Griffin to return to OU for jersey honoring

[AdaSooner]

I was pleased to learn that a special ceremony to honor Blake Griffin is scheduled for the March 1 Baylor game.

That's also Senior Night. Gonna be awesome.

Hopefully we can get some recruits in the house that night as well.

Just what I was thinking.

That release answers a long discussed question on the board. They will be honoring CJ Cole with the rest of the seniors that night and thus he won't be on the team next year.

its a week night game though, so i doubt many recruits will be able to be there. Would be great if we could get Bolden in for it

I'm glad they are able to get this done. I'd love to see Minor, Hollis, Najera, and, eventually, Buddy get the same treatment. I think Gerald Tucker and Don Sidle might also deserve this type of recognition.

yep

This will bring back a lot of nightmares for Baylor fans. Wasn't it against Baylor that he played soon after he had his knee scoped?

Reading the press release, I forgot just how dominate he was. Went to the NCAA regional here. The one where he got flipped over backyards.

He represents well.

Yeah if I remember it correctly it was in Waco..and he came in out of a tv timeout and the crowd wasn't expecting it

Yeah, those guys deserve recognition too.

It is interesting that six seniors are on the team. I wonder who doesn't get to start? The seniors are Hield, Cousins, Spangler, Walker, Cole and Mankin.

It will also be a sad night, at least for me. I don't look forward to facing the fact that Buddy, Isaiah and Ryan will not be around next year. Dinijyl, too, for that matter.

Very sad. Such a connection to those guys.

I don't think Lon has necessarily started the seniors on Senior Night. For instance, per the box scores in the media guides, Fraschilla didn't even play in last year's game, and Fitzgerald didn't start in 2013.

I believe Lon has never started all Seniors on Senior day at OU

ESPN is now listing the top 100 NBA players of all time. Blake Griffin comes in at #75 (for now). As for recruiting, he'll be the gift that keeps on giving.
