For some reason I was thinking Woodard and not Parker.

The kid is obviously Bull(dog)ish on the U of G.

 

[BoulderSooner]

To me it is problem for OU, Tulsa and OSU when a playe of this caliber does not have any state school in his top 3. Obviously, I want that school to be OU but more importantly I want to see the local kids seriously considering the local schools.

Some kids just want to leave the state. You can't blame them. It's very rare that a kid has 0 interest in his in state schools. This is just one of those rare times.

Why? You don't know the circumstances.

I don't think he can play at TU given that they just hired his HS coach, to a non-recruiting position. There has been some back and forth on this, but I don't think he'd have already eliminated TU, a school that his brother played at, and where his dad teaches, and now his old HS coach is employed, IF they were an option.

I didn't hear much about OSU recruiting him. Maybe they did, and I missed it.

As for OU, I'm not sure why he isn't/wasn't more interested. Maybe we slow played him. Maybe he didn't want to play with Clark/Woodard. Maybe he sees that we have other big guards on our roster, and he wants more immediate playing time. Maybe he just didn't "feel" HC Lon Kruger.

 

[Seymore Cox]

I get the impression that it was a mutual split......he hasn't played well.

 

[WTSooner]

And that kind of brings up a good point, if he is such a good player, and we (OU) should feel bad about losing him, why isn't he getting better offers?

From the mouth of an OU assistant coach, OU was not offering him a scholarship. They were worried about his impact when he isn't the best athlete on the floor an have a size advantage on his opponent.

This information came to about a week before Juwan starting listing schools without OU in there.

That might be why.
