I watched Udoh play in high school on three occasions, but I never dreamed he would be this good. Apparently, OU's coaches didn't either. I don't recall them focusing much of their attention on recruiting him. Am I remembering that correctly?

Yeah, watched Sante Fe play a couple of times and he never really stood out. I mean, he looked like a nice player but I never thought about us making a run. Watched him a couple times a Michigan too and he never really stood out. Then when the stories came out that we were looking at taking him as a transfer I never really got excited about it.
Ouch, was I wrong. Kid is an absolute beast now and it will be interesting to see how Tiny does against him (if he ever gets the ball inside). I bet we set more of Willie taking it up against Udoh than Tiny.
I hope we get a story this week on why he picked Baylor over us. Would be interesting to know just how serious we were about taking him. What a program-changing recruiting loss this is turning out to be for us.
