Daily Bullets (Apr. 14): ‘Optimism is Understandable,’ Pokes add UNC Wing

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

OSU Bullets

• Steve Lutz landed his first commitment from the transfer portal – a wing from the North Carolina Tarheels (PFB)

• Cowgirl Basketball added a touted recruit, while the men’s team has a productive, defensive stalwart visiting campus (PFB)

• Curious about this – Big 12 blogger ranks OSU the No. 6 football program in the Big 12: 

The Cowboys really stepped up their financial commitment to football with the hiring of new head coach Eric Morris. They secured a top-10 portal class that includes expensive North Texas transfers following their coach to Stillwater. And speaking of strong foundations, Oklahoma State has been one of college football’s most consistent winners over the last two decades. We’ll see if Morris’ teams play enough defense, but the optimism is understandable. [Open for Business]
