  1. As a fan of ORU basketball since 1985 here are a few thoughts for today. The BYU game went as expected.....a 20+ point defeat. Besides being a fan of ORU I have been a life long fan of the Washington State Cougars(perhaps the only one in Tulsa).As a Coug fan I am no stranger to lean years. When Mike Leach showed up in Pullman 7 years ago he had no inherited talent and good coaching ability. It has taken him 5-7 years to finally have a nationally ranked team with good talent that can compete on the national stage. If any of you have ever been to Pullman , WA you will have a greater appreciation for what Leach has accomplished. Tulsa is a much, much easier place to recruit to than Pullman! Is Paul Mills the right coach that can get ORU to national prominence? Time will tell but I assure you it wont happen overnight! With said if by next season we don't start seeing some better talent ie. some shooters that can consistently knock down the 3 then we are sunk. Every good team and even some average one's like CBU have consistent 3 point shooting. ORU hasn't had good 3 point shooting in 5+ years!Here are my 5 ingredients to success: 1) recruiting, 2)recruiting, 3) recruiting, 4) recruiting, 5) coaching and developing the talent that has been recruited! Maybe I am missing something but if you build it they will come! I have seen to many lesser schools build successful long term programs. WHY NOT ORU!!!
