Class of 2014

[CoachTalk]

I know plenty. I also know Omega will not be getting a Kansas offer. OU will most likely be the only Big 12 school to offer.

Yeah right. Troll on my Friend.

 

[londyh]

Bashing? I am stating his talent level isn't Big 12. That isn't bashing, it is just simple fact.

He would be great at Wichita State, etc. We just need to upgrade our recruiting or risk falling to the lower half of the conference talent wise.

So u say again if you know for a fact show and prove and you are definitely bashing you called a kid that has been starting in 6A since his freshman yr.a role player. Show and prove is what I ask you to do. You said you knew! Because if that's the case you should be a college coach if you are then again show and prove.

 

[Max Power]

We should be getting at least one legitimate high end player per class. So far we haven't really gotten any.

We got Buddy Hield and he chose us over Kansas.

 

[BigTime]

I'm excited about Jacob Hammond. I think he will end up being a good one in Kruger's system.

Gotta love message boards, it gives those who have no voice elsewhere the opportunity to give their opinions. Those with a voice that actually matter are those who are actively and enthusiastically pursuing Omega Harris.

I'd like to see your resume'. What have you done lately? Did you ask O to play for you and he declined? Did he dog your team out on the bball court? If he did, it wasnt personal.

I'm thinking that the guy is an OSU troll...just read his posting history.

Omega would look good in the Crimson and Cream. Hope Kruger lands him.

Dont worry about it, what I love about O is no one has seen his true athletic ability. He holds back to keep his teammates in the game and he pulls their level of play up. I cant wait for everyone to see him playing with and against athletes on his level. No holding back. #beast.

Love people like this guy, everyone reading can see the obvious.

Explain that to me. Why "should" we be getting anyone? College Basketball is a cesspool and recruiting is a sleazy business.

Kruger gets the best kids he can get and he does it the only way he knows how. The right way.

How is it you expect high end kids, without any other inducement, to come play for a loser. Oklahma is a good place with a decent basketball tradition. Kruger has a recruiting budget that allows him to be competitive.

But, OU will have to right the ship and start winning consistantly to start catching the interest of the high enders again. This season was a good 1st step in that direction.

Well spoken

We have a losing record in year 1, just make the NCAA tourney as a low seed in year 2, and now we're Kentucky? Be patient. We are on a good track. He is still cleaning up this roster and changing mindsets. These things don't change overnight. Kruger has this basketball thing figured out, I reckon...

EXACTLY. I have no doubt that Kruger can and will recruit at an appropriately high level in two years' time - appropriate to a program rehabbing its image and exiting NCAA sanctions - but 2014 may be a class built with an eye to the future. With Tum Tum Nairn and Shake Milton available in 2015, Lon could justifiably pick pieces who project well with those guys, who can contribute as frosh, and still be impact players with big talent around them. Omega may be a streak-shooting combo guard with some athletic upside, but doesn't that basically describe the frosh class that's helped us probably return to the Big Dance for the first time in 3 yrs? Pair an athletic slasher with a scoring true PG in Woodard and two physical bigs in Spangler and Hammond (plus a plus shooter if Booker comes on down) and in three years, this team could earn a top-5 AP ranking. I doubt many, if any, of Lon's recruits harbor the delusion / belief that they are one-and-dones. And that means we have the luxury of depth and development that patience within a roster provides.

I sure wouldn't recruit in 2013 based on a hope I got someone in 2014. That sounds like Jeffrey Fenton Capel logic to me. Build the team you have. These are 16/17 year old kids. They can and will change their minds in an instant.

Denver, I think the important difference is that Lon goes after kids who can play at a high level PERIOD versus role player-types who compliment the Harrison Barneses and unicorns of future recruiting classes built on wishful thinking. Would Hornbeak look better as an off-guard? Probably. But could he succeed without a Jordan Woodard? Definitely. Lon has shown ample pragmatism recruiting over four decades
now. Jeff Caple did not; he is no longer a head coach. No accident, there.

Yes, exactly Kruger recruits kids that can play at a high level. While some of say O is a combo guard, shooting guard, pg, Slasher, I guess that means the kid can flat out play, and that's what counts. I hope he plays gets a degree and is happy!
