Coach Skip Johnson is not just one of the league’s best quotes, but he gets so much out of the Sooners' talent, which is often heavily mined through the JUCO ranks. Expect Johnson’s teams to run and defend well and his pitchers to develop (just as he’s done with Cade Horton, Kyson Witherspoon and others). The Sooners return every-day players Jason Walk, Jaxon Willits, Kyle Branch, Trey Gambill and Dayton Tockey, and returnees Dasan Harris and Drew Dickerson had major roles at times last year. Transfers Camden Johnson, Cayden Brumbaugh, Deiten LaChance and perhaps Brendan Brock could be big contributors for Oklahoma, not to mention big-time freshman recruit Alec Blair. There’s a lot of uncertainty around pitching roles but returning arms, Jason Bodin, Reid Hensley, Gavryn Jones and Jaden Barfield have held important ones for the Sooners before, and Cameron Johnson has always had huge potential if he can throw strikes. Transfers LJ Mercurius, Joey McManus, Jackson Cleveland, Mason Bixby and others could have important impacts.
