i c y c l e r i d e r s ro a m i n g Campus Corner may now rest their rides on a newly installed rack that resembles a Norman legend. The man wears a white baseball helmet with a black face guard attached to its front and a white chin strap to prevent it from falling off. He is often seen around Campus Corner dragging a crimson wagon with a black handle that contains copies of the Norman Transcript, which he sells for 75 cents per paper as a contractor. Calvin Steves knows he’s popular. He’s been selling those newspapers for more than 40 years. “I like it— being a legend,” Steves said in his leisurely— paced voice. Most people that pay attention to the Norman community know Steves, or know of him. Barry Switzer once gave Steves a free ticket to Irving, Texas, to watch the Dallas Cowboys play football while Switzer served as the team’s coach, Steves said. His recognizable appearance isn’t just for aesthetics. When he was 11, he crashed while riding his bicycle, falling over his handlebars in the process. He developed epilepsy as a result of the accident. The helmet he wears serves as protection when he has epileptic seizures, which happen sporadically. “I could be talking to you right now and go into one,” he said. The front of the helmet reads “Please Do Not Hit Front Of Helmet.” He could also go into a seizure if those directions are not followed.

“Sometimes, I don’t know when I’m going to have one,” Steves said. He’s 53 years old and has been a Norman presence since he moved from upstate New York as a boy. Jennifer Robertson, a local artist participating in the Norman Public Arts Board’s bike rack project, has known Steves since the mid-1970s. She designed the bike rack that looks like him, which has been stationed in front of Louie’s Bar & Grill since the last week of April. “He was too young to be selling newspapers in bars,” Robertson said. She previously worked in a now-closed bar where Brothers Eatery & Pub is currently located. She said the staff would let Steves come in when he was a kid and sell his newspapers to customers if he didn’t harass them. Along with the Steves-inspired rack, Robertson, who works for OU in addition to making art, created four other bike rack designs to send to the arts board. The bike rack designs have to meet a set of criteria set by the Norman Public Arts Board, and then a panel picks its favorites, Larry Walker, the chair of the board, said. Next, a local metal fabricator decides if the designs are able to be erected, and if approved, creates the rack, Walker said. The arts board picked two of Robertson’s designs: Steves and another she called the “bass-man,” which resembles a musician friend of hers who recently passed away. It was nearly just the “bass-man,” though. Robertson almost didn’t send the Steves-resembling bike

rack to the arts board. “It wasn’t exactly Calvin yet,” she said. But she sent it anyway. “The thing about Calvin is that everybody knows Calvin,” she said. “And part of the reason I did Calvin is ... with all of these cities lining up with more and more chain places, chain restaurants, every town is starting to look the same. “The difference is the people. That’s what makes it special.” Walker said the arts board’s bike rack project is in its third year and has gotten many different bike rack designs installed throughout the city, including Native Americaninspired racks, a storm cloud and

a jazz musician — all designs connected to Norman culture. He said the Steves-inspired rack instills a personal touch to the project. “It’s beautiful. It’s a great bicycle rack, but here we have an actual person who is identified with it, which truly makes it a special touch,” he said. In fact, Walker called Steves a Norman “icon.” “Calvin himself is just kind of like an institution here in Norman,” he said. “You see him walking around selling his papers in all parts of the town, and he’s been doing it for a long time. “I’ve been here on Campus Corner myself for 45 years, and I’ve

seen him virtually all of that time.” The steel on top of the “head” of the bike rack is shaped more like a bicycle helmet than a baseball helmet with a face guard. But Steves doesn’t mind. “I like it just the way it is,” he said. He admires the rack and enjoys that he served as its inspiration. Robertson said she sees him attached to it more than actual bicycles. The steel construct, unless removed, will forever attach Steves to his home — even when he’s no longer around. “I’ll be here forever,” he said. Andrew Clark

Retirements show cost of cuts Departing teachers pack away decades’ worth of memories JESSE POUND @jesserpound

