So you think he's going to have a major impact on defense playing around 10 minutes a game against the other team's 2nd unit?
Virtually every player in the country has an impressively edited highlight reel from JUCO/AAU/high school. I don't even bother to watch dumb stuff like that.
I just don't understand where this opinion even comes from. Did he recruit McKay? Go to a lot of Indian Hills basketball games? Watch a lot of his film?
He is going to be great in hoibergs system, but I would guess it won't get there until half way through the big 12 sseason. He hasn't played in a long time and it will take some time to get back in the flow.
In case Seth and anyone else needs a tease. And this is over two years ago. He's grown a lot. Dude is an energizer bunny, like Edozie, he just keeps running and hustling. while I don't see him shooting a lot of threes if he's allowed to and does well crap just as well start the final four talks. But I agree with others in that if he can provide a defensive spark, affect the rim defensively and score 6-8 pts and grab 6-8 reb a game well then I'm all good.

I like how in some recruiting profiles, McKay was listed at 6'8", but now he's 6'10" on this board. Why not just bump him up to 6'11", maybe even 6'12".
(I am aware that 6'12" is 7')
Oubre hasn't done anything so far this yearTwocoach is just reeling from hyping up Oubre this offseason.
No kidding. People he's 6'8 maybe 6'9. Quit with the 6'10 stuff.
True that everybody looks like an all-star in those videos, but they do show some general skills. While McKay is definitely a more traditional post player, his jump shot isn't terrible. I don't expect him to shoot from outside a lot but you don't have to be a three point specialist to draw people out of the lane. If he shows he can hit a mid range jumper or the occasional three, that will be enough to draw people out if we need to space the floor. It's not like he's Shaq or something big bruiser underneath. Hogue is a prime example, not a fantastic shooter, but he can hit the shot so the other teams defense has to respect that to some extent.
