Not answering for Sam, but I was there with him and the competion was top level as far as summer circuit basketball is concerned.
 
Dang this dude is blowing up. For those that have seen him, can you compare his game to someone.
 
Ty Lawson is the best comparison in my opinion. He's just super strong.

They better get in on him.

I know Kruger said he wants to secure all the top players, and have them stop leaving the state, something Capel sure didn't seem to try to do. I have confidence that our recruiting in the state will improve, as well as Texas.
 
OU is at the top of Jordan's list. We will discuss Jordan's recruitment and OU's heavy evaluation of the 2013 class in some stories down the line. One thing is for sure, the top schools in the Country will get in on recruiting Jordan.

Not sure where it came from, but there is a lot of incorrect talk about OU not recruiting the state well, or as consistently as we have.

Let's face it, Oklahoma doesn't put out a consistent amount of what I'd call "top talent". When there are good players in the state (top 100 kids), we recruit them, and have consistently had good sucess. It wasn't that long ago that we landed Bookout and DA. We had Ere both out of HS, and out of Juco. Taylor and Blake. Cade.

My point is, we haven't passed on recruiting top 100 kids from the state, and we haven't struck out on many that didn't have their minds set on schools like KU/UK or whomever. And we can't field a good ball team offering 2-3 scholarships a year to Oklahoma kids that are on Neal's level. We can't. If anything, that is exactly what got Capel into trouble.
 
The bigger revelation on the Woodard front is that James, the older Woodard's stock is rising as well. Don't be suprised to see him being evaluated by some high major schools.

Do you or Sam think OU will offer James? Or is it still too early to tell?
 
James' stock is rising in my book after this past weekend, I think an offer could become a possibility if he keeps progressing.
 
Another question is does OU take Woodard and Clark in the same class? Clark has gotten a lot of hype but it seems that Woodard is starting to take some of that for himself.

It also sounded like Nino Jackson had a terrific weekend in Kansas City and OU is still recruiting him as well.

For some reason, this hurts people's feelings in this state. OU and OSU offer in-state kids (and pursue them hard) IF THEY THINK THEY CAN PLAY. As has been pointed out on several occasions, and as you have so eloquently in your post, the state just doesn't put out that much D1 talent year in and year out.

Since OU has a lot of open ships in 2013 it seems like both could be a possibility and I it looks like OU is interested in both right now.
 
I don't get how a guy that is 6'1" and 170lbs as a sophomore in high school is called little.
