Roster Next Year

[MJSooner]

I agree with @BoulderSooner on Alec Blair. Most/all projections had Blair rated in the top 75, and we are on pick 106 starting up again here in 30 minutes.

Highly doubtful that he would have already dropped approximately 30 spots with his size/skills for no reason.

Plus, slot money is currently about $725K, and it drops by $6K with every pick. Even if he is still pondering pro baseball, the financial incentives or advantages are diminishing pretty quickly in the NIL and revenue-sharing era.

Looks like he has every intent of being a Sooner.

Well I think we can all be pretty confident now that he is coming to OU.
They are into round 10 and nearly 300 picks

Yes, I think it’s pretty clear that once he didn’t go in the first 70-75 picks, his agents likely told teams not to waste a pick on him unless they were prepared to offer him second round money. Now the question becomes, will he be a factor for us this season? And, how will he ultimately handle the baseball/basketball split?
