If Thomas gets eligible this team has a chance to be extremely good offensively. If they can buy into defense. Which is what last years team really struggled to do. They will be very good. If one or two of the freshman can play this team will be pretty deep. Be able to adjust to competition. Definitely looking forward to this season.

I'm not too concerned about defense. Last year we had to overadjust because of lack of size inside. Had to pick our poison. Sometimes worked, sometimes didn't.

The other problem we had was extremely cold shooting by key players in games like with North Dakota in the NCAA. With more experience that should also improve.

Anyone think Booker can average 10 a game? If he does, OU really only needs to make up for Clark's lost production. If Thomas gets eligible, I think he will do that. If not, I hope the three freshman can do it by committee.

I think we will see Booker average somewhere in the 8-11 range.

I do. I think his shooting % takes a nice uptick as his volume of shots go up. I also think he's a guy who is going to attack the basket more and get to the line more often.

I agree.
