My name is Curtis Finchum, I am a student at Oklahoma State University and I am proud to be Cowboy. I played half a season of college basketball before serious injury caused me to end my career early. I enjoy basketball both at the collegiate and professional level and I love music as well.

    New Article: Kevin Durant Vs. Brandon Jennings: The Rivalry Begins

    Three year veteran Kevin Durant and rookie Brandon Jennings have both done something that many thought wouldn't happen until the future. Maturity was the biggest question surrounding both players, but so far this season both have answered that question.

    It does, but I have to admit, it's hard to statistically make a case for sexton right now, especially with the massive stats other LB's in the big 12 are putting up right now. I love sexton, and agree that he is the best player on this board, but I'm not sure he makes first team All Big 12, because Jesse Smith has been putting out 11 tackles a game (hard to argue) Von miller leads the league in sacks/tackles for loss out of the position, and Sean Weatherspoon does everything and is a rare talent on a shaudy defense.
    Im not trying to discredit what youve said, but asking if you think its fair that those three guys merit a first team slot above him due to being their defense's lone talent and posting unprecedented stats.
    By the way, I currently see both cox and lavine as big 12 first teamers. Both are as reliable as great defenders come and are posting the great numbers to boot.

    Thanks for everything!
