Roster changes from last year to this year

[vbdad]

OU has improved every position that guys left and were replaced.

Point guard: Trae is better than Jordan and Strong. Especially after Jordan was hurt late in the year.

Forward: Manek is much better than Dante ever was or going to be.

Center: Polla is no comparison to CJ.

At this time we have two starters from this group.

Any worry if Manek takes Doolittle's spot at the PF position that OU will be weakened on the boards?

Yes, but if Doolittle isn't doing what he's supposed to then he'll hurt OU in other ways.

Oh I agree. If Manek beats him out, then he beats him out and obviously earned it.

 

[vbdad]

Doolittle should be better on the boards but the best guy will play and right now that is Manek.

The upgrade though is Manek is a better player than Dante was last year by a bunch.

Doolittle,James and Odoms are all playing lights out.They have taken this off season serious it shows. We will be a tough out this year.

It's been said Doolittle is in the doghouse, for what reason I do not know.

I hadn't heard about the dog house but I did hear he had an ankle injury and that's why he played limited minutes on the trip. Can anyone fill me in on the doghouse situation?

I think for the most part we are too quick to assume dog house. Kruger doesn't seem the type.

I completely agree, I was just mentioning that it's been rumored on another thread. I have no idea if it's true, I figured his minutes were limited bc of an injury.

 

[Stikboy]

Yeah, like Lon is going to come out and say, "Well, Doolittle isn't starting, because he's in my doghouse." LOL

VBD is one of the most reliable insiders on this board.

Yep, figured since it came from him it's probably true.
