OWASSO, Ok – Another day, another Oklahoma high school football team camp. I was at the Owasso team camp this past week watching a handful of players across 6A, including Stillwater’s starting quarterback, Gage Gundy.

Gage is coming off a solid junior season in which he led the Pioneers to a 9-3 overall record, 6-1 in 6A-II District 1 play, and a trip to the 6A-II semi-finals, where the Pioneers fell 48-6 to eventual state champions, Bixby.

How many did his father have when he began his stellar career at oSu?
We've had "can't miss QBs" fail. We've had guys like Gundy and Brent Blackman start at oSu that did pretty good jobs considering the talent surrounding them.

Alot of it is talent -- sure. But give me a guy like Doug Flutie that has heart and the will to win over a Bobby Reid who just didn't have "it".
I know there are rules, but do we really want to follow them now?

The only offer he currently holds is Northern Iowa, but I don't think it'll stay that way for long. I'm not saying there's gonna be P5 offers rolling in left and right, but he's a talented athlete/quarterback who's more mature and confident than he was a year ago.

I think we were Corndog's only P5 offer out of Enid HS. He wound up being the starting QB in the Sugar Bowl. Find the guy that can win and play him.

Lot of interesting dynamics going here. Coaching your own son(s), having father as your head coach, recruiting hopeful starters on scholarship but having son(s) competing to play, potential impact on recruits wondering about level playing field issues, impact on son(s) wondering about being treated more harshly in effort to ensure no special treatment, potentially competing with brother for playing time, being the quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator with boss' son(s) in your player groups, etc.! I hope this all goes well for everyone!

do you really think so? (I don't)

Eddie addressed this with Bob Simmons decades ago, he told Bob if he's worth playing then recruit him.

Sean was one of the best PGs that we ever had, Scott definitely earned his scholarship, Nathan was a very good RB for OSU until he got injured.

Gunnar is not even on scholarship, but with our best QB leaving in the portal, then there is not really any competition for the backup spot.

The stuff that you're talking about is grade school and middle school bad parent nonsense, not collegiate scholarship.

can you give us even one example of where this type of nepotism has taken place at the collegiate level?
