UMass Transfers looking at OU

[cvangild]

Look at Buddy's & Cousin's 3 pt % their freshman year. They were 24 % and 25%, but they both brought those up into the 40%+ range by their Jr. season.

Look at Woodard's % his soph (25%) vs. Jr(45%)/Sr(36%) years. Believe it or not, it IS possible to improve your shooting %'s. Those are just 3 most recent examples.

Just because the kid shot 24% from 3 land during his true freshman season at UMASS, doesn't mean he will be a career 25% 3 point shooter.

Shooting is all about time and effort. Tons of repetition. Those who put in the time, improve their %, those who don't, won't. There are always other factors that can impact it as well (injuries, focal point of offenses, open shots vs. contested shots, etc.), but you typically see most shooters steadily improve their % over time.

Considering OU has never been a school to hit it out of the park when recruiting highly-ranked kids (the highly ranked kids coming here are from Oklahoma). If there is not a kid highly ranked from OK, I always assume they won't be committing here (that way I am pleasantly surprised the rare occasion it happens).

I would recruit these athletes, but that is just me.

I remember those guys... I think they were late visitors last year, i believe we got Shepard & that was it for the Jarreau kid...?

I could be wrong but I think OU stopped after Pritchard, then started back on them but didn't get them, then OU got shepherd. I could be wrong though.

not sure why you say Jarreau needs work on his shot. he actually has a pretty good looking shot. just needs more reps. I am more concerned about his ballhandling than his shot.

All his 3's went in on his highlight video, true.

I am not talking about whether or not they went in.

these do not move my needle

Of course they dont

Would take jarreau for sure. Much better prospect than lazenby but oh well.

Understatement of the year 2017.

The guard was a take from the get go.. by many D1s I believe, but they wanted to play together and not many D1s wanted the big from what I understand. I remember being pissed we didn't' go get them, but the big averages like 3pt 3reb a game which is no good. Jarraeu has averaged basically 10-5-5 his whole career and is just a freak athlete/leader.

we didn't miss much
