Oh, wow! That video gives me chills!!!

I felt like they diluted the message a little bit by including guys like Ryan Spangler and Jordan Woodard. Both those guys were great Sooners, but the video would have been more powerful if they just used Adams, Tisdale, King, and Griffin.

You will find no bigger fan of Tisdale, Adams, or Griffin than me however Spangler and Woodard played on more Final 4 teams than they did. Last I checked basketball is still a team sport and all of them are from Oklahoma (high schools). The point was stay home and help OU be great and that was made.

Were all of them Oklahoma POY?

You're right, which is why I'm miffed C.J. Cole wasn't in the video.

Yeah, but the four big names are in a caliber all by themselves. Are Spangs and Woodard even among the 30 greatest OU basketball players ever? I mean if you did a first, second, third, and honorable mention all time OU team, those guys wouldn't sniff it. That's all I'm saying.

does it matter? they are kids born and raised in Oklahoma that started on a final four team! That was the point of the video. Stay home be great

Haha nice

Trae also knows Woodard and Spangler. Having them on there wasn't that out of the ordinary IMO.
