I spent the past four days at the Great American Shootout in Duncanville, Texas.
Here are just a few OU related observations.
By reading, possibly too much, into the OU coach's deployment for games, I believe that Jordan Woodard was their top target in attendance. It seemed like OU always made sure to have at least one coach (Kurger, Hill and Crutchfield were all there at various points this weekend) watching Woodard, who I thought had a very good weekend on the court. Which also means they also got a good look at his 2015 teammate Allonzo Trier (Tulsa NOAH), who also played very well.
FWIW, 2014 target Omega Harris picked up his first official offer from Fresno St (he wasn't playing with Woodard and Trier on Athletes First).
Stephen Clark tore it up with the Oklahoma Suns, he and another Oklahoma kid (Corlby Ervin) punked Bryce Alford (Steve Alford's son) and his team on Saturday in bracket play. Similar to OU's patterns with watching Woodard, OSU was always front and center at Clark's games.
Possibly 2013 option Shaq Morris saw an increase in interest from mid majors this weekend. I think that's his level and likely going to be the best fit for him.
This tournament overall had more mid major types than high majors, which showed in the make up coach's attending. Kruger, Travis Ford, Johnny Jones (LSU) and Billy Kennedy were the only high major head coach's I recall being there.
