OSU Bullets

• A report came out yesterday that Eric Morris has retained his general manager from North Texas and has him working in Stillwater (PFB)

• All sorts of angles lining up around OSU football – two recruits decommitting would reasonably be a result of OSU’s new staff going a different direction after starting to work over the weekend (Pokes Report)

• Cowboy Basketball takes on Sam Houston tonight in Stillwater (OKState.com)

• How OSU threaded the coaching carousel (PFB)

• Transfer portal update (tracker here) – a four-star receiver on the roster in Stillwater is headed to the portal,  (PFB)

• Love this take on ranking hires: 

We know that any hire can succeed or bomb, but based purely on “I see the logic, and I agree,” my hire rankings:

1. LSU
2. Virginia Tech
3. Oklahoma St
4. Colorado St
5. Kent St
6. Florida
7. UCLA
8. Auburn
9. Ole Miss
10. Arkansas
11. Stanford
12. Oregon St
13. Michigan St

Non-OSU Bullets

• The rise of “dad clubs” • The face behind “Wendy’s” • Overcoming the negativity bias (faith-based) Conversational tip incoming:

“One easy way to show you care about others is to ask them questions about their life.

• What are they excited about?
• What are they working on?
• What are they hoping for?

Simply asking the question and listening thoughtfully is an act of generosity. You’re giving them the gift of attention.” James Clear
