RJ Nembhard to TCU

[geeoh]

Not sure where he was on OU's 2017 pecking order, but he's off the board. Just saw it on Twitter.

We only have 2 scholarships available for the 2017 class ..... without a transfer. Manek is already committed and we're hoping to sign Trae. I thought we needed another true big man but they're going to have to do it with smoke and mirrors.

He's just ok....

Seymore, I know you've seen a lot of these guys play in person. Who is the better prospect: RJ Nembhard or Jay Jay Chandler?

OU is waiting on young.

Just to clarify what I think you are saying, OU has a total of three (3) men's basketball scholarship spots available for the 2017 recruiting class. Manek takes one, which leaves two more.

13 .. total scholarships allowed
12 .. total players currently on scholarship
_2 .. seniors currently on scholarship

13 - (12-2) = 3

Yes, that's right. My post was confusing. With Manek and hopefully Trae, OU has one more scholarship to hand out. I think we have enough guards, and "tweeners" (guys 6'6" to 6'7").

We need another true big man IMHO. Latin and McNeace will be upperclassmen when the 2017 class arrives, and Freeman isn't yet a low post player.

Here's the scholarship chart from you (SoonerTraveler):

Daniel Harper will be a senior walk-on that is entering his 4th season on the team.


If nothing changes, there will be three (3) scholarship spots available in the Recruiting Class of 2017.

correct OU wants to take a big in the next class to go with a PG and Manek
