Yes this isnt good that our whole team appears to be jumping ship. Its too bad that we are losing so much talent by potentially losing our top 3. It is understandable that people are going crazy about losing tmg, ww, tiny, BUT do we REALLY want these guys back? I say no! If they arent willing to work hard, play defense, play as a team, and put in the necessary effort to be a good team i say.."heres the door." i understand that this hurts and its making our future not look so bright, but if capel plays this smart we will be just fine.

If guys like ray(already gone according to fbk), allen, hardrick, whoever leave that shouldnt worry us either. Yeah it makes next years team rly thin but those guys(no offense to them), they are not big 12 caliber players. I hope allen doesnt leave bc i think he can contribute and hes a senior anyways so we will get his scholly back this yr. i think if he is gone it will be bc capel doesnt want him back. If capel doesnt want him back then neither do i. i think capel is a good guy and isnt out to get ppl; if capel takes away allens scholly then it IS bc he isnt willing to work hard and get in shape. It wont be talent based.

Now here is where capel NEEDS to be smart or he wont have a job for long. He needs to only offer ppl that can play big 12 basketball, willing to work, and not primadonas. He most def cannot sign ppl just to fill out our roster. Even if only sign 3 more good guys that is better than 3 good guys and 4 scrubs that will play only by default. If capel gets players like that then our future is gone for at least the next four years. Its the late signing period so we cannot expect to get a bunch of good players. We might suffer through next year with only 6 or 7 scholarship players but we will have plenty of time to sign ppl in next yrs class that can contribute. I am in no way saying,though, that if we can get 7 guys that can play at this level we shouldnt take them and hope to be decent and young next yr, BUT WE CANNOT SETTLE FOR LOW MAJOR PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

CMon coach play this smart
 
This is what message boards are about....People can be optomistic, people can be down, or they can take the wait and see approach. The next couple of weeks you are going to see a bunch of posts around about doom and gloom and hope. Right now we all want to know who is and is not coming back and we want to know who will sign in the Spring period. We are like little kids days before Christmas in which the anticipation is killing us.

A lot of you guys think that High Major players grow on trees and we can just pick a few when we need them.

im not saying that. thats why i said we should take what we can get and then look at next yr! dont waiste scholarships....there have been guys that had no right getting scholarships here the last few years. not gonna name names bc we all kno
 
this isn't the NBA where teh worse your record is the higher draft pick you get next year, this is the spring signing period and not a whole lot of players out there right now. These guys were the cornerstone of the OU program and the future. People have every right to be freaking out.
This ship has major holes in it.

i agree, but are we not better off without these guys if they dont wanna be here. im not saying its gonna be easy or next yr were all of a sudden gona be good. im saying that we need to clean this out and its better to get it all done now that drag it out over 5 yrs. if we can put together a good class this yr or next thats our best chance at giving us a good team again
 
I don't think fans are freaking out just quite concerned..going into his 5th year 2 of the worst seasons in history,1 nice Elite 8 run,1 Ncaa 1st round & now a total rebuild of the program.you sure do not see that very often in D1 basketball(unless the NCAA snags you)As an avid OU fan that sure is dissapointing at best..Go Sooners!!!
 
yes people are freaking out because we may be losing our 3 best players and be left with only 4 scholarship players, but that isnt the main reason. Right now this program looks like its spiraling out of control and everyday the situation gets worse. The wins and losses is a totally separate issue then all the crap going on right now.

Exactly. I'm starting to feel like I need a stiff drink before I log in here anymore. I keep telling myself it can't get any worse... can it?

This. Has nothing to do with basketball wins and losses and everything about the lack of control off the floor.

maybe it does. If Tiny and WW were connected with this "advisor" whose to say TMG isnt also ?

Personally, I was hoping you would say 'nope, can't get any worse' :ez-laugh:

At this point nothing would surprise me except an unpredictable coolm post. j/k coolm, the titanic post still has me laughing.

Cade tranferring to OSU and Pledger and Fitz transferring to Texas would be worse.
 
This [TMG/advisor] had crossed my mind considering he's supposedly heading to the league now (still trying to control my laughter at that thought).
 
Speaking of Cade. What must he be thinking? Fours years and this is what he's gonna get for his senior season. Feel sorry for him.
 
Well we felt sorry for Crocker,so Instead of being happy for the seniors & Congradulating them on a great 4 years,"we feel sorry they stayed this long"GoSooners!!!!!!
