So I don't know if we'll have anyone on our team more talented than those three, but I think we can be a better team. I think guys will understand how much we need each other. I think overall, perhaps we'll have a little more quality depth. But mainly, I think we'll have guys totally immersed in OU -- with both feet in -- and what we want to accomplish.

 

[Capel's Mustache]

Q: You return 28 percent of the scoring and 22 percent of the rebounding from last year. Are you confident you have guys who can pick up that slack and produce?
A: "We probably won't be as talented as we were last year. We lost two guys who were drafted (Willie Warren and Tiny Gallon) and another who was an all-conference player and thought he was an NBA player (Tommy Mason-Griffin). So I don't know if we'll have anyone on our team more talented than those three, but I think we can be a better team. I think guys will understand how much we need each other.

Saw that too and was about to post it! hahaha! You dont even have to read between the lines to figure how that relationship ended.

The zinger was more than well deserved.

Coach Capel has a right to say whatever he wants, and I certainly don't know what really went down between he and TMG last season, but I wish he would take the high road on stuff like that.

I agree Tony

Perhaps Coach is making a point to any of the guys coming in who might feel the same way (in thinking they are ready for the NBA). Getting a degree is the best thing for any of them. Even if they do leave early to play pro ball. If nothing else get a finance degree so you will know how to take care of you money. OU makes it fairly easy to finish you classes.

Yes it was.

Well he is not telling a lie...TMG thought he was a NBA player by declaring early....And he didnt get drafted so right now he is not a NBA player
