Hey, does anyone know if Jones has another year?

 

[cmdsooner]

Uh ... yes please. Super athlete, good looking jumper, strong handles, and unselfish passer.

Was only 1/17 from 3 on the year. Jumper looks good enough that volume & percentage should increase, though. Almost impossible not to lol

Yikes. I dont want players that aren't at least 33.3% from 3, unless they are a 5 man

Likely back
Brown

Hopefully back
Reid (Should be a priority)
Atak (I kind of doubt he returns)
Forsythe (On a team-friendly deal)
Kirill (Assuming he can get a waiver)

Likely gone
Nwankwo

No idea
Rogers
Hansen
Holst

If Denny really finds a way to provide more NIL spend, we have to sign a legit, frontline big man that has already produced at the Power 4 level. Kirill can be a quality reserve, but nothing more.

I don't worry as much about finding guards who can play as there are a lot of those. I'm interested to see what Mayfield can provide - if anything - next season.

Some guys have a jumper you can work with, though, and he was just a true freshman. Jalon Moore was 4/35 (11%) the season before he came to OU and we had nearly this exact conversation. He followed that up with seasons of 41% and 38% on a much higher volume because they worked it to death. The other tools are at a level where I think you’d take him and put him on a similar plan. Buddy Hield shot 24% from 3 as a freshman, then turned into a flamethrower. We wouldn’t need or expect him to be Buddy, but just get it to average-ish.
