I was torn before Ryan Minor and Hollis Price.

Pre-tubbs was before my times as well. However, still got to love some Alvan Adams.
 
Pre-Tubbs: Terry Stotts

Tubbs: Wayman Tisdale (duh!)

Sampson: Hollis Price

Capel: Blake Griffin

Kruger: Romero Osby
 
The guys that played for two coaches, which era do they go in?

I'd probably go with:

Pre-Tubbs: Not sure. Wasn't born, or was young.

Tubbs: Dave Seiger, maybe Terry Evans

Sampson: Tie between Eduardo Najera and Hollis Price

Capel: Austin Johnson or Steven Pledger

Kruger: Osby, followed by Buddy and Booker
 
I'm young, so-

Sampson: Bookout

Capel: Cade Davis (not the best, but I loved him) or Pledger

Kruger: Osby or Woodard
 
Pre Tubbs: Wasn't alive

Tubbs: Wasn't alive

Sampson: Quannas White and Hollis Price

Capel: David Godbold/Blake and Tony Crocker

Kruger: Ro
 
Pre-Tubbs: Alvan Adams - He's probably the third best player in program history and definitely helped put OU on the map

Tubbs: WWT - An all-time great college player and an all time great person.

Sampson: Corey Brewer - He was tough as nails and hustled harder than anyone. In my mind he was the embodiment of the Sampson era.

Caple: Blake Griffin - He is so athletic. Guys like him are once a generation.

Kruger: Buddy - This was a tough call because of Osby, but there is something about how buddy smiles as he plays that makes me happy.
 
Pre-Tubbs, well I was just 6,7,8 yrs old and remember Al Beal, Terry Stotts, Aaron Curry and Raymond "Juice" Whitley.

Tubbs: Wayman of course. Most won't remember but Shawn Clark could jump out of the gym. Just too bad he couldn't keep his grades in order.

Sampson: Eduardo Najera. That guy was tough as nails. Watched him play hurt a lot. He was a gritty player.

Capel: Blake is the man here.

Kruger: Toss up between Osby and Buddy.
 
Pre Tubbs - 1. Alvin Adams 2. Gar Herd
Tubbs - 1. Wayman 2. Skeeter
Sampson - 1. Eduardo 2. Hollis
Caple - 1. Blake 2. Austin "Big Balls" Johnson
Kruger - 1. Buddy 2. Frank
 
Pre Tubbs: Didn't get with it until 1981...

Tubbs: Brother Tis

Sampson: Ed


Capel: Blake


Kruger: Roe

Pre Tubbs - Wasnt born yet.

Tubbs - Stacey "Sky" King. Wasnt quite old enough to remember Wayman. My earliest OU basketball memories were of the late 80's teams. Skeeter Henry is a close 2nd here.

Sampson - Ryan Minor (hence the handle)

Capel - Blake Griffin (Wanted to go with another but didnt want the headache that came with it)

Kruger - Romero Osby. Could always count on him to have his best every game.
 
Pre-Tubbs:

Tubbs:Tisdale

Sampson: Bookout. The dude broke my glasses with his sweaty armpit after the baylor win when the team moshed with the crimzone but i forgive him

Capel: Crocker. Could be very frustrating at times but loved that he stuck to his committment

Kruger: Osby

Honorable mentions to Nate Carter for how much he improved in his senior year and CAde davis for being cade davis and Godbold for being an very underappreciated player. I loved watching him play
 
Pre-Tubbs: Too Young.

Tubbs: Skeeter Henry (loved the Skeeter Meter).

Sampson: Really tough call, but Ryan Minor barely edges out Najera and Hollis.

Capel: Easy, Blake.

Kruger: Buddy is the leader in the clubhouse, but something tells me I'm really going to like Tae Thomas by the end of the season.
 
Sampson: Hollis Price!!

Capel: I have a few here I loved Godbold/Cade/Blake
I give Cade the nod

Kruger: Cousins/Buddy

I'm young so the others were before me :/
 
pre tubbs: Alvin
Tubbs: Brent Price
Sampson: Cory Brewer
Capel: Willie Warren
Kruger: Isiah Cousins
 
Pre-Tubbs: Too young

Tubbs: Bad timing but Mookie

Sampson: Hollis Price

Capel: Blake

Kruger: Ro, but Cousins will probably take that over eventually.
