Are we even considering Anthony Livingston - 16 and 10 lefty post from Arkansas State and graduating Junior?
Very few teams have big bad bangers down low.
I mean a banger like Ryan Spangler -- not a huge guy, by any means, but not a finesse player. A tough rebounder and defender.
I couldn't agree more. Size (height) is not a problem. We've got that covered and then some. What we don't have is a big body, blue collar guy with a big butt who can mix it up down low and give us the rebounding and toughness that will be sorely missing with Spangler no longer around. If he can score that would be a bonus.
I'm hoping Buford will develop into the type of player who can bring some of those attributes to the table by next season. Some seem to think Doolittle might have that potential as well. I'm just not sure we can count on them at this point?
Like you, I would rather use that last ship on a graduate transfer with the bulk and size to fill a void that could cost us dearly if no one we know about now is able to fill that need.
Doolittle has a chance to surprise.
I hope so. Hard to trust a true freshman to do that though...
True frosh built like a junior
With Grandstaff/Manyang probably gone, does OU try to bring in a SR transfer post player for depth?

He must've really grown since the last time I saw him. I can't wait to see him develop. Really good fundamentally, but just from the couple of times I've watched him, I can't imagine him having much of an impact this year.
Doolittle has a chance to surprise. He is very athletic and his game progressed a bunch last year.
Correct. Doolittle will contribute immediately. LK is confident he is a hidden gem.
he is a 4 star recruit and a top 70 player in the country ... hardly a "hidden gem"
