ORUJason Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 It doesn’t appear that KD has regretted leaving OKC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleManiac Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 1) No ill will towards Kevin Obanor. He gave us some incredible basketball and lifted our program to new heights. He's graduated and has every right to pursue other opportunities. Appreciate all his efforts. 2) I understand the parallels in the situation if KO does go to Arkansas, but you can't compare last year's Arkansas team to the 73 win Golden State team that eliminated OKC. You also can't compare OKC (a great NBA franchise) to a low major ORU. The situations just aren't comparable. 52 minutes ago, ORUJason said: It doesn’t appear that KD has regretted leaving OKC. KD will never admit publicly that he regrets leaving OKC - he may not even admit it to himself. But that was undoubtedly the biggest mistake of his NBA career, maybe his life. He went from small town hero to the biggest villain and one of the most hated players in AGES. Maybe all of his issues are unrelated, but the correlation from that move and the beginning of all of the twitter drama and insecurity seem to be a bit more than a coincidence to me.

darrenj Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Pretty sure he is set on Texas Tech and just waiting for the transcripts to go through. They definitely need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure hope you're right - for some reason, the thought of the Piggies getting over on ORU yet again just rankles my craw. And believe me, if you've never had your craw rankled, it is not a pleasant experience. #oldmancliches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue82 Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 Selfishly, I would breathe a big sigh of relief if KO ends up in Lubbock vs. with the Hogs. Fayetteville is just too close to Tulsa, and operates within the same media market. As such, any mention next season of a positive story about KO’s performance with Arkansas would also carry a message (subliminal or overt) of “ORU wasn’t good enough to keep him”. That shouldn’t happen (or at least as often) if Kevin is a Red Raider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Verbal commits also has K.O. going to Texas Tech. Good for him. He will get a lot of chances to play on national tv agaisnt high quality competition. This is his chance to shine again! K.O, had a great career at ORU, finishing in the top 20 all time in both scoring and rebounding. His freshman year was off the charts, as he came in and was the big bright spot on a 11-20 team. Kevin was so fearless that year! A lot of good memories throughout his career, God bless him on his next journey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oruvoice Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I/We knew he was going to Texas Tech a month ago. But, I guess it was cool to do all those tweet thingys and draw it out?? I don't wish any ill on the kid, but at this point I won't lose any sleep if he ends up playing 15-20 minutes a game and averages 6ppg on a .500 squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORob1 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 If it had to be this way, I'm just glad it's over! The drama was pretentious and egotistical, IMO. Pumped about next season and seeing what Max and the fellas can do. Super excited about Luka and the new recruits. Go Big Blue! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
