Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:39:35 -0500

Barring an injury, this was always going to be Dez Bryant's last season at Oklahoma State -- All-American receivers who hang out with future Hall-of-Famers tend to have a rather low retention rate for their senior year -- and his suspension for lying to the NCAA last month about his relationship with Deion Sanders only made the leap that much more inevitable. With Bryant's final appeal officially denied today, his high school coach confirmed for the Oklahoman that Dez is officially d...

Dez Bryant's Problems May Not Be Limited To Dez Bryant

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:58:59 -0500

The NCAA's season-long (and therefore career-long, as Bryant is headed for the NFL next year) suspension of Oklahoma State All-American wideout Dez Bryant seemed draconian when it was announced a couple days ago. Bryant got caught lying to NCAA investigators about some hobnobbing with Deion Sanders and possibly nefarious agents. This was met with a general hue and cry about 19- and 20-year-olds making stupid mistakes and the vague hope that the NCAA would rescind or reduce Bryant&#...

I want this guy in 2010: Dez Bryant - WR - OSU

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 20:55:05 -0500

Dez Bryant is a sophomore 6'3", 210 lbs. Oklahoma State WR (#1). He's expected to be a top 5 pick in 2010. If the Eagles were to happen to make the switch to Kolb next year and absolutely suck, maybe we have a chance to get him. Those WR's that rock the #1 always turn out to be pretty good. This is the dude's freshmen highlights (SEE LINK).
