Three Thoughts

• This is the exhaustive piece about what to look for in today’s Spring Game that you didn’t know you need – and here’s the podcast to enjoy on your drive

• Pokes are sixth in NFL draft picks in the Big 12 since 2016 but (likely) 2nd in wins

• With Burns Hargis and Mike Holder hanging up the spikes this summer, the Big 12’s longest lasting triumvirate will pass to another school with only Mike Gundy remaining:

Since 2008, Gundy has been OSU’s football coach, Holder has been OSU’s AD and Hargis has been OSU’s president. When David Boren left the presidency of OU in 2018, the OSU trio became the longest-serving triumvirate in the Power 5 Conferences.

Two Quotes

• Looking at Teven Jenkins’ NFL stock – this comment from Mike Gundy says a lot:

“I’d be shocked if he is there in the second round after what he did (on his Pro Day),” Gundy said.

• It’s really hard to overvalue the impact of having established, reliable leaders at multiple levels of the Cowboy defense:

“I see those guys and they’re really mentoring the young guys and they’re teaching them,” Knowles said.

Sterling, Rodriguez and Harvell-Peel, who are some of OSU’s most talented players on defense, have guided young players through every scenario in spring practice.

One Question

• Who will be this year’s Charlie Moore all-star of the spring game?
