So No Commitments By Tomorrow……..

Means our spring practice will be pretty hamstrung to do much developing with so many unfilled positions? Seems pretty obvious we’re being outbid embarrassingly so. Sad when you can’t pay people to come play for you!

The new game…..our “CULTURE” vs. MONEY! Not really liking our chances in that one!

Someone better find a way to pay the going rate or forget about going to the NEXT LEVEL though to be fair, Gundy didn’t say which direction football would be moving to, up or down!

Want to know why Global elitists....

Hate Russia? Yes that's the elite DC from the good ole trusted USA also. Russia isn't trying to invade Ukraine- watch this interview in the SGT report with Mr Harley Schlanger from Germany- this guys is AMAZING on his knowledge- most on here will get some head spin age from it- it's a must watch for understanding why our news keeps throwing Russia at us

CDC Admits Cloth Masks Were Always Political Theater


Have to laugh at all the mask Nazis, Democrats, big tech and the MSM that pushed this false BS on the American people. Bunch of liars who have absolutely no credibility left.

I remember that one lady in the grocery store that thought I was trying to kill her because I wasn't wearing a mask. My only response to her temper tantrum was "you voted for Biden didn't you" causing her to storm off in anger. Just had to chuckle to myself.

Rotation review

Enough games under our belt to revisit discussion of MB's rotation. Donovan Williams is clearly out, which makes it stranger that he was starting early in the season. Kouma also out of the picture, even with Kalib glued to the bench. Woody hasn't gotten much of a chance all season and doesn't look like he will. Chris Harris hasn't played at all. I assume that he is still rehabbing from injury. If so, doesn't look promising for him ever to make a full recovery.

That leaves us with the following:
BW
BT
Ice
AA
RW
MAM
TS
KB
KB (benched for now)
MC

Ten guys (nine without Kalib) is really about the maximum that you can play and expect to have some consistent success. I think we all agree that MB should have pared things down sooner, but he has been slow to do that in the past. In addition, he had 4 experienced transfers that he needed to see in action to get a sense of, and I believe that the post-season ban likely played a part in how he handled things this season.

It will be interesting to see how he handles things for the rest of this season. Here are five questions that I think will be interesting if/when answered.
1). What's the deal with Kalib? What will it take to get him involved and back to being a key contributor?
2). Will BT emerge as something of a savior for this team? I acknowledge that this may be a knee jerk reaction after 1 good game. But, can he step into something of a PG role, shoulder a bigger load, and significantly reduce the silly turnovers that were afflicting this team prior to the BU game?
3). Will Smith continue to get significant minutes if/when Kalib returns (IMO he should get all of MAM's minutes).
4). Can AA return to what we saw of him last season? Right now, he looks like he did as a true freshman. Maybe worse. He's still getting plenty of chances to break out of this slump. If he can, it will significantly improve this team's prospects.
5). Is there a way to get Keylan more minutes? I think he is our best overall player, but increasing his minutes would probably require significantly decreasing Ice's minutes or putting AA on an even shorter leash.

'He just had Rondel Walker presence': How OSU's struggling guard led way to comeback over TCU

'He just had Rondel Walker presence': How OSU's struggling guard led way to comeback over TCU​

Jacob Unruh
Oklahoman

STILLWATER — Rondel Walker had 20/20 vision in only one eye as he stepped to the free-throw line.

One contact lens was gone. In the hubbub of the game, there was no time to replace it.

“There’s no other option but to play,” Walker said.

Oklahoma State’s sophomore guard made due.

With 4.8 seconds remaining, Walker stepped to the free-throw line at Gallagher-Iba Arena with a chance to win the game. He calmly made both shots to complete a wild comeback in which he scored the final five points in 31 seconds to seal a 57-56 win over TCU.

Blurry vision and all.

“I’m proud of my dog,” OSU guard Avery Anderson III said.

In a game the Cowboys avoided a letdown and survived an off night offensively, they found a hero in a player who had struggled for two months. And it couldn’t come at a better time.

Walker, a former Putnam West star, scored all of his 12 points in the final half with the lone contact. The contact was dislodged by an elbow from a TCU player in the opening half.


Walker also had three rebounds, three steals and a block in 22 minutes off the bench.

More importantly, he looked like the impactful player from a year ago capable of changing the game defensively and hitting crucial shots in big moments.

