As I've learned more about Isiah Cousins, I'm beginning to think that OU may be getting a player who could turn out to be one heck of a find in the late signing period. Much of what the article in this morning's Oklahoman contains is a repeat of an article posted earlier. But there are a couple of noteworthy gems deserving of more attention.
Cousins can score:
He has good ball skills, handles, stamina and footwork:
I take notice when a kid's coach mentions him in the same sentence as Ben Gordan:

Cousins received only mid-major offers heading into his senior season. His stock soared after he put together a string of 30-point games at the famed IS8 basketball tournament.
He has good ball skills, handles, stamina and footwork:
“People slowly started to notice,” Konchanalski said. “It's not that he's a freak. But there aren't many 6-foot-4 point guards who can dribble as well as him, shoot as well as him and who are gym rats. He's the complete package.
“Of all the kids there, Isaiah Cousins had the best footwork by far. He just had the best feet and he had really good stamina.”
I take notice when a kid's coach mentions him in the same sentence as Ben Gordan:
“I've never had a senior explode like this,” Mount Vernon coach Bob Cimmino was quoted last week in the Westchester County (N.Y.) Journal News. “He's been recruited as high as any player I've ever had.
“Jabarie (Hinds) was a gradual climb. Ben (Gordon) it was a gradual climb. With Isaiah it was overnight.”
