Adapt and Respond with RJ Young: A College Football Podcast

Spencer Rattler, Taulia Tagovalia, Bryan Breese and EJ Ndoma-Ogar are four of the top 160 high school football players in the country.

I spoke with each of them at various points over the course of my three days at The Opening Final in Frisco, Texas. I thought each of their stories were fascinating.

ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla talked me and Oklahoma fans off a ledge after Trae Young's abysmal summer league performances and tussle with Grayson Allen.

Four-star CB Woodi Washington joined the podcast to talk about how Oklahoma earned his commitment in spite of frequent trips to his home-state Tennessee Vols, Alabama and Ohio State.

2020 CB Darion Green-Warren told me why he decided to commit on July 4, 2018; who he's recruiting; how he watches film and who he wants to join him from a stacked Mater Dei football team.

Green-Warren is a 6-foot-1, 175-pound ball hawk, and a joy to watch on film.

I talked about how the Oklahoma commits and targets at The Opening Final from Spencer Rattler to where the Sooners stand with Dax Hill.

I recapped The Opening Final 2018 with FloFootball managing editor Kolby Paxton who covered the event with me for FloSports.

Paxton walked-on at OU and had the unfortunate job of trying to strip the ball from Adrian Peterson. You'll notice AD doesn't fumble anymore.

Team Overdrive—A.K.A Team OU—won the 7-on-7 title, and we gave our thoughts about what that means for OU.

Frisco, Texas -- The Opening Finals Day 2 featured a lot of Oklahoma commits and targets showing out.

The Opening is a marquee high school football camp and show case that features the top four- and five-star high school football players from across the country.

Spencer Rattler, EJ Ndoma-Ogar, Trejan Bridges, Theo Wease, Arjei Henderson, Austin Stogner and others were showing their skills.

Oklahoma picked up a Marcus 'Major' commitment. Baker Mayfield got engaged, and The Opening Final already sounds amazing. I also discuss the Oklahoma two-deep depth chart.

Phil Steele has picked Texas to beat Oklahoma out for the Big 12 title, and I've got a problem with that.

I also lose my mind over super chats, recruits and Lincoln Riley's Eye Emojis. This is a live stream replay.

Theo Wease documentary executive producer Kolby Paxton joined the WOOSAH podcast to discuss his titular subject: Theo Wease.

Wease is the top wide receiver recruit in the country and committed to Oklahoma. He's also famously tight-lipped about who he talks to and why.

Paxton and his crew followed Wease around for three days in Wease's native Allen, Texas. During that time Wease discussed his commitment, de-commitment, re-commitment and decision to sign his national letter of intent during the Early Signing Period in December. He will enroll at the University of Oklahoma in January 2019.
