Capel to speak about OU basketball situation today at 2:30

[r2b1]

I think you could substitute all his "them guys" for "me/I" and that would fit too....

 

[JBaker]

When referring to who we have here, Jeff said, "We have a senior and three sophomores."

Doesn't sound like he is counting Tiny.

Wouldn't that be Cade, Fitz, Pledger and Tiny?

 

[Big Old Booger]

Wouldn't that be Cade, Fitz, Pledger and Tiny?

At first he said "a senior and 2 sophomores", then he said "a senior and 3 sophomores".

Obviously, the 2 sophs are Pledger and Fitz. Is the 3rd soph he forgot Hardrick or Tiny?

 

[T_Neal's Twitter]

Maybe coach forgot about Hardrick....

 

[soonerbms]

This press conference all but confirms that Tiny is gone. We aren't going to win 8 ****ing games unless we add more players! We desperately need to add at least three recruits.

PG - T.J. Taylor
SG - Stephen Pledger, Tyler Neal
SF - Cade Davis, Cam Clark
PF - Andrew Fitzgerald
C - ?

We will have six scholarship players on the roster next year unless we add some players. I really wish Ray Willis and Orlando Allen had stayed with the program. Both those guys could have been in line for some major minutes next year.

 

[MercedeSooner]

"Dont have a PG or C on the roster right now."

 

[MercedeSooner]

Everything he is saying sounds like Tiny is gone.

 

[NickZepp]

Everything he is saying sounds like Tiny is gone.

I know. He basically said the roster is 1 senior and 3 sophomores.

 

[soonerbms]

Everything he is saying sounds like Tiny is gone.

Agreed. We better go get at least two serviceable bigs in recruiting.

 

[Tony]

"You don't hear people criticize Dakota Fanning."

All-righty then.

 

[MercedeSooner]

Reporter - "Jeff is there any reason why you haven't had a press conference until now ?"

Capel - "we've never had a press conference after the year" "didnt think we needed it"

Come on Coach...

 

[Tony]

...and we're done. No new news except the Tyler Neal signing is official. Sounds like Tiny is gone.

 

[afaSooner]

Well what do you think?

 

[seniorsooner]

Board meltdown! lol

 

[red recluse]

i think capel believes tiny won't be here next year because of the draft more than the hausinger situation. at least that's what their convo tiny mentioned on twitter leads me to believe. we'll know may 8 if he keeps his name in.

Come on Coach...

wow, how do you not think you need one! I am not sure what to think about capel anymore....lol like come on

I dunno how I should feel but I am uneasy with capel at the helm..

 

[colston15]

Why did we even need this press conference? Did we learn anything new? Did we hear anything we thought we woudn't? No and no.

Nothing came from today's Q&A except the predictable coach speak, "We're excited for next year" and "The guys are really working hard" (All 4 of them)

We'll know where we stand a month from now, and we won't need Coach Capel to tell us. Once the roster is finalized we'll know, for better or for worse, where we are.

 

[seniorsooner]

Well to play Devil's advocate, he did say that he's been working and that he doesn't sit around reading message boards. Do I think he needed to do this before now? Probably. Do I find it absolutely egregious that he didn't? No. I'd rather him be recruiting than having press conferences. Not that his recruiting efforts have done much for us (yet).

 

[Tony]

Really think it is lame that he talks so derisively about message boards. Pretty lazy and weak crutch IMO.
