Early in the year (and all offseason) there was this divide on the board about recruiting. Things were good, OU was coming off an elite 8, we had MCDAA's all over the place, we were recruiting guys like Lamb, Jones, Mccallum, and a bunch of other big name guys. The very thought of even looking at the juco ranks made some (you know who you are) laugh, laugh, and laugh some more.
OU was past that, they said. Those days were over. OU was above that. With Jeff Capel, there was no need to recruit juco players because he could just point and sign NBA players with his eyes closed.
Now even those people can't wait to see what Aziz Ndaiye, Juwanza Poland, and Tony Smith (all OU targets) are going to do. In many ways people are expecting these guys to be the answer, to be the pieces to the puzzle when added to OU's current talent to save next year from being another disaster.
Aziz is coming in on Saturday, and with his signature the expectations from the entire fanbase will change for next year. And wouldnt you know it, he is a junior college player.
Its kinda funny....
