Bullets: Gundy wonders if Rudolph will be like Peyton Manning

Spring ball

Gundy on Rudolph: “Is he going to (study video) by himself, like Peyton Manning does? We’re going to find out.” (Tulsa World)

Kasey Dunn: “I think everybody is stepping forward and making more plays. Last year we really wanted Jhajuan (Seales) to grab more than what he did and I think he’s seeing that now. He had kind of that sophomore slump.

“He understands that and he’s coming back. He’s bounced back. I expect really good things out of him. He’s playing very well right now in spring ball.” (okstate)

Mike Gundy has jokes: “(Ashton Lampkin) is 100 percent, but he doesn’t look very good. He hasn’t had a haircut lately.” (Scout)

Brandon Sheperd: “When the pads come on that’s when it gets fun. Everybody is just flying around, having fun and excited, and just happy to be out there. So it’s been a pretty fun time the last two weeks really.” (Scout)

Wait, is Travis Ford being bought out? (PFB)

No, no, no, no, no. (Sports Illustrated)

I agree with Lon Kruger. Something needs to change in college hoops so we don’t end up back in the 1930s with these 45-43 games. (NewsOK)
