Maybe this is why Crutchfield attended JUCO tourney?

I look forward to more CJ Washingtons, Casey Arent, Robert Goffs, Robert Allen, Sam Grooms, DJ Bennetts.

They make us so much better.

Sam grooms did make us better. And p.s. you boy capel was recruiting him too. Had he stayed he probably goes to UNC. CJ Washington Capel Recruit. Robert Goff, Caple Recruit, DJ Bennett, how bout we let him suit up for a game first. So all you have is Casey Arent who was signed to give us a body for practice When Kruger had about 2 weeks to recruit after the mess Capel left us in.

Do we have people following the coaches every footstep looking to see where they are recruiting? The JUCO Tournament draws lots of coaches and scouts. The Coaches were also at state tournaments all over the region. Personally I want them looking at as many players as possible and then getting who they feel are the best players that fit their schemes. If that is a talented JUCO so be it. Maybe they were there and didn't see anything. No one outside the staff knows right now.

I'm tired of the leftovers...Thats what we have been getting lately.

You guys can call them late bloomers...I call them leftovers. They can be good...but we need guys that other top 25 programs want.

Your act is so tired. Why don't you go cheer for a team with blue chippers (KU would be perfect) if Kruger's style bothers you so much.

Oh.

You mean like Hield? And Hornbeak? And Spangler? Cam had plenty of offers as well.

It takes time to rebuild a program. Your boy Capel left us as a program that didn't have much to offer. Kruger is changing that. Not in time to impact recruiting this year so much, but with the 2014 and 2015 classes, you should see it.

Not to nitpick, but Spangler doesn't belong in that list. At least, as far as the point you're trying to make. He had offers from Gonzaga, Colorado, TCU, and Tulsa and wasn't ranked nationally.

If Gonzaga offers a kid, and then Lon Kruger thinks he is good enough to take him as a transfer that is likely to start for three years at OU, I think he belongs.

After seeing all these kids that weren't highly recruited tear it up for smaller schools, I'd think OU fans would forget about top 50 recruits a little bit.

OSU with their Nash's and Smart's just had a season that was almost identical to ours.
 
You can add Woodard to the list as well.

An offer from Memphis. Interest from Stanford, OSU, and KSU. Those teams seem to make the tournament pretty frequently.

I know his HS school coach, and he had told me he had around 38 offers, so I think you are missing a few
 
I guess I'm puzzled by some on this board. Do they actually attend OU games. If they did they would see with their own eyes the improvement of the players discussed here. For three years this team didn't know how to spell defense, much less play it. In a few months Coach K had them playing much better defense. If they were not shooters when they got here, theirs not much a coach can do about that except teach them the above so a to contribute to the team. Thank you coach, I know things will get better over the next two or three years and I want to thank you now.

That's weird that every major recruiting site would be off by 34 offers.

Those sites almost never list all offers. They only list the a handful. Same way with football. Some of those studs have over 50 offers. I've never seen them all listed.

I didn't realize getting a 5 seed and getting a 10 seed was almost identical

I didn't realize that our goal as a program was to be a mid major.
