Buddy.......class act all the way!

I hope all of his younger teammates learned from him. He is a great example to follow.

Thank you, Buddy!

Forget basketball. Buddy may be my favorite OU athlete ever

Yep.

He's up there, all right. Joe Washington and Wayman are probably my favorites, but Buddy makes it a tight race.

Years ago, after the Game of the Century, I read a quote from Jack Mildren. He said, "I would rather lose with these guys (his teammates) than win with any other team."

I would rather us lose a game with players like Buddy in Crimson and Cream than win with anyone else.

As great of athletes as we have had around here, Buddy is my favorite Sooner of all time!

One of Buddy's best qualities is his drive and his ability to see a goal thru to completion. Coolm mentioned this the other day but I had never thought about it. Buddy is an academic all-conference and maybe even academic all-american. How many Naismith or Wooden award winners has college basketball had that maintained good grades their last year of basketball? Most athletes mail it in during their last semester knowing they are headed to professional sports. Not Buddy though. A lot of OU athletes could learn from him.

+1 to all comments! Buddy is a GREAT Sooner!

 

[slappy in OP]

In addition to Buddy being stellar while at OU, I expect him to continue to represent us in an excellent way at the next level. This team was special and it was led by a special player. Thank you Buddy. :OU-logo:

I'm sure Buddy is back in the gym today practicing. He is just going to get better and better.

If I owned an NBA team this would influence me a lot. I don't know if Buddy will be an NBA All-Star but I do know he will never stop working toward that goal. I would draft him awfully high.

Fans are so much closer to players due to social media but it's hard to find an athlete that has represented OU better than Buddy.

He's at or near the top on anyone's list.

It's been a fast four years, though my friends that follow other teams say he's been here forever, lol. At least as long as Perry Ellis, lol.
