OSU Bullets

• Mike Gundy and Co. got a Christmas present yesterday with a commitment from a junior college defensive back (PFB)

• Mason Rudolph is getting the start again this week for the Titans (CBS Sports)

• Intriguing perspective on what OSU needs out of the portal – a highly-pedigreed quarterback for OSU’s future.

Oklahoma State needs a quarterback that they can build around for the foreseeable future, and although he’s not as highly-touted as he was coming out of high school, (Boise State transfer Malachi) Nelson still has all the tools to be an elite quarterback. He was once committed to OU, and getting a former five-star guy like him could excite any fan base. [HCS]  

• An opinion that surely has opponents: For Doug Gottlieb to be taken seriously as a coach, he’ll need to drop the radio show (HCS)

• Unbelievable stuff from Coach Hoyt:

Oklahoma State coach Jacie Hoyt reflected on what her team means to her after giving birth to her newborn daughter, Harlow. Hoyt brought her to the press conference after she nabbed her first win as a mom. (📸 @OSUWBB) pic.twitter.com/oBzXz3PMkq
