Neveah Tot

Is Neveah ranked? I don’t see her name on ESPN. So I’m just confused. I know rankings don’t really matter when you step on the court, but I would like to know. And if she’s not ranked then I would like to know why we are going after her and not some of the talented young ladies we have right here in Oklahoma who have offers from teams we face all the time?

Good coaches dont care about rankings.

Which girls in Ok are you referring about?

I like oklahoma kids on any instate team... but if coaches dont see them as a fit, or good enough, glad we dont recruit them just because they are OK kids.
 
Rankings are interesting, but hardly the only issue. A couple of years ago, Texas got a PG in the top ten who was a bit of a disappointment and transferred to Kentucky. Last year, Baylor got a point guard who was supposedly a top five superstar, but she appeared to have been a disappointment, and she transferred. Right now, Baylor is recruiting two point guards that are both in the top ten, one of whom we were in on until recently. They seem to think they need a PG, as does Texas. Interesting?

Tot is not rated by either Prospect Nation or HoopGurlz as the two mentioned above were. Yet, she is being recruited by some five or six schools, one of whom is Rutgers. She was offered by Penn State, but has shown no interest.

It is also interesting that with one of the top ten PGs being recruited by Baylor just a few miles away, we see that more than one coach has called Tot the best PG in Texas. Seems a bit unsung, but not really unknown. I guess we won't know until we see her against D-1 competition. Even then, it may take a year to know. Her mother's experience may be of value. She may have learned a little about basketball.

Good coaches should define the rankings. I would rather have someone that Geno or Muffit wanted than to have the top-rated girl in any class.

Makes sense but that list is too small to depend upon for much success at OU. Not certain any fans can best identify those available girls that meet OU's needs.
 
Tot seems to check a few boxes at Sherri looks for in a player, having a strong Christian back ground is probably at the top... she’s only 5’3 and that could be something that is working against her, I think she’s also played behind some top guards on the AAU Circuit the last few years... I’ve read that she gets after it on defense and can shoot the long ball, both are skills OU can use right now... it’s interesting that the staff still showed interest in Tot, even though we still had a chance in Andrews, still I don’t think there on the same level.

If “good coaches” didn’t care about rankings then they wouldn’t go after the girls who are ranked, and the girls in Ok that I’m referring to are the girls who have offers from the other Oklahoma schools as well as other schools all over the country but they don’t have an offer from us.
 
I don't know how prestige's NYAA is. They have Embry(1) as the best player in state for 2021. Moore and the girl from Alabama are 6 and 7 or 7 and 8. I can't remember.

You are spot on.

I think the point that CoachTalk was trying to make is that it is good coaches who define the rankings. They are good because they can evaluate talent. I have seen nothing that defined that the ranking services on message boards have any particular expertise, and they probably get their rankings based on who the players say are recruiting them. The coaches aren't that likely to say since it is against the rules.

Good coaches often have seen something in these kids by the time they were in the eighth grade.

The only player that I really wish that we had been able to keep in Oklahoma in the past twenty years was Gant, and there were some issues for us, not for A&M. Wonder why? We simply couldn't take her. But, how many superstars have left OK? Some good players. But, OU and OSU also operate largely with out of state players.

Embry has disliked OU for years. Sometimes kids just don’t want to attend OU

Pull your head of the sand.

So you want them to waste time if they don’t want to attend?
 
I have no hatred towards her at all. Just not an OU fan. Moms aren't going to just blast a school on SM.

In fact I love her game and honestly think she is a program changer type of talent.
If you know so much, why wouldnt OU be recruiting a top 25 player in the country, now 4 mins from Campus. Dont say SC isnt smart. Or stiles or so on... I want real answer.... I wish ou would go down to Norman HS and former OU men's player Mike Neal, every day and show her love every single day.

You're 12 posts into this board, I have enough cred but I'm not posting "proof", I'm not making up lies.

I know Moore isnt a huge OU fan. In fact in the last 2-3 months, OU wasn't in her top 12. I think that has changed a little

I don’t understand how you came to that conclusion. I follow her and her mom on social media and I know people from her former high school. I’ve never seen anything on her or her moms social media that would suggest they don’t like OU. I also asked people from her former town did they ever get the feeling she didn’t like OU? They said NO!!! So again, I don’t understand where you came up with that conclusion. If you would kindly provide any type of proof to your claims then I’m pretty sure everybody on this thread would appreciate it. And why are you so mad at Embry? I’ve seen several posts on other threads where you seem to show hatred for that young lady. Are you from the town she left? You don’t have to answer that because I know who you are. Because the people that I know in Prague told me that you are on here trying to tarnish Embrys reputation. Sad!!! Let’s just hope that I don’t message her and her mother on social media and show them screenshots of text messages and group chat messages that people that I know from Prague have sent me. You might want to stop telling everybody everything. It’s sad that adults want to tear down kids for leaving a place where they’re not wanted.

I have never once tore her down because I said she wasn't an OU fan. I mean that is bad... everyone should be an OU fan...!

Why did she leave Prague Mr./Mrs. ?

Do you know the history of Prague and the Embry family? If you do, share it with me in a DM.

Or you just know a couple of people and take their word as gospel?
 
Can you prove that Sherri didn't offer her?

If Sherri didn't offer, was there a reason?
 
There seems to be some confusion on Moore, I’ve been told she was Wilde open, didn’t have any favorites, Sherri and Co went to watch her win gold over the summer so there must be some type of interest, she also just took an unofficial visit.
 
Like I said, provide any type of proof that Embry doesn’t like OU. It’s not her fault that our coach didn’t offer her. So if she doesn’t like us then that’s Sherri’s fault for not offering her. And don’t say, “Well she got injured” because she still received offers from schools around the country after her injury. According to her Twitter, she just received offers from Kansas and LSU. Also, I do know the history of Prague and the Embry family. Like I said, I know a lot of people in Prague. And they all said the same thing. We should have offered her once she recommitted for OkState like other schools did.

Listen, Im not going to play a game of chase with you. Ill wait for that Dm.

Injury had nothing to do with it. Your source is twitter, mine is earth core sample deeper.

I dont write much on the girls side unless i know something personally.

I agree with ya. Thats why I said at the end of my statement. Things have changed a little.

I hope we land her. I think OU took a big step over the summer.

Sometimes it doesn't pay to stray from the Men's board. Maybe he can change his user name to Day1CoachFan.
 
My source is Twitter, my friends that I know from her former school, and some of her family members. So again, please provide any type of proof that she dislikes OU. Because I happen to know for a fact that she actually likes OU, but her and her family are highly disappointed that we haven’t offered her.

So since you said her injury has nothing to do with it, then explain why we haven’t offered her.

Do you know (or even care) that you're disparaging one of the most respected and knowledgeable posters on this board?

I doubt assistants Stiles or Williams could answer your question much less CoachTalk. If you want to know why ask Sherri she is probably the only person with the answer.
