SoonerScoop podcast: OU, LSU continue to wait on Bowe Bentley's decision

It’s the final mega-visit weekend for OU football, and the Sooners are bringing a bunch of elite guys to Norman.
But, let’s be real, a lot of the attention remains on quarterback Bowe Bentley. He was pretty adamant about saying he was focusing on the Elite 11 and wasn’t going to make a choice between OU and LSU right now.
That should and will change, obviously, when the event wraps up. But Bentley is locked in for the Elite 11, including a big-time performance during Day 2 on Wednesday.
A little bit of recruiting, a little of Oklahoma City Thunder – it’s that time of year with the Thunder knocking on the door of an NBA championship.

But let’s break it all down. It’s time for the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop. As OU continues to get commitments, but the show opens right as the Sooners lose an offensive lineman for the 2026 class.
You know the drill, you simply have to ride that wave with all the comings and goings.
Murdock summary:
Carey is trying to jinx the Thunder right from the start this week. But we quickly get into the news of the day for recruiting. And that is the decommitment of Will Conroy who flips to North Carolina. We also talk some Elite 11 and what performing well at the Elite 11 has meant over the years. Spoiler, it sometimes means nothing, sometimes it does. Josh talks about the upcoming BBQ recruiting weekend and we’re trying to let you know we’re not the ones pumping out all the John Mateer hype. We’ve barely reached peak offseason so that means time to talk OU’s schedule. Also, some baseball, some hoops and some softball.
All that and all the banter you’ve come to expect from the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.
