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

Scores

Baseball: Cowboys 10, UCF 6 
Softball: Cowgirls 4, Utah 1

OSU Bullets

• The Cowboys completed a trade (not really) for Justin Kirkland, landing a new tight end from BYU (PFB)

• Baseball and softball weekend recap – the Cowboys completed a sweep of UCF, the Cowgirls matched by sweeping Utah (PFB)

• Steve Lutz’s transfer class is turning some heads around the Big 12, scoring averages tease that out a bit.

So, the Cowboys need scoring and a lot of it. Fortunately, second-year coach Steve Lutz is on it. Look at this transfer haul: Anthony Roy (25.7 PPG at Green Bay), Isaiah Coleman (15.6 PPG at Seton Hall), Jaylen Curry (13.3 PPG at UMass), Parsa Fallah (12.8 PPG at Oregon State), Christian Coleman (11.6 PPG at UAB), Vyctorius Miller (8.9 PPG at LSU) and Kanye Clary (6.3 PPG at Mississippi State).

• A few solid nuggets in this Berry Tramel update after the spring portal closed – this line described college football best: 

In the current model, few coaches are building programs. Most are building teams, then next year, building another.
