Daily Bullets (Dec. 27): Reviewing 2025, Couple of Hires Leaking

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

Three Thoughts

• OSU put out a 2025 year in review – goodness, non-revenue sports really delivered (OKState.com)

• Couple of more staff hires leaking out – Eric Morris is bringing his special teams coordinator from UNT and Robert Allen’s crew announced OSU is hiring the SWOSU offensive coordinator to the staff (Football Scoop + Pokes Report)

• Love this prediction about OSU Basketball, really needed after a terrible football season: 

This team still has its flaws (namely defensively), so I’ll slightly pump the brakes on what the expectations will be in the tournament for now, but I feel confident this group will scrap enough in a tough Big 12 to hear its name on Selection Sunday. [PFB]

Two Quotes

• This would be a nice add for the Pokes if they can get him: 

North Texas two-time all-conference offensive guard Johnny Dickson is entering the transfer portal, @APSportsAgency tells me, @chris_hummer and @CodyNagel247.