A jagged stack of cardboard boxes stands at the intersection of two stuffy bookcases in Joanna Rapf’s office, and despite one of the boxes being upside dow n, the 5-foot tower is one of the more orderly things in the cramped space. It ’ l l a l l b e g o n e s o o n enough. Rapf is retiring, and she won’t ever return to the office that’s been her home for more than two decades. “Mostly ever ything — I’ve forgotten all this stuff — and into the recycling bin it goes,” said Rapf, mentioning the fourth plastic container she has used in moving out, having already filled three to the brim with an entire career’s worth of miscellaneous paperwork. “It’s 42 years of stuff,” said Rapf. Rapf decided to retire last summer, much to the joy of her children. “My kids have been badgering me to retire for years,” Rapf said. What she didn’t know at the time of her decision was that her retirement would come with a financial bonus. Rapf is taking part of the Special Voluntary Retirement Incentive program OU created to shave costs in the face of a budget crisis. As of April 4, 146 faculty and staff had agreed to

participate in the program, far exceeding the university’s expectations. The retiring employees will receive a lump sum payment equal to 75 percent of their salary, with an upper limit of $100,000. Including Rapf, four of the retiring faculty members will come from the depar tment of English, though two of those will be allowed to continue fulltime through the spring of 2017. “We only have about 30 faculty, so to lose four is a lot,” Rapf said.

Except nobody to teach them at the for the introductory moment,” Rapf said. Hathaway said the unifilm course, my versity will put priority on other classes were finding ways to make sure pretty specialized students are able to get and there’s nobody classes they need. “Because the faculty poto teach them at the sitions are so linked immemoment.” diately with instructional needs of students, I think JOANNA RAPF, there will be a little bit more ENGLISH PROFESSOR ... attention paid to those,” Hathaway said. Rapf, who teaches film Alan Velie, one of the classes, said some of her professors scheduled to recourses will be eliminated tire in 2017, said he plans to

stay on in a part-time role to continue teaching his course on the Bible. Velie will be 80 at the time of his retirement, having worked at OU for 50 years. But he said he wouldn’t have retired without the financial incentive. “I might’ve hung on for another year,” Velie said. Ve l i e w a s a l r e a d y well-entrenched in Norman by the time Rapf arrived in 1974. “I loved Western movies, so I thought it would be fun to come to Oklahoma because I’d get to see cowboys and horses,” Rapf said. “And I got here, and there were no cowboys and horses.” Rapf’s love of movies did

lead her down a different path once she got to OU, as she changed her academic focus from romantic poetry to film. She said she helped start OU’s Film and Media Studies program, which will help serve students interested in film she will no longer be around to teach. “That’s a nice legacy to leave behind,” Rapf said. She said she doesn’t feel at all guilty about taking the incentivized retirement even though she was already planning on retiring. The retirements of Velie and Rapf alone will take away more than 90 years of experience from the university. Velie said he sees that as a loss of institutional knowledge. “There’s no choice really. The university had to do something because there’s such a fiscal crisis,” Velie said. “So if you can get professors who’ve been around and make a little more to retire, and you hire someone at less money or not replace them, you save quite a bit.” This institutional knowledge includes Rapf’s memories of different authors and people from the film industry that she helped bring to campus over the last four decades. Somewhere, she has a photograph of actor Buck Owens eating at Classic 50’s Drive-in, but she doesn’t see it anymore. “I’ve taken all my pictures off the wall,” Rapf said. Jesse Pound

Dean revving up for retirement Long-time faculty member takes love of racing with him MARY SMITH

@marysmitty21

At the end of this year, a dean will trade in his title for a ticket to Peru and time to do what he loves: ride motorcycles and travel. Graduate College Dean Lee Williams will retire after working at OU for 30 years and being dean for 17 years. Lee Williams will be on sabbatical for the next two years. He will be working to recruit graduate students from Peru and Colombia and teaching part time. After he spends a year or so in Peru, he will return to OU to teach a class about Inca hydrology and take the class to Peru over spring break in 2018, he said. After that, he is free to travel as he wishes. Born and raised in Wales, U.K., Lee Williams worked for the Voluntary Service Overseas in the Caribbean after he completed his undergraduate degree. While working overseas teaching high school math and science in Antigua, an island in the Car ibb ean, Williams met his wife, Naïla Williams, and together they returned to Europe so he could get his graduate degree. Their next stop was Oklahoma. “We came to Oklahoma first (in the United States), and if you have to go somewhere that’s friendly, then this is the place to go,” Naïla Williams said. His work took him from OU to the University of Kansas where he worked as a faculty member for nine years before OU called him back to the Sooner State, he said.

