I am always amazed when OU fans (of all people) dislike junior college recruits.. The same school that went to a final four and could have won a championship with 3 juco starters. The same school that owes a great deal of its success in the Big 12 to junior college talent.
Me too. Both final four teams had three juco starters. In 1988 Harvey Grant, Ricky Grace and Mookie Blaylock came from Jucos. The most recent team had Ere, Q, McGhee starting from Jucos plus Joseph Szesdrie, Jason Dietrik and I think Selvy were key contributors from Jucos.
OU has had so many juco players contribute over the years. Ricky Grace, Mookie Blaylock, Harvey Grant, Skeeter Henry, Wylie, Smokie McCovery, Greg Bell, Jackie Jones, Bryan Sallier, John Ontjes, Nate Erdmann, Corey Brewer, Ernnie Abercrombie, William Davis, Aarron McGhee, Nolan Johnson, Taj Gray, Michael Neal, Kelly Newton, Quannas White, Ebi Ere, Jason Deitrik, Darian Selvy, Bryant Vann, Tyrrell Everett and I am sure I am leaving some key players off this list. OU basketball has been built with Juco players.
