I was being sarcastic. Blake recruited better talent than the product be produced on the field. Capel did as well. The other thing they had in common was both of them took the program to lows it hadn't seen in generations, and as history later showed, both of their recruiting prowess was influenced by their paying of players.

The issue with that comparison is that Blake had absolutely zero success at OU unlike Capel. But yes, both had tremendous lows. Blake's lows were the worst in program history.

Unfortunately, Blake's 3 years were my last 3 years at OU with Schnelly's year my freshman year. I think my class is the only 1 in the history of the school to not have witnessed a winning football season.

Fact is outside of Blake and Willie Warren, Capel was an abysmal recruiter at OU.

What is funny is that Tiny Gallon was the highest rated recruit that Capel snagged. Likely the 2nd highest rated recruit in the history of the program outside of Tisdale.

Don't care where he was ranked coming in. Gallon and TMG just weren't that good team basketball players, and it wasn't helped by the fact that we had no system for them to play in making them look less like team guys. Outside of Blake taking over his 2 years we had no focus on Capel's teams.

TMG was a gunner looking to get his. Gallon actually started to show real promise at the end of the year IMO. Losing him was a big loss and stunted his growth IMO (and any chance of OU succeeding the next season).

And Capel recruited Romero Osby to OU.

I stopped reading after this part.

Me too! If he is so good why is he still an assistant 3 years later??

I shouldn't say this but I could give a dump about Capel! All that is in the past or didn't happen. All I care about is this recruiting class, how players are developing in the offseason, and what inroads are the staff making for future recruits.

The Hindenburg woulda made a nice soft landing, if it hadn't had all that fire.
