Calvin Newell is a 5 star talent.

[buttermaker1]

So what you're saying is that he hasn't qualified yet?

Boca said he needed a SAT score, first post.

lol

If Newell enters the 2010 draft, I'm not sure he doesn't get pick ahead of Wall and Turner. For those of you who aren't old enough to have seen a young Isiah Thomas at Indiana (myself included), you're in for a treat.

Smash, if that's true I sure hope he ends up at OU.

 

[Sid]

He is only available due to academic issues.

That's wonderful news. All we need is another potential casualty in the classroom. I apologize for being cynical but burn me once ... If the kid becomes a Sooner, I hope he shows up on campus with a defensive mentality that compliments his offensive game.

 

[bocabull]

Newell has something to prove Sid. From all accounts he has been listening to his coaches the past couple years and has come a long ways.

He could be the opposite of TMG when it comes to taking Capels advice.

So he went to Evelyn Mack Learning Center?...Is this a PG school?

 

[TulsaSooner]

Agreed. I am really excited about Newell, but this is too much. We do these players no favors by over hyping them. I have read nice things about his game and am glad he wants to be a sooner. Further, he addresses a need. Can't we be excited about those things without saying he will be better than an All American? If he is I will be really happy, but I don't need to convince myself he will be to be happy he will be a sooner.

Exactly. People were saying very similar things about Tiny & Tmg this time last year, and that didn't pan out. We don't know anything definitive about Newell until hes on campus.

 

[JBaker]

Ugh...
If he is still having trouble qualifying out of prep school...

 

[seniorsooner]

I can't believe anyone is taking any of this seriously.

The only thing I am taking seriously is the difficulty qualifying aspect...

 

[seniorsooner]

do we have a source that cooberates that other than Bocabull?

 

[HoHum]

The OSU 'recruiting guy' says that Newell is 'a stud' and 'could name his school, if he could spell it'.

Take that for what its worth.

other than Boca? His word is gospel.

Dexter Manley stayed eligible for four years without even being able to read, so Newell can survive college. If he's not coked out like Manley, that's just frosting on the cake.

I saw something on Rivals or Scout about Newell trying to get his SAT scores up.
I also thought I read something else about it in an interview recently. Not positive.

 

[Hollisp]

Man I am confused. Someone fill me in here.

 

[MercedeSooner]

can there be a rule where boca isnt allowed to start threads ? He wastes enough bandwidth in his responses.
