He should be, but it’s been a long time since he’s played real minutes, and it seems like they favor Nwankwo a little. There aren’t really minutes available at the 2 if Forsythe is going to play 20 minutes, because Brown & Pack will get 30 each. Maybe he gets more against bigger guards or something.
He’s probably going to have to cut into the minutes available at the 3. You’ve got 80 available for Reid, Nwankwo, & Davis at the 3/4 spots. If they’re going to actually give Atak minutes, throw him in there too.
I wouldn’t be shocked if he had a role and I think he’s good enough. Every time I’ve posted a mock minute breakdown here I’ve included him. The minutes just have to come from somewhere. Maybe we play small at the 5 more than in the past and that provides some extra room for PT at the 3. We went about 10 mins without Wague or Rogers on the court in the scrimmage.

He’ll probably be back by Christmas but hate that for the young man.

Relevant for our second opponent. He was really good a couple year ago but struggled a bit last season at Grand Canyon.

I guess I missed the part where the ncaa is allowing G league players to come back and play college basketball. What a joke. They’re so afraid of getting sued, they can’t do anything right.
We need sweeping reform on eligibility. Start the clock when they graduate high school. 5 years of eligibility no matter what. No redshirts. No hardship waivers. No 25 yr olds playing college sports. No exceptions. It’s not rocket science.

Here's hoping it is on the actual TV network!

I think there was a thought that the Nebraska game may be, but looking at the Big 10 schedule, there are no other games going on at that time. You’d think that means ours will be on TV.

The Athletic's Jim Root today had what struck me as a somewhat gimmicky story entitled, "Which men’s NCAA Tournament teams are in danger of missing the field in 2026?" OU came in at #6.
Here's what he wrote:
***
6. Oklahoma
Why They’ll Miss It: Porter Moser’s pattern of nonconference success continued last year, and the Sooners’ SEC swoon nearly cost them an NCAA Tournament bid. Oklahoma did not lose a single game until January, but Moser has yet to post even a .500 record in conference play.
Everyone who started more than four games for that at-large squad is now gone, and Moser had to swiftly find some alternatives in the portal. To his credit, he scooped up a talented quartet in Xzayvier Brown, Nijel Pack, Tae Davis and Derrion Reid.
Where Moser missed, though, was in finding another big man to reinforce the Sooners’ shaky interior. Oklahoma ranked 324th nationally and 13th in the SEC in 2-pointer percentage allowed, sorely lacking in paint intimidation. The Sooners also ranked 283rd in defensive rebound rate, easily the worst ranking of Moser’s 21-year head coaching tenure.
Mo Wague is a serviceable center, but when you commit 7.8 fouls per 40 minutes as he did last year, you struggle to stay on the floor. The depth behind him is shaky at best. In the uber-athletic SEC, it is incredibly difficult to survive while getting crushed around the basket. Some of the SEC’s 14 participants from this past March will fall out, and Oklahoma is certainly a candidate.
Why They Actually Will Make It Again: The Sooners’ offense is going to be tough to stop. Pack is a proven power-conference scorer, and pairing him with Brown gives Moser two lethal perimeter threats who can also create for others. Plus, Dayton Forsythe is an emerging scoring threat. Reid and Davis will be a matchup nightmare duo at the forward spots, and the Sooners should get a defensive boost from Jadon Jones and Jeff Nwankwo, both of whom missed all of last season.
***
His points are fair enough, but to not even mention Kai Rogers makes me question how well he did his homework.
