By a Duke insider. Very strange. What kind of info does he have?? Even after Lon taking Phipps commitment and hiring Pooh?? Thought OSU really wasn’t a serious player here...
 
Don’t worry.

That giant osu lean article came out.
 
I’m not saying it’s a done deal to OU. But if I was betting.
I’d pick OU.
 
I think if OSU gets Cunningham they become the favorite for Thompson, if Cunningham doesn’t work out, Thompson won’t be at OSU.

Cunningham isn’t a lock to Osu. Yes likely but other options.

I think Bryce would like to battle Cade. 2 likely 1 and done top 10 picks.
 
Imagine if Harmon would have tried out and made the U19 US team. Decent chance OSU's current point guard would have been left out, wouldn't have gotten closer to Cunningham. Now, if Cunningham and Thompson do end up playing together...

LOL. U19 has no bearing on Cunningham and osu. It’s been a relationship for 4 years.

Zero.

It’s good to see some of our old OSU friends on the board again. Everyone
except ByronHoustonsSweatyPalms disappeared last season. Wonder why? Byron is consistent, he’s always around, even when OSU loses.

Now, I suppose, there is a reason for hope. That old saying “Hope springs eternal” simply means it is human nature to always find fresh cause for optimism. Welcome back, Poke fans!

That's fair. I've always read the board, rarely post. Good general hoops discussion.

I knew you had been on the board a time or two. I was just jerking your chain a little. :D

How high are your expectations for the team next season, with and without Cunningham? He would be a game hunger. But if he doesn’t pick OSU, will the team be significantly better than last year?

You know this, but Cunningham would have no bearing on the coming 19-20 season (he's senior class of 2020). Obviously, having him in 20-21 would be absolutely huge, potential one and done/potential lottery picks don't come around often for OSU. Pairing him with Likekele in the backcourt would be fun to watch.

Depends on your definition of "significantly better" this season. I think success would be squeaking into the NCAA tourney, retaining players, and building on to something bigger for 20-21 (obviously, having Cunningham would change expectations significantly in 20-21). How the Boone twins develop this year will be telling for the program for the foreseeable future, I feel.
 
My opinion. I don’t think Cade and Thompson go to the same school. If they wanted to form a super team they would be looking at the Dukes and Kentucky’s of the world.

I have absolutely no clue.

McGriff and Waters will continue to be good, of course, likely better. Anei was impressive last year. He was much improved over the previous season. But, my knowledge beyond those three is practically nonexistent. Are the newcomers talented enough to turn your season around, or will OU win both games again?

Naturally my money is on the Sooners. But you never know when it’s Bedlam? The best team on paper doesn’t always win.

Ah, my favorite Poke fan snuck in on me while I was typing.

I agree with you, Byron. It makes no sense to me that two likely one and done recruits would want to go to an Oklahoma school. That only happens at schools like Duke, UNC and Kentucky. Cade and Bryce may surprise me, but I really don’t think so.

Dziagwa still around as a 3 point threat. See if the forward Boone twin can develop enough to effectively spell Anei and McGriff inside. I expect Likekele to take a big step forward at point. Made the (maybe surprisingly) U19 US team, showed out pretty well, first man off the bench, averaged 8, 6, and 3 playing among the best U19 players in the world. I'm looking forward to watching him and Harmon duke it out over the next few years.

I'd bet on a Bedlam split, but no telling.

I’m hoping we have recruited over Waters and Dizzy.

Watson is the best incoming player. I expect Dziagwa to come off the bench.
