The introductions are over, the current players have been recruited back to Oklahoma State, and the new coach, Brad Underwood is\u00a0hiring of those he wants to help him coach the team in 2016-2017.\u00a0 The Suttons are back in the fold, the fans are itchy for a significant improvement, and the Big Twelve Conference has a new guy on the block to deal with in Stillwater.\u00a0 Want any more?\u00a0 Brad Underwood can bring it, and Cowboy fans get your seat in the saddle as this horse is ready to ride off into the land of victories.\u00a0 OSU can win big in Underwood’s initial season for a host of reason, but we can dwell on one immediately.\u00a0 Underwood has paid his dues to the coaching profession and has learned how a winning program does it’s business in the right way.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
OSU has hired a coach that\u00a0bases his program\u00a0in\u00a0the fundamentals of not only hard work, but smart work,\u00a0 the two\u00a0essentials of a\u00a0successful basketball team.\u00a0 His players will be\u00a0schooled in smarts, making the correct decisions, and playing within themselves.\u00a0\u00a0The athletic ability\u00a0of his players, in time,\u00a0will match the intensity of the play, especially on defense, and in time, on offense.\u00a0 The time of a\u00a0team just playing hard for the coach\u00a0is over on the hardwood of Sutton’s court.\u00a0Underwood will put on the floor a team\u00a0that will be schooled in proper play, a thing that Eddie Sutton and\u00a0Mr.Iba’s\u00a0teams\u00a0always accomplished, in wins, and even in losses.\u00a0 No more will players look like they are out of place, out of synch. Underwood will have none of that.\u00a0 If they play stupid ball, it won’t be long that\u00a0they won’t play\u00a0in his system on his team.\u00a0 Coach Sutton and Mr.\u00a0Iba\u00a0were just like that, in spades.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the returning player (will not mention by name), the Pokes might have the best player in the league next year,\u00a0along with\u00a0other\u00a0fine players that will lean to play the game the right way.\u00a0 Former Coach Travis Ford didn’t recruit bad players.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
OSU, in my opinion, will win immediately. Underwood did at Stephen F. Austin University\u00a0and\u00a0he will continue\u00a0to do the same at Oklahoma State.\u00a0 Times are changing for the good and if you are a basketball supporter for the Pokes, those times will be exciting and victorious.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