During his time at OU, he has been the associate dean of geosciences, vice president of research and dean of the Graduate College. As for his past, it is extensive. He grew up with two uncles who loved building and racing cars, which eventually rubbed off on him and resulted in him racing his own cars until his graduate years in college, he said. However, once he moved to the U.S., he found that road rallies weren’t very popular, so he started racing motocross and street motorcycles. Throughout the different periods of his life, Lee

NOTICE OF PUBLIC ACCESS

Williams’ racing career waxed and waned depending on his family life and career. But riding motorcycles was a passion that became beneficial to both his personal and professional life. During his time as vice president of research and dean of the Graduate College, Lee Williams often participated in cross-countr y races in O klahoma, where he wasn’t recognized as a college dean, he said. “For the longest while, nobody knew what you did, and that’s how we liked it; it was all for the fun of riding,” Williams said of relating with the others who raced with him. “It’s a great release.” He occasionally got injured, too. Once, he had to attend an impor tant function on behalf of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in Washington D.C. right after he broke his hand in a race. Despite instructions to not reveal how he broke his hand to congressmen and other government officials, Williams did so anyway. He found he could connect with others based on their common interest in motorcycles, he said. “If you have another side

and you’re doing other things, you’ve got more opportunity to demystify the position you’re in,” Williams said. “People relate to human experiences … if you’re trying to set up a business relationship with someone, share a human experience with them.” Connecting with others on a personal level has been important to him and is something he does naturally, said Tim Davidson, Williams’ friend and an OU human relations professor. They became fast friends after meeting in 2000 and h av e t a k e n m a n y t r i p s together across North America, Davidson said. “He and I share a common love of adventure,” Davidson said. “It’s a balancing life issue … sometimes you need a change of pace, and being on a motorcycle definitely does that for you.” They have traveled countless miles together, from the frigid Rocky Mountains to the blazing heat of Mexico. Sometimes they travel with other groups, Davidson said. Regardless, it’s the journey that they ride for, not always the destination, he said.

Lee and Naïla Williams have already made travel plans for the next couple of years, she said, that could land them in Peru, Alaska and Costa Rica. Lee Williams will travel around Peru by motorcycle after this school year as he works to meet potential students, he said. He’s already made plans to compete in a Dakar Rally in the Andes Mountain in August, and if Davidson can find the time, he hopes to join Williams in his upcoming travels. Wherever he goes and whatever he will do, Williams shows no signs of switching vehicles because riding motorcycles has always been a part of who he is, Naïla Williams said. “I cannot see him winding down. I don’t think that’s ever going to happen,” Davidson said. “We got to do that to keep the bugs in our teeth while we’re still smiling, because that’s the good protein (we need).” Mary Smith

The long-questioned, vacant building standing tall on the south end of Campus Corner on White Street is soon to be a Neapolitanstyle pizzeria called Volare. A Neapolitan, wood-fire, brick oven from Italy will serve as the restaurant’s focal point. It will be accessible to customers by way of a completely open kitchen and a mezzanine on the second floor that will overlook the kitchen and bar area. The restaurant will feature two bars, one on the ground floor and one on the rooftop, and will be open until 2 a.m. every day. Anthony Compagni and Pete Wilson are just two partners of an team that will own and operate the business. Wilson is the owner of Top of the World, a collegiate hat company, and Norman’s Benvenuti’s Ristorante. Compagni is the head chef at Benvenuti’s, but he plans to move to Volare when it opens. Compagni said his team has not set a firm timetable because it’s not on a deadline to open, but they want to be ready for business by the beginning of football

Volare will ultimately have a leg up in that department. “We feel like nothing is better than a wood-fire brick oven,” he said. Compagni said there was a desire on campus to have “fresh, clean, great food at a Campus Corner price.” He said that is exactly what Volare is going to offer, and that its “unique” oven will help that. “We’re bringing the same philosophy that we have at Benvenuti’s — making everything from scratch and by hand and using the best ingredients and doing it all at an affordable price … We think that is what will make us successful,” he said. Ali said people are worried about parking on Campus Corner with the new restaurant opening up, but said the city is discussing plans to build a parking garage where the parking lot of the First Presbyterian Church is to help ease that concern. Pritz said the parking garage would be paid for largely by a property tax o n t h e Ca mpu s C o r n e r merchants.

