Jones and nwankwo

[TINY]

Disappointed in hearing the situation with Jones but Nwankwo definitely should not be coming back this year.

Hopefully we can get one or both of them back next year.

He’s providing an excuse for the loss.

Jones said he plans to come back next year even though he is already in grad school. Obviously how this year shakes out will play a huge part in his decision -- hard to imagine many guys would be back if a new staff is in place.

There goes our natty.

Kidding aside, I understand why they wouldn't want to waste a season of eligibility. JN in particular -- hasn't played in 6 months, suffered an injury that is very tricky to come back from, takes a while to regain confidence and trust even after it is physically healed. Why burn up a season for 10-15 games playing for a coach who hopefully won't be here next season? I'd guess they and the high school recruits will never play for OU.

jones more so to me then JN jones has 1 year

I’m assuming Jones could be closer, but doesn’t want to rush it back, and I can’t blame him since the injury is what it is.

and he also only has 1 year left of college basketball .. if he plays at all this year he is done

He still has leg weakness and isn't close to full speed. I'm sure he can do a lot of normal, everyday stuff, but that in no way means he is close to being able to play major college basketball.

Kinda like Chet for Okc. Been practicing for couple weeks but not ready to return.

I don’t think he is even that far along from how he acted on the radio this morning.
