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.
