Recruiting

The story that I saw said that Sherri was scouting two other guards when she spotted DRob and asked who she was,

Don't have time to find all of the articles again, but here are a few. Again, the staff didn't even have her on the radar when they were looking for guards. That's a flaw in recruiting strategies. Any player from CA in the top 100 in the country should have been on their list to recruit; at least know who they are considering they already had AOlajuwon from southern CA and the twins from northern CA.

Robinson was an alternate on the USA U18 World Championships team this past summer. She was one of the Paris twins favorite players during their days as prepsters in Northern California and someone that Ashley Paris advised the coaching staff to recruit.

Then at a tournament only a couple months before signing day, Robinson met Sooner coach Sherri Coale for the first time.

One thing led to another.

"We’re going where?” Robinson’s mother, Denise, asked when her daughter said they were taking an official visit to OU.

Robinson took a couple of other official visits after going to Norman, but eventually she canceled her last two visits and committed to the Sooners.

She currently has nine offers: Oklahoma State, Tulsa, Oral Roberts, Missouri-Kansas City, Wichita State, Washington State, Santa Clara, Texas-San Antonio and Texas-Arlington.
I guess OSU wants another Jaden Hobbs. I would put Hobbs in the category of "a great shooter that lacks other necessary skills to compete effectively in the conference."

Jaden Hobbs is EXACTLY who i thought of when i saw her highlight!
 
Seeing things like this make me hope that SC & co. Are really out there looking, but pessimistic that they will find anyone productive as they'll all be taken. Let's hope for the best I suppose. Should have been looking all throughout the season when it was glaringly evident what our primary weakness was, but SC knows best, right?
