Catching up with Two Former Sooners

[AdaSooner]

Thought you might be interested to know what Isaiah Cousins and Je'lon Hornbeak are up to these days. Assuming the G-League rosters are current, Isaiah plays for the Reno Big Horns and Je'lon plays for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

"Mad Ants?" Seriously! :facepalm

Man, making a NBA roster is tough! I was surprised by some of the big time names on G-League rosters right now. Here's a link to all of the players:

Isaiah seems like the kind of player who could work his way into the NBA with sheer willpower. He doesn't have any world-class skills, but he does a lot of little things.



Fun historical fact: Fort Wayne was named after the Revolutionary War General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, who conquered the area for the USA. "Mad Anthony" --> "Mad Ant".

Thanks for clearing that up, MichaelM!

If Fire Ants had made it that far north, the name would have made more sense to me. Anyone who has ever stepped or put their hand in a Fire Ant mound will know exactly what I mean. Talk about “mad ants!”
