It is a little bit obsessive.

I don't.

Too bad Sampson wasn't as generous to Capel as Tubbs was to Sampson. It took til conference play to realize that Sampson left Capel Nate Carter. If only he was left somebody near as talented as Ryan Minor.

 

[StoopsBros]

Neal, Godbold, TGriff, Clark, Maze, Crocker, AJ...none of these players were any good?

First off Mike Neal was also really talented. And some good young talented players. Not to mention Blake's brother. Without him we don't get Blake. That team had more overall talent then the overall team Sampson inhereted. Plus a great recruiting class that was already signed. We had a better team that year then we've had the last 2 years as far as talent goes. Outside of Ryan and John Ontjes we didn't have a lot more left from Billy T.

It doesn't matter. Capel was a success the first three years. Whether the players he inherited were good or not is irrelevant. For the first three years, I have nothing but praise for Jeff Capel. Sampson has nothing to do with the current state of the program. The situation now is 100% on Jeff Capel. The only question is whether or not he can turn it around. I go back and forth myself but lean no. I do think he will get another year though.

Pointing to Sampson as the cause of this year's problems is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Ryan Minor, Jason Yanish, Dion Barnes, John Ontjes, James Mayden, and Calvin Curry was left for Sampson.

I hope your not thinking Neal was even in the same ball park as Minor.

And how do you know that we don't get Blake w/o Taylor...B/c we weren't getting Blake w/ Sampson as our coach???

Can we get this sticky'd to the top of the board? Engraved in stone? Thanks in advance.....

You left out Longar Longar.

The notion that we had no talent on hand when Capel has been so thoroughly discredited so often that it's laughable to see people still posting it as if it's a fact.

bgrch, that old "cupboard was bare when Capel arrived" claim doesn't play too well when you take a careful inventory of the group Sampson left behind.

Nate Carter had some pretty good teammates in Capel's first year. David Godbold, Taylor Griffin, Austin Johnson, Michael Neal and Longar Longar were on that team. Capel brought in Bobby Maze, to go along with Keith Clark and Tony Crocker as the only two Sampson signees who remained committed to the LOI they signed. Losing Reynolds and James was huge. But it's not like he didn't inherit a solid base of players to build from in 2007.
