The last great OU team (built by Sampson, who had a decade of time in this area):
Blake Griffin- Oklahoma
Taylor Griffin- Oklahoma
Austin Johnson- Texas
Willie Warren- Texas
Tony Crocker- Oklahoma
Cade Davis- Oklahoma
Omar Leary- Colorado
The really good OU team before that, also built by Kelvin Sampson:
Terrell Everett- Missouri
Kevin Bookout- Oklahoma
David Godbold- Oklahoma
Taj Gray- Kansas
Jaison Williams- Colorado
Drew Lavender (Ohio): Transferred
Lawrence Mckenzie (Minnesota): Transferred
Brandon Foust (Ohio): Transferred
And before that:
Quannas White- Texas
Hollis Price- Louisiana
Ebi Ere- Oklahoma
Jason Detrick- Missouri
Daryan Selvy- Oklahoma
Aaron Mcghee- Illinois
This years team:
Andrew Fitz- Maryland
Steve Pledger- Virginia
Nick Thompson- Utah
Calvin Newell- Philly
Carl Blair- Texas
Cameron Clark- Texas
Cade Davis- Oklahoma
Tyler Neal- Oklahoma
CJ Washington- Oklahoma
So, the only guys from Oklahoma and Texas are mid-majors with the exception of Cameron Clark. In the past, most of OU's better players are from this part of the country.
You NEED the best players from the area to win. OU has proven time and again that it does not recruit nationally very well. All of OU's highly successful players are from the area. Wayman, Blake, Adams, Minor, etc.
We need someone who can recruit the heck out of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Louisiana.
