Mike Holder Regrets Recruiting Comments, Makes Case for Student-Athletes to Come to Stillwater

After (a long) two weeks’ worth of the news cycle, Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder has closed the loop on his end of the comments about Mike Gundy and recruiting he made to us. We still of course have Big 12 Media Days in three weeks, where Gundy will get his turn at the mic, but Holder spoke to the Tulsa World recently and said he regrets the initial quotes.

“What I should have been doing is encouraging me, as the athletic director, to do a better job of getting the message out that this is a great place to get an education and further your dreams as an athlete, not just in football but across the spectrum of every sport that we offer here,” Holder told the Tulsa World.
