ORob1 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The downside for us is that it makes more room for ORU players to follow Mills…I sure hope not! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUSwagger Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 One team trait new coach Paul Mills wants to bring with him to Wichita State basketball BY TAYLOR ELDRIDGE MARCH 29, 2023 7:00 AM https://www.kansas.com/sports/college/wichita-state/article273719360.html WSU currently has seven scholarship players on its roster: juniors Colby Rogers, Jaron Pierre, Xavier Bell and Quincy Ballard, sophomores Jalen Ricks and Isaac Abidde and incoming freshman Makhi Myles. With no point guards currently on the roster, ball handling is sure to be targeted by Mills in his first recruiting class for the Shockers. In his Sports Daily interview, Mills said he invests heavily in his program with player development. Ball handling should be a pillar of that work this offseason. “Priority number one for me is you have to have a work ethic,” Mills said.

Paul Mills is a tactician and will always find ways to build efficiencies and put people in the space that best fits their talents for the team. He seems to be always thinking ahead. 2. WSU needs ball handlers. To that end, I wouldn't be surprised to see Max Abmas and/or Kareem Thompson playing another year of college basketball if other options do not come up. They can bridge the gap to a long-term solution for taking care of the basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUIllini Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Upon further review the “pickle” portion is actual pickle ball! I’m out. Guess I’ll be checking out Waldo’s instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been to Oklahoma? I, and I’m sure others on the board, assumed with your user name that you were an ORU grad! How did you become an ORU fan having never been to Oklahoma or attended ORU? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ORUIllini Posted May 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2023 Not an ORU grad, just an ORU fan living in the Land of Lincoln. I have completed some courses through the ORU Online Bible Institute for what that's worth. As a believer it was the man Oral Roberts that I was always fascinated by growing up as a kid and when I learned more about him and the university he started, I began following the Titans back in the mid 80's and have just kind of stuck with them over the years. I've managed to pick up a few basketball media guides off eBay to learn more about the history of the program and really just believe in what the ORU mission is all about! One of these years I hope to make it out in February to catch a basketball and baseball game over a weekend. Go Titans and Golden Eagles! 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to jokingly ask if it was the great ORU teams of the mid-80's that drew you in as a fan but turns out it actually was. That's awesome!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
