SoonerScoop podcast: OU signing day, 2026 class coming to Norman
The first day of the early signing period has come and gone, and OU had absolutely zero fireworks. And, yep, that’s OK.
A by-the-numbers day for head coach Brent Venables, general manager Jim Nagy and everybody else who worked to make Wednesday happen down in Norman.
OU signs a class of 24 guys. No last-minute addition, defections. Heck, if you pay attention, then you know this last week has been full of enough comings and goings. It made Wednesday more of a day of celebration than any sort of anxiety.
This is the group that picked OU when it wasn’t cool. It’s trending to be the cool thing to do once again after the way Team 131 turned everything around.
A foundation on the offense, leaders on the defense. There should be some pieces here that OU fans will remember for the years to come.

So let’s break it all down. It’s the National Signing Day edition of the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.
Plus, time to get into what’s going on as it pertains to the College Football Playoff. OU is in, nothing has changed there. But will OU host? Hmm, find out this weekend.
Murdock summary
Jim Nagy and Brent Venables put together their first full recruiting class together in the 2026 cycle. How do we feel the partnership is going after listening to both of them talk about the class on National Signing Day? And what about the standouts in this class? Josh McCuistion thinks he can make an argument that the offensive side of the ball has more talent than the defensive side of the ball. And what about the ones that got away? And the ones, like Jonathan Hatton, that didn’t? We also hit on some College Football Playoff talk and a little bit of hoops. Always a big show week when it’s signing day!
All that and all the banter you’ve come to expect from the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.
