Will we better next year?

[stevent11]

I say yes.

 

[seniorsooner]

Too early to tell really.

 

[NickZepp]

If we play team defense...Yes.

 

[hoopsaustin]

Better

 

[runner1182]

i say yes because we got guys that will get lost in the team and do whatever it takes to win so i say yes

 

[Bk2X]

Record will be better for sure...

 

[soonerbms]

Better than 13-18? Yes.

Winning record? Probably.

NIT or CBI birth? Maybe.

Big Dance? Not a chance in hell.

While I think NIT or CBI is more likely than NCAA I fail to understand your response.I mean if last years team had played up to their talent I could see thinking that surpassing last year and making the NCAA as a longshot.The fact remains that year;s cluterfu*k was the exception to the rule not only for OU but for Capel.

While I agree this team has nowhere near the talent as last year the talent level is at the same level that KS and Capel both coached sucessfully in their careers.Because there are so many new faces at OU and we will be small inside I think it is unlikely thatTHE DANCE will be OUr postseason destination next year BUT impossible ? BULLSH*T. We have made the tourney with less talent.

If these guys play as a team both offensively and defensively, they will be. I don't think I ever saw a Sooner team with so many invididuals players playing just for themselves. If these new guys come in with a different attitude and the returning guys have a better attitude, I think the Sooners will be a better team. Now that doesn't mean they will win the conference or even come close but they will be better.

I was going to post the same thing because every year each team is 0-0 and could be good but i said screw it who am I trying to convince over here

 

[OULad]

I dont think we can be worse. I wouldnt say no chance in hell at the NCAA, but the CBI is our likely destination.

 

[buttermaker1]

No Tiny, TMG, Willie or Crocker. No friggin way

 

[Hecubus]

We'll have a winning record and if the JC/D1 players we're bringing in can adjust quickly then there isn't any reason now (before the season) to think it won't be a much better season. Make the NCAA's and everyone will be excited instead of disappointed with our w/l in the tourney or the seeding... so we do have that to look forward too.

However it's not like anyone here is great at prognosticating or we could have been of great help to Coach Capel during last years recruiting.

 

[Mr.B!!!]

If we play team defense...Yes.

How can you have ANY idea of how good we will or will not be next year?

I dont think anyone knows.....but taking into account that the big 12 will be slightly less competitive I believe we will be better....but thats all assuming pledger and fitz come back in better shape

 

[Seymore Cox]

More guys that can net minutes. We'll bring in one more big that will log minutes putting us at 10 players that should be able to net minutes. Kyle Hardrick and Tyler Neal are the only guys I anticipate that won't net minutes.

 

[red recluse]

yes. i have absolutely no evidence to support that opinion. but i have a strong feeling we won't be getting blown out as often as last season.

 

[Krugerfan52]

I would be willing to bet that we will be better than 13-18 and we will not finish the year with 9 straight losses unless we have a rash of injuries.

I'm not saying we will win 20 games, but we will be better than last year. We were pretty bad last year. We may not be much better than we were in November-January, but we will be better than we were in February/March.

 

[TGuidry25]

way worse. cept 3 guys none of these guys have ever played together. it will take at least half the season to figure out how they play together and see the pieces we really need.

 

[HeismanWatch]

I say yes.

Better than this year? A couple of games perhaps.
