Its summer and we have nothing to talk about. Its business here is some new content, new video, etc about Big 12 basketball.
If you dont want to talk about Ray Penn, come up with an OU topic. Im trying, but August is the slowest sports month EVER!
Wow.
I'm sure the kid is a good player, but its not like he had his elbow above the rim or it was in traffic or anything like that. Basically that is a play that I'd expect 99.9% of the kids in the Rivals 150 to be able to make [Austin Johnson has a highlight tape from HS with about 15 different dunks more impressive than that].
Now if you want to say that it is impressive becuase he is short, well there you go, he is short. Doubt the oSu offense will be counting on him in the paint or running backdoor screens to set him up for lob and dunks. Still lookfing forward to he and TMG going at it for a few years; I heard that they match up very similarly with TMG being a little bit better.
Have a nice day!

Agree with all of this...
It's just fun to see a kid that small go up two handed. Austin Johnson better have more impressive dunks, he was what 7 inches taller?
Penn and TMG might have some battles. There's some good footage of them having a shootout on youtube.
Penn has to win the starting role though, he has not done that as of yet.

I don't expect him to go to the rim off the dribble. I expect him to be behind the arc the majority of the time.

My point was that Johnson is in fact about 7 inches taller and except for a few pretty cool dunks when he was healthy was never considered by most to be "athletic" while at OU, in fact the running joke [I guess] was that he needed to eat sandwiches or something. That is why I put the over/under on in game dunks at about 5-10 per year for this kid.
That is one of the main things that seperate the really good players from the pretty good players IMHO. The really good players can get to the rim and finish in the college game like they did in HS. The pretty good players are guys like Austin Johnson (or Tony Crocker) who become catch and shoot guys in college and never really try to take it strong like they did in HS.

I don't even think it will be that many. I think you'll see some from Anderson and the post players, but you won't see that many for the guards.
Next season you'll see more when guys like Brown and Williams.
Wasn't that Xavier Henry that WW teabagged?

Which is where he can be effective, especially in Ford's system. Personally, I prefer a PG who can/will take it into the lane...
Penn isn't going to be the PG.

I wanted to talk about Coach Capel's public tweets, but the thread has been disappeared. OSU players work for me as a topic, though! Next I hope we can talk about just how awesome Nick Sidorakis is.
