If the OU basketball team was going to draft one player from the football team, who would it be? — Rick, Lawton
Interesting question. Among the best high school basketball players now on the team are
Sam Bradford,
Lendy Holmes,
Dominique Franks,
Quinton Carter and
Phil Loadholt.
Since OU needs the most help at point guard, I would probably go with either
Holmes or
Franks, though I'd imagine upon reading this that
Bradford would challenge either to a one-on-one game and probably win.
Will any of the backup quarterbacks redshirt this year? — Jason, Oklahoma City
Both sophomore
Keith Nichol and freshman
Landry Jones are candidates to redshirt this year, thanks to the presence of senior
Joey Halzle, who could fill in at quarterback if something were to happen to
Bradford. OU could redshirt
Nichol this year and
Jones in 2009, or perhaps the other way around. But the most likely scenario is
Nichol redshirting this season.
