Daily Bullets (March 23)

Welcome, Brad Underwood

Great job here by Mark Cooper breaking down what Underwood’s teams have been great at. [Tulsa World]

I’m being talked into the Underwood era in Stillwater. This is some good stuff from former players. [NewsOK]

Brad Underwood’s nickname used to be “the mayor” which means we have officially come full circle. [Tulsa World]

Frank Martin: “There’s not too many times in this business where you end up at … one of the places where you dream about and you respect. And that happened for him.” [NewsOK]

Brad Underwood turned down OSU as a player 32 years ago. [NewsOK]

One OSU recruit was only considering one other school … SFA. [Tulsa World]

If you’re in Stillwater, you should go check out the new ball coach today at 1:30 p.m. [okstate]

Robert Allen makes predictions on which players will leave and which will stay (spoiler: he doesn’t think anyone is leaving). [Go Pokes]

PFB Coverage

Why does it feel like I’m the only one even asking questions about whether Underwood is going to be good? [PFB]

Brad Underwood seems pumped about GIA. [PFB]

Mike Holder thinks Underwood is a great fit. [PFB]

Social media reaction. [PFB]

Desmond Mason (!!) had a plan to take over as the OSU coach. What?! [PFB]

Boone Pickens supports the hire. [PFB]

Frank Martin calls the Underwood hire “phenomenal.” [PFB]

Carson and I debate the hire on the pod. He’s more pro than I am. [PFB]

Underwood wants to bring the defensive tenacity back to GIA. Yes. Yes. Yes. [PFB]

The Underwood family visits GIA together. Watch here. [PFB]

So long, Doug (for now)

This from Robert Whetsell is (predictably) smart and well done. [CRFF]

Underwood was the safe choice that needed to be made to save a teetering program; Gottlieb was a risk. But he was a risk I was willing and ready to take. [O’Colly]

Gottlieb doesn’t want to be an assistant at OSU. [PFB]
