Daily Bullets (Jan. 5): A Bit of a Stillwater Exodus

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

OSU Bullets

• After seeing starter John Paul Richardson hit the portal, yesterday saw two starting receivers (OSU’s second-leading receiver and Stephon Johnson) and OSU’s remaining starter at defensive tackle enter the transfer portal

Not much returning production headed back to Stillwater in the fall.

• This is a good look at where things are currently at with the Cowboys’ receivers’ room

• Kyle Boone did a solid job breaking down what went wrong during the 2022 football season for the Pokes

• Losing three starting receivers and the best option at defensive tackle in a couple of days naturally leads to concern. This is quite the take if you’re looking for an unusual lens on the situation.

Natural speculation would be about the state of the program and that is for head coach Mike Gundy to determine.

One thing is certain, the Cowboys, who have brought in good talent from the portal are again back running at a deficit with these (four) most recent losses and must work on compensating and if quarterback is a problem, find a way to get a veteran quarterback on the roster to stall the panic and the departures.
