[OUHoops]

OU assistant Lew Hill was a key to landing Cousins:

I understand there is a lot of talent in the 2013 class especially at guard.. but I don't get people complaining about signing this guard because it might upset some kid who might think about committing to OU next year... We needed a guard who could play point now.. it makes no sense to pass on a guy now because we might get one in the next class... jmo...

Really don't have any solid info to back up this visual, but I see him in the mold of the Villanova guards the past 5-6 years based on his versatility. Obviously that has a lot to do with Jay Wright's system though.

Totally agree.

I hope LK signs every Oklahoma kid in the 2013 class who wants to come to OU. But he can't afford to sit on his hands and hope the players he wants will choose the Sooners. Capel went down that road, more than once, and we all know how the decision to wait on those recruits turned out.

With all the guards who have already commited to us ,where does this leave us with the 2013 stud guards like Clark,Woodard,Parker?

We will take Stevie Clark for sure. He is an absolute stud and would play well with Cousins in the same backcourt. Hield would probably move to the 3 and Hornbeak will back up all of them. Plenty of playing time.
It would be great to have Clark and Cousins as they are both point guards who can score. Either one of them could play the one or two.

Playing in NY probably means he is tough, and not afraid to step up to a challenge. Not many good players from NY get the soft label.

Lamar Odom is doing everything he can to shatter that NY rep.

Good point.

We are going to be a guard orientated team in the future. I wouldn't mind looking like Missouri did this year in a couple of years.

Everyone knows Lamar has ALWAYS wanted to be hollyhood.....

I could see him playing some PG next year and then moving over into more of an SG role if we land Clark or another top PG.
