Transfer Portal 2025

Has anyone ever referred to JN as a good/great shooter?

The other concern is that without a rare star like Fears to draw attention from the defense, how will our supposedly good shooters get their looks? Dayton and Jones are average athletes at best. They are going to need help getting their shots. This just doesn’t seem to be a functional offense.

He shot 37% from 3 in juco and attempted almost 6 3’s per game, so his juco stats are very good. However, until he can prove at this level, you don’t really know. I think he’ll be enough of a threat to have someone on him at least. I’m very interested to see how he does next season. Both him and Jadon.

he's a .528 coach without blake, with two tournament trips in 14 years.

I'm not the biggest Moser fan, but he is a far better coach than Capel. That dude flat out sucks.

No way he's worse than pm..

Also take off krutwig for 2 years to make your "without blake" comparison apples to apples and give me the results then..

 

[The_Banker]

Just noticing this. Oklahoma State is going to be an interesting follow/watch. This kid can absolutely ball/score (nation's leading scorer at Green Bay) but has all kinds of off-the-court issues.

I have no idea if they'll win but I'll tune in early just to see if they gel.

Also for those of you not on the discord, Lutz got an 8 million NIL commitment from OSU. So they have a little to play with hence the 4 commitments now.

 

[hoopsaustin]

More and more writers and insiders are emphasizing how important it is to get guys signed before the settlement. If Frankie is one of our two before that happens, ick.

Yikes. one of our early guys and all of the other teams' fanbases are competing to NOT get him.. good luck pm. This guy might cost your job. Hope you scouted him well

 

[StoopsBros]

Can't add Jadon Jones or Kuol Atak (Torvik's system doesn't have them in there or I'm just an idiot - probably the latter)

 

[BulldogSooner]

Need Lindsay and Mack. Fringe NCAA tournament team again

He can shoot. Not only did he shoot a high percentage from 3 on a high volume, but he was also the focal point of opposing defenses and actually created some of those looks while functioning as the primary ball-handler. Via ball screen or just iso. He’s also shown the confidence & ability to take & make shots 4-5 feet behind the 3pt line.

Defense will obviously be better but he’s certainly not someone you can just leave open. And for the purpose of running your offense and keeping space on the floor he’ll work just fine.

I think JN has A LOT of potential but will he be the same guy after the injury? Are Achilles Tendons one of those things it’s easy to hurt again?

Absolutely a fair question.

Juco shooting numbers should be taken with many grains of salt. Not a lot of defense played at that level.

That’s fine but you also don’t shoot 37% on 6 per by being a bad shooter at any level. And again, they weren’t all just spot up, line grazing wide open looks.

Regardless of what his actual percentage ends up being, you can’t just leave him open.

Very cool, so we are already much better! Final FOUR!

Also, updated the portal tracker as well with the new "additions". (Bobby Brown...)

Your consistency in seeing the negative in everything related to OU basketball is impressive.

Why are we taking Frankie? We can’t do any better?

 

[CoachTalk]

Big 12 guard. Ask him to do a little less and I think things will look better.

 

[pnkranger]

Why are we taking Frankie? We can’t do any better?

Depends on what role we're taking him for. If he's an Elvis replacement, it's a big upgrade. If he's a Fears replacement, we're getting worse.

If Frankie is a first option, then wouldn't mind Javontae Campbell as an Elvis replacement.

We need more than that. We need makes, not just “can’t leave him open.” Also, we heard some of the sunshine pumpers talk for three years about Luke being a good shooter/guy you can’t leave open. Numbers from lower levels may or may not translate. It’s a risky strategy to go into a season counting on that.

Don’t have to look very hard to see negatives.

The portal is still early days. We're not having to count on anything yet, we don't even have our team

37% is good shooting from 3

Where did Northweather end up? Did I read somewhere he visited, that Nick Thompson was his host? Can't remember exactly...
