Not trying to pile on Capel, but he said something going back to last year, and said it multiple times, and I always wondered what he meant. He said more than once, "Blake Griffin made it 'cool' to come to OU" referring to getting good players in recruiting. My question is, even with our very good basketball tradition, was it ever "uncool" to come to OU before we lucked out and had Blake Griffin in our backyard? Is that how Capel looked at it, or is that how it really is to recruits? Didnt we get good players before Griffin? Just sometimes wondered if that was a recruiting excuse. There have been times when it's been VERY COOL to come to play basketball at OU. I mean, we just had a terrible season win/loss, but we have good facilities, tradition, etc. Why would he make that quote?
