Others facing a bleak situation prefer to have no hope and be relentlessly negative. We all consume entertainment in different ways.

I like to be realistic. It's not about being positive or negative. It's about looking at the facts, and discussing OU basketball as a topic under that set of facts.

I'd love to be positive and have hope. It's not my fault I don't. I haven't been given a reason to feel that way, and I'm certainly not going to pretend otherwise.

Laughable comment. Ridiculous to make this assertion when it is all but assured we have more NIL than plenty of power conference teams. You think Pack, Brown, Reid, and Davis were playing for free?

Pretty sure he was referring to previous rosters under Moser, e.g. before OU really bought into NIL.

Are the women not doing pretty well? At least a couple of former 5* recruits that have done well elsewhere, no?

One of them averaged 5 ppg at Kansas last year but was limited due to multiple injuries and then the other one is a former McDonald's All-American who averaged 10 PPG as a freshman at Kansas State, so she should help immediately.

The issue is they have a 6'2 freshman coming in and a 6'3 sophomore returning, and that is it. Lack of height in the SEC can cost multiple games... Could take a step or two backwards as far as results go which is not ideal.
 
Riley bumped his announcement to 4pm tomorrow.. 4 more hours of hoops depression incoming..

Other than money, why would a top recruit go to OU? I love OU, but Moser has pretty much destroyed the basketball program and our new AD and our outgoing AD don’t seem to care.

This. Money absolutely is a huge factor. But kids like playing for winning coaches. That will never change. And Moser is not a winning coach.

Seems to me a bunch of you guys are complaining about losing the race before it is over. Plenty of time to complain about the roster if and when we get one. Tons of kids in the portal. There is a wide range of kids you can win with. Heck he put together a couple competitive rosters here when he was the only power 4 program in America without any NIL. He was 3-4 missed shots at the end of games from making the NCAA this year with the lowest NIL budget in the SEC, and had to play that roster against an SEC gauntlet. Whatever our NIL budget is, you would think it is at least better than last year.

Like him or not, he is going to be the coach next year. No reason to be so negative at least until we see what he puts together as a roster. I think so far we have done OK, we have gotten Reed, Rogers, Forsythe, Brown, Rooths and Hendricks on the team. As far as I know, we still have mayfield coming in. The only kid we lost that could come back was Atak (my favorite player), so that hurts. But all in all, we did about as good a job as we could in retention.

The race is basically over. we are hitting every hurdle on the 400m while everyone else is at the finish line

This is very reminiscent of a couple summers ago. The only thing that saved that year was Fears. I doubt we’ll have that again.
