Well another one is gone, Orlando Allen. Said he is going to forego his Senior season to be with his family... new kid. This is based on Soonersports.com. Cade Davis maybe the teams new post player.

Butter my Bottom and call me a Biscuit!
I didn't figure he would be on the team this upcoming season.
Am I gonna have to walk on?

Bench? I hope we will have at least 5 players so that we can actually play.
our graddy rate is going to suck for the next few classes. looks like jeffy's gonna miss out on that two dollar bonus written into his contract for grad ratesOriginally Posted by yermom
I think Tiny will be next... I hope JCapel (JC doesnt sound right) has some players coming in.
Question: Because I grew up in the 80s, I noticed men wearing shorts over their sweats.... WHY? No one has ever answered that for me... That is one thing I want to know before I die.

Sooo, since Blake Griffin hasn't technically played any pro games, can't he come back and use up those two years of eligibility that he never did?
Five dollar footlongs are so costly.

Thing's just are not going our way.
as of now lets forfeit basketball season next year. anyone?
Pbbbth. Eff that. Here's what I want to happen.
1- Get the biggest group of misfits, washed up athletes and other oddballs you can find in an effort to lose, displeasing fans as much as possible.
2- Losing will then decrease attendance to a level determined to be unacceptable by the Big 12.
3- The Big 12 will then allow us to move to the SEC or other revenue generating conference.
4- All misfits will then be released of their scholarships or whatever we gave them to come to OU in the first place.
5- All of this will backfire when the Cleveland Indians... whoops, I mean Oklahoma Sooner mens basketball team turns out to not suck, thus rallying the fanbase as we make the most unlikely run toward the postseason ever.
6- Nickname Cade Davis "Wild Thing."
I want players who want to play for OU and not for themselves. The Griffin brothers are what is good about AAU, the Willie Warren's and some of the Freshman from last year is what is bad about the AAU. I remember hearing Capel almost from the beginning be unhappy with the work attitude of the new AAU players. Warren certainly didn't step up.
Will take players that work hard over prima donna's any day. Something needs done about the AAU and happy to see the coach that recruited AAU go out the door.
That said, I am also tired of the OKC media market and all their rumors that a lot of times turn out to be false. Saying Tiny had left campus and he was in that class that day shows how lazy they are in their reporting.
I agree, SoonerMom.
I don't follow basketball that much, but I was a little leary of Warren and these other All-Americans. I don't think these guys work out as well for our program since our roster is not stocked with top-notch talent. We might be better off taking hard-working guys that are team players and guys that want to be Sooners. If the Warrens, etc. leave after one or two years then the cupboard is bare and we didn't really gain much by having them here.
Griffin could not have been any better as a player and person. But a lot of these "superstars" are not like that.
we were toooo spoiled with the griffins.
o rly? then you were certainly one of the very few people who initially thought that.
I live in Dallas and recall that some thought Warren had attitude problems at the HS level. Kind of a prima donna. Talented guy but seemed like at least some of that was true while he was in Norman.
Probably not as few as you think thought there were issues.
