Three Thoughts

• Let’s talk Deondre Jackson – this is a solid Twitter thread looking at him and here’s a solid piece with more info on him and his potential impact on OSU.

Looking at OSU backs of recent history, he feels a little more like a Chris Carson-esque “thunder” back than a Justice Hill “lightning” figure. He feels like he’ll be in line for that 30 percent of carries behind Dominic Richardson from day one with a chance for more if Richardson struggles with ball security.

• Love that Mike Boynton is coaching the U18 team for the US this summer – lotsss of great exposure to blue chip prospects

• Speaking of Coach Mike, This graphic right here is what makes it hard to evaluate Mike Boynton’s abilities – good luck cutting your teeth has a head coach in the Big 12’s piranha-infested waters

Two Quotes

• Congrats to college baseball legend and Cowboy Robin Ventura on finishing his degree:

#OKState student assistant Robin Ventura has a big weekend. He graduates with his degree 34 years after he was drafted.

He’s commuted almost daily from Edmond. Gone to class. Written papers. Heard the jokes, too.

“I’m glad I’m getting my degree.”https://t.co/ytTEpgSxYX

• Cowboy alum Bryce Williams was here for Mike Boynton and his team, not the academic fun.

“Coach Mike and the coaching staff and the players, all this family culture, it makes me want to come back,” Williams said. “But I don’t have no straight answer for you because school is my enemy.”

One Question

• Does the math on the transfer portal make sense to anybody? There’s always been washout on rosters with players leaving but just take a lookiat all the players leaving OSU and those coming in.
