They finished their season undefeated. There is a reason they are recognized as one of the best teams in the country. With Johnson and Green they are hard to handle.

Cathy Self has been doing that for years. One of the best high school coaches in the country. Has always produced quality players.

Just lucky they didn't have to face the best HS player in the past 30 or 40 years - Lauren Cox. They would certainly have lost that game.

They have an open campus. So kids from all over the Dallas area are allowed to enroll and play there.

Ciera Johnson's mom is an OU alum...if what one of her coaches told me is true. And none of our coaching staff could even get her to "consider" OU.

She came to OU on an unofficial visit with her family. She must have "considered" OU or they would not have visited on their own dime.

"Considered" in recruiting terms typically relates to schools where the student-athlete takes an official visit and informs scouts/media of their interest. Clearly the "unofficial" didn't warrant an "official"...which is my point. That makes it worse in my book! One of the problems I've mentioned for years. They get the great players on campus to visit and can't close the deal.

Then again, for all we know...they may have been on a family trip and was just showing the kids where mom went to school. Looks like that was the result.

lol, I understand your point, but assure you it was not a family trip. My daughter was there too and they are some really nice people. Having gone through the recruiting process, I believe an "official" visit can't take place until your senior year. I think she was a junior at the time. I personally never took an "unofficial" visit to a school I was not interested in possibly attending.

Let's hope they close the deal on the girls they are recruiting today.

A bit of talk out there that Jeff Walz might be looked at for the Tennessee job if they hand Holly her walking papers... If he leaves Louisville maybe Johnson can switch to OU...
