NORMAN — Buddy Hield is ready to make his decision known.
What that decision is remains to be seen.
Hield, the Big 12 Player of the Year last season as he led Oklahoma to the Sweet 16, will announce at a press conference Friday morning whether he’ll return to OU or skip his senior season to enter the NBA Draft.
The deadline for NBA early-entry decisions is 10:59 Sunday night.
Right after the season ended, Hield said he would take his time.
“It’s all about patience,” Hield said then. “Whatever I decide, whatever I go with, I’m just going to be careful.
