Big weekend for the O-State football program.
On Saturday, the Cowboys smoke Missouri State 52-10. Perrish Cox: A star is born. Opening-kickoff TD, interception, 72 punt-return yards.
On Sunday, nationally rated recruit Richetti Jones announces on live television his intention to sign with the Cowboys in February.
``This is a solid decision, 100 percent,'' Jones said on Fox Sports Net Southwest. ``I will take no other visits. Oklahoma State is the place for me. I'll feel right at home.''
Scout.com ranks Jones, of Dallas Lincoln High School, among the top 25 prospects in the nation. He gets a five-star rating, and he chose OSU over Oklahoma and Florida.
The Mike Gundy staff has become a national player in recruiting. The signing of Cox, after he did an about-face on his commitment to LSU, was a huge recruiting triumph for Oklahoma State.
OSU destroyed a Division I-AA Missouri State team. Can the Cowboys be similarly impressive against a I-A opponent? In a game played at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, OSU is favored by two touchdowns over Arkansas State.
