2014Grad Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Nice guys, but Yikes! I don't think I can look at that list until it's a bit more complete . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Connor Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Pablo Navarro has not received much attention, but I think he has the potential to be a solid contributor next season. I wish he would have redshirted his first year. He reminds me of Chad Wilkerson, who actually planned on redshirting his freshman year, but was put into action and ultimately did not play many minutes that year. His senior year he was the conference player of the year. Go Pablo!!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he was trying to come back from a knee injury, where he missed the first 7-8 games of the season. He hopefully will be 100% percent next year and ready to help off the bench.

Popular Post Idig32 Posted April 19 Popular Post Share Posted April 19 I think our frontcourt is decent. Jones can hopefully make a sophomore leap, Herron and Moore are both pretty reliable IMO, and Gray has the potential to be very good. As for the guards, hopefully McBride comes back. Pair him with Miller in the backcourt and it should be decent. Miller is one of my favorite players on the team. The 3 spot is where there isn’t anyone from last year, or who’s currently committed, to replace Kareem. Obviously, we need more guys. But I don’t hate the makeup of the group that is on the roster right now. They all seem to be high character guys who are all in on ORU. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 HUGE 7-to-10 days upcoming for ORU recruiting, starting this weekend. Several prospects visiting campus, featuring JUCO and portal guys. And the jury is still out on McBride staying or going. Meanwhile, wondering what to make of the likes of Phipps and Bedford not yet announcing new homes. Could they come full circle back to 81st & Lewis? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaglefan 21 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I had been following twitter pretty religiously when the portal opened. ORU probably had 20 to 30 prospects that we were in “contact” with. However, over the last three weeks or so things have gotten very, very quiet. It makes me thing that three possible things are happening, with a possible fusion option of 2 and 3 together. 1.) worst scenario- we are striking out in the portal and with the juco guys so the staff is ready for a rebuild and is looking to build with college freshman for next year. It’s harder to find info about who is recruiting high schoolers with the portal being the rage. 2.) we have slowed down reaching out to portal prospects as we are confident in our ability to sign some of the juco guys and other players we have been pursuing in the portal. 3.) many of the current players are coming back. My hope is that the truth is a fusion of options 2 and 3 . Perhaps we can get McBride and Bedford to return and combine them with a couple of strong juco’s like Hubbard, Lajae Jones, and Brody Robinson and a couple of other solid portal players to create an experienced enough team to make some noise next year. Sounds like we will know more soon. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily a discussion for this board, but I think Phipps would be moving on for more playing time and, if that is the case, he would get more minutes in D-II. Bedford may be looking for something more than what ORU would be offering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Yeah so excited. Thanks for posting ORob 2. That makes the weekend even a little better. Now coach Springmann can build around the Summit League Preseason Player of the Year: Isaac McBride! We got our quarterback and leader again for another season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle88 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 This is wonderful news! My hunch is HCRS will add some more keys pieces and we will have a really good cohesive team next year. Gotta keep using the intangibles like HCRS and Kelsi Musick seem good at doing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
