Are you serious? The kid begged for an OU offer. He came out and said OU was his dream school and said if OU offered they would be at the top of his list. Here is his exact quote: “I think Oklahoma is great,” said Scott. “I am looking at them real hard. They have not offered me yet, but they have told me that they are interested. Coach (Mark) Cline is recruiting me and he is a real good guy. If Oklahoma offers me, they will move up to the top of my list or around the top of my list." So now the kid gets an offer from OU and he's trimmed his list to OU, Arkansas, and Marquette. Only way he doesn't go to OU is if OU chooses someone else.
Scott said this about Arkansas today.. "They showed me a lot of love," Scott said. "I liked that about them. They showed me a lot of love. They put guards in the NBA, and I really like that. I like the (Bud Walton) Arena. They told me each game it's packed. I really like that."
His coach said this about Tech the other day... ""At this point, he's saying that he's taking all five visits. Texas Tech said that they're going to be one of the first ones but he has not up a date. The only date that's been set is with Arkansas, Sept 18-19."
He said this the other day as well before he want to the Arkansas camp... "I believe Marquette and Missouri for sure and Oklahoma."
His recruiting appears to be wide open to me. Again, I hope OU does get him. I would rather have 4 years of Rickey Scott than a good juco player, but he seems wide open right now.
That offer list is garbage!!!!! One team has made the NCAA in the last three years out of that pathetic group of teams. I'd rather be recruiting against Marquette and Western Kentucky than those also rans. There isn't a conference in America that Colorado would have a chance of winning.
Thats an impressive offer list this early for a juco player.. Juco players tend to get their big offers in the late period.
And this year Colorado got players over Arizona, Gonzaga, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Kansas State, Oregon State, Fresno State, and Washington State... So lets not act like Bzdelik isnt doing a good job in recruiting. They had an outstanding class for a team that went 1-15.
Yeah, I did name 17 guys and could have named 20. In the past we may have been in on about 6 or seven....LOL. What's really LOL is you think OU isn't capable of signing some of these guys.
I said OU will sign one or two of them. That leaves 3 more scholarships. If OU signs one or two of those guys it would be another top 10 class with another MCDAA. You really think OU is going to and 4 or 5 of those top 50 players?
Of course it looks overly promising now, because these guys are listing 5-10 schools and OU is one of them. Once they start taking visits and trimming lists OU will end up with one or two of them, and have 2 or 3 more scholarships to fill.
Typically when you do you analysis it never reflects what actually happening on the ground in recruiting but some fantasy class in your mind that often includes a guy OU is not interested in.
The juco point guard was an example, and I said that. I then reminded you last post that he was an example. Why are you hung up on this? Now I am saying again that he was just an example. I knew of the guy because Tulsa and Colorado were recruiting him, I didnt go searching around for a juco point guard at random.
Yeah, I did name 17 guys and could have named 20.
Yea, and at this point in the year most schools can name 20 guys that mention their school during an interview. Thats because most of these guys havent even taken visits yet and have no idea where they are going.
Can't take it up with him because I don't have his cell number. Plus I'm not going to take anything up with this guy.
Why not? He is actively recruiting two junior college players (Robert Goff who is supposed to visit in the fall) and JP Olukemi who we know he is contact with and offered. You are being a baby and making a huge deal about me listing jucos, but Capel is the one recruiting them.
jcapel@ou.edu
Let him know that you expect to sign 6 top 50 players because 20 guys are mentioned OU in interviews. Go ahead.
OU will sign a minimum of 5 guys and you compiled another horrible recruiting list the lacked one of the key components of the recruiting class. Typically when you do you analysis it never reflects what actually happening on the ground in recruiting but some fantasy class in your mind that often includes a guy OU is not interested in.
Since Durant was an example and have listed that a couple of times now, are you saying you would be upset if Capel signed a juco point guard, a juco wing, TJ Taylor, Cameron Clark, and two big guys with one of them being a player like Cobbins?
