Four-star forward Gage Mayfield commits to Oklahoma Porter Moser lands a 6-foot-7 forward and one of the best athletes in the 2026 class. Gage Mayfield, the No. 60 overall recruit in the 2026 class, has committed to the Oklahoma Sooners, he tells 247Sports. The 6-foot-7 forward out of Hale...

He's a 6'7" forward out of Alabama, ranked #60 in the 247 2026 recruit rankings. He picked the Sooners over Vandy, Tennessee and FSU.

And yet we're taking a different risk by playing all the good noncon teams on neutral/road courts. We'd have a better chance of winning those games at home, no? I get that not all of them can be home games or even most of them, but some? One or two?

It was nice to see Buddy, Trae and Jeremy Fears in attendance at the Michigan game on Saturday. I was especially pleased to see Fears there. I hope he'll be a loud-and-proud Sooner alum going forward (it seems as if he's inclined to be).

I can remember an All-College at which Maravich played ( though I didn't see him play). I was pretty young and wasn't following basketball closely as a fan yet, but at a game we attended, my father pointed Maravich out to me; he was in street clothes. I guess LSU had played earlier or wasn't...

I agree with the gel-ing aspect, but I think that can happen just as easily against #150-200. It might even happen more readily against those teams. I mean, we could (warning: ridiculous example follows) play high school teams and absolutely be assured of winning, but what would they gain from...

But from your POV, what would be the problem with playing teams 150 spots higher instead? We'd still win those games and it would boost our schedule strength a bit, which never hurts. What possible upside is there to playing teams in the 300s?

Basketball is an established sport across the board and at OU, men's basketball had a nearly 70-year head start on softball. It's like comparing professional tennis to professional pickleball (if such a thing exists). I don't know where you got your figure of 3,400 per game but according to...

If I had a buck for every time I've seen a prediction along these lines, I could buy myself a decent burger and a beer. Are there fairweather softball fans? Sure, just as there are in every other sport at every school and in pro sports too. But you're basically suggesting that roughly 90% of...

I'm a John Marshall grad, too--class of '76.

"As the Lakers prepare for their lone scheduled decision of the NBA Draft — the No. 55 pick — fans should have realistic expectations for the kind of impact a player taken in the final gasps of the second round can have on a roster." Ironic to read that sentence in a story about Reaves.

I well remember a phone conversation I had with my dad the day of the game. He said, "Chances like this are rare. It could be many years before we're in another basketball title game." I knew he was speaking the truth, and here we are 37 years later without having made it to the championship...

I've been waiting for a Sooner to become a Knick or a Net. The Mets are the only NYC team I have a rooting interest in. I'd like to see Fears playing here.

Phew! That was close! For a second there, I was afraid we might actually play a quality non-con team at LNC.
