• This was a helpful perspective from Bobby A. on the rash of Arkansas commitments from the Sooner State.

So, the answer is that one of the Arkansas commits is bothersome (kicker Cameron Little); another the Cowboys loved, but not at the position (Bryce) Stephens wanted to play; and on two-thirds of them not so much. (Keuan Parker, Javion Hunt, A.J. Green, Solomon Wright) [Pokes Report]

• A report is out that Tulsa will be OSU’s opponent in non-conference play this year (makes perfect sense)

• These receivers are battling it out for an outside receiver spot opposite Tylan Wallace in Kasey Dunn’s offense

• Big Ten players come with much smaller demands than the Pac-12 players brought:

Some demands from Big Ten players:
– twice a week testing AND testing on the day of competition
– COVID-19 liability waives banned
– automatic redshirt for a player missing a game for positive/quarantine
– complimentary access to Big Ten Network for players’ families

• Brennan Presley sounds like he’ll be a noisemaker in the slot sooner than later.

#OKState OC/WR Kasey Dunn said freshman Brennan Presley is "obviously a special player. He's going to be a special player for Oklahoma State for a long time."

• First FBS team to cancel their football season.
In other unrelated news, it’s unlikely that UConn beat another FBS team in football this year either.

#UConn is canceling the football season, cosch Randy Edsall confirms to ESPN. First reported by @blauds. First FBS program to cancel for 2020. UConn is an FBS independent.

Liked this James Clear quote:

How to see opportunities others miss:
1) Study a totally different field, then return to the original problem. Apply insights from other domains.
2) Invert the problem. Try to achieve the opposite.
3) Talk to hyper-creative people. Their thinking will rub off.
