Mike Gundy's vision for 'mega camps' has become reality

One year ago Mike Gundy and his coaching staff at Oklahoma State looked around and recognized a changing landscape. Team satellite camps had become commonplace, making it harder and harder to convince prospects to pick camps that featured the Cowboys, resulting in a less-fruitful experience for everyone involved.

“We felt like we needed to do something different,” Gundy said.

And so ...

“We came up with the ‘Wal-Mart theory,’ where you can go to one building and get everything you need,” he said. “So we started recruiting other schools."

This week that vision has come to fruition with Oklahoma State among several teams working “mega camps” across the state of Texas.
