Everything Jakolby Long thread

Burton has the physical skills of an NBA player. Whether he can improve to the point he can make it remains to be seen. Hence my use of the word "potential." :)

Fran Frashilla mentioned Hallice Cooke was getting NBA scouts attention due to his promise as a shooter right after he announced he was transferring away from OSU.

No offense to Hallice and Burton but their chances of playing in the NBA are around 2%
 
Sorry but there are way too many unknowns at this point to say that IMO.

If you look at the averages so far through 6 games, we will be returning 13 ppg + Burton.

Between Jackson, Burton and Malou, there won't be any room for error. If one of those guys turn out to be marginal role players, we're going to struggle if Monte leaves and we add nothing further.

Looks like we need some cupcakes non conf next year.
 
Winning 20 games should be very easy for this group. Morris is staying (yes, he is), Thomas, Burton, Cooke are all solid players, Carter and Ernst should make big strides, and Malou is going to be an absolute monster for the Cyclones as well. I think we are capable of finishing in the top 4 of the conference next year just fine.
And Jackson is pretty decent as well.

As with most non - 5 stars. Still Hallice is still on scouts radar after his time at Oregon. Burton is a freak athlete and could be what a team is looking for.
We haven't seen enough of either yet to really conclude their potential. I wouldn't predict either to the NBA at this point but, who knows after next year?

Ridiculous statement at this point since we have no idea at this point how they will develop. The fact NBA scouts are at least interested in Hallice indicates that he at least has the potential due to his shooting. As far as Burton, he without a doubt has the athleticism/strength needed for the NBA. No one knows at this point how he will develop.
 
I'm headed to the TCU and A&M games in January. I hope to be able to catch one of Jakolby's games while I have time to kill.
 
@G_Jones83: Jakolby Long with 30pts & 10 rebounds to lead Mustang past Santa Fe in a rematch of last year's title game. #CyclONEnation #okpreps
 
This is older but I don't think it has been posted. Don't know how I missed it before.

I would say Fred left a three month recruiting void. It is partially Fred's fault for next year. We were not able to recruit while he was playing games with the Bulls. Or maybe we were not trying that hard to recruit after Matty left town.

Fred had trouble recruiting for over a year, not just those 3 months. Everyone knew he was flirting with the NBA since he was interviewing for jobs in the spring of 2014. Rival coaches used that against him while recruiting.
 
I'm gonna go ahead and mute this channel, because that myrtle beach commercial is ridiculous
