Daily Bullets (Oct. 28): (Some) Reinforcements Coming, What Would Holder Do?

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

OSU Bullets

• Some small amount of good news – with only four games remaining for the Cowboys, they’ll get some freshman reinforcements (PFB)

• Top quotes from Doug Meacham’s press conference – including thoughts on Zane Flores’ potential return (PFB)

• Bill Haisten interviewed Mike Holder last month and had an interesting observation after the time:

I believe Holder would have fired (Mike) Gundy in December, and that the 2025 Cowboys would be rebuilding with a new coach. Instead, Weiberg’s selection will be in the driver’s seat for the start of the 2026 rebuild. [TulsaWorld]

• This guy won some awards for his play for Utah last week – would have been really nice to keep this Oklahoma boy in-state (247 Sports)

• Solid thoughts in the Texas Tech recap from Carson and Colby – insightful stuff on the coaching search (PFB)

• This was probably the most compelling thing Meacham shared yesterday:

Full quote from Meacham on Hauss Hejny: “I know he wants to play. And I think once we get to the open date, there will be a hard discussion that has to take place that he and I and his parents and everyone (will have) and see what everyone wants to do.” https://t.co/wJul9u5qUd
