(likely more with the portal)

NOTE: 2020-2021 did not count for eligibility for any player thus I am listing players based on what their eligibility actually is. OU is listing players as if last year counted toward eligibility.

JG
Noland
Bam
Yaya
At a minimum all of these guys should head for Greener postures. If they need to go to D2 or go overseas, whatever, just strongly encourage them to seek other options (i.e., tell them they wont be playing). This is for keeps, not youth league.

Id be fine with schroder leaving too.

Id like to keep northweather if for no other reason, than a big for practice (but i don't expect anything out of him)

Use all 4-5 schollys up. Dont leave a single one opened

Well see on Hill/Sherfield. I want them back, but they clearly have shown they aren't irreplaceable.

I REALLY hope Cortes comes back. His mins went up this year, i think they will next year too. Needs to shoot more from 3

My thoughts as well… rather keep hill more than grant

Don't want GS. Hate his body language and next year's team will be even younger than this year's team. Let the kids eat.

If you think PM is the answer, I believe Grant just slows the growth of the younger guards.

Rough. 3 out of 5 upperclassmen are not good at all and the 2 that are decent were rumored to be leaving..

BoulderSooner · 03-22-2023, 06:55 PM

Godwin now on scholarship

jaymOU · 03-23-2023, 02:33 PM

So when do players start landing in spots? There are so many basketball players in the portal and I really have no idea which ones are good and which ones OU could reasonably have a shot at landing.

Would love a post on a list of legit targets

hoopsaustin · 04-05-2023, 03:21 PM

Lets get some new bodies! I was sad about a couple, maybe 3. But glad about most.

Id use all 6 schollies in portal. If you think the guy can help NEXT YEAR, sign them. No redshirters. No projects.

lexusooner · 04-06-2023, 01:01 PM

Looks like we need help EVERYWHERE ….

C Godwin / Yaya
PF Cole / Northweather
SF Coop
SG OO

Soonerinkc · 06-29-2023, 06:52 PM

Well, moser has really no excuse now. The entire roster is all his.

We’ll see.

BoulderSooner · 07-25-2023, 08:43 AM

OP updated with new weights ..

Darthard up 5 pounds to 190 (bull dog )
Soares up 10 pounds to 215 (this will help at the 4 )

Hugley up 10 pounds to 275 (this might be a little heavy ) also 6'10 per OU (who is usually very accurate)
Godwin up 9 pounds to 235 (this is big for him to hold position )
McCollum down 10 to 160 (my guess is this is his real weight)
Moore up 12 to 222 (6'7 222 that is a 4 man)
Keita same 240

Oweh up 5 to 215 (beast)
Uzan up 10 to 193 (expect big big things from him)

Northweather up 12 to 245 (he is the mystery of this season)

Cole comes in at 6'7 211 (future starting 4 how quick can he ajust to this level)
Cooper comes in at 6'5 190 (not quite the 6'6' but that is very good size for a freshman )

No Maks yet on the roster but i would guess he will be added soon .. (he is in the OU database as a grad student)

Lovelace is a litte dude .. 5'11 135 (this can't be correct can it) and currently the only walk on ..

I guess Jake Moser decided to be done with basketball (he still shows up as enrolled at OU )

this is a bigger more athletic roster ...

Good stuff, Boulder! “A bigger more athletic roster,” indeed! Love it!

Didn’t I read not long ago that Cole is on the injured list? Will he be ready to go when the season starts?
