Daily Bullets (July 26): Eric Morris on Recruiting Challenge, Where BPS Ranks among Big 12 Stadiums

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

OSU Bullets

• Eric Morris on the challenges of recruiting in Year 1, and what OSU fans could expect moving forward.

“It’s hard during this first cycle, I think, because we don’t have a product to show people from Oklahoma State yet,” Morris said. “Everywhere I’ve been. Incarnate Word … in year two and three, it was so much easier to recruit than year one. North Texas, it was so much easier to recruit as you build a winning program. They’re watching your film and they see it. We’re selling a vision right now.” [Tulsa World]

  • BPS ranked fourth among Big 12 stadiums by USA Today.

 Also, a great experience is always in store since it was named the best stadium in a USA TODAY Sports analysis of online reviews. Bonus point for this being where the tarps off tradition began, sparking a nationwide movement when the Cowboys were at their lowest point. When they return the prominence, the home crowd will again have a big influence.
