Anyone who thinks having the number 3 recruiting class is a bad thing, or even not a great thing, needs to seek help.

We have a good mix of guys with 4 years of experience, like Welch and Gurley, mixed in with some uber-talented young guys. I really like the make-up of this team.

Very excited to watch Sears play too, I think he is going be amazing in this system.

And I cant overstate enough how underrated i think Rylan Griffin's offensive game is. I think he is one of the top 5 pure scorers in this class.

You don't have to read minds when the words are right there in black and white. The guy said he thinks we signed the best class we could have signed, but doesn't think it's realistic of people to be predicting a bunch of accolades for them before they've actually played in a college game. I honestly don't understand what about that take you could possibly find so objectionable.

I agree with you Fever. I think Griffin not being a 5* is a travesty. I think he will play substantial minutes for us

Nothing wrong with that, I was responding to his initial post saying “when will we learn.” So I asked what he meant by that instead of assuming and he hasn’t answered yet. Only your opinion on what you think he meant. Tempering expectations aren’t going to make our class play any better, just make some of y’all feel morally superior if they ever have a bad game so you can be the one who “told us so”

No, it won't make them play better. I agree with you there. There's no sense in setting yourself up for disappointment either though. If Brandon Miller has a freshman season like Sexton's, will it be any less enjoyable to watch if we don't spend all offseason talking ourselves into him being 1st Team All-SEC and a top 10 draft pick? Definitely not in my house.

Some of us are excited about our class and want something to talk about. Is a little hyperbole really going to kill you? Joka just trying to pump some life in this cesspool and y’all jump out of the woodwork with the WeLl AcTuAlLy. Give it a break, Miller is the most exciting freshman prospect we’ve had in a while it won’t kill you to let someone enjoy hyping up our incoming players. No one cares what you do in your house

I want to see the schedule.

You see it as excitement and hype. I see it as Gumpy nonsense. Agree to disagree.

Do you think he can be better than Collin as a freshman? I thought JD could be close, and man I was wrong about that one. But I fricking live Collin Sexton. He was the alpha right from the jump. Is Miller good enough to be the #1 option on this team?

Not necessarily, one is 6’2 the other pushing 6’10” so very different. I meant since Colin.

You said we’re putting a lot of expectations on Freshman and that you’d think we’d have learned by now not to do that. Here’s the thing though, we literally have to put expectations on freshman, we have 4 coming in and 3 of them expected to get big minutes. Maybe you meant something other than what you said.

Now their methhead fans can stop coming to OKC games booing kids wearing Thunder gear. Maybe this time they’ll actually support their team instead of crying about it after the fact.

I hope the Thunder give the Sonics back all of their history like the Ravens did to the Browns.

Even tho their isn’t much to give back.

But you said you didn’t say that and reading comprehension was hard. I’m lost. I guess I agree with what you’re saying now but it wasn’t what you said before. No one is anointing them as the fab 5 or future all stars. It is our best class ever and we’re allowed to be excited and attempt to project their skill sets.

Seattle is a storied franchise they’ll get back their history. OKC isn’t a hateful organization. We want our own identity

Using the reply button properly is also important, especially if you are trying to be a smartass.
