Hollis and Quannas together again on the LNC court? I think I just went from six to midnight.

Wish Eduardo, Minor, Ere, Erdmann, and Ace were going to be there, but that is a good list of players.

Ere and Erdmann are on the list, but I agree about the other three.

Glad to see guys like Hollis Price, Quannas White and Ebi Ere on the list. Those are some of the players I grew up watching and their 2002 Final Four run is really when I became an avid follower of Sooner hoops. Good to see them honor that! I'll definitely be there!

Ere and Erdmann are on the list, but I agree about the other three.

Oops.

 

[GParker]

I will be there. Who are you guys most excited to see return to the LNC?

I am sad that Harvey Grant is not on the list.

Shows Kruger is going in the right direction embracing the Sooner past. This will further help him to be embraced by the Sooner basketball community. Great move and kinda stokes the fires for the upcoming season.
I was living close by wouldn't miss the game. Hope there is a good turnout.

 

[Chiefdaddy]

I'll be there. This is awesome. Where's my boy Mookie? It is good to see the list of the former Sooner greats. Ricky Grace, Skeeter, Hollis. I love it.
