Oklahoma has the potential to be a very exciting team to watch. Willie Warren showed last year that he is a dynamic player. The addition of 5-11 freshman guard Tommy Mason-Griffin and 6-9 forward Tiny Gallon could help make up for the loss of Blake Griffin. Expect the Sooners to play a slightly different style from last year when they could pound the ball inside to Griffin.
Without Blake Griffin, Oklahoma doesn't have a large margin of error. That means, Capel said, the players will need to rely on each other more.
Willie Warren looks different, said Capel. "I like the way he has matured. I think he's going to have a big year for us," Capel said.
Capel said there is a great freshman class coming into the Big 12 this season.
Capel said freshman guard Tommy Mason-Griffin, has been as good as anybody in the first six practices.
Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel said his team will be a very different team, but a talented team.
"I like what this team can become," he said. "We have the pieces."
