While the first exhibition game is Nov. 5, there will be free public scrimmage on Thursday. Details here at SS.com. Perhaps you'll be able to pick our your favorite new player in-game as opposed to in the photos/videos I'm posting here
Onto another n00b Sooner...
Gileysa Penzo
The jersey-pull makes her look like another 7-foot center, but actually Gileysa (please don't ask me to pronounce it please please please) is a 5'9" guard from Puerto Rico, but played most recently in some Florida academy named Montverde... as I read that I get a strange Italian accent going in my head.
I think initially looking at her stats on SS.com's profile you might wonder wtf is going on... shooting guard? Really? But, as ouhoops.com thread points out (along with the correct pronunciation) she was on the FIBA team, so she must be awesome.
Plus, that 7.6 ppg stat was from 2011 FIBA, not against HS buffoons like me
Check this video at about 35 second mark... a missed three she runs in and gets an easy two. Definitely reminds me of stuff our recent guards have done like D-Rob and Vegas-burger:
baj's seasonal projection: I have no idea if Peyton will be our starter at this position or if she's gotten beat out by this hotshot freshmen, but either way, I have reason to have hope that this year will be better than the last. Please please please
