Tiny

As a somehwhat neutral third-party here, could I put this theory out:

Gallon was working out with the team until he suffered this mild ankle sprain somewhat recently. So the posters who said he was working out with the team AND Capel are both right.

He was working out with the team, but he's not now.

Pretty unlikely. I suspect his injury isn't really that bad but it gives Capel an easy and non-controversial way to explain away him not working out with the team.
 
I will call out anyone who has false information. I said months ago Tiny won't be back and got slammed by you mods.

So if he is back we get to slam you, right? I mean, he did come out and say in a press release that he was coming back not even a month ago [do you know what he is thinking more than he does?].

Go for it and if I'm wrong I will admit it.

Where were you when Gallon said he was coming back?

Here is the deal, two months ago he didn't know whether he was coming back, obviously he still doesn't...you saying that you "called it" was merely a guess, and doesn't entitle you to rip anybody. That's like me guessing that a coin will be "heads" and calling someone stupid if they guessed tails.
 
No, it was b/c he was suspended for no reason given. That means he did something to question his eligibility. He took money, with what we went through in recent history to our athletic programs we cannot afford any bad apples.

Like I said, you were guessing.
 
Or maybe he can't practice, because of his ankle, but he can do conditioning. I pretty sure that SQ claimed he was conditioning.

Thank you bok! Working out(Conditioning) with the team and practicing with the team are two different things and maybe that was my fault for not explaining that further. I also think I pointed out he had a bum ankle and was getting treatment on that as well and also starting his new conditioning regime. As OUHoops pointed out Tiny even tweeted he had been working out. It would be just as easy for me to keep this stuff to myself and not report it to all the members on the board but I do. I am out of state at this time so I'm not on the board this week as often as I would be so I apologize for not responding sooner and I thank everyone for the kind words.
 
SQ, dont listen to the haters. Any info you can provide is always appreciated.
 
Please, give us all you've got.

sooner_15, put Sooner Quick on your ignore list and you won't have to bother with all of his information, mis or not.

If sooner_15 calls out the mods again, no one will have to worry about putting him on an ignore list.
 
I don't think sooner_15 was calling out any moderators for the way they conduct themselves in that capacity. In fact, I don't see any evidence that he or she even knew Sooner Quick is a moderator. If I can't question soonersam being wrong about something related to the basketball team just because he has the power to edit my posts, then that guy is gonna be spreading falsehoods day and night.

On the other hand, I suppose this is me calling out a moderator, so ban away.
 
I actually had the same questions as sooner_15 recalling that someone had posted something about Tiny working out and not remembering what thread that was. I see his initial posts were edited so it might have actually been the delivery that threw him in the fire initially.
 
Ha, you won't find a bigger OU fan than me. Hell, I graduated from OU. Just b/c I ask a question and initially say what d.a. said he was working out is no reason to go up in arms. Hell, if I was the one that said it, I would call myself a d.a.

Now, why would I do that to someone I happen to like? :D

You know as well as I do that when someone asks a legitimate question in a respectful manner, there is never a price to pay, no matter who is at the receiving end. r2b1 has it right. I took exception to the delivery, not the question. I believe my friend sooner_15 understands that now. Enough said.
 
I dont think he is making stuff up either...I just want to know why tiny is working out with him and not the team....

so quick, why is he? Has tiny just been (by your words) "peeing on your leg" and just lying to you about his situation?

lucky to answer your question Ada said it best. When we worked out together it had absolutely nothing to do with basketball. It was pure strength and conditioning workouts, and it was only 3 workouts at that.

Like I said in that earlier thread, its not like Tiny and I are best friends more like acquaintances with mutual friends and through that we had a few workouts together. I pass him on campus occasionally and we talk, exchange a few messages through FB but Twitter is his new thing, although he still is on FB. My impression of him is he was respectful, and pretty open and seemed genuine when we talked, about basketball, family, etc. At the time I think he was genuine in that he was coming back another year. He was going to class and doing all the things that would make me think he was indeed coming back. I do think WW declaring put that itch back in him for the NBA and he decided to put his name in without an agent. I hope that answers yours and everyones questions. It's easy to just come on here and say "Tiny isn't coming back" or "Tiny is coming back" and leave it at that but I try to back up my claims with evidence and opinions and I would most definitely not jeopardize OUHoops name by making up false claims.
 
I apologize if I offended someone. I am a passionate Sooner. I don't come on here and just make "predictions" without knowledge. I do have "special informants" that give me the details about all programs. It is my understanding Mr. Gallon will not be back. Here is how I believe it will go down. The NCAA or OU will find him ineligible and Jeff will tell him that. At that point, Gallon will say he is pursuing his dream and declare for the draft. The fact of the matter is Willie TMG and Gallon (I can't call a 6'9" 300 pounder Tiny) are so talented, but not ready for the NBA yet. They could go and play a year or two for OU and be OU legends. They all went about this the wrong way and I hope they make it.
 
Apology accepted, sooner_15. Not much in your post I disagree with regarding the way our MickeyD AAs went about their business the past few months. There was definitely room for improvement.

I hope you're wrong about Tiny, though. I saw a huge change in his attitude toward the end of the season, and I would love to see him get another chance to prove himself. He is a tremendously talented young man with a very bright future, providing he focuses his attention on doing the right things to the best of his ability.
