chill man. its not that we don't appreciate that he wants to be a sooner. Its just that we have a very limited number of schollies available and this takes one up. If we want to get back to competing in the big 12, all of our schollies need to go to talent that can have an impact. We have enough role players on the team.

This is the post of the decade for bounce. Finally shows a smidge of common sense. :)

Is it possible he's back finishing up the semester so he can have credits to transfer?

Thats what I'm hearing now is going to happen. Maybe even another scholarship as well possibly...

You have seen him enough to know that he cant be an impact guy?

Thanks.

Try supporting the team. It works better! Guessing you were pretty selfish... Since you were D1, you like your fans bashing all the time or is it nice to get some support?

Just to clarify, you are hearing Abdul is only back to complete the semester, and another scholly (other than Abdul's) will be available? Is this somebody other than Hardrick, too?

Absolutely you always want the arena to have a pulse. I can tell you though, as a player, you really don't notice the crowd too much once the ball tips off.

IMO it's such a fine, delicate line. On one hand, you need a crowd/support for several reasons but on the other hand, this team is a very bad team and not watchable for the CASUAL fan. I highlighted casual because bball aficionados are going to watch regardless. See, so all of us negative and positive posters are actually supporting the team and watching them. We just differ on what we type on this board. As I stated somewhere else in another thread, I'd definitely be at the games if I were in Norman or closer to there. I'm not. I'm at the bottom of Texas and it's not even close to being feasible to fly/drive for every bball game.

Oh and I never said I was a D1 player just that I've played with/against a lot and these days I scrimmage against a lot of NBDL guys. I had D1 talent but it never materialized. There's a long, tragic story behind that. I won't delve into it though. I'm 6'4 about 190 at my peak. I'm white but I can still soar like an eagle. Think Brent Barry. I'm also a dead-eye shooter but not like Rotnei Clarke when he came out. I never had that much determination. I've met the kid (while he was a kid) and he used to shoot thousands of shots a day. I still think he made the wrong choice in attending Ark. Anyways, I did play in college just not D1.

Okay I'm bouncing around whatever little point I had...cvanginal or whatever, stated that people's opinions/evaluations of Abdul's talent were worthless. I'm sorry but Abdul = Orlando Allen (ish). If you think that's the wrong evaluation, that's fine, but don't call it worthless. Is it worthless because it's correct or because it's not your opinion? I bet cvanginal never, ever, ever played a minute of high school, college, or even rec ball.

This debate went for good to bad. From fun to watch to really strange. Brent Barry? Rotnei Clarke? WTF?:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Pretty much like your sentence?

BUT you're right, I went off-topic and hi-jacked this thread. I apologize. I'll exit the board.

Really unless you've seen him play more than he has here you have absolutely no clue whether he is a player or not. He's barely played. If you want to say he isn't a good athlete maybe you can make that argument but have you seen our other bigs? They run like goobs and aren't very athletic. He's at least as athletic as our other bigs. I just don't know how you can say he's a stiff unless you've watched practice. It's just a huge reach. I don't care where you played or whether you scrimmage against the NBDL guys.
 
I'm going to slam Abdul for quitting the team... just before going to Hawaii.

Bad decision making!!
