OU Still Needs a Stout PG and a Stout Center!!!

[HeismanWatch]

Who is on the tarmac to fill those slots in 2010?

Without that OU has to OVERACHIEVE BIGTIME to make any impact in the Big12!

Loud noises!!!!!

= FACT!!!!

I just don't see the team being in the top 10 in the conference without those additions.

We need a PG. You could probably come up with maybe half a dozen true centers OU's ever had in history. There just aren't really that many of those guys out there. Even some of the guys you would call centers at OU are more power forwards. We've got enough inside bodies. We need guards now.

I don't think anybody on here is predicting greatness right now so this is kind of like yelling down a well just to hear the echo from your own voice.

^^^That's what I feel about the sunshine pumpers that's for sure.

 

[seniorsooner]

If I never see the phrase "sunshine pumpers" again it will be far, far too soon.

 

[Sooner Quick]

I haven't seen "several" sunshine pumpers. I've seen people excited about our latest recruits.

True centers are rare, you just don't see many teams anymore with a TRUE center. I would have loved to have gotten Aziz but a PG is what we need right now, would love to get Newell.

 

[seniorsooner]

After watching some video of Newell I think he is exactly what this team needs...a point guard that can provide some scoring punch. I think that would take a lot of pressure off of Cade and Pledger.

 

[Sooner Quick]

Newell is a good defender as well and can pressure the opposing PG.

Newell reminds me of a cross between TMG and WW.

Seriously!

Does Stout have a PG and Center that Capel is interested in?

 

[Edmond_Sooner]

All we need is a Point...

I hope Capel doesnt waste a scholarship on a JUCO big man at this point...

I agree. We may need 2 pgs. We might just have to go with Fitz, Washington, Thompson, and Honore as our rotation. Sprinkle in some 4 guard lineups at certain times with Cade or Cam. Jones would be a huge get because of his versatylity. That is probably not going to happen. But that would be a game changer because he could play all five positions.

If you had said Pledgerand TJ or Cam I would agree with .you.If you expect Cade to be a scorer than you havn't been paying attention the last three years.If we can get 8ppg from Cade I'll be tickled crimson.

 

[seniorsooner]

He averaged 9.9 PPG last year. So he's actually going to score LESS this season?

Exactly. You shouldnt be tickled with 8 PPG from Cade. He has improved every year at OU and I expect him to continue.

Ask Pitino. He could care less about having a dominant center. He'll run 6 - 6 to 6 - 8 forwards/big guards at you in waves. We need a point guard worse than a dead man needs a casket. Another good forward would help as well.
