Thank you. The Sooners are headed in the right direction under Brent Venables but will struggle in their first year in the SEC.
I like Venables. If a person knows a little bit about his background, growing up, they'd understand why he's good at recruiting. Players take to him because he's essentially "one of them," not someone who comes from a wealthy background who's a good coach.
I've always had a lot of respect for him. He'll give the Sooners all he's got, and he won't leave a stone unturned recruiting. OU is going to need him and his talent as they head into the SEC. It's a tough world of football.
A bit of background on Brent from a while back. It tells a lot about who he is today.
