No one is saying OU could compete with Kansas in hoops in regards to tradition, atmosphere, crowd noise, etc - but please don't mention the pros. I seriously doubt there is even a 1% chance he has a better NBA career if he went to Kansas than OU. Kansas has had about 55-60 1st or 2nd round NBA Draft picks all time, and I think OU is at 17. Technically, Kansas 3rd all-NBA team should be as good or better than our 1st team. We'd actually wipe the floor with their 2nd team - and our 2nd team could actually hang with their 2nd team. Since Alvan Adams entered the league, OU has had three different players make the All-Star team and Kansas has had four...just not buying the KU advantage in the NBA.
ya see where I wrote the nba isn't the "end all"? In fact it's a slim chance any of these guys make it...IF a kid is going to spend 3-4 yrs at a school...then all those "other" things are probably a bit more important.
OU competing with ku/unc/duke etc for a recruit in bball is like ....
wics/oregon/a&m in football with OU for a recruit.
just my own opinion...
We can be at their level sometime but not the majority. flame away~
