Should ahev been a 5 year player.
My apologies to DM then. I still get tired of the constant ripping on his game though. Again, if you want to blame someone, blame this coaching staff for not having another big ready to contribute this year. That is what is killing this team.
BigTime, I agree.. Tiny is playing out of positon, he is a PF, not a center. I was talking to a few NBA scout after this last game.. They love Tiny. They know what he can do and they know he is playing out of position. He will be a PF in the league and no it want be over 2 years as some has said.... It is very frustrating for Tiny, you can tell in his game. They said not a single play is set up to go inside.. So with all of this bash Tiny crap, the kid is a kid who is adjusting to his new body.. he know what he can do and it frustrates him. You can tell in his body language.. I am a true Tiny fan, and "I am not Tiny", I followed the kid since high school.. Tiny get more adcolades from Fans outside of OU. These Fans Love Tiny. Even Kentucy some fans have love for the Kid. Tiny,your fans got your back.. You hang in there
P.S. People need to stop making blanket statements without know the facts.. No one but Tiny and the coaches know why Tiny didn't start the game.. It couldn't have been too bad.. He started the 2nd half....
I agree that Tiny should be a 4 not a 5. At this point, he doesn't look like an NBA player to me, although very few look like NBA players as freshmen. Unfortunately, if he doesn't get a true 5 to play along side, he may never show himself to be a draft worthy player.
What do the 5 and 4 do differently in standard college lineups? The positions are practically interchangeable. What did he play last year?
He played the 4 and 5 (and team basketbal,l something he has not been able to play this year ) They played team basketball at Oakhill and they were 40 and 1 playing a national schedule now they are (12 & 8)

I don't understand how you guys see him at the 4 in the Big 12 conference. Who would he guard? How would he have the endurance to play the 4 in Capel's offense which requires the 4 to play out on the perimeter during some of the time?
Tiny may be a power forward in the league, but there is no way that he is in good enough shape or is quick enough to play that spot right now at OU.
I guess he probably couldn't get up and down the court to guard a 4, but won't that already a problem against more athletic centers? He looks lost defensively underneath anyway. On the other side, I think he would be a much better offensively if he was facing the basket from 10 to 12 feet out.
