Wow....just wow.

Wayman seems to be taking it pretty good.

I had a bad accident when I was a kid and have thought about how I'd feel if someday my leg got to the point I'd have to make a choice like that.

Prayers for him.

[OUHOMER]

yep, were sad.

I hadn't heard that. My best to Wayman.

Wayman winning a gold for the US in 1984 will always be a great memory.

What a great Team he was on.

That's awful news. Hope things get better for him

A number of years ago I had some brief business dealings with Wayman. Everytime we talked on the phone you could literally hear that fantastic smile coming through the receiver. Just an incredibly upbeat, great guy to talk to. He's a class individual and a great Sooner. Surely his great attitude and winning spirit will help him make the best of this. All the best to him.

saw this on the news. He's a solid dude and THE FIRST freshman consensus All-American!

and I shot hoops next to him at the Tulsa State Fair one year.
