Oh good, the Dez situation is getting messier! (ESPN)

The race for conference champion will suck up all the oxygen, and justifiably so, but this tier fascinates me. Three of these four have been both excellent and subpar over the last three to four years, and OSU, which had been the steadiest of ships between 2008 and 2013, fell off the map for half of 2014. (SB Nation)

Teammate Emmanuel Ogbah gets the headlines, but Bean is likely to play on Sundays as well. Ogbah had a breakout 2014 season that has made Bean’s progress easy to overlook despite Bean entering this season with two years of starting experience under his belt. (ESPN)

Love this from OSU’s new OL coach: “Because of the relationships you build with your players, that is so important because each player has to be motivated a certain way. At the end of the day they need to know me and I have to know them and the communication barrier has to be broken down.” (Scout)

Around the NCAA

I thought this was a tremendous tweet.

I think Spurrier is great because he coaches and acts like football is exactly as important as it really is. Which is not much.

Tren’Davian Dickson (surprisingly) chose Texas over Texas A&M (and Oklahoma State) on Tuesday. (PFB)

This defensive end would be a huge pickup for OSU. Wow. (PFB)

I loved the lede here from Kyle. OSU really is the Fred Hoiberg of football. (PFB)

Hoops misc.

Ugh, Robert Whetsell lays out what should be another mediocre season for OSU. Who’s going to score?? (CRFF)

It’s summer, let’s break down a Mitch Solomon dunk. (PFB)