The iconic area is already home to Crooked Crust, New York Pizza & Pasta and Hideaway Pizza, which is just counting the pizza shops between University B ou l e va rd a n d Je n k i n s Avenue. “The market right now is oversaturated on pizza, however … I don’t think it will hurt (business) too m u c h l o n g - t e r m,” s a i d Mark Pritz, treasurer for Campus Corner Merchants Association and manager at New York Pizza & Pasta. Pritz said Volare’s opening will “probably hurt at first,” as customers flock to the new restaurant to see what it’s all about, but said he thinks all of the pizza shops are so different that there will continue to be a good customer base for each of them. Michael Carango, a cook at Crooked Crust, said “it’ll even itself out” in the long run because he expects Volare’s pizza to be different from Crooked Crust’s, which is also different from Hideaway’s and New York Pizza & Pasta’s. “I think it all just comes down to what kind of pizza they want,” Carango said.

Former Scottish minister has harsh words about U.S. politics McLeish thinks current campaign has “hit a new low� TANNER OSBORNE @tannerosbear

Since his first visit to Oklahoma in 1988, former First Minister of Scotland Henry McLeish has made around 50 trips back to the state and maintained strong political connections to the area. When it comes to current political trends in the U.S., McLeish said he does not like what he sees. “The presidential campaign seems to have hit a new low,� McLeish said. McLeish’s most recent visit to Oklahoma was in April, when he delivered a speech for the Josh Lee lecture series at OU. McLeish spoke about the worries he has concerning U.S. and global politics, with a heavy emphasis on what he considers the negative and growing influences of

populism. “The western world’s governance and politics are at risk,� McLeish said. McLeish said there is now a massive disillusionment in politics for voters in the U.S. The disillusionment, he said, stems from a lack of political willingness to serve for the people and by the people, as well as a trend of “obscene amounts of finances in politics.� This “for the people, by the people� idea came up through several references McLeish made to former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, who he said embodied the true ideals of U.S. politics and was maybe the last time the people were actually represented by the American government. McLeish said U.S. elections are simply for politicians to get elected, not to represent their constituent base. The other factor to which McLeish accredits the mass disillusionment is the amount of money used in U.S. politics.

McLeish said the U.S. Congress needs to take a serious look as the “floodgates� of money he said have been let open on the political system in America. McLeish said there needs to be no more excessive campaign financing in U.S. politics, and he questioned who was really financing political campaigns, naming groups such as the politically influential Koch brothers. McLeish said money, in correspondence with growing populist ideals, has led to a voter base that is angry and discouraged, and that loud individuals like presidential candidate Donald Trump are profiting by bringing them back in. “What kind of system is it that has 65 percent of their citizens not voting?� McLeish asked. Keith Gaddie, Political science professor and departmental chair said that overall, with the exception of a few economic issues, things in American politics are going well, but with a 15-plus-year

war in the Middle East and a polarized government, voters are discouraged. For many of the same reasons, McLeish referred to the current U.S. presidential election as a “traveling circus� and said it often seems to be more a spectacle rather than a political event. He then commented that he was only joking and explained that he feels Americans often do not get ironic comedy.

HENRY MCLEISH McLeish compared the two political efforts of presidential candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders and said both are running populist campaigns.

Gaddie said there are two kinds of populism in America: a “southern� brand of populism that is very against big government, big business or big anything that he said Trump is running on, and “prairie� populism, which is the anti-Wall Street and anti-banks platform he said Bernie Sanders is running on. Populism, Gaddie said, is a push back from the people against the elite led by a strong man with simple words, something he said Trump does well. McLeish said candidates like Trump want and profit from a more constrained voter base. Gaddie said traditionally, a constrained electorate has benefited conservative politics, and liberals often fundamentally oppose limiting voter turnout. “It’s in their DNA,� Gaddie said. McLeish said it is not just the U.S. that he worries about, and that things are “not all rosy� in the European Union

or the United Kingdom. “Populism is spreading,� McLeish said. McLeish said the EU does not suffer from the same hateful dialogue in its politics that the U.S. does, but that he sees a lighter, less aggressive strain of voter disillusionment there as well. McLeish also had positive opinions on U.S. politics and said he believes America can be more than it is now. McLeish loves a lot of “American ideals,� but he said he believes strongly that government needs to be put back in the hands of the people and that money cannot come first in a democracy. Democracy, McLeish said, is the “least worst option,� and needs time to mature and grow even today. “Democracy likes nuance,� McLeish said, adding that little changes can make a big difference.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said Wednesday she supports Republican Donald Trump “100 percent� and offered her enthusiastic endorsement of the New York billionaire in his bid for the presidency. The two-term governor, who had been mum on her pick for president, said her priority is to elect a conservative, pro-business Republican who is strong on national defense, and that she believes Trump is that candidate. “I know that our nation wants a change,� Fallin said. “Donald Trump has led a movement across our nation that will cause that change to happen, so I’m 100 percent behind him.� Fallin also said she was honored to be discussed as a potential vice presidential candidate alongside Trump, although she said neither Trump nor anyone from his campaign had approached her about the possibility. “It’s a great honor just to be

