Anderson testing NBA draft, again Ben Creider Staff Reporter Oklahoma State may hold some NBA Draft ties. In a release Wednesday morning, the NBA announced its official list of early entry candidates for the 2022 NBA draft. Of the crop of 283 prospects, OSU point guard Avery Anderson was included. Anderson, 21, was a key contributor in 2021-22. He averaged a team-high 12.1 points, along with 3.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals, across 30 regular-season games. Anderson has entered the pool without an
agent, allowing the guard to return to Stillwater during the draft process if he so chooses. As a junior, Anderson is the lone member of coach Mike Boynton’s squad to enter the draft pool early. He is expected to be just one of two draft-eligible Pokes as Bryce Williams could enter the draft pool. Following a sophomore season alongside No. 1 Pick Cade Cunningham, Anderson entered his name into the ballots last season. However, he retrieved his name from entry in May, allowing him to return as an upperclassman with the Cowboys. sports.ed@ocolly.com

“Bob Fenimore was one of the greatest players to ever play at Oklahoma State,” current OSU football coach Mike Gundy said. “It was obviously a different era of the game than what we see today, but the way he dominated in every facet was unbelievable.” Fenimore was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1972, and will join fellow running backs Sanders and Thomas in the Cowboy Ring of Honor later this year. “Bob Fenimore led a team that should be credited with proving early in our history that Oklahoma State can win at the highest levels of college football,” OSU Athletic Director Chad Weiberg said. “He started a long tradition of legendary running backs at OSU.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Many bonuses are tagged with an “or successor” disclaimer to ensure they are not irrelevant if the Big 12 or the College Football Playoff are disbanded and a new conference or playoff format emerges. If Gundy terminates his contract without prior written permission from Weiberg, there will be a hefty buyout. In 2022, the buyout is $5 million. That increases to $6 million in 2023 and beyond. To put that in perspective, USC coach Lincoln Riley’s buyout at Oklahoma was $4.5 million. sports.ed@ocolly.com

WHEN IS LITTLE MUCH?

The woman, who poured the precious ointment on Jesus just before he was crucified, was criticized for “wasting” this expensive item. Yet, Jesus said everywhere the gospel is preached this woman’s action would be told. (Mk 14:3-9) Little things mean a lot as we are willing to serve the Lord. Paul mentions many in Romans 16 who helped him. The Good Samaritan stopped to help the man beaten and robbed. (Lu.10:30-37) Paul writes as you have opportunity, do good to all men, especially to other believers.(Gal.6:10) When the poor widow dropped the two pennies, all that she had, into the temple offering. Jesus said she gave more the large offerings given. Her “large giving” was in relation to what she had. (Mk.12:41-44)
Many people may plan to give when they receive a great amount of money, but that large amount of money may never come. We may plan to give time or talent to a project when we have more time, but that perfect time arrangement may never happen. Again, the apostle Paul encourages us “as you have opportunity, do good to all men.” We never know when a little gesture of kindness, with money, or helping in an area of service, spending a little time with a person, a word of encouragement, will be just the action that will be a great help to someone. These can be practical ways of living out the Lord’s challenge to love one another. This is the fulfilling of the many commandments in the Bible: loving people by word and action.

Cowgirls pick up commitment from Anna Gret Asi
Davis Cordova Staff Reporter On Wednesday, the Oklahoma State Cowgirls picked up a commitment from Arizona transfer Anna Gret Asi. In her commitment announcement on her Instagram, Gret Asi wrote, “I have found a new home away from home and can’t wait to be a part of this amazing group of people,” Asi said. “Get ready for tons of orange, I’m a Cowgirl now.” The 5-foot-8 combo guard, originally from Estonia, saw little playing time last season for the Wildcats where she only played in seven games. Previous to her journey to the United States, Asi played at Tartu University, the national university of Estonia, where she averaged over 20 points per game and shot 38% from three-point range. For OSU, it gets a proven shooter who comes to Stillwater with three years of eligibility left. Asi adds to the three other players, Naomie Alnatas, Landry Williams and Praise Egharevba, who are joining the Cowgirl team in 2022. This commitment puts the 2022 Cowgirl team at 11 members, with six former Cowgirls remaining in the portal. sports.ed@ocolly.com

