Oklahoma State having some issues

[Sawyer]

It'll be a shame if Olukemi doesn't get a waiver to play the full season, there's something seriously wrong with the NCAA.

They should be fine with Nash at the 4, though.

I really disagree with that. Especially since the Big 12 (appears) to have a lot of talented, bigger, quick 4s in the league this season. Nash played at the 4 a lot last season and struggled from that position. He was held to single digits in almost 1/3 of his games and had more turnovers then rebounds 5 times. He needs to play the 3.

I'm sorry but I really don't think OSU will finish 3rd in the Big 12 this year like many have predicted. Not enough on the roster and a marginal coach leading the team.

If Nash is all he's supposed to be, he should be able to more than make up for any deficiencies he'd have on defense with the edge he'd have on offense.

A legitimate NBA small forward with his size/athleticism should be able to punish the typical Big 12 power forward offensively. There does appear to be a decent amount of talent at the 4 in the Big 12 this season, but we're not talking about a ton of future NBA players. They're good college players. A guy like Nash should be able to handle that. If Kim English can make that work, Nash certainly should be able to. He has the size, athleticism and talent to do it.

(Ford coaching him to actually do what he's capable of... that's another topic; sometimes I forget who's coaching OSU)

Stevie Clark was there last night, I would be shocked if he's not an OSU Cowboys.

Nash has the ability to play the 4 at the college level. He had trouble adjusting to it as a true freshman. I think it took awhile for the college game to slow down for him. Williams Defense at the 3 is what is really going to be missed.

That's awful. Nice player. I assume he has a redshirt year?

He already used his redshirt. But, he will be eligible to apply for a medical hardship after his "senior" season.

I thought he played as a true FR. Tough loss. They're going to have even more trouble matching up with teams now.

Any word on Olukemi? His status seems to be far from a sure thing.

He's cleared. Kid finally caught a break

Now watch Williams magically only miss a couple of games with his phantom wrist injury. #TravisFordWillDoANYTHINGToWin.

How would an injury to Williams impact Olukemi?
