Why is Cortes even flirting with ineligibility? Did he just pack in after the season was over and not finish the semester? Odd to say the least.

“He played 59 games under coach Porter Moser. He took a leave of absence from the team on Feb. 21 citing personal reasons before returning to OU’s rotation on March 1 against Kansas State in Manhattan.”

I suppose you could argue that it gives some other guys, epecially XB, a chance to grow and develop their games where prerhaps they can be more productive this year than they would otherwise have been. But it is not ideal.
Perhaps there are good reasons for this situation but generally not the kind of character thing you like to see from someone who seemignly was in line to be the team's floor general.
Speaking of eligibility any idea when we will get an answer on Ronnie DeGray's eligibility? I'm thinking the odds for the NCAA to grant him a waiver are pretty low.

Even assuming he will get his eligibility restored by the start of the fall semester his inability to partake in the summer practices and the Greece trip is not the least bit helpful at all, especially if he was in line to be the starting point guard.

However, the downside of this drill is that people don't want to hurt their "junk" in practice, which can result in a "flop" on occasion. Likely a good drill imo that teaches getting your feet planted.
Kinda like this guy ...
That Northern Iowa looking FLOP is gonna draw a T every time with the new rules established last year.
And if there is a trainer tagging players in the junk at practice, fire his ass yesterday.
That said, other than the flop training I really dig this exercise. Creative and looks fun.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!

Pohto is leaning BACKWARD with nearly locked legs well before contact in anticipation of flopping, not leaning forward with knees bent in anticipation of taking real contact or blocking a jumper. He is literally training himself to flop when he is breathed on, instead of honestly defending.
