Daily Bullets (Dec. 9): OSU’s First Doak Walker Award Winner, Early Portal Needs

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

Wrestling: OSU 25, Lehigh 12

Three Thoughts

• Big news last night: Ollie Gordon won OSU’s first Doak Walker award – Barry and Thurman had feedback (PFB)

• Cowboy receiver Blaine Green hit the portal yesterday – to scale his impact, he caught one more pass than Ollie Gordon did… a year ago (PFB) 

• Hard to disagree with this conclusion on what the Pokes need in the transfer portal – a tight end/fullback, a pass rusher and assuming Alan Bowman gets to return, linebacker depth (Sellout Crowd)

Two Quotes

• This would be big for a Cowboy Basketball team in need of support: 

#OKState coach Mike Boynton on Isaiah Miranda's status for Sunday:

"I think he's gonna be available."

A 7-foot-1 floor-spacing center, Miranda hasn't played this season after hip and ankle injuries.

• That’s a lot of wins without a title – feels like the Pokes are due: 

Hopefully this changes soon @Carson_OKC, I don't like being on a graphic with Iowa… pic.twitter.com/FwKTTYjY53

One Question

• How much do you think it would cost to keep Ollie Gordon at Oklahoma State? Over/under $750k?

Non-OSU Bullets

• Big tech ideas in 2024
• Pretty insightful read on why the Timberwolves are praying so well
What is ‘Hanukkah‘?
