I've been torn about weighing in on RJ joining the team, because as you all know (ad nauseum) I've been an outspoken critic of the diminutive nature of ORU's guards, of which RJ would represent yet another addition. BUT, the more I think about it, the more I like this signing, for the following reasons. 1. RJ's quite simply a great kid, and parents Richard and Gaysha Fuqua are wonderful folks. 2. He's ORU Basketball royalty - what would it say about ORU NOT to give a crown prince the chance to play? 3. He's yet another Booker T. guy, which is a great pipeline to keep going. 4. BTW connection aside, he's an Oklahoma kid, and a Tulsa kid, and frankly you can't go wrong signing homegrown talent that can play - pays all kinds of dividends in the big picture. 5. As a literal "old Titan", I gotta admit the thought of seeing "FUQUA" on the back of an ORU jersey once again on the Mabee Center floor is pretty darn cool. So, for everyone's sake, I really hope this works out - and that RJ enjoys a healthy growth spurt over the summer!
