SoonerScoop podcast: Getting to know OU quarterback John Mateer

We’re getting closer and closer to OU football. But, yea, we’re not there yet. Give it a few more weeks. We are now just two weeks away from SEC media days, and a lot of eyes will be on OU quarterback John Mateer.
It will be his initial chance to make an impression with some national media in Atlanta. For SoonerScoop, though? Well, our George Stoia earned that honor last week.
Stoia spent a long time with Mateer last weekend at the Manning Passing Academy event in Louisiana.
It’s time to dig in. Time to break it all down and so much in this edition of the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.

The calm before the football storm that is to come and get to know Mateer a heck of a lot better in the weeks to come.
Murdock summary
We’re back for another episode as the Thunder euphoria has died down. You’re welcome. Mavs fans who also listen. It’s July so we’re hanging on and hoping for a quick return of football. Today we caught up with George on his visit with John Mateer as he’s ready to run an extensive series on OU’s QB after talking to Mateer, family members, former coaches, analysts, everybody. We’re not giving away anything, but we have seen the nearly hour-long transcript and George has previewed some of the quotes for us. And we have one big takeaway about John Mateer. We also hit the recruiting trail and give our thoughts on some of the OSU wins over OU on the recruiting trail. And we also ask Josh to look back on his biggest impression about summer camps and offers. Are the Sooners being too aggressive? Or not aggressive enough?
All that and all the banter you’ve come to expect from the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.
