I've been hard on Gundy's recruiting, but he did a heck of a job locking up: Tylan Wallace, Rodarius Williams, Kasey Dunn & Chuba Hubbard. #OKstate will be favored to make the Big 12 title game & face Oklahoma (who they play in October this year, not the final game).

Huge news for #OkState as RB Chuba Hubbard will return this fall. Both Hubbard and WR Tylan Wallace coming back makes the Cowboys a contender in the Big 12.

He’s coming for that Doak Walker
