Hypothetical recruiting question

[SoonerNorm]

Assume the following: OU has offered both Cox and Wilson. You only have one ship available. You are the coach and Wilson calls and says she wants to commit. Cox has not decided what she wants to do.

What would you do?

If I feel that I have any reasonable chance at Cox, I wait for her.

 

[sybarite]

I take that back. I want the one who says she wants to play for OU.

I throw the lowest producing player from the previous year under the bus and take 'em both (which is one of many reasons I don't coach college athletics)

I'm going to agree with Hardy.

I think we can get Wilsons. Players like Cox aren't that common. If I want more like what I can already get, I wait. If I want to build something, I wait for Cox. If we don't get Wilson this year, we'll get two next year.

I would take Wilson. When you look at percentages, how many number 1 players has OU signed in the last 25 years? No one knows what Cox will do. I doubt Cox knows what Cox will do. Oklahoma does not produce players as good as Wilson very often. They don't grow on trees. I don't see turning down Wilson for a player we have a low chance if signing. Take the sure thing and be happy.

Talk to the player(s) you think might be agreeable and ask that they release their scholarship. If none agrees, take Wilson(the sure thing).

 

[Oliver Hardy]

I'm afraid I might let one go very quietly and do all you could to find her a high-level slot elsewhere and then take both.

Having just watched the tournament final game, I would definitely wait for Cox. As I had wondered, when Wilson ran into a big girl in the middle, she couldn't be effective. Broken Arrow won in OT. Both "teams" were pretty good. The officiating wasn't.

It's a little hard to tell Syb, since she spent so much time on the bench due to foul trouble.

But it is interesting that all the main recruits we hear about were unable to lead their teams to a championship. I thought both Wilson and Llanusa were impressive in the semi-final game. I was unable to see Chelsea in her last game.

As usual though the champion was one of the schools with about 3 times as big a student population as anyone else in the state. It is made even more challenging since the games are so often played in their hometowns.

Wilson got most of her points against Choctaw by getting her own rebound for putbacks. She couldn't get the rebound with Jones in the middle. Jones is only 6-0, but she is formidable, built like Courtney. Wilson couldn't push her around.
