He's graduating!
Eight years after playing his last collegiate game, Sooner fan favorite Hollis Price is earning a bachelor's degree from OU. The seventh-leading scorer in school history with 1,821 points, Price was on campus Friday for OU's student-athlete graduation reception and will finish his degree requirements in August. Price, who led the Sooners to the 2002 Final Four as a junior and to the 2003 Elite Eight as a senior, has been competing professionally in Europe (Germany last year) since his OU playing days. Other men's basketball players who are part of OU's 2011 student-athlete graduating class are Longar Longar (2004-08), Beau Gerber (2006-10) and Cade Davis (2007-11).

"The last couple year's I've been in Europe, traveling around from team to team, I've been all around the world, I'm a journeyman.
"Today, I'm here to finally finish my degree. It's an exciting moment for me and my family... I have a lot of family here in Norman and they always tell to come back and finish up... not just for myself and my family, but for my immediately family in Oklahoma.
"I'm proud to be a Sooner. It's in my blood."
liberal arts/liberal studies major
"I got to meet Coach Kruger and I thought he was taller than what he is, but coach is a really personable guy. I think it's gonna be different around here. Capel did a great job, but Coach Kruger... I feel the change is in the making and hopefully the fans will come out like they did back then."
Said he's gonna be a father with his girlfriend in November.
Congrats to Hollis, Longar, Beau and Cade!
