OSU Using Pokemon To Catch Texas A&M Commit

Oklahoma State is smartly using the Pokemon theme to “catch ’em all” in their recruiting campaigns.

And wisely, the coaching staff is using the Pokemon rage in an effort to flip Texas A&M running back pledge, and long time target Travis Etienne Jr. Here is the graphic he posted to his twitter account:

Etienne Jr. pledged to A&M after an unofficial visit in early June, after showing strong interest in OSU naming them in his top schools. While Etienne is committed to A&M, OSU is still pursuing the three-star prospect from Jennings, LA. And this is a cool, unique way to keep his attention.

Perhaps the nice recruiting spin the Pokes coaching staff is using with the Pokemon craze will help sway him into reconsidering the Cowboys.
