Capel will be on the Animal at 6 PM Today

[Sam]

Will be interesting to hear his thoughts on Newell and Ahmed, assuming Al doesn't ask too many Thunder questions.

 

[One More Rebound]

"So Jeff, tell me, was Genghis Khan a nice man or not?" :facepalm

 

[Tony]

For some reason, I think One More Rebound's sig is intended explicitly for me...

 

[Sam]

"Jeff have you thought about recruiting Cuba or Dubai?"

 

[Capel's Mustache]

"Jeff you ever had radishes with your beer"

 

[One More Rebound]

"Jeff, how many German brewskies could Albert Einstein drink?" :facepalm

 

[Mr.B!!!]

Jeff, have you ever heard of Bridget the Midget?

 

[One More Rebound]

Some interesting stuff on the interview. Jeff says he had a top prospect all but committed, but lost him due to negative recruiting tactics...

Not surprising as I heard a bunch of that was going on, wonder who it was?

I hope this clears up the Coach Cline "rats leaving a sinking ship" crap.

 

[dubyac]

for those that missed the interview... can we get a recap???

If I know Sam, he is putting together one right now...

Jones would be my guess since he basically had it down to OU/KY a few weeks ago. But that's a 100% guess.

 

[Tony]

I'm guessing it was Marquis Carter, but who knows.

Some real hard-hitting questions in that interview...

 

[Mr.B!!!]

First time I wasn't blown away by Capel, the "knowing everything" part kind of bugged me.

 

[One More Rebound]

To Al's credit, he asked the tough Mark Cline question, and to Jeff's credit, he answered the question head on.

 

[CoachTalk]

THought JC was great. He was calm, answered everything well.
Couple things that stood out to me...
1. Recruit that got away... I really was wanting him to name names... (maybe comes out later.
2. Admitted mistakes along the way...
3. Cline left for family reasons, not bc of NCAA or whatever....
4. Went straight to work after the season was over... Knew WW, TMG were leaving and figured Tiny was gone...
5. Were in on a lot of these kids before the ship U-turned and went the wrong way.
6. Got in late on CJ and Ahmed
7. Every mans Fantasy Camp.. 30 and over... with BG, TG, EdNa, Alvin Adams, Tubbs... etc...

Hope that helps I didnt have a pen and paper handy, I was headed home from the grocery store... To bad I'm 24, or I would be all over the Fantasy Camp...

OK. So please help me out on the rumors thingy Jeff posted on twitter. What was the rumors that everyone was worried about and were they true? BTW, where is Faithful?

 

[cvangild]

I think the "recruit that got away" that Capel was referring to was Jowanza Poland. Poland had all but publicly commit to the Sooners and looks like he had told the coaching staff that he was coming...but right after the NC game..things changed. Capel said a school he would not name kept sending this recruit tons of negative articles about the OU b-ball situation. Looks like all this negative media crap talk can hurt our chances with recruits.

If it wasn't Poland my second guess would be Carter. So either Stan Heath or Mark Few can kiss my you know what.
