You could easily make the same argument for OU as was made for ISU. Pledger and Fitz, two top 100 guys out of HS who averaged double figures as sophomores and made big strides. Cam Clark, top 50 guy out of HS who averaged double figures as a freshman and nearly led the team in minutes played. A young PG in Blair who had a big impact his first year as a transfer, another impact transfer from a BCS school, etc etc.
I don't think our guys are as bad as some posters make it seem.
