So if hardrick isn't back we have two more left to get to 13. Really hope we can add some HS talent to the roster to balance it out, and if not, save one of the ships to give out three next year, which will get some youth in before we have the big class of replacing 5 guys.

How many scholarships do we have to give?

According to the recruiting notebook for today, M'Baye hasn't been offered yet.

Olesini hasn't been offered yet. By all reports M'Baye is coming.

Yeah my fault, ran through article too fast.

Thanks for posting Traveler. So the 2012-13 roster will have five seniors and four juniors, (4 guards, 4 bigs, 1 guard/big) all of whom could/should contribute for playing time. Impressive.

I'm glad I'll be back in God's country by then because me thinks OU could have a big year in 2012-13! This will make talking the Misses into season tickets a lot easier.

Some things that stick out.

- Both PGs are JRs. Need to recruit a quality HS PG next year so he can have a year in the system before Grooms and Blair are gone. Otherwise, we are back to scrambling for another JC PG.

- SR's this year are not going to be terribly missed in 2013. I like CJ, but if LK is doing his job, we shouldn't have trouble replacing him.

- No Freshman incoming? Interested to see if there are any left that LK will burn a schollie on. If he can find better players going the transfer route, I am all for toughing it out next year and reaping the rewards in '13, but you need to start working in some HS kids to build for balance.

- I like the group of Seniors two years from now. Osby, Fits, Pedger, and 2 PGs. Looks like we'll be pretty salty.

Thanks for updating the roster, Travler. I have a feeling you may have to do it a couple more times before the first exhibition game.

 

[SoonerinNC]

When is the last time we had no freshmen coming in? Even in the Capel first year fiasco we had salvaged one or two.

 

[vbdad]

Nick Thompson won't be on the team next year. Very unlikely that Hardrick will either.
I bet they leave at least one scholarship available to be used for any NCAA penalty this summer. They would rather eat it this year than next.

 

[CMSOONER]

Why do you think Nick won't be back? Isn't he working out with the team? If he were going to leave I think it would be clearly obvious by now.

That would be a good thing!
