Ryan Spangler

We are really dumb for not offering this kid..in our own backyard. He obviously would have made a difference this year. But that Casey Arent kid is amazing I tell ya..

How was Kruger suppose to offer Spangler when he wasn't coach here when Spangler signed

 

[hoopsaustin]

Wanna know what's worse? Not offering Tyrus McGhee, the kid from Stringtown, who happened to be C. J. Washington's former teammate.

Ya think we could have used a guard who can score on the drive and shoot threes? :facepalm

I don't see how not offerring Spangler who averaged 2.6 ppg and 2.2 rpg is such a tragic loss in recruiting.He also shot 45.5 % from the FT line.If Capel had offered this kid everyone on here would have ripped him.

I agree. People say things like Tyler Neal should be recruited over and he posted better numbers than that.

Spangler is better than Neal. He is a true freshman.

 

[DenverSooner]

As best I can tell with OU fans everyone is better than the OU players unless they are so freaking good you cannot even debate the point (Blake Griffin, Wayman Tisdale, etc.). I don't follow any other schools but in my opinion OU fans tend to have a pretty negative opinion of their program and conference.

Gonzaga is 26-6 and going to the second round of the NCAA Tourney, after a 23 point victory over West Virginia. Ryan had 4 points on 2 of 3 shooting, and 8 rebounds in 21 minutes of play. He is behind a 2 year letterman, 6'7" Elias Harris and a 3 year letterman, 7'0" Robert Sacre. Spangler was a Parade All-American. He will play a lot next year-his stats will reflect that increased play...

 

[Mr.B!!!]

...I hope he does. Pretty sure about 99.9% of the posters on this board were wanting OU to get more involved with the kid than we were during the recruiting process.

He is "behind" more than 2-3 guys if he was only averaging 6 minutes per game.

Spangler has had a few monster games this season as a freshman.

In a one-on-one game straight up between Tyler Neal and Spangler, my money is on Tyler.

I love it when they stop games in the middle so everyone can watch two guys play one-on-one...

You do realize that Tyler Neal was better than him as a true freshman as well?



Tyler Neal is a fine player. We will be happy to have him by the time he's a senior.

there's a reason why your name is silli

 

[Seymore Cox]

The debate isn't Tyler, it's Arent. That's the weaklink.

So what if Spangler wanted to transfer to OU ? Sit out next yr and play in 13/14. If that happened the whole board would be happy, I sure would.

I wouldn't HATE the idea, but I certainly wouldn't be "happy" about it. Is he really any better than Cole is projected to be?
