You know who hates recruiting Oklahoma even more than Jeff Capel?

I think the problem with Ford not recruiting Oklahoma players boils down to the fact that most of them are really good people. Ford appears to prefer players that are disgruntled, been kicked off high school teams, and have problems respecting women- Pilgrim, Moses, Williams, Johnson, etc. ;)
 
OSU is very interested in Jordan Woodard and is in great shape to land his services.
 
I didn't think Capel hated recruiting Oklahoma all that much. He brought in Blake, Cade, Neal and Hardrick didn't he? Kelvin got a lot of his players from out of state, too.

This. Not only this, but he also brought in kids who were from Oklahoma like Barry Honore, Ryan Randolph, and CJ Washington.
 
Some coaches see Oklahoma kids as not having faced the competition. With AAU I would think it isn't the case any more. Lock-up the Oklahoma kids, and then supplement. Do better than anybody before.

Billy sgned Wayman Tisdale...but he didn't sign Mark Price or Steve Hale.

Kelvin signed and lost Humphrey and Alexander for what ever reason..Bookout and Taylor Griffin were huge..but he lost way more than he signed...sure to Duke and Kentucky and Kansas...but he should have been able to pull in one.

Lon Kruger is sending a message to Oklahoma HIgh School players..we want you at OU.

Mark Price is the biggest recruiting loss in any sport in OU's history. OU's entire basketball legacy would be changed.
