Hey Coachtalk, that's a bummer for Williamson. He maybe my favorite guy we are pursuing. Certainly understandable based off of his talent that everyone else will come calling. Was there any word about his visit a couple weeks ago or am I mistaken?
I like Armstrong a lot as well. The kid has some bulldog in him. He'd slide into Rashard Odomes role and potentially be a more all around version pretty early IMO. That's not a knock on Odomes btw. I'm not going to knock a guy that brings his lunch pail every game. Myself, I would try carrying the pail with my right hand from time to time but I like to keep it fresh. Tom foolery aside, I expect Odoems to have his best year yet. He might leave us wondering if a few minutes his freshman year was worth pulling the redshirt combined with the roster turnover next year. Shoulda coulda summer talk.
Coach, where do you see us going for our wings?
Kevin Mccullr seems to be headed to Tumbleweed-Tech. What was the deal with him? I thought he reclassified for this year. SIAP
Zach Harvey would be awesome. Maybe Kansas gets their's and runs out of room. He's got offers from UCLA, Stanford, NW, ND, Navy, Buckeyes, Maryland and Wake Forest. Doesn't seem to promising. Maybe distance will be a deciding factor and taking journalism classes from Eschbach helps negates a Stanford or NW education. Fingers crossed chenohawk block.
I wouldn't be surprised if Emanuel Miller picked OU. Just a feeling and nothing but conjecture on my part. I don't know much about him but it just seems like a solid Lon move here if we miss out on the top big dogs. He's got offers from Illinois, SMU, Pitt with Ohio state interested but no offer. I think we are his best option with a position of need while those schools already have players on roster.
Funny side note, 247 has the team roster position link for OU small forwards showing 2 on roster. One is Doolittle and the other is Freeman. Freeman is listed at 5'10" 217 pounds.
I'll ask a question I haven't seen brought up to my knowledge. Is it certain Jalen Wilson is 100% to Meatchicken? I'm a glutton for punishment so put a little on it if you must.
Michigan has offered some big time players so I was surprised to see they are after the Girard kid from NY. Looked up a article from June 18th and Girard released his top six consisting of Duke, Michigan, ND, Syracuse, BC, and Penn St. Not bad for a 6'1" non playmaking SG. Ranked the 145th player in the country by 247. Joseph is compared to and attends the same school as Jimmer Fredet. Girard has the most points for a career in New York high school history, out scoring second place Lance Stephenson by over 400 points in 3 years. He may put that to bed for good if he comes close to 50 a game like last season. I will follow his career just for the countless arguments about "how good is he really" drama that will follow but it's looking like Duke at the moment so I'll wish for misses. I like the undersized guy quieting the doubters. Maybe it's the Muggsy Bogues or Spud Webb fan in me. The state of Oklahoma has had it's fair share as well.
