I’m definitely on the younger side when it comes to this board, so I’ll keep things simple and on the more recent side of OU bball for mine

I’ll be honest, I wanted to throw Isaiah Cousins in...
I'm curious that we haven't heard much on Rylan Griffen. We were leading on him out of high school until LK retired and he ended up at Bama. Very good shooter and long wing. Went to KU and didn't play this year, but that feels like it might've tanked his value a bit and we could get him...
Fair enough, but I actually think this may prove my point. Those guys attended schools that either weren't regulars in the tournament or were borderline tournament schools typically. Meaning the reason they missed out on playing in March is due to the lack of talent around them. Rutgers has been...
Moser had Uzan, Oweh, Soares, Moore, and McCollum on last years roster and missed the tournament. It was probably the most talented team we’ve had since the final four team and we completely missed out on March Madness. And yet you continue to blame resources?
We lost at home to Sam Houston...
Maybe there’s a way to incorporate usage rate to weight the impact of the numbers? Not sure how that would work tbh but just a working suggestion. Would probably have to be weighted based on position because usage rates are much higher for guards than bigs
True, but something tells me regardless of how good those two would've been it would not have offset how much of a hit we'd have taken without Fears. Also, people seem to forget that we somehow operated with over the 13 man scholly limit (it was never made clear if we moved Godwin back to being...
This. I'd go as far to say that had Moser not lucked into Fears at the 11th hour, he would no longer be a coach at the University of Oklahoma. I'll give him props for not getting in his own way and letting Fears grow early in the year, but that doesn't mean he didn't get lucky. This roster was...
One thing is forsure, Moser needs to find the balance between uber athletic/minimal skill (see two years ago) and minimally athletic/higher skill (see this year's team). That may be a rudimentary way of looking at things, but its why I'm a bit hesitant on Campbell. I'd lean towards a guy like...
Which is both good and bad. Good because the number of 4s and 5s out there should allow us to obtain a solid big for relatively cheap should we need to. The bad is that we do not currently have a single guy capable of handling the ball for 25+ minutes a game. I know we have Dayton and Duke - and...
I don't think anyone here is denying the talent Duke has. Many have even stated they expect Duke to win. I think the breakdown here lies in that you are acting like a top 10 Kenpom team OF ALL TIME is going to get boat raced by anyone. People know that Duke is good. I think they're taking...
Also, on the topic of college GMs, why has OU not tried to poach a front office person from the Thunder to come do so? Feels like that should be an easy sell. The Thunder are widely considered to have one of the best front offices in the business, we are seeing tons of NBA front office personnel...
He had a high usage rate as a player, that doesn't necessarily translate to ball hog. It's hard to be a ball hog and lead the entire country in assists. It's hard to be a ball hog and have a 22 assist game in 40 minutes.
Not to be that guy but I've been in and out the past few weeks due to buying a home so I feel a bit out of touch. Do we have a tier list of guys we are in on? Or are we still too early to tell who our real targets are in the portal? I know the dude from Milwaukee had a visit scheduled soon, but...
