• A couple of Cowgirls were named Big 12 soccer players of the week (OKState.com)

• Don’t overlook the Pokes – OSU’s portal losses are one of the “bigger illusions right now in the Big 12:

“Conference championship, I’m taking Texas, but I’m taking them over Oklahoma State, a team I think is going to come out of nowhere and surprise people this year after they fell off a cliff last year. Let me first start with the Cowboys. So, Mike Gundy’s really good. And Mike Gundy knows what he’s doing.

It looks like his roster got gutted by the transfer portal, and I think it’s one of the bigger illusions right now in the Big 12.

• Five-star cornerback Kobe Black may have eliminated the Pokes from his list but he’s still coming to visit Stillwater this fall to visit his brother, Cowboy cornerback Korie Black:

After taking official visits to Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Ohio State during the summer, Black is looking at taking a few more official trips this fall.

“I’m probably going to go to LSU and Oklahoma State,” he said. “I think that’s it for now.”