A volunteer assistant coaching position on the Oklahoma State baseball team. Two kids, Jackson and Ethan, playing on the Stillwater High baseball team. But Holliday made a point to leave Stillwater in February to attend his induction ceremony into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. Holliday spent eight seasons (2009-16) playing for the St. Louis Cardinals, racking up 1,048 hits and 156 home runs with St. Louis. “It was a great honor,” Holliday said. “Anytime you go into any sort of hall of fame it’s a great honor. It was a cool event, got a chance to see a lot of cool people.” The 2022 Missouri Sports Hall of Fame class is an impressive group. Fourteen individuals were inducted alongside Holliday. The group was diverse, as a journalist, scuba diving coach and communications director were honored alongside former professional athletes. Holliday went in with Willie Roaf, Pro Football Hall of Famer, Ken Morrow, a member of the United States hockey team that upset the Soviet Union en route to a gold medal and Forrest Lucas, founder of Lucas of Oil and namesake for Lucas Oil Stadium. “It’s an honor to go into a hall of fame that includes a lot of great Cardinals and Rams and Blues,” Holliday said. “A lot of great people were in that class, it was a fun event.” File Photo

Oklahoma City, and practiced there for a few years until I decided I was going to run for office, so I opened my own law office in downtown Oklahoma City to have flexibility to be able to do this. Running statewide is a full-time job. So currently, I have my own law firm but my full time job these days is running for U.S. Senate. Q: What’s your inspiration to enter the political realm? A: I think so much of it is about being a lifelong Oklahoman and caring deeply about our state and the people. While I was in D.C., then coming back to Oklahoma, showed me how disconnected the representation is in D.C. and the machine that is there. Wanting to make a change and work to be a candidate and U.S. Senator that cares about everyday Oklahomans that have issues that are important to us in our state because what we see right now is nothing but partisan pandering and sound bites that work well for the media while everyday Oklahomans are being left behind. Q: What are the major points of your campaign?
A: We’re focusing on infrastructure, including broadband internet expansion, which promotes the economies in rural areas and is helpful with remote learning in our public schools. Reforming our immigration system is a huge part of it because with the workforce shortage here in Oklahoma, it’s an economic issue. Funding public education here in Oklahoma. My mom is a career public school teacher, so I saw firsthand teacher struggles like my mom spending money out of her own pocket and the lack of resources that public schools have. Then access to health care is another huge one with both the cost of healthcare and access to healthcare in rural areas. All of that on top of protecting democracy, restoring faith in our elections process and promoting our Constitution. These seem like basic things, but we’ve seen them erode a lot over the past several years. See Senate on page 8

Q: James Lankford has held a national position for over a decade, is there belief that now is the time to take Lankford’s seat? A: We’ve seen through James Lankford’s tenure in D.C. that he’s moved further away from reason and further into the throes of the alt right and the more extreme side of the Republican Party. We saw that come together on Jan. 6, 2020, where he fanned the flames of an insurrection before ultimately voting to do the right thing. But, it showed that James Lankford is no longer a representative for Oklahoma. He’s a representative for whatever
major donors outside of Oklahoma and the powers, within the Republican Party, tell him to do. So I think he’s weakened. In fact, I know he is because we have supporters in this campaign who have supported him in the past. People who believe in our democracy and in our Constitution, don’t want to support a candidate who doesn’t. So, absolutely now is the time and I think it’s important for Oklahoma and the future of our country that we do this now. We can’t let him continue to drag us further and further away from the values that we hold. news.ed@ocolly.com
