Old Titan Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Sean Young, a 6'-10" center from Bixby, has signed with new Southland rival Central Arkansas, after first committing to play as a preferred walk-on at Louisiana Tech: Bixby's Young Signs To Play Basketball At Central Arkansas (Barry Lewis blog, Tulsa World) It's a little disconcerting whenever local guys sign with teams that we play on a regular basis: they always seem to play inspired ball whenever we meet, trying to prove what we missed by not signing them.

oruvoice Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If he's 6-10 and going to be a walk-on at La Tech, I have to imagine that he is a 'project' at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right - otherwise, we're going to get really sick of seeing this guy at least eight times over the next 4-5 years. And, it should be pointed out that in my first post, I didn't say we passed on the guy - we may have wanted him; he just may not have wanted us...

oruvoice Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Oklahoma high school basketball is not the best competition, by far. And, if you are 6-10 and average 4 points and 4 rebounds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 4 pts and 4 rebounds at 6'10" ???.....S...T...I...F...F........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldeneagle1992 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 HA! I lived in his neighborhood a couple years ago. I actually played a couple games with him in his driveway. He beat me to 20 by 2 points. He had a good 5-6 inch advantage on me and could still barely beat me. He could not push me to the basket so he is pretty weak. So they definitely got a good one there........... HAHA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Sounds like ORU's Jordan Kauffman at 6'11" and 250+ pounds will be pushing this kid around for the next 4 yrs...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldeneagle1992 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If I can do it at 6'5" Kauffman should have no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bballmangc Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 yawn, no need to rag on a player who just got a college scholarship somewhere, I trust the coaches are getting the right players for our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. All I meant when I started this rather unfortunate thread was that I always get a little concerned whenever a local guy signs with a school that we regularly play, because he may come back to bite us in the future. That being said, I still wish the guy well in his collegiate career. ...just not when he plays us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Absolutely....TheEagleman hopes that the kid doubles his average to 8 pts and 8 rebounds with UCA..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
