Jaylen Clark (2020) committed to UCLA. 2020 class is probably done, most likely looking at transfers.

So we're likely done.
I'll pass on the likes of Reynolds/Calixte.

Those 2 helped us have a solid season, so that's dumb. I think OU will go for the best transfer available, grad or regular.

Yeah, why would we want two guys who we absolutely wouldn't have made the tournament without.

 

[daqman]

Calixte/Reynolds were warm bodies. Desperate moves after Mcgusty/Shepherd left.
We don't need warm bodies next year.

Calixte/Reynolds made the team better, considering how pitiful Mcgusty & to a lesser extent Shepherd's attitudes were.

Of course they made the team better. Without them Lon would have had to play Lazenby and Geha.

and win the 8/9 game as a slight underdog.....in impressive fashion......that got OU some nice "Gravy on Top" publicity first weekend of the Dance.....lose to eventual champion. though, never really in the game and UVA was a full double-digits better.....there's something respectable about losing to the champ.

those guys (grad transfers) did plateau a bit as the season went on. it all counts. as my granddad used to say about golf: "it's not how, but how many".

 

[WTSooner]

Of course they made the team better. Without them Lon would have had to play Lazenby and Geha.

Yeah, that is a really bad take I've read a couple of times recently. Calixte and Reynolds contributed b/c they were all we had. Sad it came to that really.

 

[BCSooners]

They contributed because they helped us win games that got OU into the Dance. It's sad that MgGusty & Shepherd transferred because they couldn't buy into their role.

And yet another thread is derailed by negativity.

And yet another thread is derailed by negativity.

Dude its a message board.. id rather have debate (even if annoying/monotonous at times. Ie. Abd and his juco boner ) than an uninteresting circle jerk of how great everyone/everything is

 

[Abe]

Ok, for next year we have 4 seniors, 2 juniors, 3 sophomores and 3 freshman. Getting the best player available from JC or a freshman balances the roster. Either way is a win-win. I see a lot of guessing but is there a consensus on who may get?

I think he's talking about 2020.

My guess is best transfer (grad or regular). They just missed on the only freshman target that I've read about.

Speaking of juco boners... Anyone see Mason Jones score 40 against Auburn the other night? He averages 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game on the season.

His last 5 games are:

40 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds against #11 Auburn
30 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist against Alabama
34 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists against South Carolina
20 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists against TCU
20 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists against Mississippi State

About 40% from 3 during this stretch.

Junior college transfer from Oklahoma. No Okahoma offer or interest. He was 2 hours away by car.

At that point in recruiting history Oklahoma had flown 5,000 miles to Finland for Hannes Polla... 7,600 miles to New Zealand for Matt Freeman... 1800 miles to Maine for Aaron Calixte... and 1,400 miles to California for Miles Reynolds.

But they didn't offer Mason Jones who was 135 miles away and had 3 years to play.

Defend it.