mentioned,� said Fallin, a former state legislator, three-term lieutenant governor and twoterm U.S. member. “My first and foremost goal right now is to finish our legislative session, but if I were to receive a call that said: ‘I need you to help make America great again,’ I’d be happy to take that call.� Fallin’s endorsement comes a day after Trump’s resounding primary win in Indiana that led to his top two opponents, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, dropping out of the race, giving Trump a clear path to the GOP nomination. Oklahoma’s senior U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, who had previously endorsed Marco Rubio, also said Wednesday that he would vote for Trump if he is the Republican nominee. “The choice is now Trump or Clinton and I am in the anyone but Clinton camp,� Inhofe said in a statement. Cruz won Oklahoma’s March GOP presidential primary election with 34 percent of the vote, six points above second-place Trump. Rubio finished third with 26 percent.

Art festival hits Campus Corner Event to showcase vendors, dancers, 300 student pieces JESSICA BARBER @JessicaDylan16

NOOR EEMAAN/THE DAILY

The first ever Arts on the Corner festival will debut Saturday on Campus Corner.

The Campus Corner Association will host its first Arts on the Corner festival Saturday, with the intention of creating an annual event for all ages. The arts festival will include visual art tents and performing arts stages along Buchanan Avenue. The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art will also have a booth set up with visual art activities for visitors of all ages to create whatever their hearts desire. Erin Patton, executive director of the Campus Corner Association said, the Arts on the Corner event started as a way to fill a void left by the absence of the Dustbowl Arts Market, an arts fair with local artists and vendors, since 2013. “We put together this event to help fill that void and

provide the community with another arts festival in our unique district area,� Patton said. The Campus Corner Association will open the streets for performances by acoustic musicians to play around Campus Corner throughout the festival. This year, there will be 10 art vendors set up on the street selling their work and 12 performing artists ranging from dancers to indie musicians. Performing artists will include Bet U Can Move Like This Amateur Youth and Adult Dance Troupe and Oklahoma City indie-folk artist Stephen Salewon, Patton said. “ We’ l l have a l m o s t 300 pieces of work from Norman Public Schools’ and Washington Public Schools’ elementar y and middle school students in all different mediums,� Patton said. Not only can visitors buy art and watch performances, they can also create their own work.

“In the festival area for the kids, we’ll have chalk art, face painting and around the festival area there will also be acoustic musicians set up on the sidewalk playing,� Patton said. Parking will not be an issue, as the Campus Corner Association partnered with surrounding churches to provide 600 free parking spaces, Patton said. There will also be VIP parking for bike riders on Buchanan Avenue. The event is free and open to the public to benefit the Norman Public Schools’ art foundation, Patton said. “We’re purchasing art carts for them, and we’re hoping to get at least three. If we could get four that would be great, but they’re about $800 a piece,� Patton said. “They’re utility carts that art teachers can push into a classroom and teach an art lesson for the day, and it has everything they need to teach the lesson.� Jessica Barber

Fine arts students promote dialogue with performance CHLOE MOORES @chloemoores13

OU fine arts students and the diversity and inclusion task force collaborated on a two-minute performance called “Choosing Love� in the Oklahoma Memorial Union food court Wednesday afternoon. Donovan Session, a acting junior, said the performance was inspired by the Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Ruined� by Lynn Nottage. Like in “Ruined,� the students wanted to show how someone can find love in the most adverse circumstances. The ultimate goal of the performance was to create a message of diversity and inclusivity within the fine arts departments, Session said. “We hope the outcome (show) that all the schools within the fine arts can work together, and the minority population is still prevalent,� he said. “We can still put up good work without being a side character.� “Choosing Love� included one student from each department of the College of Fine Arts: drama, musical theatre, music, dance and art. The students have been

rehearsing for a month, but the idea has been in place since the beginning of the semester, Session said. Session said he believes the atmosphere on OU’s campus and throughout the country is promoting a dialogue that specifically addresses the minority population. “There are still going to be adversities, and there are going to be more challenges for us than other people, but we can create a path for ourselves as well,� he said. Session said the students hope to do similar performances at least twice a semester in the future and include more than one student from each fine arts department. “We plan to have it bigger and better to do this beautiful and immaculate project next year and years to come,� he said. margaret.c.moores-1@ ou.edu

