Reality

Reality finally seems to have set in for Oklahoma State baseball:

Sources confirmed Friday that Anderson has moved to the forefront of athletic director Harry Birdwell's search, with Cal State Fullerton's George Horton and Houston's Rayner Noble no longer in the mix.

Birdwell and three other school officials met with Anderson in Kansas City, Mo., for an extensive interview Thursday. One source said a tour of the campus and Stillwater was possible this weekend.

Horton and Noble have withdrawn from consideration.

I can't speak about Horton, but as I pointed out several days ago, Rayner Noble was never IN the mix. And I seriously doubt Horton was a realistic candidate either.

Anderson seems more realistic -- a quality assistant at a big-time baseball program.
