Dean, please put us out of our misery. I'd rather have nothing being posted on the b-ball board than this assinine BS.

Jeff ****ing Capel has only been here one and a half years! And Cade Davis and Griffin are only FRESHMEN (singing the Verve? song in my head)! Give me a ****ing break and let these guys show what they can do, like beat the 18th ranked team in the country!

proof?

Proof is in what he's done at OU so far. And what he's done against the bigger teams. If you look at when he's played teams that have bigger guys he's not really made a lot of baskets. He's a long ways from being an NBA guy right now.

And I never said Fire Capel. I'm still not sure of the guy at this point. There's no reason to be at this point.

So, he is projected by NBA scouts as a top 10 pick but he is only an athlete??? Sure, I will concede that he is a little raw at this point, but the guy has played 12 or so D1 games at this point and he doesnt have the surrounding cast that Eric Gordon, Derick Rose, and other big time recruits have!!

And I never said Fire Capel. I'm still not sure of the guy at this point. There's no reason to be at this point.


I can, Capels team is much better than last years team already this season and the proof in a good coach is when his teams get better not only season to season, but within the season(note the loss to SFA followed by wins againt a good Ark team and a pretty good Gonzaga team. Look at the talent Sean Sutton has and he is 6-5 with several bad losses, We are a good but not great team so far this year that is one more impact player from being undefeated or a 1 loss team!


Also, look at all the talent that left when Sampson bailed, if Capel had that talent we would have likely been a tourney team last year and def a tourney team this year!

Sampson bailed with a top 10 class signed. Capel couldn't keep that class. Also we had enough talent last year to at least make the NIT.

You have to reserve judgment on Capel til next year, realizing that potentially only one player on this year's team (with eligibility remaining) will start next year. 2008 starting lineup goes Leary/Neysmith at the point, Warren (an absolute coup that we got him) at the 2, Ryan Wright at the 3, and Blake Griffin and the JUCO (forget his name) on the front line and this team will be very very dangerous.

That being said, our 2007 team will surprise you, I think. They will get a couple of wins in conference you don't expect, get a couple of losses you don't expect, but be a tough out for everyone.

Sure, the jury is out on Capel, but I like what I see thus far. Pretty good for the second year when he had absolutely nothing in the cupboard when he got here.

Bull**** Nicky. I have seen you post on other boards, maybe even this one, that Capel inherited enough talent to make the tourney LAST YEAR. ****, I just saw a couple of posts down that he had enough to make the NIT last year, so surely you don't think judgment should be reserved. You have already made up your mind that he isn't a good coach, just like you don't think Bob is a good coach. Do us a favor and quit being a "fan".

There is little doubt in my mind that Capel not only didn't have the talent to make the tourney last year, I would argue that he doesn't have the talent to make the tourney THIS year, even with Griffin. This team still does not have a reliable scorer night in night out from the outside.

Last year, there was Michael Neal, who's senior year paled in comparison to his junior year.

This year, I like the way we have had some guys show up from time to time, but when they all go flat, it's Stephen F. Austin time.

Warren definitely holds a big key to this program. If he can do at D1 what he has done at the AAU level, it's going to make EVERYTHING better.

The probation was pretty minor and it didn't effect the fact that we had enough talent to got to the NCAA Tournament already there.

We have enough talent. We don't have a scorer. We had a better scoring threat last year with Nate Carter. None of our guys right now can score like Carter could.

Little Wing, what's the obsession with Carter? I agree he had a nice senior year, but it took him 15 games to get in the groove. No question he was an effective scorer over the last half of the season, but he was AWOL until February.

Freaking retarded.

I appreciate what Nate Carter did for the program but if you think that Nate Carter is a better scoring threat than Blake Griffin you are stoned.

Nate Carter was a tweener who was exceptional at 2 things..1.Taking larger players to the basket off the dribble and drawing fouls 2. Making free throws. Again I liked how he was able to do irt with some consistancy but the moment anything resembling a double team or a zone was thrown out there he was a 3rd or 4th option. He shot 48% from the floor averagin 11.6ppg. and 5 rpg. Which NBA team is Nate Carter playing for this year???...that's right.

Blake Griffin has been seeing double teams from day one and he is still averaging 13 and 8 as a freshman while shooting 58.6% from the field. (translation..massive dunks).

Blake Griffin is not only a better scoring threat than Carter, he is probably the best individual scoring threat we have had since Hollis Price.

Before Big 12 play, Nate Carter had one game with over 20 minutes against Liberty. The rest of the time he was on the bench getting no minutes. If he plays more in those games he may have averaged close to 20 points a game on the season.

Blake Griffin isn't even the best scoring threat on our team right now. That's Longar Longar or Tony Crocker. Especially against the better teams we've played. Against Memphis, USC, Arkansas, and Gonzaga, Longar has been our leading scorer at just under 13 a game. Crocker is 2nd at about 11 per game. Blake has scored about 8 a game.

Nate Carter averaged 16.5 points per game in conference play. Most of that despite seeing double teams and having no real other help from the rest of the team outside of a few good games from Longar. None of our players right now are even close to that right now.

There is no way in hell NC averages 20 points a game, even if he had played every minute of every game. Up until the Baylor game (last win of that winning streak), our playbook was pretty simple: give it to him down low, he gets fouled, hits both FTs. After that he started drawing double teams and didn't play consistently well for the rest of the season.

