******OKLAHOMA vs. UTEP GAME THREAD*****

you can tell that the griffen boys dad was a coach

capel does a good job of recruiting, but his team's or this team is so fundamentally BAD on defense.

I think those 2 statements are oxymoronic. You can't recruit good and have bad players. Fact is that Capel hasn't evalutated his players well because all he has is athletes that can't really play.

 

[NickZepp]

Tiny would be fine if he wasn't suppose to be our 2nd best player this year. He really needs another post or two to take some of the pressure off of him. But instead of surrounding him with a good JUCO post, or even a guy like Jabahri Brown or Renzi Stone, we have Wright and Allen. Those guys should be playing the role of 4th big man that only plays after massive foul trouble, or in a blow out. Yet, one started early this year, and now he's the first big off the bench, and playing major minutes b/c Tiny is young and in foul trouble.

So basically he needs to recruit basketball players like Kelvin instead of athletes.

Here's my Captain Obvious statement of the year: We just plain are not a very good team this year. We all need to adjust our expectations and hope these young guys learn to play defense and improve as a cohesive unit. A 6-10 campaign is looking like a realistic possibility in the Big XII.

At this point, I would almost take 6-10.

Cade Davis benched to start the second half in favor of Plegder. Interesting.

47-32.

 

[NickZepp]

If we go 6-10 with this talent Capel should probably be canned.

I don't care about recruiting rankings, It's what they actually do on the court that I consider.
