I was thinking about next year when Tubbs said that. If this team is good this year, they might be crazy good next year. Especially if buddy returns. They will add four players.
Next year could be a really good season indeed. If nobody leaves early, we might only be losing Bennett, and gaining Thomas, Buford, Manyang, James, and Odomes.
Woodard/Walker
Cousins/Booker
Hield/Buford
Spangler/Lattin
Thomas/Manyang/McNeace
And Odomes and James would have to fit in there somewhere. Crazy deep. Gotta think LK expects somebody else to leave, but you never know.
The whole roster construction process since May seems to be based on Thomas being eligible.
Makes me wonder if Thomas is going pro after this season no matter what. If Coach knows this, that may be why we are over signing.
Four players? My memory is awful. I can think of Akolda Manyang, Christian James, and Rashard Odomes. Who am I forgetting?
If you add in Dante Buford and TaShawn Thomas, we could have a lot of new faces.
Makes me wonder if Thomas is going pro after this season no matter what. If Coach knows this, that may be why we are over signing.
I don't know the answer to this but is he an NBA player? There are lots of very good post players his size that never make it in the NBA. I hope he makes it to the NBA because I want people to realize their but I hope that doesn't happen until after he plays a season at OU
Manyang signs at 10:30 along with teammate dime to Washington
