles of him for that top talent that can offer what USC can. I think Nelson is just driving up NIL prices, but he ultimately ends up at SC. Can you imagine if he flips from USC to A&M to go play for Jimbo fucking Fisher? Give me a break. Riley has multiple Heisman winners at the position as a QB coach.
I agree, I think Nelson would be stupid to flip. I just think it's consistent with Riley that he's having to fight it off or deal with the speculation. For comparison, you're not hearing those things about Manning or any of the other top committed QBs.

Riley never seemed to me to be a guy who loaded up early on his classes. He always had a consistent flow of commits throughout the year. I am sure, like Texas last season, most top level guys are going to take a wait and see approach. If Riley comes out hot, he is going to have a top 5 class.
Spoiler: Riley will come out hot.It is pretty impressive the way that Venables is recruiting given the circumstances. I just don't buy him or his staff as on field coaches yet.
Riley never felt like he was able to keep people in the boat. Every battle went down to the wire, and there were late wins and late losses, but there was always a sense of "when the big guys come calling" looming over each class. You're seeing it again with Nelson, and even in Caleb Williams kicking around the idea of not following him to SC. He's probably right in that being at SC protects him from that a little more than at OU, so you might see less of that in the next couple of years if he has sustained success.

All of the noise from the secondary this year is about how much they prefer having a coach who knows the position. Strong shade at Manning, but we will see if the productivity matches their optimism once the K-State and Texas games are done. KSU has another Lockett on the roster, so I'm expecting some busted coverages chasing small, fast dudes.

Fast little guy -- who's the competition ??
He was trending OU for a long time, then Georgia came on strong in the past week or two. After lunch, everyone has been flipping their picks back to OU. There was word that the parents wanted Georgia, but Evans liked OU.

Evans seems to be back on board this afternoon. Should know for sure in 45 mins or so.

So they kept the public tailgating zones the same and added more paid zones? Doesn't seen like the worst thing ever.
Objectively, it's not terrible, it's just that most OU fans were hoping for more of a commitment to a fan-focused atmosphere ahead of the SEC move.

I liken it to the south Louisiana grandmothers who by and large will use a jarred roux. Sure, you can make it yourself, but they started doing it when that became available and that became the standard process.
