Transfer Portal 2025

Broken clock is wrong twice: maybe this is the 2nd for him. Brown is a legit dude. I think this is the best portal class for OU we've ever seen. I wasn't too thrilled last year - some of the guys out performed my expectations. On paper this is a good class with the 3 guys in HS. If Blair never shows up hope we can get one more guy; a guard and a 4 man
I agree he is legit. But I hate hyperbole. Just tweet that he is a huge addition to the roster and should make us a lot better. My comment isn’t anti-Brown by any means. It’s anti-Lusk.
 
Coach, I don't remember ever having seen Reid play. If he played against us, I just don't remember it. What is your take on Reid? Is he big and tough enough to help inside? I have seen him listed at 6'8, which would be tall enough, if he really is that tall. I was hoping for an "inside" 5, but would take a tough rugged 4. I suppose anything helps at any position, whether it is just what we want.

And, what are you hearing about our chances with Reid?

According to Lusk, Reid would start at the 3 for us with the ability to slide down and play at the 4 some
yeah i don't see that at all ... he is a 4 only all day .. and the odds that he starts for OU next season are IMHO 0.00%
 
Yeah don’t really see him as a 3 either… must be the only way they are selling him on coming here tho haha
Agreed. He’s kind of a tweener to me, with the 4 being a better fit for him. I wouldn’t mind going a little small ball at times and having him and Tae as your forwards. You could also play Nwankwo at the 3 in those situations and that would be a very athletic frontline. I guess I never felt like Reid would be a serious option for us, but if Porter can make this happen…we’ve got some serious pieces to play with next season.
 
Brown
Pack
Reid
Davis
Wague

Forsythe
Jones
Nwankwo

Rogers
Blair
Atak
Holst

Even with Reid, worried about what we'll do in the post when Wague's in foul trouble. So would we do Reid and a 5?
 
Lusk saying that makes me think they are using it as a recruiting pitch. Telling him “your position at the next level is at the 3, we are going to get you there”. Might not be reality, but could be a good pitch.

Lying to a player is never a good pitch, so I hope that's not the case. May help you get one kid, but will kill your credibility on the recruiting trial. As much as I can't stand Moser as a coach, I don't have any reason to think he would sell a kid a bill of goods.

I have no clue if this kid has the skills to be a three, to be clear. But if he doesn't, don't sell that to him.
