Terrance Jones.....

[jmizzy4ou]

Just casually watching the Mavs vs the Blazers, when they cut away to an interview with TJ. The reporter asks him who his favorite is right now, and he says 1) OKLAHOMA, 2) Kentucky......

The announcer joked that he didn't name Oregon, which I guess is his alma mater......

Guess he's smart enough not to read the tulsa world.

it was stunning to hear oklahoma as the first school out of his mouth. too bad nba tv couldn't have picked up the entire interview.

Yep.... I was shocked, didn't even realize he was being interviewed until I heard Oklahoma....

With all of the crap being talked about, ANY type of good news is coveted right now.....

Wasn't Taliferro the one recruiting this guy?

I hope not.

 

[red recluse]

capel has made several trips up there i know.

edit: i realize how stupid that sounds now. i just meant i think capel has been the one recruiting terrance, not orande.

 

[seniorsooner]

I hope not.

That's what I'm afraid of.

If he still likes OU there's no way the most recent rumors are even close to true.

Ok the answer is clear. Carter and Poland were about to commit then they heard this beast of a man named Terrance Jones was going to come on campus and any attempts by them to feel like they would ever feel like real basketball players would be impossible.

I like how you think!!

Depending on the severity of the situation, and if capel is telling them what is going on.....terrance jones and terrence ross being able to start together could be a plus for them and they would almost both def. start next year alongside another really talented guy in cam clark and if gallon is still here there is another talented guy....

so coach O did come from arkansas and he had a clean record from there that i remember so maybe jones doesn't realize that ou is in trouble or capel has contacted him telling him some of the changes and that he will def be the focal point of the sooners next year with him and tiny and a great group of freshman who are ready to turn this thing around

And to think, the speculation by the media here in Portland has been that Jones was waiting to see who Oregon hired. Of course Oregon has pretty much screwed up their entire head coaching search.....you want to talk about a bunch of amateurs.

There is also speculation that Jones and Ross are waiting for players like Stephen Madison to get better offers. He's a player worth offering IMO especially if it gets us Jones.

According to this Jones won't announce his college choice until April 23 or 30:

If it wasn't for the Tulsa world and daily oklahoma this stuff would be nothing more than a whisper.

I wonder what would happen to the fans if Jones and Ross committed to OU...I wonder if people would still be asking for Capels head.

 

[soonerbob70]

I have watched several interviews with T. Jones. He seems to be a very thoughtful kid with his head on straight. That being said you never know. I agree with the previous posters with regard to Taliaferro. If Taliaferro was recruiting Jones then we want NO part of it.

If we landed those guys and dropped off another season like this one, people would be well within their rights to call for a coaching change.

Jones has said more than once that he wanted to go where he could have the greatest impact. Does another school on his list fit that description more than OU? We can only hope he meant what he said.

As for his recruiting coach, I'm fairly sure it was Mark Cline. Maybe that's wishful thinking on my part. But it seems to me I read that somewhere.

It's Cline who is recruiting Jones. Cline also recruited Cam and Tj.
