The school waits till it is complete to announce it, but in previous years we had a lot of info from reporters by now. As each individual game was announced by a reporter, my dread grew based on the series of NET 300 teams.

I can't believe we still haven't even heard any leaks on the home schedule. A lot of teams have already released their entire schedule, but I haven't even seen any rumors regarding our potential opponents. I just DMd Tyler Neal to see if he may have any info, since there has been no news...

Vlad Goldin. Hunter Dickinson. Grant Nelson. Another reminder that the NBA is really good. I always think back to our Michigan game thread and there were people saying there were several NBA players on the court that night, and I was roasted by some when I said Fears and Wolf were the only two...

The ESPN draft analyst just said on SVP that this was the weakest second round in many, many years, and it is due to NIL. He said at least 15 guys who were absolutely certain to be drafted chose to return to college because of NIL. Again, this is well known stuff that no one in the know even...

Congrats, Jeremiah! What an amazing 11 months from when he committed to OU.

Trying to decide where I want Fears to go. Washington is one of the perennial dumpster fires. New Orleans and Brooklyn have at least had some recent success. I would hate for him to end up someplace where there is almost no chance of team success.

It would feel great to win one but nothing will wipe away that night. I was a 12-year-old Sooner fanatic who already despised KU more than any team in any sport, and had to watch the game surrounded by my KU family.

We could win another 50 national titles in other sports (or even a basketball title) and it won't make 83-79 less painful. Every time I see that score when I am watching a game, it makes me sick. Every April 4, I think about it. The entire game from 65-60 on is a never-ending nightmare.

Yeah it sounds like he and his agents feel like there are teams where he would have a better chance to play a leading role from the outset, which I guess could also help him financially both in the near term (marketing) and long term (second contract). Definitely a gamble.

Really interesting that Bailey does not want to go three, four, or five. That could help Fears and others.

I mean, kid is gonna redshirt anyway. Always amazes me that people don’t get visa stuff taken care of months in advance, but then again, with the current sh*tshow, I’m guessing it’s the government’s fault rather than his.

That may not be a bad comp from a body type standpoint. It sounds like Reid is more athletic, whereas Ace was more skilled. We will have a better idea once we start seeing him in action (I am too lazy to pull up video of him at Bama, and even though he had arguably his best game against us, I...

Yea I was speaking specifically about his comment on his shooting. Meaning, it doesn’t seem like he expects his shot to ever become a strength. I don’t mean to imply that he doesn’t think he can be a good overall player. He is an interesting player because I really can’t think of any OU...

I don’t read it as more athletic, just more powerful but not as explosive a jumper. But Moore had a decent outside shot last year and wasn’t bad the year before, so if Reid isn’t a reliable shooter or handler, that could be an issue. Maybe he develops a shot over time, but sounds like Neal isn’t...

It sounds like he is planning to start putting out more basketball content, which would be great. He agreed when I told him that the lack of coverage by the beat writers is frustrating, so I’d love to see him fill that void. He knows his stuff, and is much more realistic than Lusk.
