Post Game quotes >>> soonersports

He needs to show some progress this year. I know we're all sitting around saying "wait til next year", but we don't need to fire out a 10-20 record this year.

The only progress we can show this tear is guys like Newell/Clark finding their way a bit.

Nothing is going to turn Cade Davis into Hollis Price, Carl Blair into Mookie Blaylock or Nic Thompson into Choo Kennedy. They are not all of a sudden become Big XII good.
 
I never said that. Heck I would be pleased if we just won 3 or 4 big 12 games. But if we rip off a 1-15 or even 0-16, I'm not sure how we can reasonably expect to be back in the tourney next year just by adding 2 players.
 
Adding 2 players that will not be freshman that haven't averaged more than 10 a game at their levels.
 
We need to add a big time guard that can score. Outside of Cade we don't have any guards that can score. Clark hasn't shown he can score with any consistency.
 
In limited minutes he's shown he can be a good scorer. I wouldn't mind seeing him play the 2 at times.
 
I've been an OU basketball fan longer than you've been alive. I was attending games before your parents were married. I can remember when the OU team played on a tartan surface under the wood court in the LNC. I remember watching former Big 8 greats Ed Nealy, Rolando Blackmon, Darnell Valentine, Steve Stipanovich, and Jon Sundvold come to Norman before packed raucous crowds and losing to the home sooners. I was there when Bliss left and Tubbs was hired and everybody thought the basketball program was going back to the cellar. Then I was there when Tubbs left and Sampson was hired and everybody again felt the program was headed to the doldrums. I've seen the program reach heights never before seen in OU mens basketball history. I can remember when Nebraska, ISU, KSU, Mizzou, and OSU all led the overall basketball series with OU but now OU leads every series.

Wow! Well, I grew up in the days before the Great Depression. I used to walk five miles barefoot to get to school! In the snow! Uphill! Both ways!
