I am with Nick. Nothing will change if Capel brings in Terrence Jones and Terrence Ross. Those are two more "me first" type of guys that have been coddled throughout the recruiting process. Jones showed little to no defense and rebounding in the two games that I have watched him play.
We need JUCO bigs and prep bigs that want to be Sooners first and foremost. Guys that are mentally tough, that can rebound, that can defend, and that can catch passes from TMG. Aziz N'Diaye is obviously a guy that could fit the above criteria, but I want at least 3 bigs (4 if Tiny doesn't come back) to ensure that we can find one or two that can really help us next year. If that means that Kyle Hardrick and Ray Willis go somewhere else to play basketball so that we can have the correct number of ships, then so be it.
I also think it is important to get a defensive minded wing/combo guard. Tony Smith or Juwanza Poland seem like good possible fits to me.
This last half of the 2010 recruiting class is imo the most important class of Capel's young career at Oklahoma.
IF he doesn't find the right type of guys to build around TMG, Tiny, and Cam, then we will see no improvement next year.
I feel for Coach Capel because it is slim pickings out there due to the fact that most guys have already signed/committed, but on the other hand, he put himself in this position by chasing pipe dreams like Harrison Barnes instead of landing a guy like Keith Davis, Tobi Oyedeji, or Michael Cobbins. OU could have had all three of these players from the Texas area. Oyedeji would be just what the doctor ordered to start next to Tiny next year imo.
I feel like we are really coming to a crossroads next year regarding OU basketball....
