NCAA board does not recommend changes to transfer waiver process

[AdaSooner]

The board’s recommendation cast doubt on approval of the one time transfer proposal to be voted on May 20th. If that proposal is not approved, Gibson and Harkless will not be eligible to play next season. Is that correct, or am I missing something?

Crap!!!

 

[WTSooner]

Someone said Gibson may have another claim to gain instant eligibility. Not sure if that is the case or not.

It may not be ideal for OU, but I'm not really sold on this new policy, and I definitely don't think it should be implemented immediately. Push it out a year if passed.

I don't like the policy. If the transfers are not eligible we will really miss JB but I thought we would regardless. That said there are no glaring holes baring injury.

I think it affects two things. One, guard depth would be razor thin. Phipps would be in the top four when talking about depth at the 1/2 spots. Two, it basically ensures that we start Reaves at the 2, and a guy like Hill at the 3. I think that is less ideal than having 2 other guards starting, and Reaves at the 3. That is the better case scenario IMO.

Also, I think Gibson was likely to be a top 3 scorer on the team. Hurts to lose his potential offense. Would REALLY need Harmon and/or Williams to step up in that case.

Well, this sucks.

Although I disagree on the starters....

PG: Harmon
SG: Reaves
SG: Williams
PF: Manek
C: Kuath

That's pretty much a guarantee at this point... Hill will be needed to backup the 3 and 4 positions.

That’s what I think unless Gibson gets eligible, which is expected for some reason.

That's probably a 15 win team unless Harmon, Kuath, and Williams get a lot better. And that is certainly possible they get a lot better.

I don't think Williams is guaranteed anything given how he played last year. I kind of hope he wins the job in this case, but it's a little unsettling to start those three guards and only have Phipps on the bench. It can work, but not ideal.

How many wins would you guess? Knowing what you know about the schedule, the league, etc.

Texas, OSU, Baylor, Kansas, Tech, TCU, and WVU are clearly better in my opinion... Leaving OU, Kansas State, Iowa State at the 7-10 spots.

I don't know much about the schedule. I'd think we would be a few games worse (without Gibson) than we've been recently. I think the Big 12 should be a little better next year.

Reaves is gonna have to go Trae Young with this group.... Gibson is a big piece to all this, I think equates to several more wins. We will have Reaves firing up 15+ shots per game. He took 12 shots per game on a team with Kristian Doolittle.

 

[BCSooners]

Depends on schedule.

Big 12:
With Gibson - 4-6th
Without- 6-7th

Better than ISU, KSU, & TCU regardless.

I’ll take that bet

I can't figure out this prediction. This team will be improved. They are not heading in the Sherri Coale direction. OU was the third seed in the Big 12 this year and return all but two players that saw the court. Everyone on this board trashed Bieniemy when he entered the portal. With the new transfer ruling looking like it will fail, I would not be surprised if Bieniemy reverses course (if he has not burned too many bridges). You have Manek and Reaves back. You also normally see the biggest jump from year 1 to year 2 and that would be Harmon, Hill, Kuath, Williams, Iwuakor. You also have to figure that Issanza and Gurang will contribute. I think Phipps will be a heady basketball player that can stretch the defense with his shooting range.

Of course, everything could work out as you described.... but when you head into a season on nearly all "hopes", it can go either way.

We know Manek and Reaves will contribute, but remember, Reaves can shoot you out of a game as quickly as he can keep you in a game. He's not a consistent threat, and Doolittle won't be around to score 25 when Reaves is off.

The entire other part of your prediction relies on hope.. The team needs Harmon, Hill, Kuath, and Victor to all get better (which they will, but not sure by how much)…. Then you "figure" the redshirts will produce... Then you "think" Phipps will be heady and stretch defenses.

It's an iffy season.... sometimes the unknowns give you reason to be positive. If you return every member from a crap team, it's easy to be like "oh dang, we aren't going to be good again", because you know and recognize the limitations of the players, etc.... but when you have unknowns there is always some hope in it.

I think Hill would start ahead of Williams.

you actually believe this?
