He's our go-to guy. When he stepped his game up last year, he had a way of pulling everyone along with him. Najera, inside banger Renzi Stone and three-point sharpshooter Tim Heskett will be the guts of Sampson's sixth OU team. But how far the Sooners go probably rests on the ball-handling skills of newcomers J.R. Raymond and Hollis Price, the latter of whom is able to play point and wing. Raymond, a partial qualifier, practiced with last year's team.
Price is a true freshman who's just about the quickest thing in baggy pants.
The New Orleans player of the year last season, he also was the MVP of the national AAU tourney. He'll do things that'll have people standing in their seats giving him big rounds of applause. . . . This is the kid everybody buzzes about. He has a chance to be really good. The ball, however, will be in Raymond's hands.
