Sooner Smiths LIVE #38 Title: OKLAHOMA had bad losses and a Great WIN | Oklahoma Football Recruiting Hosts: Chad Smith & Tierani Smith Date: Tuesday, June 2, 2026 (rescheduled from Monday) Platform: YouTube (OklahomaVOCFB) + cross-posted to X/Facebook Summary A casual, family-style live show with newborn Drake making several appearances. The episode covers Oklahoma sports highs and lows: heartbreaking softball elimination, a thrilling baseball comeback win, Thunder playoff disappointment, appreciation for longtime golf coach Ryan Hibble, and positive football recruiting news. Key Segments 1. Oklahoma Softball – WCWS Elimination (Mississippi State Series) Oklahoma missed the Women’s College World Series for the first time in 10 years (2nd time in 15). Strong criticism of Game 1: Miley starting instead of ace, Abby Dayton not in lineup/field → poor vibes and energy. Major defensive errors (especially at 3B) led to 9 runs in two innings. Game 2: Explosive 7-run inning but offense otherwise quiet. Game 3: Early deficit, lack of fight, swinging for fences instead of consistent hitting. Broader issues discussed: pitching depth concerns, lack of captains/leaders (freshmen stepping up), pressure of playing at Oklahoma, and failure to sweep weaker teams earlier. 2. Softball 2026 Recruiting Class Strong incoming class highlighted, especially pitching. Notable commits: Goose, EK Smith, Malaya, Keegan Baker (elite in-state), plus top position players (Finley Williams, Riley Hillyard, etc.). Optimism for rebound despite this year’s disappointment. 3. Oklahoma Baseball – Super Regional Run Dramatic comeback win from losers’ bracket vs. Georgia Tech. Highlight: Walk-off or late heroics with a massive home run (Taki?). Advancing to face Kansas in Lawrence Super Regional. Hosts very bullish on the team’s momentum. 4. Viral Clip / Comedy Break Humorous/low-effort defensive play by a female athlete (Audrey Vander?) missing a home run at the wall. Sparked discussion on effort, criticism in women’s sports, and comparison to past stars like Jada Coleman. 5. Oklahoma City Thunder Playoff Exit Heartbreaking loss to San Antonio (injuries to key players like JDub and others). Frustration with Chet Holmgren’s limited impact and non-factor performance. Praise for SGA; criticism of role players missing open shots. Tangent on flopping in NBA, refereeing, and playing within the rules of the current game. 6. Golf Coach Ryan Hibble Departure Longtime OU coach (17 seasons) leaving for Georgia Tech (closer to family/Atlanta roots). Hosts give glowing tribute: turned program into national powerhouse, multiple national titles, produced tons of All-Americans and PGA Tour players (Abraham Ancer, Brad Dalke, Max McGreevy, etc.). Emotional send-off and well-wishes. 7. Oklahoma Football Recruiting (2027 Cycle) Strong recent commits: Gabriel Osborne (4-star, freak athlete DL/Edge, beat out Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, Miami). Other top-40 commits: Cooper Hackett (5-star), Synica Driver (top TE), Kaden Penny, Cooper Whitten, etc. Emphasis on offensive line and tight end talent additions. Overall Tone Honest disappointment in softball + Thunder. Excitement for baseball and football recruiting. Light-hearted family moments with baby Drake and banter between Chad & Tierani. Community-focused (shoutouts to live chat members like Seagull Outdoors, Steve, etc.). Runtime: ~1 hour 1 minute. Standout Quote: “If you’re choosing to play at Oklahoma, you have to be able to handle that pressure.” — Tierani Smith Great episode for OU fans wanting raw, unfiltered takes mixed with family charm.
