*********OU-Baylor Game Thread**********

I guess you didn't see the incredible shooting performance today from 3-point range and Mizzou doesn't appear to have any issues running a 4 guard lineup.

Right, but that's Missouri's system. And they have a host of uber-talented guards to run in and out of the game. We will have three talented post players next year, and some young depth at guard. We should be able to play with more sustained effort and close out some of these close games with a bit more shooting and a bit more depth.
 
You were correct on the undersized post player. Do you think he could contribute in a couple of years?
 
I was also thinking of a 3 guard lineup with two forwards. You can pretty much interchange between Fitz, Osby, and M'Baye at the two forward positions.

G: Grooms
G: Pledger
G: Hield, Hornbeak
F: Osby
F: M'Baye

That would be ideal, I just don't think either of those guards will be "starter ready" over Fitz/Cam as true frosh. I think they will help, and help a lot, but I don't think Lon will start them.

And I say that as somebody that LOVES a true 3-guard lineup. To me, our ideal starting 3 is somebody like Pledger/Ere/Parker (Parker being the 2013 recruit from BTW HS in Tulsa). That 6'4-6'5 kid that can score it, that is who I like at the 3 spot.

your guess is as good as mine, but honestly if he can be what Washington is that's really all we should need/expect from him.
