I don't have direct quotes, but from a fan recap at SoonerScoop.com, I share the following:
Capel spoke first and spent some time talking about last year's accomplishments (30 game season, Naismith winner, "one concussion away from being ranked number one") and quite a bit of time about what a joy it had been to coach Blake. Very nice. He talked about going to NY in a couple of weeks to be there when Blake is drafted number one. He said Austin Johnson has signed a very nice contract to play overseas in Serbia (I think it was Serbia but maybe not). Omar Leary is trying to land something overseas. Taylor has had LOTS of tryouts for the NBA - he mentioned several teams besides the Thunder - and said he has VERY lucrative offers to play overseas. He said there is a chance Taylor will get drafted in the second round.
He talked about Tiny and Tommy and the other kids coming in for next year. He was definitely excited about the team and very proud of getting his third and fourth McDonald's all-americans on campus. Said Tiny's hands were fantastic. Also talked about the other players. Said Pledger was maybe the best shooter he had EVER seen - including his time at Duke. You can tell he really likes this class.
How does that make you feel???
