Go "Under the Hood" of the philosophical side of Coach Lutz.

And, TBH, he spits some serious FAX in this clip.

Coach was asked how being such a "straight shooter" has worked with the transfer portal, when players can leave whenever they want. He was also asked how he views the pressure of making the NCAA Tournament in his 3rd year at OSU.

Of all the clips, if you want to understand why Coach Lutz has had success everywhere he's been, and why he believes that same approach can work at OSU, this is the one to watch.

Coach Lutz Gets REAL About the Transfer Portal, Pressure & His Philosophy
Michael Hawkins is NOT the same quarterback that OSU fans remember him being at OU. Fit plays such a huge role, and he's found THE best fit he possibly could have with Rich Rod and his offense.

Hawkins is very fast, so OSU will have to fit things correctly, because if they don't, he'll find a crease, and if he does that and gets to the 2nd or 3rd level, I'm not sure we can catch him.

One of the keys, or at least most interesting "Cat and Mouse" games, is how well OSU will be able to confuse his read progressions. Hawkins will be reading the last man on the line of scrimmage for his give/pull reads. If OSU can successfully change who that player is, both with pre-snap alignment and post-snap movement, that would create indecision in his decision-making. And that usually causes hesitation, and that's when you gain ground.

So, confuse the read player, attack the mesh point to reduce the time Hawkins has to make his reads, fit things properly, run everything sideways, then use the sideline as the 12th defender. That's a really good way to beat a player with his kind of speed.

At that point, make him throw into tight windows, and if he's able to do that well enough to win the game that way, you tip your cap, shake his hand, and tell him good job.

But while Hawkins can definitely throw the ball, what we've seen from him is throwing to open receivers who got open because the run game drew a lot of help. That's a different animal than being in situations where you have to throw, go through progressions, navigate a pocket, and complete passes into tight windows.

I'm not saying he can't do that, but I am saying that part of his game we haven't seen much of, so I think we all have to agree that no one is exactly sure how well he would perform in that scenario.

How OSU Can Confuse Michael Hawkins & Stop WVU's Run Game
🚨 HUGE Parsa Fallah Update!

Coach Lutz did not address the legal aspect of Fallah's situation, including his Temporary Restraining Order, but he did talk a LOT about his timeline as he continues to be available.

Coach did say that even though the TRO can be overturned, and no one knows when that will happen, he is preparing the team like they will be there.

They being both Parsa and Kashie.

Then, if/when they are determined not to be eligible, they'll make the adjustments at that point.

And honestly, that's about all you can do with situations like this.

So, Parsa, in case you forgot, tore up his knee at the end of last year and had to have surgery. So, he's not going to be back to any kind of activity until at least around the beginning of November.

There will then be an integration process from there.

So, if he's available and ready to go by Christmas, I think that would be a fair timeline. Anything earlier than that, in terms of being at full speed, would be pretty aggressive, IMO.

Regardless, just having his presence around—and his incredible personality and attitude—will be huge for this team and this program.

🏀 Basketball fans...LISTEN UP!

Homecoming & Hoops is not only BACK, but it's also better!

OSU basketball is going to play Tulsa at 2:30 on the Friday of Homecoming weekend, and it's FREE admission.

This team is talented, and it has every piece at every level. Coach Lutz is confident that if you give them a shot, you'll wanna come back.

So, make plans to get to Stillwater a little earlier. Come to the basketball game, then the walk-around, then the parade, then the football game.

Sound good?

See ya' THERE! 🏀🤠

Parker Robinson didn't take long to impress with his play in Puerto Rico. The dude carried himself with confidence from the second he stepped on the floor, and for good reason—he played very well.

And, he's VERY good! His IQ is as high as it could possibly be.

Robinson was a 4-star recruit who played at Atlanta-based Overtime Elite, which is designed for elite 16-20-year-olds, so he brings great experience with him.

Robinson can shoot the ball, no question, but the way he used his body to maneuver around defenders and gain positioning was very impressive. And, he's working on playing the 1 some, in case this team needs him to do that.

Very confident young man. Super excited about his future at OSU.

Parker Robinson Is VERY Good! Why OSU Fans Should Be Excited
Anthony Felesi can jump out of the gym, he's mature beyond his years, and he has a humble confidence that is very hard to teach—and one you can't fake.

He's from Hawaii, so he credits the culture of where he grew up for his humble nature, and he gives a LOT of credit to his mom for helping him become who he is.

Felesi was originally committed to Pitt, but chose OSU because he liked the coaches and felt like OSU was a fit in terms of the possibilities of his role, as we saw in Puerto Rico.

This dude can flat play!

OSU fans are gonna enjoy watching this young man. Then, when they continue to hear him talk and see how he operates, I think he's gonna be a fan favorite.

Anthony Felesi Can FLAT PLAY! Why OSU Fans Are Going To Love Him
Coach Lutz talks about the super-talented freshman class at OSU.

While this is a day and age with the 5-for-5 where coaches do NOT hesitate to play the best players, regardless of age, physically, it's so difficult to come in and compete with 23-year-old grown men who have been through several years of college basketball.

So, even for players like Jalen Montonati, who has been nothing short of elite, there's a transition period in getting used to the physicality of this level.

Coach also mentioned how proud he was of Latrell Allmond in Puerto Rico. Latrell has dominated on the basketball court to this point, so seeing the way he handled the first game in Puerto Rico was a super impressive "process" piece for him. To bounce back and show what he's capable of was really impressive.

Ant-Anthony Felesi can absolutely jump through the roof, and his potential is somewhere in the alien realm. And, although I've only had the chance to talk to him once, his humble presence draws you to rooting for him. He showed he was ready to contribute on day one in Puerto Rico.

And then there's Parker Robinson.

Dude can shoot the lights out, but he's also a great athlete. He can play both the 1 and the 2, he's physically equipped to handle the rigor of this level of play, and his confidence is ONLY outdone by his intelligence.

Well, maybe that's a push, because I'm not sure one or the other could go any higher.

Gotta love the "build" piece to this roster and the potential to be the perfect combination between that and instant success with the returners from last year and some strategically hand-picked transfers.

I say hand-picked because Coach will tell you that the money he had available to build this roster allowed him to be more selective.

Steve Lutz on OSU’s Super-Talented Freshman Class: Montonati, Allmond, Felesi & Robinson
Kanye Clary should be one of the better point guards in the Big 12, if not all of college basketball.

Those expectations have been put on him by his coaches, and, TBH, I'm sure he wouldn't disagree.

Last year, he took over games with the ball in his hands. He also had plenty of moments where he facilitated. This year, he thinks he's found the perfect mix between the two.

As a point guard, you need to be a leader. You need confidence. You need to know when to assert yourself, but also when to get your teammates going.

And you have to be comfortable with winning being the only goal — even when that means looking at your own stat sheet and putting it second.

Clary is ALL of that.

And he chose to come back to OSU because he wants this to be his home when he looks back on his career.

That's what makes playing at a place like OSU so special. Ask a former player from one of the great teams here how much pride they still have in what they accomplished, and you'll understand.

There is NO amount of money that can replace that.

It's a lifetime of pride that comes from doing things the right way, playing the game the right way, and putting a great product on the floor.

Clary has already earned a lot of that pride.

Now he's looking to put the final touches on it by helping this team reach the goals it has for itself — and the goals an OSU fan base is so hungry for.
