We have officially hit May, and usually that means it’s time for OU recruiting to heat up. Offers start to be doled out. Recruits start naming their top schools, and you get an idea of where OU is about to get rolling.

But so far? Rather quiet. A little too quiet for OU fans as the Sooners haven’t made the biggest impression in recent weeks.

Is this a cause for concern? Or just the front office all coming together to start to figure things out?

Let’s break it all down. It’s time for the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop. Heavy recruiting edition as dominoes start falling left and right at all sorts of positions.

Where does that put OU, Brent Venables? It’s time to get caught up as the spring evaluation period is in full swing. Are the Sooners inching toward getting some elite commitments? And if not, what’s the hiccup?

Murdock summary:

It’s a stressful time in the office as the Thunder are down 0-1 and George’s marriage may be riding on the outcome of tonight’s game. We talk with Josh about what the commitment of Jared Curtis to Georgia means for OU’s QB recruiting saga. Coaches are out on the road and making new offers all over the place. Are Jim Nagy and the OU personnel department looking to reshape this roster with different types of athletes? And what is up with the snails pace of recruiting commitments so far this offseason? We also welcome Eddie back from Mexico as he was stranded at a beautiful resort when he got the big On3 news last week. Carey also hates everything on George’s wedding registry and wants to go off catalog to get a wedding gift. Go-carts are also potentially disastrous for a bachelor party.

All that and all the banter you’ve come to expect from the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.
