We put OU coaches in Demos so occasionally we get dinner or lunch with them and we barrage them with questions lol!
Coach says we look great off the bus and in warm ups because we have big athletic players.
A great combination of shooters, slashers, and shot blockers. We have guys that can run and jump.
He is really high on the Sooners athletes mentioning Kur, Victor, and Williams specifically.
Says Williams can really get up, high riser style, said when he gets his shot more consistent he’s going to be difficult to deal with.
He mentioned Victor’s hustle, shot blocking, and rebounding.
Says Manek has been the best shooter on the team so far and really has gained quality weight. Expects him to have a big year.
Thinks he’ll definitely be a tougher player in the post and more consistent rebounder this year.
Says Rick I may not play much early because he still has to have the game slow down for him but he’s such a good athlete to be so tall and long he’s gonna be an asset to the team. Says he is the type of kid who will play pro over seas.
Harmon, Bienemy, Reaves, Doo, and Manek are the first group but there is enough talent to play small ball or play big ball depending on the match ups or who’s hot. Says this is a deep team. The second team has been fiercely competitive with the first team in practice.
Says Doo can play all the front court positions and is gaining confidence in his mid range jumper and will play along side one of the bigs along with Manek at times for a bigger line up. Says having so many shot blockers it’s really helped Doo be creative offensively.
Is high on Jalen says he’s a “big bodied kid” who can do it all and has a B12 body out of high school and is good enough he can help the team as a Fr and will likely be a multi year starter.
Says Corbin “A real athletic and strong player” who really flashes at times. Really needs consistency but can be a player who can help the team if he keeps working.
Loves Harmon says he is a natural leader and when his outside shot gets consistent defenses will be at his mercy.
Reaves is a knock down shooter who can really get hot and is a better all around player than given credit for.
Says Bienemy has really matured and has improved over last year.
Said people are underestimating the Sooners this year especially if they consistently shoot well, says they won’t lose due to losing the athlete or hustle battle.
That’s all I can remember at the moment ...,
I also heard that OU thinks the Sooners are in a good place with Thompson
and they think it would be funny if osu missed Cunningham since they hired his brother.
