It's one of his most recent follows but I don't know exactly when it happened, I wasn't tracking before today (the follow didn't happen today).

Just talked to a guy I know from over in the Dale area. Apparently Dayton and Brandon do talk so Dayton might be recruiting him to stay close to home in Del City and go to OU.

Garrison is a bigger need, but he will have his pick of schools to choose from. I’m not saying don’t recruit him, but I would be shocked if he chose OU considering his background.

He has a do not contact tag. He's chosen his school. Sounds like OU or Kansas.

 

[NickZepp]

We were a good free throw shooting team. No one on the board has claimed otherwise. We lost one game due to poor FT shooting.

Maybe 2 games. TCU game we miss 10 free throws. Tech game we lost due to free throws too.

Come on man. TCU blew us out for 90 percent of the game. Do you really think making four or five more FTs in the first half of that game was going to change the outcome?

As it should be. Retention, continuity, and development is still the name of the game.

 

[WTSooner]

Speculating, but based on the number of "contacts" from OU early, I'm guessing we're replacing at least two of the guards that don't have to leave (JM, Oweh, Uzan, Cooper*).

*I don't necessarily think Cooper is leaving or at the top of the list, but who really knows.

The difference of the game was 7 points in the end. Make 10 free throws you are ahead. Yeah TCU never really got above what 16 points. OU played fairly well that 2nd half. Just couldn't make free throws to really put pressure on them and it stayed around 10 or so.

That game was like so many others we played. Fell behind big and never truly put any game pressure on the opponent despite cosmetic comebacks. Did the same thing briefly at Texas, against UNC, at TCU. And making 10 more free throws means you’re expecting us to go 26-26. Turnovers and awful first half defense are the stories of the game last week.

I just like seeing Oklahoma listed as having contact. Much different than how long we waited last year

Continuity of the coaching staff is a big reason for that, IMO. It is as an important factor as any in getting this thing going in the right direction. From HS recruiting, to the portal, to player development, it has been an issue that has hurt us in wins and losses.

In the age of NIL and free transfers, roster turnover is happening for everybody. Coaching turnover does not have to be in the same position every year.

Could just be Oweh and Dart.

Gottlieb was on the sports animal today, and he claims that “no contact tag” is because he’s still considering staying at OSU. Said he knows the kid personally and he wants to be a cowboy if the right coach is hired.

You can’t look back at the end of a one sided game that ended up being closer in the end and say we would’ve won if only we made a few more FTs. That’s not how it works. Only a child thinks like that.

The reality is, had we made a few more FTs, TCU would’ve played the game differently and done what they had all day and dominate us when needed. They took control and coasted. We made it closer than it really was but we didn’t win and we wouldn’t have won no matter how many FTs we made.

Right coach meaning Doug lol. Agree Garrison seems too good to be true but all I have left to cling to are dreams at this point.

Doug wishfully thinking.

Every big 12 and sec school has contacted his people.
