This was noted after Venables brought in Jones to coach WR... hasn't aged well: "Following the end of Brent Venables's first season as OU's head coach, he brought coach Emmett Jones to Norman, and he's been working his magic ever since. Coach Jones is, without question, one of the most effective recruiters in college football, period. He was Oklahoma's secret weapon in the recruiting war, but now everyone knows his name. By no accident, Coach Jones now leads one of the nation's most talented and deep wide receiver groups. He recruits, develops, and puts talent where it needs to be. He's a player's coach, and his players love him. Jones' pass catchers look primed to lead the Sooner offense in 2024. Air raid playcalling, provided by new offensive coordinator Seth Littrell, will only highlight the Sooner receiver corps. Names like Nic Anderson, Jalil Farooq, Jaquaize Pettaway, Deion Burks, and Jayden Gibson will become household names under an air raid attack. The Sooners' receivers are deep at each level of the scheme. They have a deep mix of big-body receivers (Anderson & Gibson), slot speed demons (Pettaway & Thompson), and deep threats (Burks & Farooq). It is reasonable to say that 6 of the Sooners' top receivers could start on any SEC roster. Coach Emmett Jones is a new-age football coach. His roots are deep in the high school world, which gives him immense power and legitimacy on the recruiting trail. He's a down-to-earth, humble workaholic who can get intense when needed. Besides legendary offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh, Coach Jones is the most gifted and sought-after position coach on the Sooners staff."

wrong thread

Damn, a grad transfer NT asking 7 figs... new era indeed. Read it took him 3 years to see the field (after trasnsferring) and then only because of injury in front of him. He's played decent, but there was always been a question of "want to" with him. I guessing 7 figs in southern California might not be a good combo in that regard.

Not sure of the direction though

Last I checked he's making $700K per year to no longer coach at his alma mater and coach at OU... so... money it is....he chose poorly

If they were smart they would grandfather accounts that stay active

This is a kid whose career was screwed up by a poor choice and an overly involved dad. Kid should have had shoulder surgery when he was injured as Jr in HS but didn't want to miss his Sr year and dad agreed to stick with plan. He waits until after his senior season and arrived at USC still recovering... they pushed him too quickly to return and he has never recovered.

First conference home game at DKR is in November... wow

with discount maybe, but Fubo's prices already high, I can understand why these services subscriber numbers are dropping. They are very likely to start adding the one thing everyone moved to streaming for initially... contracts. I can see them doing 3/6/9/12 month subscriptions at discount so they don't get huge dropoffs from sports fan between seasons.

YoutubeTV just announced another price increase 14%.... fuck this.... I'm going back to rabbit ears (I'm not... but still... fuck this) To keep up with the rising cost of content and the investments we make in the quality of our service, we’re updating our monthly price from $72.99/month to $82.99/month starting January 13, 2025.

Will be the second time this year Miami has targeted him...

Hell, we've got guys doing the same to him over in the recruiting portal thread. I'm not going to shit on a kid who left his backup role to be a starting QB somewhere else which also happens to come with more money. As to when/how they do it... they are a backup that's not playing who has a chance to lock down a starting role elsewhere... you just go. Duke definitely pushed him out and he'll find another home so good for him.

That IBRX offering isn't a good look... I'm going to be dropping some position on any type of reset up. 30% discount?? wtf

Wonderful addition to their locker room.
