It sure would suck to have Osby on the team.

we get from Hood this year. Would Osby even still be playing for us this year though or would he have already graduated? I know he sat out a year on the transfer.
I thought he came into the system the same year as Bost so I'm pretty sure he would be playing. He would really have helped our depth this year, but with Stans we seem to have a ridiculous number of transfers out.
At Oklahoma right now, he is averaging 30 minutes a game, 12.3 ppg and 7.7 rebounds per game. It would be nice to have.

Yes, and having him either starting at the 3 or sharing minutes would have allowed us to shave 5 minutes per game off the minutes played for Hood and Moultrie. That's called depth and having a bench. Something Ricky doesn't ever have and always has an excuse because he runs off half his team every season. It's pretty telling when you can count the number of 4 year players in half a decade on 1 hand.
So of course he gets much better numbers than he did at state because they are going to play him a lot more than we would. He would still be coming off the bench for us here and would not be getting 12 and 8 a night. He is the Arnett Moultrie of OU....sat out a year and trained to get better.
He would have taken up minutes for Hood and Moultrie, and we wouldn't have had to play Brian Bryant as much either. Plus he definitely would have started the game yesterday against Bama and would have made a very big difference in the game. Not necessarily enough to win it, but we would have been a much better team yesterday if we still had him. I don't ***** about all the transfers and dropouts Stans has had, but he's definitely one to ***** about.</p>

Actually wouldn't be a bad team. Anybody else to nominate for first team ahead of any of these guys?

Just throwing this out there, but one of the excuses that is always
mentioned is the fact that we have not depth...how different do you
think we would look if we would have kept Bailey, Osby wouldn't have
transferred, and it would have been Sidney kicked off the team instead
of Bailey?
</p>
Osby is over at Oklahoma averaging 30 minutes a game,
12+ points a game, and 7 + rebounds per game. I've heard people on here
say he wouldn't be playing here, but I don't believe that. Someone said he wouldn't be playing much, blah, blah...but people who say that - ask yourself this question - would he be a better option off the bench than Wendell Lewis? If you are honest with yourself, I don't think you can say that Lewis is a better option than Osby. Do you think Lewis would average 12 ppg and 7+ rpg even if he played 30 minutes a game?
</p>
I'm sure people won't want to put blame on Stansbury for our
depth issues, but how many other teams in the country have so many
players transfer out each year? I don't think it can be said that this
is just coincidence. Another coincidence, or not so much of a
coincidence, is that it seems the players that leave are typically the
harder working, defense playing, players and never the players like Tang
Hamilton or Ravern or Renardo that are all about themselves and aren't
team players. It is curious that these players stick with our program
while players like Hansbrough, Reginald Delk, Elgin Bailey, and Osby
leave the program. I know each of those players had some other reasons
for leaving such as thinking they deserved more playing time, but isn't
it possible that maybe they really did deserve some more PT because of
hard work while our head coach coddles our so-called "talent" and "big
time" guys?
