Finishing Touches

Bobby A. reports in on move-in day in the West End Zone.

Now joining the recruiting effort are recruiting analysts Matt Clements, who came from a graduate assistant role at Pittsburg State University; Jordan Martin, who was at the University of Houston; Josh Gonzales, who was a graduate assistant coach at NCAA Division III power Mary Hardin-Baylor; and Matt Butterfield, who has been assisting at Oklahoma State. All of those individuals will assist in the recruiting effort on-campus only.

Now as for the staff, Greg Richmond has arrived and moved in as the new 10th full-time assistant coach. New defensive coordinator Jim Knowles has been here for over a week and is settled in. Others we believe have checked in, include new offensive analysts Bob Stitt and Brian Rock, defensive analyst Chris Thurmond, special teams analyst M.K. Taylor, new graduate assistant Shane Eachus. Eachus has added a partner on the staff as former TCU student coach and Stephen F. Austin offensive line quality control coach Chris Meyers has been added and will help Josh Henson with the offensive line. One source told me today that you may have needed a program for the staff meeting, but the new members were all already contributing. [GoPoke$]

The dozen additions to the football staff is impressive in it’s quantity.

This was the first I had heard of specific recruiting analyst roles being handed out – let’s Georgia this thing.

New Blood

Mike Boynton has been hard at it – wisely capitalizing on his big win last weekend.

After Memorial coach Bobby Allison presided over a late-morning shootaround session, he and his players watched the OSU-West Virginia telecast. Allison said he was stunned to see the Cowboy coaches in the BOK Center only 6½ hours after OSU won in Morgantown.

“It was incredibly impressive to get one of the biggest road wins you can possibly get, and then for (Boynton) to make watching Oklahoma kids that much of a priority on the same day,” Allison said. “It shows a work ethic and how important his job is to him. Coach Boynton is just very approachable and doesn’t seem to have an ego.”

Allison reported that Boynton has offered a scholarship to each of Memorial’s 6-foot-7 twin brothers, Kalib and Keylan Boone. [TulsaWorld]

This seems like a no-brainer – go get dudes if you want to win. But after reading a report a national-title winning coach not pushing for nearby stars, the ethic is something to appreciate.

OSU and NCAA Notes

In what feels sacrilegious, Tramel eulogizes homecourt advantage at GIA….FBI probe/NCAA basketball investigation could have a large scale effect….Tickets are up for sale to the Big 12 Tournament….Declining college football attendance is a large-scale issue….Per 247 recruiting, OSU isn’t in the ballpark of top-25 recruiting programs – wins would say otherwise

Just in time for Spencer Sanders to finish.

Only reasonable but will be interesting.

A neat continuation of the Iowa wave.

Sounds like the Lamont Evans case will wait a while.
