Only one grade to give Moser so far...... A+

[thebigabd]

Looks awesome coaching the players in practice.... done a great job putting the team together.... The roster itself makes sense in terms of composition. Bryce Thompson will be icing on the cake, but this is a good team right now.

Even without Bryce, this is a top 4 team in the league. I haven't said that in a long time.

Positive ABD. I’m pumped.

Spot on analysis, ABD!

I couldn’t be happier with Coach Moser so far! I’ll also add that I’m impressed with the 2022 and 2023 recruits we’re in on. While it’s true that doesn’t mean much unless we get their signatures, I’m confident Coach Mo will get his share, and then some!

 

[mict085]

I agree. I’m excited about the future with Moser.

I didn’t realize the team could keep practicing after the season. What are the rules on practices from now until start of next season?

 

[MercedeSooner]

I think we all felt comfortable with his ability to coach and teach, the main question was could he recruit at a high enough level to his system to compete in the Big 12. What he’s done in filling out this roster, presumably doing it clean, has been nothing short of fantastic. This staff really seems to have a plan with the guys they are chasing also.

Scared to get too excited about BT but if Moser can close the deal on him I think next years team is the most talented since Buddy was cutting down nets in Anaheim.

I want to say it’s like 20 hours a month.

But if you can get your strength and conditioning coach is to do some ballhandling and hand Eye coordination stuff you get more time on the court because it’s not the actual coaches

 

[sanguinetti]

i like the hire a lot.....so far.

the actual metric is yet to be in play: winning games for the cagers at the University of Oklahoma.

[smile].

edit: A+ for me would be keeping Harmon. i like getting the Duke kid but Harmon's team with him playing actually made the NCAA tournament when Duke didn't. this last year, for the first time since the 90's i think.

I am very pleased so far, but I would not bet the rent on a top 4 finish with our current roster. I don't think we have enough scoring. But obviously the season is a long way off, and that could definitely change with the filling of our remaining scholarships.

I also think portal recruiting and high school recruiting are two pretty different things -- Coach Moser has done well with the former and I'll be interested to see how how he does with the latter. I'm hopeful, but he's still got to prove himself in that regard.

You haven't said that in a long time because it's been a long time. Backdoor third with a .500 record notwithstanding.

I'm interested to see the product on the floor. It's nice to have a little "juice" back in the program. I sure hope it translates to wins. I'd love to get back to winning 11-12 games in the conference again.

 

[NickZepp]

We gotta wait for the product on the court first. But it's all positive so far. We cut out all the fat from last years team and seem to replacing them with better impact players. Still need some guards that can score more. No way I could put OU in the top 4 in the conference next year with very little guard experience coming back.

How exactly was it backdoor? When you play a double round robin, it’s more or less impossible to back into anything.

Because everybody finished third that year.

 

[skyvue]

Because everybody finished third that year.

Except in those years when we finished in a tie but with a lower seed, anyone who dared mention that we'd tied for a higher spot was shouted down. In those seasons, the Big 12 tourney seed WAS where we finished, period, according to a certain faction of posters. That changed on a dime when we earned the third seed.

Lets not ruin the thread with more stuff from the past.

Then maybe you shouldn’t have expressly mentioned the past in the OP. Just a thought. You could have just complimented Moser without taking a dig at recent years.

You two are a special pair.

It's been really foggy around here. I wish the the headlights on my car were as strong as their bat signal. LOL

You have to hand it to them though, it's an unmatched fervor!

Tell us where we're wrong.
