Tirzah was in and out of the lineup and was inconsistent all season. She is definitely a difference maker when she is on her game, but I have to believe that there were some "chemistry" issues in this situation. Very understandable when there is a coaching change. Also, there may be some frustration with Trinity not seeing the floor more and the sisters are sticking together. Sorry to see them go, but wish them the best. I hope that they can enjoy the game at their new school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogus Smith Posted Thursday at 03:47 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:47 AM Looks like she didn't play in 2022-23, so she probably has three years of eligibility left assuming she redshirted this year. The UA website has her listed as a guard. Her stat line as a freshman in 2021-22 was 26% FG, 25% 3-pt FG and 100% FT (2-2 at the line), with 1.2 pts/0.8 reb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueGold Posted Saturday at 08:50 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:50 PM I haven't posted in a long time but when I saw the post from ORUAlum noting that Jalei Oglesby committed I wanted to add her tweet announcing her commitment, I hope she doesn't mind I don't know her personally, but I can remember her playing in the Tournament of Champions at the Mabee Center back in late December 2015 when she was a freshman at Howe HS, and I remember thinking, look at this little person lighting it up against some other school that was 4A or 5A, I can't remember, but holy smokes, she could really score. She's listed as 5-7 or 5-8 but she was probably 5-5 back then, and probably weighed 90 pounds soaking wet (maybe). There haven't been many players I've watched over the years that made me really pay attention like she did when she played, or to say holy smokes whenever she scored from long range, in particular. She went on the become one of the greatest scorers in Oklahoma girls basketball history for the 5-on-5 era, ranking third in points scored with 2,982 in her four years at Howe (a 2A school, but they might've been even A early on in her career there). She is also one of four female players with over 2,500 points and over 1,000 rebounds in Oklahoma girls basketball in the 5-on-5 era. I was shocked as I followed her career, while I was hoping that she would come to ORU, that even after winning a state championship in 2A at Howe as a senior and averaging over 29 points a game that season that she ended up signing with Arkansas Tech. I'm not a coach or an evaluator of talent and never have been, but I knew she could score, and rebound even for her size, and ORU needed both at the time, so why not? So she went to Arkansas Tech, a D-2 school, and suffered a season-ending knee injury during her freshman season (2019-20), and then played the following season, which was cancelled due to the COVID thing, and then injured her knee again and missed the entire 2021-22 season, before coming back and playing in every game this past season. And it was a really good season statistically for her, she averaged 20.6 points and 9.4 rebounds a game. She entered the transfer portal on March 16 so the process of being recruited and committing to ORU was really quick, and maybe it was quick because she already had a relationship with Coach Musick and Coach Anderson, since they were still at Southwestern Oklahoma State when she was at Arkansas Tech, and they were members of the same conference, and maybe the coaches even recruited her out of high school, although that I don't know. She said that Arkansas Tech doesn't offer a graduate degree that she needs, so it is ORU's gain, in my opinion, that they don't. I feel like for me her career has come full circle in a sense since I kept hoping that she would come to ORU when she graduated from high school, and now she's on her way. Very excited about it, and also excited to see what Ashlyn Sage brings, and who stays, and who else the staff might bring in. I'm still not completely sold on the system the coaches run defensively, it was a disaster for most of last season. Or at least the high scores that they allowed gave that impression. MrsSmith, I believe that Ariel Walker, Delaney Nix and Lauren Ramey are the seniors that have exhausted their eligibility. I also saw that Nena Taylor participated in senior day. Sorry for the long post 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
