Third Banana

CBS ranked the Pokes the Big 12’s third best football job.

Mike Gundy has done a fantastic job at Oklahoma State, and his accomplishments are a big factor in this job being ranked so highly. But there’s another large factor in play here too, and that factor is named T. Boone Pickens. When you want to build a college football powerhouse, it’s nice to have a generous benefactor with the same goals supporting you along the way. [CBS Sports]

Gundy owning the middle tier of the Big 12 or Boone’s stadium – it’s probably 1A and 1B as far as explaining the rise. But being on top of WVU, Baylor, TCU and Tech is really fun.

Predicting Jawun

There’s a new NBA comp out there for Jawun Evans. Thunder fans won’t love it.

Evans led all point guards in the draft class with a 43.6 assist percentage and has drawn comparisons to Chris Paul from league executives.

Tim Martin, Evans’ trainer, also mentioned the Paul comparison along with another pesky defender.

“I’ve always felt like he has the ability to defend like Patrick Beverley,” Martin told Basketball Insiders. “I’ve been saying that for years. I think he’s got defensive upside like Patrick Beverley and offensively he’s got a lot of similarities with Chris Paul. Once Jawun actually gets guys around him that are your prototypical size in terms of bigs, wings, and specialists in their field, that’s only going to make him a better player at the next level.” [Basketball Insiders]

It’ll be interesting to see how Jawun plays when he’s not getting Russell Westbrook-usage rates. He has been “pesky” at times and it’s likely that he’ll only be more so when he’s not carrying a team to the NCAA tournament.

OSU and NCAA Notes

ESPN ranked the Cheetah the NFL’s fastest….See how all the Big 12 football staffs changed this off-season….2017 has been a tumultuous sports year in Oklahoma….OU is a unique blue blood – only hires 30-somethings….A preseason paper has OSU in the CampingWorld Bowl (woof)

Six New Year’s Six games! That Alamo in 1997 felt like the Super Bowl, never would have expected this rise.

Boys in Oklahoma are (attempting to grow) growing mullets to be like Gundy. Incredible.

Here’s your weekend party/church foyer icebreaker question: more surprised if Zach Sinor doesn’t win the Ray Guy or if James Washington doesn’t get the Biletnikoff?

Other Stuff I’m Reading

Not a soccer guy but this 18-year-old sounds like the real deal for the U.S…..Five good goals for marriage (regardless of belief)….This is what it looks like to have and lose your dream job gracefully (Beware, written by S.I.)….Can’t wait to watch 3-0n-3 in the 2020 Olympics

The mutual point is the underrated hilarious part of it.
