What do yall think about Kuol Atak? OUs version of KD in a perfect world

Not nearly as big as Kevin Duckworth.

If he averages over 18 ppg, I’ll shove a burrito where the sun does not shine

I’ll be impressed if he averages 1.8 ppg.

That's a long and impressive list of quality programs whose coaches who must not read this board.

Looking through names in the portal, here a few big guys that pop out as potential budget options in the front court.

Jacobe Coles - Grand Canyon, from Denton and played at TCU originally

Arrinten Page - Cincy

Jalen Breath - UNC Greensboro, from OKC

Chris Hodges - Wisconsin

Achor Achor - Kansas State, was definitely a target last cycle

Josh Gray - Missouri

Christian Reeves - Clemson, OU was reportedly interested last portal cycle

Jarrell Colbert - SMU - from Houston

Dorian Onwucheckwa - Ga. Tech, from Desoto

No idea of the status of any of the above’s recruitments, or if OU is even involved, but they’re available.

Then there’s guys with obvious connections like Onyenso, Collins, Traore, etc. but they may not come cheap.

 

[Seymore Cox]

Maybe we can hire Montonati next year!

He’s not as good as advertised….

 

[Seymore Cox]

He’s not bad.

Breath is already committed to Ohio. He would have been a backup at best. Colbert has Oklahoma ties. He’d be a backup at best as well.

We just need an insurance policy at the 5. Rodgers should be good for 5-10 minutes a game, we can go small for 5-10 minutes a game and be okay (especially if any of Holst, Blair, or Atak are serviceable for a few minutes). Just need someone who can backup Wague when he fouls out, etc.

A backup is all we can reasonably expect imo.

Atak: Just watched him one time (scrimmage last fall). Very thin. Very skilled. Between sessions, he would shoot 3s. In one session he made 9 of 10. I would take he or dayton in a team game of horse. Crazy long. So, for me, he is an interesting player. Don’t know what he will give us. Who knows. But he is tall and skilled, so maybe

On the center options, who knew there were this many guys on the planet over 6’10. It is crazy to curse thru the portal. Makes you wonder how we have gone 30 years without decent bigs. There are millions of them

 

[BoulderSooner]

OU may not have enough left over for someone that proven at PF/C too. Pack, Davis, and Brown are probably closed to 5 mil together.

he was going to be a back up at OU as well ..

 

[SunshinePumper]

Usually tough to trust freshman big men to have an immediate impact - unless they're Blake, Durant, etc. but I hope Kai Rogers can contribute next year and show promise.

 

[BoulderSooner]

need to find a 4/5 bench big for sure ... and then the best guard they can find

 

[CoachTalk]

Give Campbell and a 4/5 best rebounder you can find. dunks and makes a layup.

Watch out for a BIG Freshman szn by Rogers

 

[Goldberg719]

Daimian Collins still makes a lot of sense. Not much talk about him either so price may not be high.

I agree, someone else said it too. I flip around all these obscure channels during the college basketball season and see literally tons of bigs on these small school teams that are much better than anything we have. It's mind blowing.

 

[Jccouger]

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills thinking Kai Rogers will be our starter. Only 5-10 minutes?! Dude is a future pro.
