If you were better than him, then you were either older, or your name was Blake Griffin. He was the second best player in the state.

I'm optimistic about Cole. Then again, I was also hopeful that Cooper could contribute this year. Along with Moore, I love what we have at the 4 spot. I'm hoping that we are trying to find ways to get both on the court. I think they could play together as 4/5 or 3/4.

There is never a year when I wouldn't happily add another Cade Davis to our roster. If he's your first wing off the bench, you're a Sweet 16 caliber team. But when he's your star player...

You poor soul.

Million$ of rea$on$

I don't hate it as a backup 5. I was just hoping for a starting 5, and I'm having a hard time understanding where the Richmond money went.

If you choose to discuss Lon, I can only compare him to the Moser era? Got it. If you exclude the 25 years of Sampson and Tubbs, the Lon era was actually a pretty good era of Sooner basketball.

But I will concede that compared to the Moser and Capel eras, Lon's era is the bright spot of post-Sampson. That isn't saying much. I will also say that the fact that Moser hasn't been fired is a direct byproduct of the Lon era. He absolutely would have been fired by now had he been Sampson's...

Our regular season and conference record last year was essentially indistinguishable from Lon's tenure sans Buddy. Fact. Lon's tenure sans Buddy was also not impressive. Opinion (technically). Even with Buddy, our program took a dip compared to quarter-century era of Tubbs and Sampson. Fact.

I would like to go on record stating that Dayton will lead the country in points and assists. Most of those assists will be to Luke, who sets the NCAA record for 3 pointers.

I'm not excited about our roster at the moment, but I'm pretty confident we don't lose 20.

Yup. Not an impressive pivot.

There were people saying to give Luke a chance, but nobody was projecting him to be a star, or even have a realistic chance at starting. It's embarrassing that you have to make stuff up just to tell people you're smart a year later. Do we need to remind the board that about a year ago you were...

Yup, we all think he's going to be the next Trae Young. Anything less than that and you can run a victory lap and call us all morons.

We're counting it against him that other stars wanted to play alongside him? Odd take. He won titles in Cleveland and LA as well. Those teams were absolutely not super teams that he was joining. The fact that he won titles in three different cities, with different management, different...
