I'll give a quick breakdown of my interpretation of the camp and the Prospects that I saw. First off I want to give a disclaimer that the major recruits weren't involved in alot of the camp activities. I suspect that they were toured around the campus and assigned to certain players.
Cameron Clark
Basketball analysis: Cam was clearly a different caliber player than any other player there. The thing that impressed me the most was his shooting form. Almost textbook from his head to his feet. His follow through was perfect. Cam is not a great ballhandler, however his shooting ability and ability to finish are at a very high level. I was a bit disappointed in his approach to the camp. Didn't really take it serious or go hard.
Recruiting analysis I would be very shocked if he's not a sooner. The report was so high with the coaches and the players that they weren't really even showing a recruiting effort. The only indicator of recruiting that I saw towards him was when one of the coaches had WW work with him on drills. Cam spent very little time overall with Camp activities. He was actually singled out by coaches in examples of drills and demonstrations as if he were already a Sooner. He spent most of his time with TJ and Ricky Scott.
Robert Goff 6'10 PF Cowley/Hutchinson/Indiana
Basketball Analysis: Goff was a big strong looking kid. Very raw offensively, but had the ability to be almost automatic around the basket. Finished efficiently at a high level. It was really hard to determine his overall potential because he was playing against very young guys. He definetely passed the eye test, but he definetely was underdeveloped offensively. Reminded me of Orlando Allen, but in excellent condition.
Recruiting Analysis: Unlike Clark, Goff participated in all of the camp. At one time I saw Kline talking to him extensively. I suspect Kline is the guy who is the recruiter on him. Seemed very comfortable at OU. Not much interaction with Capel that I saw. I don't know if he came away with an offer, but I suspect he'll be a Sooner. At the end of the Camp, he and Capel embraced for dap and the coach thanked him for making the long trip.
Ricky Scott 6'3 SG Dallas
Basketball Analysis: Very strong power guard. Very similar to Andre Emmett and Ronald Ross. He's a nice sized kid. About 6'3 and very muscular. Agressive driver and above the rim finisher. Shooting is a weakness. Overpowered Clark on some one on one drills.
Recruiting Analysis My isntincts is that he would commit to OU instantly if offered. I'm not sure he has an offer, but seemed to love being there. Spent most of his time with Cameron and TJ. I didn't see the coaches on him as much as they were with Cameron and Cobbins
Michael Cobbins 6'9 PF Amarillo
Basketball Analysis: Very long kid, but very thin. Wore a knee brace. Seems like a kid that will have alot of leg injuries if he doesn't bulk up. A legit 6'9. Obviously he didn't play
Recruiting: Seemed very uninterested in being there. Maybe because he was injured or maybe it was his normal disposition. Oronde pulled him to the side to discuss recruiting with him. Didn't seem like he was very familar with the coaches. I would be suprised if he would consider OU highly. Best case senario is OU gets back into his list. I suspect he got a tour, because he wasn't around at at the end of camp.
James Johnson PF California
Basketball Analysis: Reminded me of alot of the mormon power forwards that Utah and BYU gets or even a guy like Josh Heysvelt, but not quite Josh's athleticism. Decent Athlete, nice touch and D1 ready. slightly mechanical, but runs the floor well. Physically he's just right. Not too small, not to big.
Recruiting Seemed a bit more comfortable than Cobbins. Didn't participate in full camp drills. I suspect he and his parents got a tour. It is huge that OU got the kid to show up at the camp. I would be interested to see if he goes to OSU either today or Tommorrow.
Dominque Rainey
Basketball Analysis Camp MVP in my opinion. Very good at everything. Good athlete, high basketball IQ, and very skilled. Can knock down the three or dunk on you. Had alot of mustard in his body. very Fluid and agressive with the ball. In the open session he was very comfortable and knew how to approach it unlike other kids who force issues. Not a big kid. About 6'1 1/2, which is why he's not ranked, probably. A poor man's Bradley Beal.
Recruiting Analyis: Does not hold an OU offer. Has been offered by OSU and will probably pass on them. I got the feeling that there was a mutual respect from the OU program and Rainey about each other, but I didn't get the feeling that it would get past that point. He's gettting alot of interest from Big East schools, more specifically Cuse and Georgetown.
Jawanza Poland (Cowley/Hutchinson)
Basketball Analysis: A 6'5 athletic power guard in the mold of Ebi Ere. Explosive jumper and fill up scorer in Juco for what that's worth. Very aggressive with the ball and liked to take it to the rim. Very unorthodox in his playing style and shooting. Shot the ball like JR Giddens.
Recruiting Analysis : The backup plan for Olukemi. OU might recruit him in the spring if they have dismissals or transfers. Teammate of Goff.
All in all the camp was good. Alot of the camp was window dressing for Clark, Cobbins, Johnson, Scott, ETC. TJ Taylor really seemed at home, joking around with the players and staff. Joseph Szendrief, the basketball Swartzenegger was a guy I was impressed with. He's a very good instructor and relates well to the kids. I suspect Clark eventually commits to OU along with Goff(if offered). Johnson is the wild card of the camp. Though he participated in limited drills, it is a plus for him to even come. Scott is a kid that I suspect would commit to OU. He is not capable of playing the one and his shooting is not of a SG quality, but everything else about his game is excellent. The Cobbins situation bears monitoring, but I wouldn't get too excited. There were a ton of good younger kids from Houston, Plano East, Dallas, Allen TX, and even N.O.
