I know some don't think he's ready to contribute but the coaching staff actually thinks he's probably the most ready of any of the freshman.
except i'd change "probably" to "unquestionably". not that being more big-12 ready than southwell and williams is that hard.
irving got his minutes and "contributed" last year, does anyone really think it's crazy to think spradling will get his chance to help us out a bit? he's throwing up 5,000 shots a day, running through Greenawalt workouts and studying the playbook; he'll be as ready as he can be come season time. best news i've heard is that he gained 15 lbs already, which definitely increased his meaningful PT viability.
pretty badass that martin can prove that he doesn't hate white people and get a pretty decent player at the same time.
