Practice

[fksooner]

I live in Kansas, plan on coming down next week with the family to watch a practice and hang out. Does anyone know where I can find the practice times for next week?

Best idea is to call the basketball offices, (405) 325-4732 or (405) 325-8302.

Just so you'll know, OUHoops members who attend practices are required to post a report on the board after the game. You can do it the next day if you want.

Got home from watching a practice and touring the campus last night. I would definitely recommend going to watch a practice if you get the chance. Everybody in the basketball office was so nice, one guy even walked us to the practice court. Lon come over and introduced himself to us and talked to us for a few minutes.

We arrived about 30 minutes before practice started and Buford and James were already in the gym shooting threes and making most of them. Buddy walk past my wife and kids in the hallway and stopped and said hello. They didn't practice to long about an hour, they were leaving for Manhattan right after. Before practice Lon was in the locker room with the players, the other coaches were working one on one with Freeman and I'm guessing Grandstaff he was wearing #45. Freeman is a lot bigger than I thought he would be. I was expecting a tall skinny kid, but that was not the case. Coach Hill was working on low post moves with him during that time. I think he will be a great player for us.

Practice wise there is not to much to say that is not already known. The starting five is great.The biggest take I got was the older guys took the time to help out the younger guys. At one point the starters were watching from the baseline, after the play was over, Ryan walked over to half court to explain to James what he should have been and James listened. You can really tell how close of a team they are. One other thing I learned was just how big these kids really are, you just have no idea until you see them up close.

After practice the players came over and thanked us for coming, even got a bro hug from McNeace. Sorry this is so long but me and my family had a great experience and I had to share it. It's not often you get to watch the #1 team in the nation up close and personal.

You probably can't get in trouble for too long with most of us.

Thanks, it's not quite being there but it makes it seem a lot closer. Come down any time.

How can you not love these guys? Thanks for your report.

Thanks for the report, fk. Sounds like you found our team and staff in their normal form: as genuine as you could ever hope them to be.

 

[BoulderSooner]

Thanks for the report

Very nice report. As I've stated many times, I loved my one visit to a Sooners practice. I think of it often and wish I were close enough to get back for another one.

I hear you Skyvue. I'm 44 and I think I was more excited about being there than my teenagers were. And they were pretty excited.

I'm in my 50s and was just as excited. I even took pics with a few players, which was probably a little silly of me, but I don't care.

I want as many years as we can get out of Coach Kruger. I love the way he runs the program and the accommodations he makes for the fans.

Nice...I grew up in Wichita but family is from Medford....51, that would b cool. I should have taken a day off and gone to watch. Hopefully I can take time off to watch the b12 shoot around.

 

[fksooner]

That's what we did kc, we live in Topeka and just decide to take a day off and drive down there. Totally worth it
