Go sign Shavon Coleman and Marshall Henderson

[thebigabd]

Shavon Coleman (6'6'' 195- Guard)
-Howard Junior College (Texas)
-Averaging 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists per game as a sophomore.
-Shot 38% from 3.

Marshall Henderson (6'2'' 190)
-South Plains CC (Texas)
-Averaging 19 points and went 100-236 from the 3pt line (42%) for South Plains, who went 29-0 in a tough juco league this season.
-Probably the best pure shooter in juco basketball
-Played his freshman year at Utah (averaging 11 per game), spent a redshirt year at Texas Tech, and is now in Juco. Had some off the court issues, who cares, kid can play. Not like he killed or raped anyone.

Just go sign these guys, and along with M'Baye, will be enough to turn OU around quickly.

Aren't there some Cali JUCO players out there we can waste scholarships on? (pun intended)

Email this to Kruger.

who the hell was he supposed to sign with the limited time he had to recruit after he was hired?

 

[Sawyer]

Any idea what Henderson's off the court issues were?

 

[DenverSooner]

OU has to get someone to help from the 3 point line. I don't care who it is but OU must have another 3 point shooter next year and I mean that in addition to anything M'Baye can do.

Jeez lighten up Francis. It's a joke.

 

[Sawyer]

Plenty of capable players (high school, junior college and D1 transfers) were available after April.

This may be true but most were close to making a decision. Neither Capel nor Kruger had much of a chance to recruit their first years. I don't fault any coach hired in April for the class in the first season. The few guys that pull off good classes deserve credit rather than the others deserving criticism.

Remember, Kruger doesn't pay the player,the parents,the posse, or the AAU coach. Plus, he tries to bring in good character kids that fit with what he wants to do. The pool of players remaining for him doesn't include every hot shot recruit.

 

[Sawyer]

Would've been better to save the scholarship than use it on a guy who can't play (we have the benefit of hindsight at this point, though...).

There were several transfers who didn't decide until late June.

I think Stoops said it best when discussing TCU and WVU replacing Missouri and A&M. Those teams weren't ranked at the end of the year and TCU and WVU were.

It was nice knowing you, now leave.

Who better than the best shooter in juco basketball who remains unsigned?

Marshall Henderson can stroke it, but he's a punk. Punched Jackson Emery (BYU) in a game his freshman year, arrested on a felony drug charge at Tech, documentation of him screaming profanities at opposing fans, etc. Not a chance in hell Kruger adds this clown.

He should go to Kansas.

Uh, no thanks.

Excellent rebuttal.

I am not saying OU should or should not take this kid but I agree with Bigabd that people change.

My first semester at OU I made 1.92 gpa and got arrested twice for drinking. I let OU 8 years later having graduated from law school with pretty strong grades. I was immature and got exactly what I deserved as a freshman but people do change.
