So Mustang's David Glidden is offered by Oklahoma State football on OSU's junior day and Guthrie grad 2009 grad Donte' Foster does not get a scholly offer?Foster a high school stand-out, who did nothing but win and excel in whatever sport he participated in, did not handle the "football" recruiting aspect of things as well as perhaps he could have, but not sure what else the Cowboy coaches would want to see?
Kentrell Brothers attends the same Junior Day as Glidden and can not even get a sit down meeting with head coach Mike Gundy?
By no means am I taking anything away from the 5'8 158 senior to be, but some things just don't make any sense to me sometimes in the recruiting world.
Brothers has been offered by Missouri, Duke, and Kansas State already, but yet can not have a sit down meeting with Gundy. Yes, Brothers is just a junior and will continue to get big time offers from big time schools. Just wish the school 30 minutes away would be one of those to do it.
Brothers had a sit down with Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops during OU's junior day, and it is believed Stoops took time out to watch the Guthrie play maker play basketball. Something Stoops likes to do when it comes to recruiting.
Oklahoma State's sideline reporter and recruiting guru Robert Allen said, "you could easily see him in Oklahoma State's defense as a "star" linebacker with his speed and ability to make plays sideline to sideline."
I understand that Gundy and all major college football coaches get these type of blogs about this kid and that kid not getting recognized, but surely this one is different?
A top 10 kid in this state may have to go play down the road, or up the road with his friends instead of his own back yard. However, there is still plenty of time for the Cowboys to come around. It should only take a 1/8 of a tank of gasoline to get here, or a .43 cent stamp.

Perfect...I love the cowboys but if we have another local player get overlooked by the boys I may become a MU or K State or Duke or Orangeman or well you get my point. If we were from Guthrie TX and not Guthrie, OK he would already have an offer from the boys.
I don't know why you didn't think a look-see and/or sit-down with Bob Stoops wasn't pretty interesting. What would be wrong with Kentrell going to OU? It was good enough for Kingfisher's Curtis Lofton, a linebacker, and look where he is now!
Byron thanks for the comment. I have absolute zero problem with Kentrell going to OU. In fact, if you pinned me down I hope he goes there.
Has there ever been a Guthrie player play for OU football? I dont know of any?
6 major college offers and Top 10 kid in the state and not one meeting with a coach that is 30 minutes away? No sense at all.
It should be pointed out that Byron played at OU, so he has a little bias.
The difference in the Brothers kid and David Glidden is that the Mustang football program is known for its passing game, and the Mustang head coach has alot of pull around OSU. The new OC Dana wanted Josh Cooper really bad out when he was at Texas Tech and prolly feels like Glidden will follow Coopers path. Nothing away from Brothers, he is a great football player bar-none and will do great where ever he ends up.
Wasn't the Mustang head coach the head coach at Guthrie before Mustang?
You are correct, Ty Prestidge was the head coach from 97 to 00 for Guthrie.
