Daily Bullets (January 29)

Football News

We had Brandon Weeden on the podcast yesterday. A thrill for me (obviously). [PFB]

Why not a Big 12/SEC football challenge? OSU at Auburn. That would be a fabulous matchup. A school that wrote the book on rising up against the Little Brother status and making national waves, against a program threatening to do the same. [NewsOK]

Emmanuel Ogbah invited to the NFL Combine. [PFB]

Look at David Boren being a voice of reason here noting that a conference title game would come with Big 12 expansion. [Yahoo]

Oklahoma State’s best 2012 recruit … Bounced around between fullback and linebacker in 2013 while dealing with injuries. He elected to give up football, declaring “my passion for the game is lost,” and now makes music. [ESPN]

OSU QBs

Keondre Wudtee’s HS coach: “He knew that it meant something to our program for the head coach at Oklahoma State to walk on our campus.” [NewsOK]

Why Coleman Key could factor into OSU’s plans over the next few years. His HS OC: “(Key’s) got all the tools to play at that level. It will be interesting to see how the next couple years unfold for him.” [NewsOK]

Nyc Burns fascinates. I’m all in on the “well he only played one year but it was a really great year” guy. [NewsOK]

Recruiting News

Kyle Boone is doing a daily recruiting recap which is awesome. Everything you need to know is here. [PFB]

Mike Gundy: “The newest fad is, ‘If I’m not playing, I’m leaving.’ That’s why J.W. was so special to us.” [NewsOK]

The lesson (now and always): NEVER. TWEET. AT. RECRUITS. (OR TEENAGERS). [Tulsa World]

OSU’s preferred walk on program grows. [Go Pokes]

The No. 1 overall recruit is a “war daddy.” [247]

Tyrell Alexander is probably gone too? Yeeeesh. [PFB]

Hoops News

Buddy Hield is an all-time Big 12 player. [NewsOK]

No surprise here. The Big 12 is the deepest conference in the country. [ESPN]

Marcus Smart will participate in All Star weekend. Pretty cool. [okstate]

Other sports

Great Tom Holliday interview. [Tulsa World]

More stuff I’m reading

Great interview with Woj on his new site. [Awful Announcing]

Context is the king of mobile. [Medium]
