ORUTerry Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Max represented ORU with dignity and class throughout his four years at ORU. He garnered publicity for himself and the school that is incalculable. That Max stayed for four years given the offers he must have received, is a testament to his loyalty. He is certainly in the pantheon of ORU greats and I wish him nothing but the best. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansforever Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Max is not only an outstanding basketball player; he is an outstanding student. Whatever basketball holds for him in the future, he will be very well positioned to start a career in which he is destined to excel. I'll miss Max so much! But I'll be eternally grateful for all the joy he brought me as I watched him on the court. He is one of a kind. ORU has been incredibly blessed to have him. I look forward to seeing him in 5 years at his Hall of Fame induction. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got no problem with Max going to OU. Frankly, I would have less of a problem with it than Max might have going against Big XII defenses. Here are my best guesses for where Max might land, for various reasons: Wichita State TCU Oklahoma SMU Texas A&M Here are places (that I've heard mentioned) that would be terrible fits, for various reasons: Kansas Kansas State Baylor Houston Memphis And here are places that I just don't want to have to watch him play next year: Tulsa Any Summit League team Creighton Arkansas Texas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are my best guesses for where Max might land, for various reasons: Wichita State TCU Oklahoma SMU Texas A&M Makes sense. We can agree the Duke game didn’t help his draft stock. UNC would give him great exposure and he would do well. He would shoot less and pass more. Plus MJ went there and he would probably get drafted by Charlotte. Mills needs a quick start and flashy to win the fan base and get to the dance year 1. Max would do best there. Max going to A&M would also be like going to UNC. Max at A&M would help his draft stock and highlight other areas if his game. SEC basketball is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oruvoice Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Did y'all forget what Max did against the two really good teams we played this year, Houston and Duke? I mean, I wish him the best, but to think he's going to the B12 or SEC and lighting it up for 25 a night? Careful what you wish for... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful what you wish for... not sure anyone has touted him as a 25 pt a night scorer at the P5 level. he'll be the second or third option at best if he goes to a top 25 type P5 school. i think everyone is appreciative of what he did for ORU and wants him to go get the bag in his final season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I hear you. But just for giggles...do you think he'd even be the first or second guy off the bench for that Duke team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg1984 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 He won't be the primary focus of the D with other talented players around him so he'll get scoring opportunities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogus Smith Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Max's future is in his intelligence and leadership. He needs to go to a school that will provide him with the educational foundation that will get him to the next level.....in his ultimate profession of forensics and medical acumen. He will be uniquely qualified to lead a team of professionals some day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUJason Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 If Max goes somewhere where he is not perceived as the biggest threat, and if he could still get 36-40 minutes a game, then I still think he would score 16-18 points per game even if it is at a power 5 school. However, he might not get 36-40 minutes a game. That is the risk of going to another team. Obanor had to prove himself at Texas Tech and that took at least half a season.
