Article just released on rivals that is headlined Whispers has quite a bit of Kansas news. The big news is that Darrian Miller is visiting this weekend and reportedly Iowa is now out of the picture. A lot of people on here thought he was leaning that way including myself. He said he is down to KU, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Rivals believes that he will be the rare type of decommit who ends up recommitting back. Boy would that be nice! 

In other news, they talk about how we sent out a surprise offer to another RB named Tra Carson, a 3 star from Texas. He is down to us, Northwestern, and and Utah and will visit all 3. Maybe our terrible season isn't hurting to bad in recruiting... except for Maurice Couch! That one hurts.

Lastly, watch ESPNU at 4 today. 5 star LeBryan Nash is committing. Hoping for some good news! No hats!

Living in OKC for the past 5 years I have finally found an NBA team to actually root for instead of just watching how the Kansas boys are doing. The entire city has really fallen in with the Thunder especially after their showing this past season. They have a great nucleus and having watched every game and attended many (including the heartbreaker in the playoffs when Pau tipped shot in at buzzer to eliminate us) it became clear that we were lacking one thing. That was a true defensive center that could provide some kind of presence down low. 

The days leading up to the draft I was praying that cole somehow fell to us at 18. When the Hornets took him I was devastated. Only to have my prayers answered a couple minutes later when it was announced Cole was coming to OKC after being traded. All my buddies that I had over acted pissed and gave me crap the rest of the night just to rile me up. My phone was blowing up with people ribbing me tellin me how he was the next Greg Ostertag. I spent the rest of the night convincing everyone he was exactly what we needed. I am extremely excited to have Cole playing in OKC as I will get to see every game he plays as they are all televised here but also be able to see him play at the Ford Center where he can revive himself after the nightmares he's experienced playing there in college. Also ready to see our front line with Cole and NIck on the court at the same time. 

Now OKC just needs to give Sherron the chance to make the team and I'll be set. I can see Sherron using this as a big time motivation and making an NBA roster. Just hope he can do it along with Cole and Nick in OKC. 

Will do what I can to keep yall updated on how he is adjusting to OKC and fitting in with the team. Also will do some updates on how he is looking once the pre-season and actual games start as I will be sure not to miss a game again this season. 

Yesterday morning I decided to make the 2 hour drive to Springdale in order to see what we have down on the farm. Even though there was rain in the forecast I still got my brother up and decided to go. Knew Osuna was throwing and wanted the chance to see what he had. So after getting pulled over on the drive I finally made it.

Right when the game started the rain hit and I sat watching in a soaking wet t-shirt and shorts. Freezing my ass off we watched. After 5 innings the delay occurred and after going to have few beers and eat we came back to finish the game. Sat right behind the dish and actually got Aaron Crow and Montgomery's autographs as they were tracking pitches for the next game. After the jump is my thoughts on the game itself.

Just got done watching the O-Royals gameday online. They won 2-0 and their pen threw the last 4 innings, allowing only 2 hits. Now I know its against AAA guys and not the twins or tigers but it seriously got me thinking... would we have 2 maybe 3 more wins if we had Soria and then the O-Royals Pen? Our worthless options that can go... Farnsy, Tejeda, Cruz, Mendoza, Hughes (although he wasn't bad the other night), and Colon (although GMDM finally woke up and swapped him with Rupe already). Now the O-Royals we take to the big league club.... Rosa, Wood, Bullington, Disco, heck even Marte and Holland may be better options. We can go young and cheaper with these guys rather than wasting payrolls and wins with the actual pen guys. So what do you guys think? Keep our pen or keep Soria and replace nearly everyone else with Omaha's bullpen?
