Size Matters

This could probably be the catchphrase for a lot of the spring football position battles (tackle and quarterback included) but it will certainly come into play as the receivers fight for position.

LC Greenwood/Braydon Johnson/Patrick McKaufman: Oklahoma State returns four receivers with experience: Jalen McCleskey, Dillon Stoner, Tyron Johnson and Tylan Wallace. But there will be snaps and targets available for some of Kasey Dunn’s younger prospects. At 6-foot-3 and 6-foot-6, respectively, Greenwood and McKaufman could compete to fill the holes left by Marcell Ateman and Chris Lacy’s departures. [TulsaWorld]

Then you insert the 6’5″ CJ Moore into the discussion over the summer and you start to feel like you can somewhat adequately address the loss of NFL-bound Marcell Ateman.

We’re Not in Kentucky Anymore

Western Kentucky’s leading scorer had fine things to say about the Madison Square Garden of the Plains.

In a news conference on Saturday, as WKU prepares for the NIT semifinals, Western Kentucky senior Justin Johnson called it “the loudest place I’ve ever played a game of basketball in.”

The announced crowd for WKU’s 92-84 win over OSU was 11,308, more than 2,000 shy of a sellout. It was the third-largest crowd for an Oklahoma State home game this season (Bedlam was the only sellout).

In an interview shared by Chad Bishop of WBKO-TV, Johnson said the noise level was so high it affected Western Kentucky’s ability to communicate.

“You had to read lips and hand signals,” Johnson said. “That’s the only way. … Coach talked about communicating the play in the halfcourt, you couldn’t hear each other. It was that loud.” [TulsaWorld]

Another feather in Mike Boynton’s had to have brought the heat for a Conference USA opponent for a weeknight bout. The piece mentions the Hilltoppers have competed at Louisville, Wisconsin, Xavier and Minnesota – other teams with tradition.

OSU and NCAA Notes

National title or bust for No. 1 Cowboy Golf squad….A touching story about a terminally-ill Jayhawk fan and their tournament run….Big 12 is adding a pitch clock to speed baseball games up….This Loyola team’s Final Four run seems surreal….Are the Jayhawks good enough to be ‘Nova?

All the Cowboys.

Second best among the big dawgs (who faced real competition)

Put it on your calendars, Pokes.

An impressive climb.
