MBB Transfer Portal Thread: Moser Year 4

WTSooner said:
As I've said many times, that has to be the key. We're getting talent on campus. I really don't see how anybody can deny that. HS recruiting rankings. Portal recruiting rankings. The fact that some of the kids that are transferring out of OU are going places like North Carolina, Virginia, and Houston.

We easily have the talent on paper to accomplish what I would be happy accomplishing. But we don't have a coach that can get those expected results out of those players.

The program needs lots of things, a new arena, more NIL, etc. But I agree that it starts with a new coach. Moser is out of his depth here.

Could we stop with the RIP nonsense? Baylor, to name just one example, went 38 years without an NCAA tourney appearance and then, having been once in 1988, they experienced another 20-year drought. Put another way: When they made the tourney in 2008, they'd been just once in the previous 58 years. Now they're one of the better programs in the country.

This is a great point. Let’s look at the two programs.

OU: complete apathy and very little investment into the program. Some of the lowest NIL in the country and little admin support. Donors that simply don’t care about basketball.

Baylor: lots of money and willing to invest in the program. The reason Baylor went from loser to winner is simple. They appointed strong leadership across the AD with a vision of winning and investment. The donors invest the money and they get the coaches and the players they want.

Can OU become a great basketball program? Yes.
Could OU win a national title in basketball? Yes.
Will any of this happen? NO. HELL NO.

WHY? Investment in the program. OU is simply not invested in basketball. It’s been that way for a long time but with the changing environment and NIL plus free transfers, it has killed programs like OU. We can no longer get by with the neglect from the donors and admin. Either they step up or this program is dead. It’s that simple.

Per OSU board late last night:

LOGAN - "It sounds like BG is staying"
Thing2 - "This is confirmed, you were right Logan. Number is heavy too"

Thing 1 - "Don’t think Garrison is coming back"
LOGAN - "I've been told from someone with direct knowledge of the OU talks, and thats where he'd play"
Thing 1 - "I don't know if BG goes to OU, but I still don't think he comes back"
LOGAN - "Well it was OU or us"
Thing 1 - "Not sure on that, I think Texas is still an option"
LOGAN - "Again I have direct knowledge of what's going on from someone who has direct knowledge of what's going on"
Thing 2 - "It's us or ou, if ou is at 600, coach went to see bg last night got offer up to 400 i believe"
LOGAN - "It's always been us or OU"
Thing 2 - "Texas was a school I heard too"
LOGAN - "He wasn't going to Texas"
Thing 2 - "Logan I hope we get him"
LOGAN - "Just wait"

Sounds like Logan thinks he is in the know, but I feel like he is more of an extremely low budget, indie, white trash StoopsBros.



Also, don't make me go back there, I feel dumber for it.

“I have direct knowledge of what’s going on from someone who has direct knowledge of what’s going on,” might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Nah the joke is they’re right. We have a joke of a coach. And anyone who can’t see that is just as big of a joke like you.

Trilly tidbit (When Xavier fans asked about Garrison chances):

"I think the biggest thing with Garrison is his kid.

(Garrison has a kid?)

"Yes. Currently in OKC.

Hopefully OU is extending resources for the kid as an offer (daycare, power wheels, relocate mom, etc)

I honestly don't get the Kobe Elvis love from the OU coaches. According to Lusk they like the way he shoots it. His shooting stats do not look impressive to me.

Can you do me a favor and do your stats comparison for these guys? Tre Donaldson, Devon Barnes, Kobe Elvis, and two guys I think would be good bench PG scorers in Jason Edwards from North Texas and Issac McBride from Oral Robers.

37% from 3 on good volume. Those are good numbers if he's guarded like a shooter. If he's shooting 4 a game, I doubt these are open shots. Looking at the numbers, he doesn't seem like a starter for us, but could be a key bench player if he's a solid defender.
 
OT

This is a little funny.

My current view of the football portal thread.

I forgot that I had to switch credit cards (wife lost the one on file, changed card numbers).

I'm not "poor" but when the heck did ON3 become $12 a month? I don't want to pay $12 to post there. I don't read anything anymore. I don't pod.

What a dilemma. I guess I can create a dollar burner. Or maybe it's just sign that it's time to leave Scoop.

Anyway...


Kobe Elvis. Just OMG. No. College of Charleston fans are going to be so pissed....and so will I.

McBride is easily the best of the bunch.

I gave up football message boards...too much of a time suck.
If I were to pick it up again, I'd probably go over to the sooners360 gang (if it is still around).
With the scoop content being on podcast and youtube, there isn't much of a point to pay anymore unless you just like the banter
 
Looking like Jordan Pope to Texas...Trilly is close to calling it
