Hand twins

[SoonerNorm]

If I'm not mistaken, Rich Hand said a few months ago that his twin daughters are being recruited by OU. Anyone heard anything about them lately?

Funny you mentioned that. I saw in an article that said the twins had committed to OU. It was a couple of weeks ago, and can't remember where. To be quite honest, I didn't hold too much credence to it. I think the writer was just assuming that they would since Whitney spent five years here. However if it came from Papa Rich, then they probably are being recruited. Wouldn't that make them 2016 recruits?

isn't that then two more shooting guard slots taken up??

Only 5'7? I figured they'd be much taller than Whitney was 6'1

They have three years to grow, they may get close to Whitney's size.

Don't forget, two of them. Let's see ... That's 11' 2"

I say sign them up, they could also help with players like Lauren Cox I thought she was on team texas as well.

Yep. Also, I just like the idea of it. They may not reach Whit's ability but few do. From what little I have read they compete pretty hard and have some skills. I am sure they would be easy to cheer for.

The Hand twins are very good now and they're very young. By the time they are juniors and seniors they will be great prospects. They are just like Whitney in that they have a great work ethic and they love to compete. I agree with Mac, wrap them up now. You just can't go wrong with the Hand family.

"Ditto", lets keep the Hand family in Crimson and Cream.

In 2016 we will still have they following if we don't recruit another guard:

Derica Wyatt
Gioya Carter
T'ona Edwards
Maddie Manning
Gabbi Ortiz
LaNesia Edwards
Chelsea Dungee

Possibles:
Alexander Brooke
Danni Williams

While I loved Whitney, I think her sisters should be recruited just like anyone else...based on talent, attitude, grades, etc. Their name should not be a part of the equation. That said, if they are the best available, you bet I would recruit them if we have need for more guards.

I think we'll have a small 2015 class 2 players. I thinking 1 wing/combo forward And one true post.
