NORMAN — Larry From the Prairie is no more.
Oklahoma sophomore forward Brady Manek ditched his Larry Bird-like haircut this week and is back to the buzz cut he formerly sported.
"Needed something new to happen and decided might as well cut the hair," Manek said Thursday. "I've been wanting to for a long time."
The move caught everyone off guard.
"I was surprised," coach Lon Kruger said. "He came to practice the next day and it was gone."
Manek, who had worn a buzz cut his whole life, started to grow out his hair in the offseason.
