LEGACY BORN: Mike Gundy's high school commitment to Oklahoma State was first step toward 100 career head-coaching victories

STILLWATER — In the winter of 1985, Mike Gundy was a high school senior who quarterbacked Midwest City to a state championship, and the University of Oklahoma had just won a college football national title.

It appeared the homegrown hero would be the next Sooner great, too, as National Signing Day neared and Gundy told The Oklahoman's Bob Hersom, “I just like OU because of its great football tradition and because I get along real well with all of the coaches there.” Gundy committed to crimson.

Oklahoma State fans should be thankful recruits can be so indecisive.
