Mike Gundy was sitting in front of me during the Spring Game prior to his freshman season. He didn’t talk much, but the few comments I heard him say were very insightful and mature beyond his years. I said to myself, “this kid is no average player.”
I was sitting in the stadium near the field surveying the players and new recruits we had prior to the first Fall practice of Barry’s freshman season. Coach Shimek was calling the running backs while they were seated on the bench right below me. We had signed three excellent prospects. Terrance Miller was the number one or two prospect in Texas. He looked really good. Vernon Brown was one of the top two backs in Oklahoma, as was Nash from Bartlesville. I took a look at Barry while he sat on the bench, and thought to myself, “This kid will never see the field.”
My batting average was 50% on my observations.
