OSU-Auburn recap

Travis Ford said the plan was to let Auburn have layups: “To be able to keep them from making any (3s in the second half) is really amazing, and it was just really good of our team to pay attention to detail. We were at the point where we were able to give up some layups.” [AP]

Arkansas is hanging a banner for Eddie Sutton. Can I get the NCAA to follow suit? [NewsOK]

Keiton Page has his number retired (at Pawnee)[okstate]

Do you need a blue-chip QB? [Football Study Hall]

Good article on Justice Hill. Underscores the importance of getting your entire class together in one place before they all sign. It’s more difficult to de-commit from people than it is to de-commit from avatars. [NewsOK]

Could Oklahoma State take advantage of the Ole Miss NCAA allegations situation? [PFB]

Here is the daily recruiting recap from Friday. Cool stuff from Kyle Boone. [PFB]

Corey Brown and Tom Holliday get put in the OSU baseball HOF. Lots of bald, bearded me. Brown is the best pure baseball player I’ve ever seen up close. A freak. [okstate]
