He's meeting with Capel and Stoops to discuss walking on to the progams at OU. I would love to have the leading scorer at McGuiness the past two years at OU.
Sounds like the first Stoops vs. Capel battle.![]()
I think he's a better QB prospect than basketball.
OU has 6'5 Landry Jones, 6'5 Drew Allen, and 6'6 Blake Bell, all bigtime prospects at QB. He may be a better QB prospect, but he'll see more mop up time on the Bball court. I like it when a guy comes on and redshirts to a program and the coaches Identify him as a guy who can contribute at other schools and recommends those guys to play elsewhere. Eddie Sutton did it with a kid from Pawnee named Pat Moore.
It's possible, but I know the football coaches were considering giving him a scholarship before his senior season last summer. He could always play both.
Ryan is a good player but he is not a big12 basketball player. He is not a sharpshooter, he just shoots the ball a lot. He would score against good teams when they got down. We played them twice this year and he was a non factor in both until the game was out of hand. He is a good athlete, but all we did was back up and make him go left.
Stoops should have offered him in my opinion. He looks pretty good to me. Very mobile, very heady. He would thrive at OU in my opinion. He's 6-4 so, to me, he sees the field very well. Would love to see a scrambling QB at OU, it's been a while. I guess since he was not from Texas, Stoops didn't offer.
Not to be overlooked in the pros and cons of signing this kid, he's a great student (somewhere around 4.0 I believe) and he wants to be a Sooner. Walk ons who can boost the team GPA and contribute in practice as well as have a chance to compete for minutes on the court are an asset to any program.
Cardiovascular surgeons make a buck or two and Ryan's father is known as one of the best in the country.
I am glad to hear this kid is considering OU as a walk-on but I am wondering how anyone possibly knows who the best doctor is? It seems to me to be an awfully subjective standard, even substantially more so than the BCS championship.
