Can we talk about Osun Osunniyi?

After watching Musselman in their game vs creighton, and then Neptune, I really appreciate TJ’s demeanor on the sideline. Arkansas’s players acted just like their coach too. Throw up their arms and whine after every call.

Ever seen Fran McCaffrey? If not you are in for a real treat

Lol Fran is in a category all of his own. This quote from Ryan in The Office comes to mind.

“Robert, you got your sheep, and you got your black sheep. And me, I’m not even a sheep; I’m on the freakin moon.”

Musselman has a very expensive team. They better win.

I fine Musselman and Neptune even more annoying than Fran. Fran doesn't chirp to the refs every possession the entire game like those guys. He bottles it up for 2-3 crazy outbursts.

The front court upgrade this year is incredible. Osun and ward are huge improvement. And Bob Jones is an even better Bob Jones. Kunc is still a solid. How great it is.

Is it just me or was his first block tonight half way from the free throw line to the hoop.

We all knew he could block when he transferred, but I haven't seen anyone do that in a while.

I was thinking I’ve never seen a possible goal tend 7 feet from the hoop

On a serious note - how efficient is he on the high post? That’s a wrinkle in our offense I was not expecting. Both tonight and against KU.

It was a key position against that no middle defense. You have to make them pay, and he did.

He's been SO good lately.

I have wondered what Kyle Green coaching could do with upper level talent. We are seeing it play out.

 

[Cyclones8824]

Just a rebound away from a double double. Another great game

 

[cyatheart]

Think it took him a few games to get used to the big 12, he really is playing well now.

Straight out of Hang Time!

It all seems to be coming together for Osun lately, which is huge for ISU.

He's just got to find a way to stay away from the cheap fouls.

 

[mfelske]

Just his presence seemed to cause turn overs last night. He'd rotate over and the Texas player would be like "Oh, ****!" and then dribble off their foot.

He does and so does Rob.
I don't mind Osun leaving the post as much as Rob but they both had fouls pretty far out there last night.

He could be even more efficient in the high post. During the Texas game he was hesitating when he received the ball and had an open look to the basket. I'd like to see him take it to the basket and not allow their help to rotate over.
