They will be very young (six freshman and two sophomores) but they will have some better all-around basketball players fighting for minutes. Coach Reid finally has a team comprised of players that he recruited, and he is excited about their potential and the kind of guys they are. Despite their youth, I look for them to be battling for a spot somewhere in the top half of the league this year.The D Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14787418695055324162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038285743523448141.post-85504651372254182682009-09-25T15:09:44.918-07:002009-09-25T15:09:44.918-07:00Lots of speculation re. the ORU starting line-up: ...Lots of speculation re. the ORU starting line-up: Kevin Ford and Dominique Morrison seem to be the only locks. SE Missouri State transfer guard Roderick Pearson is the early favorite at point, with sophomore letterman Kyron Stokes at the #2 spot, with freshman bomber Hunter McClintock pushing for playing time at both spots. Biggest question is whether to go "small" at the #4 spot with juco defensive stopper Michael Craion and Ford at the post, or go "big" with Ford at the #4 and freshman man-mountain Damen Bell-Holter in the blocks. Wouldn't be surprised to see all 7 players take turns starting in the early going...Old Titannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038285743523448141.post-20739273117315201282009-09-24T22:03:41.516-07:002009-09-24T22:03:41.516-07:00Old Titan,

Also the school just announced Oakland will host first and second round games of the NCAA Tournament at The Palace in 2013.Dave Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613207206667934078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038285743523448141.post-73910663547243793522009-09-21T11:17:42.433-07:002009-09-21T11:17:42.433-07:00Any games scheduled for the Palace of AH ?Any games scheduled for the Palace of AH ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038285743523448141.post-87601669060030063582009-09-15T12:32:08.282-07:002009-09-15T12:32:08.282-07:00Yeah, I mostly agree w/ you DP, but i think OU wil...Yeah, I mostly agree w/ you DP, but i think OU will beat Memphis, & maybe Wisconsin too.
