Daily Bullets (Jan. 12): Mike Boynton Lands Big Time Recruit, Cowgirls Win in Waco

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

OSU Bullets

• OSU landed the second-best player available for the 2023 basketball recruiting class yesterday, the third-highest ranked recruit Mike Boynton has landed. Here he talks about why he committed to the Pokes.

• Reallly nice win for the Cowgirls as they upset the Baylor Bears on the road in Waco last night

• Who is Alan Bowman, OSU’s new quarterback? And what does it mean to OSU?

• Take in some optimism on Cowboy Basketball based on Mike Boynton’s track record, Cowboy fans.

Things can turn around. Three seasons ago, OSU opened Big 12 play with losses of 85-50 at Tech, 55-41 to West Virginia and 52-40 at Texas Christian. 

But that OSU team rallied to finish 18-14 overall, won its final four games, averaged 68 points a game after that horrid start and was at least in the NCAA Tournament conversation.

• Cowboy receiver John Paul Richardson landed with another Big 12 team yesterday

• CBS has the Pokes finishing at No. 49 in their final ranking – probably about right for a team that played like the tenth-best team in the country for half of the season then the 90th best team for the second half

• What a treat it is to get to listen to Dave Hunziker calling games for the Cowboys – congrats to one of the best in the business!

Non-OSU Bullets

• Ideas for acts of kindness (from a Brit)
• The most important sandwiches this guy has ever eaten, what a way to revisit life

Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye.
