OSU Bullets

• A program legend came back and talked with the current Cowboy Football squad (PFB)

• 247’s Scott Wright talked with OSU’s 2027 quarterback commit Carson White in south Texas (GoPokes 247 $$$)

• Drew Mestemaker is drawing opinions – Tom Fornelli is tamping down expectations while an anonymous Big 12 coach is raving:

“The best quarterback in the league is at Oklahoma State,” a Big 12 coach said. “Accurate, sneaky athletic, can make all the throws. He’s an NFL quarterback when you watch his tape. And then you don’t think he’s athletic, but he’s way more athletic than people give him credit for.” [ESPN]

It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment. James Clear
