Editor’s note: This is the fifth installment of a season-long player diary with Broken Arrow junior football player Bryson Brown. We’ll check in with Brown each week during the season.
I feel like it was kind of crazy to me, kind of shocking that Sam Pittman was fired at Arkansas. But, at the same time, bigger and better things will come to him. In the long run, he’ll be fine. Things happen. Sometimes life isn’t fair. I liked the way he coached. We talked plenty of times. We always had nice conversations.
Does this change my opinion of Arkansas? I mean, not really. We’ll just see how everything goes.
I had the same reaction to Mike Gundy getting fired at Oklahoma State. I was surprised. I met him when I was a sophomore. Am I considering OSU? It’s kind of 50-50 right now.
As far as other upcoming visits, I might go down to Baylor and also Kansas.
Baylor came to the Owasso game last week. I had never spoken to anyone from Baylor. I talked with Kaeron Johnson.
He was a very calm and cool guy. He just said he liked the way I play and things like that. He told me that I am a high-caliber player. I didn’t know he was coming. He just walked up before the game. We talked for probably 20 minutes, then I had to leave and get dressed for the game. We just talked about me coming down to see the school.
I’m excited when any coach comes to talk to me. It shows I am really doing my job and doing what I have to do.
Baylor is a Christian school, I am aware of that. But, other schools are the same way. But, if I feel like a school is not really putting God first, I might back off them.
Can I see myself going to Baylor? God has a plan, wherever he puts me.
The coach did tell me that when I come down, they will offer me in person.
