Brown, Isaacs, Reid, Rooths, Gak is a nice starting 5!

I agree that the starting 5 has potential.
That bench will be a problem though unless mayfield and wadley are the real deal.

I think Hendricks & Forsythe will be a nice bench pieces but generally agree that the bench doesn’t look like a quality sec bench.

Forgot Kai Rogers- everyone kind of thought we can get more out of him and I think we will.

Wadley- Gonna play a bunch imo
Forsythe- Helps wins games. proven player, know what you are getting when healthy.
Hendricks- 3 and d. 45% from 3. Lower level bumping up.
Yaak can play some. avg 6 and 4. had some solid games vs zags and orgeon i think.
3rd center can function.

Mayfield I dont know about.
 
Yeah, I am not super high on Mayfield. He has a lot of upside, but he is a year or two away. In the landscape today, I am sure I will watch him kill it somewhere else in a few
 
I agree, if both freshmen can contribute consistently this season, and maybe overachieve, then this team could be a top tier SEC team, please don't hold me to that though! I like our height and depth at height, but honestly have not seen either of the three new Bigs play, outside of highlights. Is Gak going to be better than Wague? IMO, he has to be. Hope Rogers develops also. I think we know what to expect out of the returnees.

I just don't get this response? Just to say something? I mean IF they fail to make the tournament, Moser is gone is the belief of most which is what a lot of this crowd want. It would be one more year wasted.

If they win 20-22 games, win 7-9+ in the league and eek into the tournament, again, I believe most think Moser would be done. If they win 23+, win 10+ in the conference and are a 7 seed or higher, are any of the "Moser needs to be gone at all cost crowd" going to give the staff their due or chalk it up to luck and hate next off-season under Moser as well?

You need some additional context? Here:

worse OU mens bball coach in at least 50 years. Missed the tourney 80% of the time (if he does it again, 83.3333%). Should I go on?

The attitude of "eh, what's 1 additional wasted year" while porter would be going 1/6 to the tourney in that scenario is wild to me..

Give the staff their due if they go 2/6 making the tournament?

Also, what would top tier mean to this poster or others?? To me, that would mean top 4 or 5, and it seems ridiculous to even think there is a remote chance of that happening even if every single thing goes right for us (no injuries, everyone plays close to their potential all season, we have some luck on our side, etc). Thinking Moser could make the leap from always having to play on the first day of the conference tourney to being a top tier team just seems crazy to me, especially in a year where we didn’t do well (according to all the national rankings) in the portal.
 
when I say top tier I mean top half, so top 8 specifically. I don't mean top 3 by any means.
 
I can't remember who said it, but I saw online (X maybe) yesterday where somebody was talking about how tough the SEC would be next year, rattled off about 8 names, with no mention of OU.

So while some OU fans might be happy with the roster, I don't think its really getting much play nationally yet.

If they improve on what they did the year before and I mean legitimately improve then yes, I would say give them their due/credit. I'm not talking the same barely 20 wins/.500 or under .500 year in the conference and squeaking in the NCAA. But people are talking about wanting to finish as a 7 seed or better in the NCAA and top half (7-8) at worst in the conference and if that is accomplished that would deserve some credit of signs of improvement by the team/staff. If not, and it's the same barely at 20 wins and under .500 in the conference then time to move on for sure IMO.

Obviously, CBS sports is just one prediction but Nebraska was picked to finish 14th last year in the Big 10. No one really had Nebraska as a team to worry about either. Every year there are teams like that coming out of nowhere to "shock" the experts. That's just one example from last year. Hopefully this OU team has a more well-rounded team that fits well together and also shocks some people.

It’s already been time to move on after last year. A 7 seed this year will not get them any credit from me, just buys another year. I’m sorry I’m being so negative, but year 6 shouldn’t be looking for signs of improvement.

if we eek into the tournament next year i don't think it's a foregone conclusion at all that moser is gone.
our new incompetent ad kept him after another pathetic season so i think evidence points in the direction of him keeping moser again next
season if he makes the tournament.....regardless how low the seed is.
