Austin who?Comment

It's like watching an episode of Botched. You know you don't want to look but you just can't help yourself. Why would Tawny Kitaen do that to herself? She was hot without the boob job(s)...wait, what were we talking about?Comment

Is there any chance he'll come back?Comment

Austin Reaves: The One That Got Away.Comment
-
This morning when I woke up and had my usual Colt 45, I spilled some for Harambe and Austin while listening to "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac. It gave me closure and now I'm at peace with it all. There's just something about Stevie's sweet voice that made it feel like everything is going to be okay.

"OU basketball: Wichita State transfer Austin Reaves has found new start at Oklahoma" - The Oklahoman

"...So why did he transfer?
“That's a hard question,” Reaves told The Oklahoman, choosing his words carefully. “I just didn't feel like I was able to play my game there at Wichita. I just felt like it was time to move on.”
Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall and Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger are known to have vastly different personalities. Marshall is fierce while Kruger is universally liked, though Reaves didn't blame his former coach for his departure.
“They're both as successful as any coach in the nation,” Reaves said. “Whatever they do works. There's a big difference in the style, but I'm happy I got to play for both.”
Reaves said Wichita State's roster turnover was the main reason he transferred. One of his roommates, Landry Shamet, turned pro. The other, Brett Barney, transferred to Omaha.
The teammates he came to college with were largely absent, and without those connections came the need for a new start...."

Ahh whatever. Too easy to call him a snowflake which he definitely is NOT. He's a good kid first and a pretty good Division 1 basketball player second. Wish him well and agree to disagree is all. P-5 school coaching generally cater to talent...and good for him to achieve that status. Play angry schools have a little bit more to prove before tasting that privilege. Go Shocks!!!!!!FINAL FOURS:

I look forward to watching Austin play next season; the Shockers lost a fine Division 1 basketball talent when he left.Comment

he wants to be a big dog on a roster yet he leaves exactly when his time to be the big dog arrives. I see how that works.Comment

Your statement does not support your premise; if all Austin "wants to be" is a "big dog on a roster" then he certainly would not have left WSU.Originally posted by Dan View Post
IMO the Oklahoma News article provides new information that "something" was wrong within the Shocker roster last year and at least a portion of the "something" must be borne by the coaches. IMO Austin is very likely to demonstrate with his play under Coach Kruger that his talent was being abused by the Shocker coaching staff - time will tell.Comment

He said he wasn’t able to play his game at WSU and there was too much roster turnover. Read into that how you want, but I read, that he didn’t think he had the ball enough. He was the big dog in high school and the ball went through him. This would have been his year to shine and he bolted. Maybe it was because his firends were gone, if that’s the case, don’t say it’s because you couldn’t play your game here.

I really do dislike this kid more after reading that article.
Roster turnover? Stop being a baby. McDuffie stuck it out, and if anyone had a reason to leave it would have been him. At least McDuffie has a shot at the NBA and could have improved his stock by going to a P5 school.
WSU didn't let him play how he wanted to? What exactly does he think his game is? He couldn't guard anyone, didn't drive the ball, and never created for himself. He did get the ball when he was open, though. He wasn't the best player on the floor, but expected to get all the touches?Comment

Actually, it should be the opposite. Reaves is taking the high road if the rumors around town are true for why he really left.Originally posted by shocker43 View Post
