Can you make a shoe smell?

With or without "odor eaters."

Best passer I’ve ever seen in high school Oklahoma.

How soon we forget. Trae Young? A former all star game starter. Ever heard of him??? Lol

Trae showed off his passing skills at OU & now NBA. Saw TY about 10 times & Bijan 15 times in high school. Based on how they passed in high school I stand by my statement.

What is your opinion on his handle please?

It’s good enough for Big12 point guard. Great in-out move, always tight with the ball, solid 1st step but not overly explosive. His big obstacles will be strength, shooting, & defensive consistency. Has the ability to be solid in all, just has to put in the work & get the experience.

One of the top PG at peach jam when they won it at u16

Shot almost 50% on 3’s this year.

His problems will be similar to Phipps' this year. Neither is a good enough athlete to overcome not having a skill that translates as upper level yet either.

I'm not saying neither of them will ever contribute at OU in their careers, but I don't see Cortes having much of an impact year 1, or possibly even year 2.

Bijan is nothing like Phipps. Phipps is a one trick pony. And you saw what happens when he wasn't consistent with his only trick.
Bijan has good ball skills and is athletic. Of course he won't have much of an impact his first 2 years, he's not top 30 talent-wise. But he's the kind of player that SHOULD get better each year. I say "should" because I hope he has a new coach before he ends up like so many other players lately that don't get better.

Think you're going to be wrong on this one

One of the most athletic kids on the roster next year.

You haven’t watch him if this is your narrative.

I was hoping you'd chime in. You of the "Phipps will definitely contribute this year, he's more athletic than he looks, and Harkless redshirts no matter what."

Harkless ended up starting, and Phipps scored 5 points on the season after 12/19.

I've seen him. He nearly played by HS for the state championship this year, so I was following things closely. I've also seen his offer list.

 

[lexusooner]

Bijan is the most underrated HS player I’ve seen in a long time!!
If he didn’t did look like a computer nerd he’d be a 5* ....

 

[Stikboy]

If he didn’t did look like a computer nerd

Thanks for the laugh.

 

[vbdad]

Bijan is athletic.

The plan was for Harkless to redshirt. CNS wouldn’t release him. Things changed when the NCAA gave everyone a waiver.

How is Bijan any different than Reaves?
