Summer Practices

[AdaSooner]

I don’t recall anyone saying next year’s team will have a single superstar. . That’s why most of us don’t have a clue who the best player will be. I think it’s possible our best player (Reaves) could be watching from the bench.

The key to the team’s success may be how well our players accept and adapt to their roles on the team. Will they come together, work hard this summer and play good defense as they reportedly committed to do in the team meeting at the end of last season? If they do, I believe the talent is there to have a respectable season. Allow personalities and selfish differences to get in the way, like they did last year, and this could be another disappointing season.

So it sounds like we have a whole team of average role players then.

Manek is the one guy on the team who looks like he can be the leading guy on a good team. He wasn't there yet last season, but he has the talent. Hopefully he takes his game to the next level and can average 16 and 7 or something in that range.

It is not out of the realm of possibility that they could put together a run like K-State did last year. The Mildcats have nice players in Brown, Stokes and Wade but it's not like they are lottery picks. Throw in a couple of athletic guys like Sneed, Diarra and Mawien and you have a pretty solid squad. I don't think OU is that far away from being a team like that, especially if Calixte and Reynolds can contribute from Day 1 and the younger guys get better.

It is possible!!! Just a huge stretch, completely unlikely.

how many times will we hear this during games next year...." best in practice...blah blah blah...too bad he isn't available"

:woot

I've got NO expectations for this team, we shall see.

(save this and remind me later!)
