Daily Bullets (June 13): OSU Adding to the Ring of Honor, Hovland’s Chances in LA

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

OSU Bullets

• Terry Miller will be inducted into the Ring of Honor at Boone Pickens Stadium this fall (PFB)

• The Pokes are loading up on talented safeties – OSU landed a commitment from a 2024 defensive back yesterday (PFB)

• CBS gives Viktor Hovland 10-1 odds of winning the U.S. Open in Los Angeles:

(Hovland) blinked in the final round of the 2023 PGA Championship, however, ultimately notching his third straight top-seven finish in a major championship. Hovland is among the top characters in the game and has grown into a fan favorite, but make no mistake, behind that wide smile and contagious laugh is a killer willing to thrash anyone who stands in his way. Odds: 10-1

• If this group would swap OSU to No. 15, it would be a great ranking of CFB programs in the 21st century (Twitter)

• Christian Encarnacion-Strand has been so dominant in the minors – gotta think he’ll be in the Big Leagues before long. (Twitter)

Non-OSU Bullets

• In defense of (NBA champion) Nikola Jokic’s defense

Realignment take – does the Big 12 need to take SDSU to finish off the Pac? Taking their only reasonable replacement for Colorado with the Buffs.

The Pac-12 won’t be blindsided if Colorado does end up leaving. It has been acknowledged around the league that the Buffaloes would be replaced by San Diego State, a quick solution that delivers a desirable market.
