Josh Baker - 6'4'' guard from Hutchinson CC listed Loyola in top 3

[thebigabd]

Has Rutgers, Loyola Chicago, and Houston in his top 3.

Considered to be the best 3pt shooter in juco this year.

Any word on if Moser is also recruiting him to OU?

As a sophomore:
16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists.. 42% from 3

As a freshman:
14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists... 48% from 3 (75-154 from 3)

Good size and can always use another shooter if the spot is available.

i don't think there will be any spots left for him at OU

I'd take him over the Robinson kid, but probably not over Thompson (who I don't think is coming).

The only thing that would change my mind on that is looking at the roster breakdown by year. If we're getting stacked up on any given year, I might be inclined to take one guy over another to spread that out a bit.

 

[NYC-Fool]

Those are solid numbers- but I hope we land a plan A guy instead

 

[JBaker]

Sounds like a cool guy.

 

[AdaSooner]

His three point shooting alone might make him worth a closer look. 75 of 154 (48%) his freshman season, 42% as a sophomore. Those are impressive numbers, fairly consistent too.

Agreed. Guys like this are worth a LOT in today's game of basketball.

If Porter doesn’t want him, I hope Kelvin gets him!

Not sure if Porter wants him or not but if we only have 1 guard spot left and we are going to wait on Bryce he probably should commit elsewhere. It is nice to not have enough roster spots for every one on the radar after how it was looking on Friday.

seriously. was looking like i might be able to suit up for the Sooners with my slow as gravy first step, average handle 35 years ago yet fundamentally sound jump shot....all my eligibility is intact. :ez-roll:

Went to UNLV

Heard Jaxon isn’t being recruited by Ou anymore. But not a regular reliable source.

 

[WTSooner]

Bummer. I thought he'd be a great fit for us, but if not, was hoping he'd end up at Houston.

UNLV is quietly putting together a talented roster.

Do they think we’re getting somebody better? Do we still think the last two are for wings?

Not my best guy but I’m not a Jax fan.

I think they’ll take a guard (BT hopefully)

And another forward.

Just my opinion. Groves x2 plus Rick doesn’t do it for me. I know hill can defend.

 

[Stikboy]

Thanks

I think we'll be fine at the 5 spot. Groves, Chargois, and Issanza can cover that position with J Groves and Hill filling in as necessary in small ball lineups.

I'm more worried about the 4 spot. Hill is a good player and will play his butt off, and J Groves is a solid back-up but I'm not certain we have a chance to be elite with Hill and J Groves as our only players at the 4.

Ethan my bad!!!

That’s why I said forward.

What have you seen from Issanza that makes you believe he can cover anything other than a spot at the far end of the bench?

Depth at the five looks like:

Groves / chargois / hill / j groves / issanza

He’ll be fine as the 5th center. Someone has to hold down that 13t spot on the bench.