“He just had Rondel Walker presence,” OSU coach Mike Boynton said.

Walker had not scored more than four points since dropping 16 in a Nov. 17 win over N.C. State. He wasn’t as sharp on either end of the floor.

That expected presence began to return on the recent cross-country road trip. Walker started to regain his confidence in his shot at Texas Tech.

That led to a big day in the upset of then-No. 1 Baylor. He hit just one 3-pointer but made a diving save on a loose ball headed for the baseline late in the game to set up a Cowboys basket.

That carried over to Wednesday.

OSU (10-7, 3-3 Big 12) was a mess offensively. It shot 26.9% in the opening half, negating a strong defensive half in which the Cowboys did not allow TCU star Mike Miles Jr. to score while forcing 13 turnovers.

The Horned Frogs (12-3, 2-2) still led by five.

Boynton ripped into the Cowboys at halftime. The players held a meeting without coaches, working out the issues.

“It was wholly unacceptable,” Boynton said. “That’s just the focus and lack of attention to detail that was certainly not acceptable in the first half. I’m glad the guys responded.”

TCU’s lead was still increased to eight. After cutting it to three, Walker made a layup with 14:13 remaining.

TCU’s Francisco Farabello, who scored 12 points, made a basket, but Walker responded with a long jumper. After turnovers were exchanged, Walker again delivered, this time blocking a shot by Farabello, leading to a second-chance reverse layup by Isaac Likekele for the one-point lead.

But the lead did not last.

TCU built a nine-point lead with 3:16 remaining. The Cowboys were in trouble.

Bryce Thompson hit a corner 3-pointer on an inbounds pass and Anderson hit two free shots with 1:34 remaining to cut the deficit to four.

After Farabello hit two free shots, Tyreek Smith hit two free shots. Walker followed with a 3 with 31.5 seconds remaining.

Then chaos broke out.

Anderson tipped the ball out of Farabello’s hands into Walker’s face, which led to a scramble. TCU quickly recovered and got the basketball to Jakobe Coles. As he went for a decisive layup, Smith flew in for the block.

“Just as big as my five points were, just as big were Reek’s two rebounds and his block,” Walker said. “I couldn’t have done it without him.”

Walker recovered the rebound and eventually he had the ball again, this time for a driving layup. Miles set up for a charge, but was ruled to be in the cylinder, leading to a blocking charge.

Walker was at the free-throw line with 4.8 seconds remaining.

The Cowboys were dismal at the line all evening. They had shot just 11 of 21 at that point. Walker had not forgotten his missed free shot in the opening half either.

This time, he locked in.

And after TCU’s Damion Baugh missed the 3-pointer at the buzzer, Walker was greeted by Chris Harris Jr. with five high-fives. Walker danced into a group of his teammates.

Isaac Likekele quickly put his arm around Walker’s shoulder and pulled him in closely.

On a night his team needed him, Walker found a way.

“He carried that type of effort (from Baylor) and now it’s leading to him being confident again in his shot,” Boynton said. “For us to be our best, we need him to be more consistently productive. That doesn’t mean scoring 12 points. It just means having a presence and being an impact guy on the court.

“Today, he was obviously the difference maker down the stretch.”

Decertification

It will be done- question is when. And why is it taking so long.

Anyone that just wants to "move on" is very wayward in my opinion. I said it during the GA election- @they stole the Prez they're going to steal GA" and voila.

They going to steal 22 it's why they don't care about polls right now, plus they have so many Rinos they will vote with Libturds anyways- just enough each time.

Fix F In 2020 or it's over. Don't leave an installed Pedo in there

Dr Mary Bowden- Coof treatments

People don't have to get shots, people don't have to go into the hospital and get experimental Remdesivir and be put on ventilators. This doctor treated thousands successfully with early treatments and gets fired bc she speaks out against Rem, cdc protocol and the dangerous shots. Dr Zeb Zalenko also treated thousands with almost all living- and most of these patients were older, comorbid and not the best in health.

Mary Bowden is suing the hospital that fired her for saving lives. Good for her. Amazing many hospitals can't be trusted anymore- to pay them $45-50k per Covid death that was intubated sure was a conflict of interests. Giving $3 per dose of Ivermectin and Zinc was withheld and almost 3k died in her hospital (not her patients) being on Rem and a vent- I don't think she lost one patient.
