Daily Bullets (June 7)

Proven Commodities

Mason Rudolph and James Washington top the list of best fourth-year players returning… in all of college football. And they are likely to should get even better.

If Rudolph can improve his accuracy, Washington’s numbers are likely to be even better, as only 59.6 percent of short and intermediate passes (throws that traveled less than 20 yards through the air) targeting Washington were catchable last season. [ESPN Insider – $]

Note: Mason was No. 1 and Washington was No. 2 on the list.

The article notes something that’s insane: Rudolph’s short-to-mid game is pretty *Mike Gundy voice* average. If Mason can get timing routes and stop curls down, this thing gets real dicey for defensive coordinators.

Jazzy Jawun

A new draft destination for Jawun in a recent mock draft.

30. Jazz   Jawun Evans, PG, Oklahoma State
Evans is little and not necessarily a run-the-team point guard. But he’s so good in pick-and-roll situations that there’s no obvious reason he can’t become an instant-offense scorer off of somebody’s bench. [CBS Sports]

The Utah starter George Hill is an unrestricted free agent this summer, a solid insurance pick if he walks.

OSU and NCAA Notes

Where all FBS head coaches were ten years ago (one guy was TD Ameritrade’s CEO)….Walk-on basketballer transferring to Oklahoma Christian….Michael Hunter looks to have a solid shot at making the NY Giants roster….Ole Miss responded to allegations yesterday, some are pretty egregious

Former walk-on Cowboy wideout landed at Marshall

Gundy has figured out how to run a 200 person organization in such a way that the sum is 9-10 wins a year, very impressive.

The best part of the OU women winning the softball title.

Why did @notthefakeSVP just say "Go Pokes" when #OU just won the National Championship haha wrong school my man!
