Is he OU level? Reminds me of a Eric Coley. Could he be like Godbold?

Oh yeah, and the Spangler kid OU passed on that signed with Gonzaga had 46pts 23rbds adn 6 blocks in a recent game.

I was trying to think of a comparison for Lucas and I think Coley is a great one. He definitely isn't a shooting guard at a high major but he could play a SF at a mid-major school and be a pretty good player, imo.

Sign him.

 

[Seymore Cox]

yeah, I think there is a spot for him on a high major team, like OU. OU's problem is they must hit some homeruns in recruiting. I don't think he's a homerun. Guerrero's a homerun, Eli Carter's a homerun. Jurick is a homerun, and if they get back in the mix with Michael Chandler, he's a homerun. Titus Ruble out of Independence in Kansas may potentially be a homerun.

The Spangler thing makes me absolutely sick. Did we show any interest in him at all?

 

[Seymore Cox]

Yeah, he's a huge OU fan as well.

 

[brettromar]

He shoots the ball better than Eric.

I would say, growing up with Eric, I don't think he is quite the athlete or leaper Eric was.

Does he break in horses too?

 

[cowboysooner]

Has anybody watched the Spangler kid and can you give us your assessment. I don't think I have seen him play. If I have, he didn't leave much of an impression.

Odd that Gonzaga would come all the way to Okie to get a player that nobody here seems to have seen play or know much about.

Like asked above, I would also be interested in knowing whether OU showed any interest.

By the way, how tall is he? If he is a tweener, then that might explain why OU didn't recruit him. We already have a few of those body types. We need centers and points, and not wings.

Not a lot of people are the athlete Eric was, doesn't mean he's not comparable.

Overall, I agree. I think he gets off the ground in a similar way. I don't think he moves laterally as well or is as fast on a straight line.

I wasn't saying he isn't a good comparison. I was just stating that I thought he shot it better but not as athletic.

As you said, not many people are.

I still would like to know if this guy rides horses like Eric. haha

 

[Seymore Cox]

Eric still does several rodeo events around the state.

If you watch Oklahoma HS basketball you know Spangler. He is 6'8, runs the floor really well, can shoot it from 3 really well, athletic and mean on the glass.
We will look back I think in 2 years and ask why we didnt push harder for him... and maybe they did, Im not sure...

Southmoore plays Midwest City (top 5 in the state) at home tonight, should be a good game.
