I realize that the above is a Jenni article and as usual the facts are sparsely peppered among the rhetoric (or is it schtick?), but is the following really true?
"Had Kelvin Sampson not left for Indiana, Reynolds, James and Jeremy Mayfield likely would still be Sooners but Griffin would not. His interest in OU went from lukewarm to committed only after Sampson's departure."
I guess I didn't follow Blake's recruitment very well, so I wondered if that actually was the case. I would figure that with TG recruited by KS, that he would have had an advantage with Blake. Or, maybe TG didn't like KS and was encouraging Blake to consider other options? The Lavender part of the article seems to insinuate that this may be the case with more than one OU player. Anyway, this just seemed like an oddly random statement, and I wondered if someone out there had any insight into that situation.