Houston mayor predicts big loss for Sooners in 2016 opener, says Cougars will look for ‘stiffer competition’ Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, a University of Houston graduate, didn’t hold back when asked about the Cougars’ chances against Oklahoma when they’ll kick off the 2016 season at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. “We’ll win that one easily then move on,” Turner said in the spring 2016 issue of the University of Houston Magazine. “In this first game, I think we’ll win by 14 or possibly 21 points. Then, we’ll look for some stiffer competition.” The answer was prompted by the magazine asking Turner whether or not he has tickets for the 2016 season as the Cougars are coming off a successful 2015 campaign that saw the team beat Florida State 38-24 in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta. The Cougars and Sooners will face off on Sept. 3 in the “Texas Kickoff ” to start the season. Oklahoma is 2-0 all time against Houston with wins in 1981 and 2004. PROVIDED BY SOONER SPORTS

Kruger announces new addition to staff Rice assistant to join Sooner bench next season TRENT CRABTREE @TrentCrabtree

After losing two of his longtime assistant coaches to head coaching jobs during the week of the Final Four, Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger continues to rebuild his coaching staff this offseason. Wednesday, CBS’s Jon Rothstein reported that Kruger has added Rice assistant coach Carlin Hartman to his staff. Kruger hired his son, Kevin, on April 13 to fill the other open assistant spot. “We are very pleased to welcome Carlin, his wife Christine and family to Oklahoma,” Kruger said in a press release. “Carlin’s experience and success everywhere he has been is well-documented. He will do a terrific job, and we are excited for

him to get started in Norman.” Hartman has never been a head coach but does have an extensive assistant coaching background going back to 1996. Since then, he has served as a player developer for several programs, which included coaching three of the top 11 scorers in program history at Richmond. Hartman helped coach Rice to a 12-20 record in each of the past two seasons. Hartman was also on Columbia’s staff for four seasons and helped lead the Lions to a 63-57 record over that span. The Sooners’ new coach has also served as an assistant at James Madison, Centenary, Richmond, LouisianaLafayette and McNeese State. Hartman played his college ball at Tulane from 1990 to 1994, finishing his career with the No. 3 field goal percentage (.528) in program history. He also helped lead the Green Wave to a pair of NCAA

Departing Sooners Hield and Cousins invited to NBA Combine ahead of June draft Former Oklahoma guards Buddy Hield and Isaiah Cousins are two of about 70 invitees to the 2016 NBA Combine in Chicago, per ESPN’s Jeff Goodman. The 2016 NBA Combine will be held May 11 through May 15. The list of combine invitees — and alternates — includes 13 2016 NCAA All-Americans and guard Josh Hart, the sole representative of the 2016 national champion Villanova Wildcats. Hield finished his career as a two-time Big 12 Player of the Year winner and the recipient of the 2016 Wooden and Naismith Awards. In April, Hield signed with Landmark Sports agent Rob Pelinka, who BUDDY HIELD also represents NBA players Kobe Bryant and James Harden. Isaiah Cousins was also invited after filing career highs in scoring, assists and steals as a senior. The 6-foot-4-inch guard has shot above 40 percent from three in his last three seasons. The NBA Draft Lottery is on May 17 with the 2016 NBA Draft on June 23.

Tournament appearances. Ha r t ma n j o i n s Ke v i n Kruger as new additions to the Sooners’ coaching staff. Kruger and Hartman replace Lew Hill and Steve Henson, who both left the program for head coaching vacancies at other schools. Oklahoma is coming off one of its best seasons in recent memory. The Sooners made their first trip to the Final Four since 2002, and guard Buddy Hield took home multiple National Player of the Year awards. “I am honored to work with a hall-of-fame coach, Lon Kruger, at such a prestigious university like the University of Oklahoma,” Hartman said in a press release. “I look forward to building on last year’s Final Four run and mentoring the program in any way possible.”
