Arkansas is horrible! I think Wilson has made mistake going there.

I'm not convinced that Wilson had as many choices as some would have us think.

Maybe she wants to help a program get back to the top? It'll be a long climb in the SEC tho...

 

[tycat947]

Whorns looked pretty bad in 2nd quarter too!

If Dykes recruits a couple more players as good as Wilson, they can turn things around pretty quickly.

We should defiantly win 1 of the games vs Texas...

For sure.

Texas can play better than they are playing today.

Yes this is exactly what she wants to do. Pay Syb no mind.
He has never been a great fan of Wilson. Don't know what he has against her but it's getting pretty old.
Notre Dame for crying out loud offered her a scholarship! If that doesn't speak volumes about a player then I don't know what else does.

If she doesn't get injured I believe she will have a great career at Arkansas. The girl is good!

If you weren't so intent on being contrary, you would have noticed that I wasn't the first to question Wilson's capabilities to be effective at the next level. Another poster had the same impression for essentially the same reasons. But, then, we just evaluate based on what we observe, not what we are told or have read.

If they aren't going to OU or OU isn't recruiting the kid it means they aren't good to you.

 

[Mac]

I'd hate o agree with Sybrite here but, yeah for me the jury is still out on Wilsons game...

 

[sybarite]

If they aren't going to OU or OU isn't recruiting the kid it means they aren't good to you.

And, if OU recruits a kid, you seem to find flaws. Wouldn't you rather be on a Baylor or UT board?

 

[SOONERGRAD]

I find this quite comical. Some obviously have no idea what good basketball is. So let me guess. Neither one of you too were impressed with Walker tonight as well? Meanwhile she had a field day against us.

You praise Nancy Mulkey but criticize Wilson? I'm done with this discussion.
I bet if Wilson were coming to OU some people's feelings on "she's not that good" would suddenly change. I just find this whole thing amusing...

Already had that conversation with you but you politely ran and had nothing to say. Accept that there are kids out there that OU may be wrong about.

Wilson would had helped out today with A&M, OU needs a playmaker and learn there is a shot in between the 3 point line and a layup. To me the kids repeat themselves out there, you must recruit a different type of kid to go next to the shooters

And, I think you are wrong and biased. You have rejected every kid that OU has recruited as having some fault. You have post after post rejecting Mulkey.

After you have been inducted into the Hall of Fame, I might consider your opinion as meaningful as that of Sherri Coale. I don't know her opinion on Wilson. I do know that she has been to three Final Fours. How many have you had?

I have not gone on to UT or Baylor boards to tell them what I think of their recruits. Frankly, I don't care. If they don't come here, that's their problem. I do see what I see with each one. The only can't miss prospect that I've seen is Cox, and she probably isn't what they expect. I think she will be good. I don't see a Stewart. But, I'm not going to their board to reject her or to Arkansas' board to give an opinion of Wilson. I wonder why you delight in coming to this board to give us negatives on Nancy or Dungee.

I am disgusted by an OU fan who would accept your opinions on OU recruits as being valid while ignoring a successful and Hall of Fame coach.

Wildest possible assumption about Wilson helping today. Who knows?

But you are right about the foolishness of praying that weak 3 point shooters "will hit 80% of them tonight so we can win".

Plus we lack height. I'm not sure if it was obvious on TV, but anyone who was actually at the game could clearly see that A&M had players who are several inches taller than our posts. Probably not as gifted as KK, but taller.

The stupidest thing said tonight was when Blair - after the game - said tonight was "good for women's basketball". I guarantee you it wasn't good for WBB in this state.

Syb, I really suggest you venture out and attend some HS games other than OU commits or recruits. You will see why Wilson was a can't miss recruit. You cannot determine how good someone is by watching them once over a year ago. I'm not saying Wilson is just hands down awesome but in my opinion she is still the best player in the state right now. Look at all features of her game. You are just pointing out the negative.

Just because she signed with Arkansas does not mean she is not that good or had "less looks" in your words. She wants to help their way back into the top of the SEC standings and it is less than 2 hours from her home where family can come see her play. She's a playmaker/program changer.

Sherri recruited Wilson very early on in her career but I do not know why she eliminated OU from her list. I do know that OU struggles against Agressive/athletic teams. Which is another reason why I don't understand why we were not consistent with Walker.

Once again, it wasn't one game. I had seen a little of Wilson. But, I saw the complete two games of the state semi-finals and finals as well as what effect the other team's varied talents had upon Wilson. I made the comment that Wilson was the hardest working player on court. But, it also called into question her ability to score if she is not able to get to the offensive boards or to the rim. In one game, over half of her points were off of putbacks. In another game, the presence of an interior player who could rebound better than Wilson limited Wilson dramatically. It did not say that Wilson can't make it. It called into question what she will be able to do when there are competent players as big as her around, or even bigger. It took what looked to be a certainty and made it very questionable. Let her show what she can do.
