No slam to this season intended

but every single game I get more and more excited about the next 2 seasons. The league is gonna be tough, but this is a good time to be a Sooner fan.

I agree. Gotta wear shades!

Amen! I try not to look ahead. But the excitement gets the best of me sometimes and I can't help it.

The only player we'll lose off of next year's team is Bennett. We'll be good next season. But two years from now, I can see us making a deep run in the NCAA tourney.

If no one pulls an Amath and they stay away from injuries 2016 should be a contender.

We need more than just normal expected improvement to be an elite team. We need someone real good inside to help Spangler, more of a rim protector. Fingers crossed these new guys surprise but let's not assume.

I think we win the big 12 in eithier 15 or 16 or both years. Deep NCAA runs this year and the next 2years

We need a decent post scorer(s) to solidify our chance as true contenders the next few years. We live and die by the 3 right now. If Buddy doesn't can those 2 late in the game, this forum is burning down tonight. If we can add a guy or two that can work the lane offensively, not just hustle and rebound points that Spangler gets, we will be very dangerous. I am optimistic for our tourney chances this season, but it really depends on our draw IMO.

Are there any more Ro Osbys out there? Transfers have been treating us well lately (Ro, Spangler).

I could see us like this years florida. All 4 year guys basically playing in the lineup, no stars, but a lot of really good players with a great PG leader (JR year Woodard). I really think that's the OU team that cracks the top 10, 2015-16

It would be nice to add a stud post player that is a graduating college senior with eligibility left, that could transfer to OU and play right away.
