OU recruiting 2017

Without trying to start anything but I don't think these young ladies and SC hit it off. That or she spends to much time at fund raisers and not enough on the recruiting road.

I agree... Even tho Davis didn't look like she would fit in with our team, at lest she took a visit, her final 3 were MD,Tenn and KU...
 
Sherry doesn't even recruit Oklahoma well. We got two good one the last two years but if she had recruited well in state, through her entire tenure we would have had much more success. She get on kids way to late,just doesn't work it hard enough.
 
Sherri's recruiting difficulties rest in her recruiting profile. Very few high national recruits meet that profile and it then becomes a numbers game wherein her success ratio has to be too high to compete with Baylor or Texas with regards to the number of top kids signed.

Also have if from a very reliable source that she restricts the number of offers she extended based on the number of scholarships she has. If she needs a point guard she is not going to offer three prospects and take the first one. She will focus on the first one and often beleft with no good option B when she misses on her.

It has been a decade back but Sherri stated recruiting wasn't her strength. Chelsea Dungee, Nancy Mulkey and Ana Llanusa are steps in the right direction but she needs more of them, at least a couple a year from the top 30 kids in the country, to stay on par with Baylor and Texas not to mention Notre Dame, Stanford, Maryland, South Carolina, Tennessee and UConn.

Tough to consistently be a top ten program without consistently signing top ten recruiting classes. You win with the Janes and the Jills more so than with anything else. And Sherri is not getting enough of them.

What is her recruiting profile? I guess I don't know what you are referring to with that statement. I've seen elsewhere that mentioned by other posters, but never understood what it meant.

This definitely sounds about right... this became obvious to me back in 2009 when Sherri missed out on Kelsey Bone, and ended up signing Lyndsey Coleman... while it's important to lock down and keep the instate talent home... seems like the majority of kids who have played high school basketball in Oklahoma haven't went on to have much success in college...
