Mike Gundy has high school athlete takes. We saw that last fall when he talked about how cell phones are contributing to a decline readiness for college football. Then earlier this spring he discussed multi-sport athletes.
“I don’t like [specialization],” said Gundy on National Signing Day. “I think high school kids should be able to play as many sports as they want to play. I think we’re getting overwhelmed with travel baseball, softball, volleyball, AAU basketball, 7-on-7 and it’s discouraging some high school athletes to play multiple sports.
“For us, we think it’s best for them to play multiple sports and compete year round.
