If Collins health is okay and he's still on the roster ... another guard puts them at 13. If their MO is the same they won't use the allowed 15.

That's assuming if Allen is back right?

I was curious where Fielder grew up: Idaho. I looked at On3 for the school/location and noticed they have him listed at 6'9". I'm assuming that's his height coming out of high school since Boise State has him at 11" vs 9".

Anyway...this jumped out to me. The incoming frosh:

Samuels: 6'6"
Richardson: 6'6"
Bougie: 6'6"

There's a 35 lb difference in Samuels and Bougie.

Man, in the earlier week or so of the portal window there was a guy linked to here from a directional school and I just can't remember his name. He was going for the draft and asking for another year of eligibility was a guard and 5th year Senior. I wonder if he's still on the table or if the NCAA ruled him out already or what. Haven't heard about him since the initial burst

I hate that Wilkins committed to UK. That would have been a great get for us, but of course, the boosters are desperate to make a mediocre coach in Lexington good.

Not sure who we get now at guard but I still think we need a guard with above average ball handling skills. Even if Allen predictably returns, he still isn't great at generating blow bys. Someone I would like is Tylen Riley from Tulsa. He's visiting OU today I believe.
