NORMAN — Matt Ray left his dorm room on the way to play pick-up basketball one day a few years back, and to his surprise, there were several unfamiliar faces in the hallway.

A mom and a dad, Ray figured, with a college-aged kid moving in two doors down.

The dorm's resident assistant introduced Ray to the new guy.

“His name's Bake,” the RA said.
