OU open roster spots - Good places to start

[soonerstar]

With the fact that OU didn't use all of their 2017 ships as of yet imo possibly for a transfer which could still be possible lots of big time transfers still out there but unless they get a graduate transfer their bench might be shorter than normal next season
Ortiz

Erase Mulkey. Down to 10 now.

That is not a team that's going to have very many victories. We are in free fall as of today.

Sounds like a transfer might be visiting this weekend.

Who is visiting?

Right but Switzer put together back to back to back recruiting classes with Jamelle, Keith Jackson, Dante Jones, Boz, Troy Johnson, Darrell Reed, Ricky Dixon, Mark Hutson to name just a few. To quote the great Switzer it's the Jimmies and Joes not the Xs and Os.

Bob got side tracked not adjusting to recruiting and making some bad assistant hires, letting some assistants
get too sloppy/lazy. It showed on the field. And to Bob's credit despite all the tenure trends pointing in the opposite direction OU's had a great two year run on the field and in recruiting because Bob overhauled everything about the way OU recruits including his level of personal involvement. Bob's impact in recruiting is 100% different than 5 years ago.

Sherri's a great coach. She's been a great coach for 20+ years. She hasn't forgotten how to coach. But recruiting has changed and she's been extremely slow to react to the changes. She still does not have a twitter account. Of all the Sooner major teams WBB twitter has the least posts and buzz. Take a look at it compared to how active Sooner softball's official twitter is.
How the staff gotten stale in recruiting ?? Hard to say. Recruiting rankings results would say yes.
Does the staff need to fix Texas recruiting? Yes, or get California/West Coast recruiting going again.
Is Sherri paying enough attention to International recruiting? Seems to be becoming a bigger trend.

And the further distance from a big 12 title or a final four run is only going to make recruiting harder.

Do you think hosting a summer camp for top prospects is important and a camp for girls in the area?
Do most big time basketball programs have summer camps?

Is that enough evidence or do you need more???

google search for Sherri Coale camps does provide this amusing link

Is Coale the only Big 12 coach who does not conduct camps?

 

[atlantasooner]

To be fair, the camp thing has never been explained adequately. It may be totally out of Sherri's hands.
