Colin Carmichael, Cowgirl Soccer Coach, Postgame After the Home Opening Win Over Tulsa
Iman Oates was a HUGE addition to this roster since he became eligible via his temporary restraining order. Oates brings size, strength, and GREAT experience to a defensive front that can use ALL of that. As I always say about him...Let the BIGDAWG EAT! He's a playmaker, not just a roadblock! Coach Cassity will be able to use him in a bunch of different ways to create the "controlled chaos" that his defenses thrive on. So, as per his eligibility, it's temporary! There is a still court case that will determine whether or not he becomes permanently eligible, but he's eligible until then. Which is BIG, because the NCAA and court systems take forever to get their business done, and the longer they take, the better for us. Iman played 2 years at NEO, then redshirted in 2023 at OSU, then played 2 years. Under the old rules, players had 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility. The new rules give players up to five years of eligibility instead of four, and their clock starts as soon as they get on campus. Also, now, thanks to Diego Pavia, JUCO years don't count towards players' clocks or their years of eligibility. So, if you remove the 2 years at NEO, he only has 3 years counted towards his eligibility. That means that, if he wins his court case, he could have 2 years given back to him, which would be HUGE. More on that later. The NCAA determined all 2022 graduates as part of the new rules, but Iman graduated from Edison in 2021, so he doesn't qualify for that exemption. But, even if the 5 for 5 can't be retractively applied in his case, which it likely won't, his JUCO years should be given back to him, like they were Colin Brueggemann. In that scenario, that would give him the 1 year. If it is applied, he'd be eligible for 2. #GoPokes #OkState

OSU Football Practice Breakdown | Every Position Analyzed W/video from Practice
The Tight End position group is also very versatile. Donovan Green is in GREAT shape, and we know Oscar Hammond can flat catch a ball. And, the matchup problems they're gonna create are a play caller's dream. Especially considering the speed & weapons the Cowboys will have at the receiver spot. There are several other receivers we'll cover as we go on, so not to slight them in this post, but the guys mentioned are the leaders in the clubhouse, if you will. But, beyond ALL of that, one of the MOST impressive parts of this group is the diversity in skill set, then the layers of talent from the guys that aren't catching the headlines. Carson Kolb was just given a scholarship, and he has a VERY impressive frame at 6'4/235, and he can run, catch, and is very coordinated in the pass game. Morgan McPhaul is a bowling ball that will be able to attach in conventional tight-end sets and act as a road grader. But, as you'll see in the video, he's VERY capable of slipping out and catching a pass too. I didn't get to see Luke Logan, so I'll reserve comments on him until I do. But Bodie Boydstun is another 6'5 target that has QB experience, so he's a great athlete, especially when taking his size into consideration. This is a deep group, and it's versatile, and it will be interesting to see how it gets used. Make no mistake, they'll allow OSU to go "BIG" if needed, but also be able to flex out into a slot as well. This is a position battle that, as a fan, has a LOT of intrigue. Because it goes beyond "who" and gets into "how". Meaning, who will get the reps, and how will they be used? #GoPokes #OkState
The Most Underrated Position Battle at Oklahoma State? Tight End.
Malik Charles got BIG words from Coach Morris! Dude's a FREAK! The way he can move while hovering around the 300-pound mark isn't something you expect humans to be able to do. And, between him and all of the other D-Lineman who are so versatile, the possibilities to create"controlled chaos" are limitless. Almost all of these guys can both rush the QB and anchor the run game from an interior perspective. And, the "CHAOS," I think we're gonna see from them in terms of movement, is going to put them in a position to do both. And, it will be "CONTROLLED" because, again, it will be gap-based, which is a great combination between being sound and explosive. This has a chance to be one of the most fun position groups to watch all season. LFG! #GoPokes #OkState
Malik Charles is a FREAK and Controlled Chaos is COMIN'!
COWBOY CONVERSATION | Kye Staley - RB '08-'13 Kye Staley was always a star in Guthrie growing up, and I know, because I got to see it firsthand. From playing tight end for Coach Bennett in junior high, to starring at quarterback in high school, to moving back to running back, Staley was always ALL about winning. Sound familiar? It should. He had to reinvent himself all over again at Oklahoma State. Staley came into OSU as a highly touted running back, and, having originally committed to LSU, he changed late in the process so he could be closer to family. Everything was set up, he was where he wanted to be, OSU was on the rise...Then he destroyed his knee. I don't mean hurt his knee, I mean he injured his knee so badly that many say it's the worst knee injury they've ever seen. Staley didn't exactly know what his future at OSU would look like, but he decided to keep giving it a chance. While fighting his way back, he even took up kickboxing to stay in shape because he refused to let the dream die. Staley finally made it back, and just as things were about to take off, he was told that he had to move to fullback. He wasn't too fired up about it, but he's ALL about winning, so he made the move, and the rest is HISTORY! Staley was an original member of the Diamond that Coach Gundy and Coach Holgorsen invented, and was a huge part of the ONLY Big 12 Championship in OSU history. He was also a big part of the historical 2011 Bedlam win, and in this video, he tells that story. In this conversation, Kye Staley shares the story behind the Cowboys' dominant Bedlam victory in 2011 following the tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of Coach Kurt Budke, Miranda Serna, Olin Branstetter, and Paula Branstetter. Staley also reveals that Jamie Blatnick actually scored, and he recalls the emotion inside the locker room leading up to the game. He also explains why that week produced one of the most focused teams he's ever been a part of. He says from the opening snap, the Cowboys knew they were going to make a statement—and the atmosphere inside Boone Pickens Stadium is something he'll never forget. 🎥 If you enjoyed the 2011 season, especially the Bedlam beatdown, you won't want to miss this Cowboy Conversation. #GoPokes #OkState #CowboyConversation
Kye Staley on the 2011 Bedlam Beatdown
Coach Eric Morris had high praise for Drew Mestemaker after Oklahoma State's first practice. Morris said Mestemaker has a complete command of the offense, noting that the game is starting to "slow down" for him while becoming much more vocal about getting everyone lined up and organized. The jump in competition will naturally come with an adjustment period, but Morris believes Mestemaker has the mindset to handle it. Off the field, he's lighthearted and easygoing. Between the lines? Morris says he's a fierce competitor who knows how to "flip that switch." 🎥 Fun clip, it's worth your time to check out. Full Interview: https://youtu.be/QZyhKpIOfEY #GoPokes #OkState
Drew Mestemaker Has Become a Vocal Leader...And He's a SAVAGE on the Field
Coach Eric Morris was asked where Oklahoma State's biggest position battles are taking place, and he immediately pointed to the linebacker room, highlighted by Ethan Wesloski, whom he praised quite a bit. The LBs have a LOT of experience, they're very smart players, they're fast, and they know how to play in space. Super pumped to watch this group! From there, Morris shifted to cornerback, where returning starter LaDainian Fields is joined by talented transfers Maurice Horn, Kollin Lewis, and several other newcomers competing for playing time. Morris said the staff is looking to see who separates themselves as the top four or five corners throughout fall camp. He also singled out Ashton Lepo along the offensive line, saying he's excited about what the veteran transfer brings to the Cowboys. The offensive line may be one of the most experienced position groups on the roster. While much of that experience came before arriving in Stillwater, it's a veteran unit with plenty of talent for Coach Crill to work with. Even more importantly, many of the linemen have either played in this offensive system or have previous experience with the coaching staff, which should significantly shorten the installation process during camp. While this group is experienced, it will take a minute to create some continuity, and that's one of the biggest goals of camp. #GoPokes #OkState 🎥 Full interview available now: https://youtu.be/QZyhKpIOfEY
