Ep. 187 - A Lot to Talk About as Spring Practice Begins

West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Grant gives you probably the smartest breakdown of the Chandler Morris OU/TCU transfer situation you'll hear. Then Lee joins to ask a question about that whole thing before we get to the meat of the show which is the beginning of OU spring football (10:45). Lee asked Delarrin Turner-Yell, Nik Bonitto, and Spencer Rattler questions about 2021 expectations. We play their answers and decide if we like what they're saying, or not. Grant makes fun of lifting weights and we have a great time with everything. Plus Grant has some takes about Texas and Iowa State that are pretty interesting (14:30). What's the Nickel position going to look like now that Bookie and Tre Norwood are out of the picture? Jeremiah Criddell seems he may have the inside track to win the job. Who else could get a look? Lee looked into true freshman Billy Bowman and right now Lee is a believer (33:30). Pat Fields will miss most if not all of spring practice. Alex Grinch has a lot of awesome things to say about the incoming freshman -- and we know Grinch isn't one to BS us. Plus who's going to get more reps in place of Fields this spring (47:05)? Grinch gives us an update on Justin Harrington. Lee's a little more optimistic about Harrington than Grant, but Grant makes a point that Lee didn't consider (57:00). We move over to the offense for some brief news and notes from Lincoln Riley's Wednesday presser. Most of the talk is about Mikey Henderson joining the RB room (1:03:35). Bookie transfers to Washington. We give our initial thoughts, then Lee updates his Bookie rewatch with full thoughts on the 2019 season. Lee was surprised by what he saw from Bookie in 2019. Then a listener chimes in with his detailed thoughts on Bookie, which may largely speak for the OU fan base (1:12:00). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
