Old Titan Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Stephen F. Austin checks in at No. 97; projected to repeat as Southland champs: No. 97 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks Safe to say Southland POY Jacob Parker of Bixby is the worst "miss" of the Sutton era? The guy came to ORU summer basketball camps, but was never offered...

coprau Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I am guessing that Jacob Parker didn't want to cut his hair to comply with the dress code.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 He doesn't look any worse than Domo who got away with his doo for four years....apparently exceptions can be made..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUJason Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 There is not much of a dress code or hair code left, I doubt that will be much of a recruiting issue moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 That could have saved TheEagleman a ton of hassle back in the 70s.....i was always running afoul of Jack Wallace and Bill Techanchuk..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 The Missouri State Bears check in at No. 91, and are picked to finish fifth in The Missouri Valley. ORU plays MSU home-and-home this season: No. 91 Missouri State Bears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 So we are also behind Columbia, Georgia State, Northeastern........ouch!.....maybe this is a good thing....ORU is not gonna be well respected this season...maybe the guys can jump up and surprise some teams early......

Why WOULDN'T ORU be ranked below these teams? What did ORU do last year to warrant any kind of preseason love this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Uh.....yeah....not much........we are certainly down somewhere in the 150-200 range ranking/RPI-wise.......although if we can get a few early wins ORU's RPI should be helped by our Nov-Dec strength of schedule and we could be in the top 100 .....still, OT is right.....ORU is certainly not deserving of a ranking higher than 144 at the start of the season.....we were very mediocre and not very exciting to watch during 2013-14....it's just hard to see us ranked below some of these squads that we used to be a lot better than....

ORUalum Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 found this nugget.....according to twitter, this is the Summit League projection from the SportingNews' basketball preiew (i could not find it on their website to verify): @NathanGiese here's the list pic.twitter.com/ZRHUyiaO4b— The Junkies (@The__Junkies) September 1, 2014 they also stated Obi is their pick for POY. i'm still not convinced ORU can win the league after last season's perfomance. i'd be ecstatic if ORU finished in the top three in the first year back. lack of experience at PG really has me worried. i wonder if Coach Sutton will move Korey to point if the PGs struggle early in the season.

theeagleman5 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 TheEagleman agrees that no way ORU should be favored over Denver based on last years' performance....can't see ORU being any better than 3rd or 4th right now....but I am willing to be proven wrong....

Old Titan Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Time to catch up on this thread - ORU plays the Ragin' Cajuns in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand: #73 Louisiana-Lafayette Joel Welser at CollegeSportsMadness.com picks UL-L to return to the NCAA tournament as Sun Belt champions, and projects star forward Shawn Long to be an NBA first-rounder.

Old Titan Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Another preseason pick to win their conference: #60 New Mexico State Sure, the Aggies lost 7'5" Sim Bhullar to the NBA, but they've replaced him with "little" brother Tanveer, who is merely 7'3". Add him to returning 6'10" starter Tshildidze Nephawe, and it's easy to see that ORU will have their hands full underneath when the defending WAC champions visit the Mabee Center on Dec. 13th.
