Possible recruit Dorain Pickens

OU was 3-3 against those schools last season. I'm guessing that they will go 3-3 again this coming year. Try again.

They won't go 3-3 this year against them. 6 seniors gone, Hield has some injury issues....our starting point guard will be Woodard and he's a freshman. No identity. We don't know who the man will be, who the leader will be..... So no we will not go 3-3 against them. Get back to reality please.....Kansas has Andrew wiggins so we'll loose twice against them; OSU has Marcus Smart coming back and more talent coming in. Texas is iffy.

They will sweep Texas and beat OSU in Norman no matter how good they are. Just because you don't know things doesn't mean everyone doesn't know things.

You keep talking about OUR players as though you are an OU fan.

Predicting games has nothing to do with knowing things. That's just ignorant on your part. You also didn't answer my question on whose the leader and whose the man like Osby was for us last year.
 
If its not his calling card then why is he going for 5 and 4 star recruits. Myles turner, Julius randle, Dante Buford, Dorian Pickens, Stevie Clark, emmaniel mudiay etc. he's going for big recruits, he just can't get it done. I believe in Kruger and I'm excited. But I'm also not blind and am worried that we'll be left behind in a very competitive big 12 with 3 star recruits. I'm not saying we should never go for 3 star recruits, I'm saying we need to sprinkle in a few high caliber guys to get in Kansas, Texas and sadly OSU's level.

We very easily could gone 5-1 against those 3 teams except for the historic collapse in Austin and some questionable officiating in Stillwater. We aren't at KUs level but UT and OState certainly aren't looking down at us. Please pay attention.
 
If your enthusiasm is dependent upon the signing of 4**** and 5***** recruits, then your enjoyment of Oklahoma basketball will be greatly constipated.


Questions:

1. How highly rated was Spangler as a recruit?
2. Who on the current roster was the most highly rated by the gurus?

1. 3 star not ranked
2. Cam Clark. 4 Star #34 in his class #5 at his position. Buddy and Je'lon were also 4 stars but ranked lower

I'm not the one who is ignorant here. You need a mirror to find that guy. You are the one that doesn't have any answers to the questions popping around in your head.

UT isn't so your right there. They've fallen back a bit. But OState is starting to pull away. Marcus Smart staying really helps them this year and they have a lot of interest from great players in recruiting.

I'm talking the 2013 class and right now. Kruger has the ability to recruit, proven by hield and hornbreak. He's just not doing it better than we all know he can.

:facepalm okay. Don't answer buddy.

When you haven't done anything to learn or know anything about what you are talking about on your own. It certainly isn't my job to teach you anything.

When you don't answer my question. It certainly shows not even you know who the leader and main man will be this season.

Why does there have to be one? Not necessary to have one. We might have 2,3, or 4. Would that be ok with you?
 
I'm convinced this clown is just the latest incarnation of Nike basketball/hairlip.
 
So I'm a clown/troll just because I don't agree with some of you? You're joking right?

I don't think you're a troll. And to those who say Lon doesn't recruit 4/5 star kids is just mistaken. Lon's gone after the higher star kids since he's been at OU, they've just chosen to go elsewhere. But we've swung out on a decent amount.

That's my only concern. He's a GREAT coach. I hope he starts swinging and hitting home runs :krugs
 
How? Please say how?

By writing off this year's team vociferously and often, without even having seen them play.

By focusing on recruiting rankings and seemingly little else.

By posting in one-note fashion, repeating the same negative opinions over and over, with little to no variation.

It would be one thing if you were the type to come back and cop to it if and when the team proves you wrong this season, but I have the distinct impression you're not that type.

No one expects all sunshine and flowers here. It's perfectly fine to express concerns about the team. But to beat the negative drum relentlessly, in post after post, before the team's played a single game? That gets tiresome real fast.

If I tell you your wife is homely, you might not give a hoot what I think or say. But if I tell you she's homely 10 times over two-hour span, you might be tempted to punch me in the nose at some point. Because really, once is enough to have someone tell you your wife is homely, y'know?

Oh, and that incessant bemoaning on your part over the fact that we have no go-to guy this season? We didn't have one at this point last year either. We hoped Osby would be the guy; we had reason to think he might. But we weren't certain of it, not by a long shot. Ro raised his game more than any of us could have expected (we hoped for it, but we couldn't expect it).

So take a freaking deep breath, and let's see how this plays out. There's no telling who might step up.
