ORUalum Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 will ORU bring in PG with some experience? here's a name mentioned on twitter, but i'm not sure if a "son of" Muhammad would choose ORU... @aggs82 yes he has a few interested he looks to go on visits after the tournament. Abilene Christian, Oral Roberts, and FGCU— JucoHoopsNation (@JucoHoopsNation) March 19, 2014 he's out of Harcum College in PA and originally signed w/ Farleigh Dickinson, but had transcript issues according to the interwebs... Congrats to Ibn Muhammad @DaTakeover_3 for making the NJCAA elite 8 with win yesterday. #Mustangs— Bishop McNamara (@McNamaraHoops) March 19, 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmh8286 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Can't wait to see a kid named Muhammad inbounding the ball standing on the "Expect A Miracle" logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Harcum?....that's a very low level Juco school here in the Philly area about a half mile from Villanova U....didn't we sign some stiff center a few years back from Harcum who was so weak and skinny that he never played for ORU and transferred out within a year?....can't remember his name but TheEagleman isn't sure he wants any more players from Harcum....

SOLO_Gold Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 As far as we know the young man may not even be religious. Silly to assume otherwise . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUalum Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'm honored to say that I've committed to attend and play basketball for Oral Roberts University next… http://t.co/CAPCHGYmuw— AY (@aaronyoung0_) March 28, 2014 STATS Mabee Center game winner Class 6A boys basketball: Aaron Young's 3-pointer gives Edmond Memorial the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 If I am reading things right, Young will have three years of eligibility. He graduated in 2013 from Edmond Memorial - who won the Oklahoma 6-A championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOLO_Gold Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Aaron is the younger brother of former Drake guard, Josh Young. From what I hear Aaron is a 5'10 high motor defensive minded PG who plays with a lot of passion. Not a great shooter but again his strength is in his energy and enthusiasm on the court. He is supposedly the best guard on a Eastern Oklahoma State team who made it to the NJCAA national tournament. Hard to tell anything this early on but it's nice to see him give so much love to the program –– seems like a good kid. More info: OK Hoops: He played at Edmond Memorial so there's probably no better website to do research about him. Edmond Memorial vs Edmond North (2012): Young is #20 Edmond Memorial vs Midwest City (2013): #20 Side by side photo with 6'1 brother, Josh Young Also if you guys don't already follow him on Twitter, give @Sam_Duren a follow. He's the guy who started OK Hoops and is constantly talking about Oklahoma High School hoops (where we are increasing recruiting from).

theeagleman5 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Sounds like Young is a strong contender to start at PG for ORU next season considering the scattershot play we got his year from Singleton and Jackson..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOLO_Gold Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ben Berry: 6'3 guard played his freshman year at USAO, where he was named the Sooner Athletic Conference POY, before transferring to Northern Oklahoma College in Enid. This article from January 2014 says he sat out last year with a broken foot. Berry, the Sooner Athletic Conference freshman of the year in 2012 at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, had transferred to NOC Enid hoping to be the last piece of a national tournament team. He could have gone to a four-year school and have three years of eligibility, but instead he chose to return to NOC Enid as a redshirt sophomore. “I wanted to widen my options and get more looks, hopefully, from some bigger programs,’’ Berry said. “I’m definitely shooting for Division I.’’He is encouraged by recent Jet stars Joe Smith (Wichita State), Wayne Runnels (Creighton) and Connor Brooks (Stephen F. Austin),, who have found their way to Division I rosters. Other quote of interest: “The reason I left USAO was a lack of will on the team,’’ he said. “The players didn’t want to win enough. Coach Shamburg promised me a structured program that would win games and work hard. That attracted me.’’ How he sees his game: Berry is shooting 51.4 percent from three-point range and 57.6 percent from the field. He is averaging 7.1 rebounds per game. “I really like to think that I can do a little bit of everything,’’ he said. “Lately, I’ve been shooting a lot of threes. I don’t know how coach thinks about that, but I’ve been making a lot of them. I feel I should be an all-around player instead of just being a three-point shooter or an insider shooter.’’ Here's a video interview of Berry while still at USAO: In the Saddle with Ben Berry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 good info SOLO GOLD...he sounds like a gym rat type guy. the 3 pt shooting jumped out at me because ORU struggled much of the year from deep. i guess Coach Sutton was not satisfied with his roster. it looks like a couple of guys won't be back.

ORUIllini Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 good info SOLO GOLD...he sounds like a gym rat type guy. the 3 pt shooting jumped out at me because ORU struggled much of the year from deep. i guess Coach Sutton was not satisfied with his roster. it looks like a couple of guys won't be back. Thanks to all you "insiders" with this great info....it's very exciting to learn about these players...I too was wondering about the roster size for next year since Mason and Glover were the only seniors....I'm not knowledgeable enough to speculate, but who could possibly not return next year? Are players told the team is going in another direction? Are scholarships taken away? Does anyone know Henderson's academic status? Could he possibly be one who does not return?
