Excellent read here. It's a story about Keiton Page and T.J. Franklin ending their careers in KC.

Lots of good stuff about Franklin though.

Two things: I wish you'd warned us that there was a large picture of Mr. Page. His visage is unsettling. And I think the story overstates his "legend," as it exists (or doesn't) on the national stage.

I understand oswho fans' affection for the young man, but he's not nearly as important a figure on the national stage as that story would have us believe. The star talk was more than a little overdone.

But it appears to have been a student reporter who wrote the story, so a little slack must be cut, I guess.

Very nice story about both players! I'm surprised, but also pleased, that the reporter took the time to interview T. J. Franklin. He is by all accounts an outstanding young man and a great Sooner. I have said numerous times that the contribution walk ons like T. J. and others have made to our program over the years is often overlooked and undervalued. We forget that they work just as hard as the other players, yet they rarely get a chance to be recognized for the time they put in.

I agree that the part about Page is overblown a bit. But there is no denying that for an undersized kid from Pawnee, Oklahoma, he made his mark on OSU basketball. I, for one, never dreamed he would be this good. In fact, I would have accepted a sizeable bet that he would have more shots blocked than makes at the college level. Boy, was I wrong. Keiton Page can play! I wish OU had a player like him this season.
