Agree 100%. I only support it as it appears it is the only option. No plans, drive, discussions, or interest to upgrade or renovate LNC. Not enough funds or BMD interest to build a new on-campus arena through the University efforts. It seems like this is the only chance to upgrade...

Since when did NCAA rules matter or have any bite… Seriously there was a rule on GPA and academic progress standards but that was before free unlimited penalty-free transfers and before the NCAA was rendered toothless by the P5 conferences and court decisions. Haven’t seen any enforcement or...

Anyone know how long they have after a coaching change to enter the portal, when the normal window is closed? I’d hate to be a coach having to manage the portal in this age of immediate eligibility, NIL, and practically unlimited transfers. A job within itself. It’s why each major sport...

So I guess this isnt really entering the portal? He just never technically left, only committed?

LeBron is listed on the Lakers website at 250 lbs. Of those listed, that would only be heavier than Parrish, and equal or shorter than all those mentioned. And Malone played at about 260 IIRC.

True, but OP has a point that LBJ would not have thrived in the same way with the rules and game of that day. Maybe not as successful, but a great enough athlete, I'm sure he would have adapted. But it is also absurd to say he was bigger and stronger than 6'11'' 250 Bill Laimbeer and 7'1" 245...

1100 players still in the portal. With Reeves, there was more upside/potential than immediate help. I'd rather have those Onyeso or Anchor. Or someone proven, not just a record of injuries and potential. We will fill the needed spots. The question is with whom and how good they are to...

Hopefully, for ORU's sake, he doesn't run out of bounds when pressured in key moments or turnover the ball more than he scores. Seriously, he played the AAU circuit in Texas and did okay, but thought he signed somewhere else. If he's as good of an athlete as his mom and pops he can probably...

In addition to giving to the athletic dorms, didn't he basically fund the tennis facilities? IIRC, he played tennis at OU. Great alum and welathy, but a big difference between naming rights on a dorm or funds for a tennis center vs. the funds needed to build/start a $200MM arena.

And no contracts. That is essentially the college sports, particularly basketball, model RN. Unlimited free agency with no terms to stay at a program. Imagine if SGA leaves OKC to join the Knicks on a huge FA deal, then decides he doesn't like it and moves to Boston mid or end of the year...

Been out of town all week attending a conference in Seattle so I feel like I missed a lot of the news and discussion... But I agree, "IF" we can make these last couple of spots happen with Kadary and Reeves, IMO, that looks better than a roster with guys like Pedulla, Overton, Scott, Garrison...

Agree. But with as badly as Pope needs players, he's probably thinking it's worth the gamble to see if he can be November-January Otega. Because the February March was BAAD. He has zero players on the roster with 3-4 commits, so it's probably worth that risk for an experienced P6 athletic...

Don't necessarily disagree. But we're trying to find starters RN. We need a wing, a big, and a PG. Out of the starting five. His spot or schollie means nothing at this point. If we get all 5 spots filled, THEN we can worry about if we could upgrade Yaya's spot. Because at this point...

But is it questionable and who says he's not contributing? I would like to have better than Yaya too, but every team has a #12 and #13 on the roster. My point is not every player needs to have minutes on the floor or be in the box score to help the team. Not every one of the 13 schollies is...

Agreed if we could get better. But at this point, and with the lack of success at filling spots, processing Yaya will only get us a Maks-type roster position anyway. Someone that is just filling a spot because it's there. Might as well keep someone who has shown a good attitude, positivity...