Also, ever think that maybe the reason he didn't play much at the beginning was the coaches hadn't figured out his main strength was to draw fouls and get to the line? Besides that, he wasn't a great mid-range or 3 shooter, wasn't a great rebounder, etc...just another undersized PF.

To say that NC is better than Blake is stupid.

I agree with the majority, Nate was barely D1 material. Great heart and production during mid-season last year but not an offensive threat. Blake is still green in many ways but has shown flashes of offense. He will have to develope some type of game (shootingwise) from 4 feet out to be legit, however.

Nates play early in the season didn't merit more playing time. Before he caught fire in conference play many were wondering where was this great one-on-one scorer that many of us had heard about.

Blake Griffin isn't even the best scoring threat on our team right now. That's Longar Longar or Tony Crocker. Especially against the better teams we've played. Against Memphis, USC, Arkansas, and Gonzaga, Longar has been our leading scorer at just under 13 a game. Crocker is 2nd at about 11 per game. Blake has scored about 8 a game.

Yeah. Joey Halzle was our leading passer this year against Texas Tech. I like Crocker but he hasn't seen a double team all year and he won't and we don't run the offense through Crocker every time we can down the court. Longar has been very good of late and probably right now is our second scoring threat.

Nate Carter averaged 16.5 points per game in conference play. Most of that despite seeing double teams and having no real other help from the rest of the team outside of a few good games from Longar. None of our players right now are even close to that right now.

No. The moment Nate Carter saw any double teams or teams took away the drive to the basket his scoring dropped off and that is why he went from averging about 18-19ppg in conference play in mideseason to scoring 12ppg down the stretch of the last 9 games. Blake Griffin sees double teams all the time. I'm not suggesting that his game is polished or that there aren't things he can work on but even so he is producing more than any freshman in recent memory ..like since Jeff Webster

If someone is barely div 1 material they don't averaged 16.5 points per game in conference play.

His last 6 games when we won 1 game he scored 6, 22, 14, 20, 13, and 12. That's 14.5 points per game and he scored 6 in one of those games. 16.2 the other 5 games. The 20 point game was against Kansas so was the 6 point game.

Again 16.5 points per game in conference play. And before conference play he had 1 game when he played 20+ minutes against Liberty. Once conference play began he played a lot and scored a lot and was pretty consistent.

Longar was a 2 ppg player under Kelvin. He would have ben our next Josef Szendrei, a guy we put in for minutes when we need a big guy that can go in, foul someone hard, and fire up the team. Under Capel he's one of the team leaders, and a serious scoring threat.

SleestakSooner
12/30/2007, 12:56 AM
Longar stepped up and has tried to lead the team. I believe it is Capel's influence that helped him do that.

I also loved the way Austin Johnson took the role of team leader and ran the point the best I have seen at OU in a long while. If he can keep that up and Crocker and Godbold continue to pitch in this team will be a tough match for most anyone.

I am still in shock at how well they played tonight and how they were able to switch gears and still compete and win.

Oh and by the way, believe the hype. Blake Griffin is here to win and played the best game yet of his young career!

Blake Griffin gets what percentage of his points in the half-court sets? A lot are in transition or off offensive rebounds. I don't know about you, but when I hear that a player is a scoring threat, I think of someone who can score in the half-court offense. Blake Griffin, while way, way more talented than Nate Carter, isn't a better scorer in the half-court offense right now. Of course, I've only seen about five games. But based on what I saw, it's not even close.

Nate Carter was a poor man's Jerry Stackhouse. He drove to the basket, got fouled, and made his free throws. And 48% from the field is pretty damn good for someone playing on the outside.

Ummm hello! Blake Griffin is still a freshman and has a great deal to learn. Anyone who is out there comparing him to a JuCo Transfer senior who didn't show his best game until late in his final season is ridiculous!

Blake has been showing signs of being able to post up and drive to the hoops lately. He is a monster on the boards and runs the court almost as well as a guard.

All of that while being double and triple teamed by most teams. I think the kid is in good hands under Capel and will be a wunderkind if he decides to stay in college long enough to develop his game.

Well, that's what several posters were doing. Comparing Carter last year to Griffin. Yes, he's a freshman. I didn't say he'll never be a better scorer than Carter, just that, right now, he's not as good a scorer as Carter was last year. He's obviously 1) a better rebounder, 2) a better defender, 3) more athletic, and 4) better suited for the NBA, given his size and athleticism.

No doubt. I think Kelvin had his "A" players and his "B" players. Players like Najera, Hollis Price, Quannas White, etc. were "A" guys that Kelvin managed to polish pretty well while they were here. Guys like Victor Avila, Renzi Stone, Oleg, Michael Cano, etc. were "B" guys that didn't seem to make a lot of improvement. Heck, Tim Heskett actually seemed to get worse between his Junior and Senior seasons. He seemed like he was nearly automatic from long range early on and then it just went away.

Don't bother listening to some idiots (LittleWingSooner) and their outrageous comments and you'll be better off. Yes I totally agree that Blake needs to develop his offensive game. But with all else he brings to the team it is still better to have him on the floor than not.

Heskett wasn't the same shooter after he hurt his hand, thumb i believe. that's not really on Kelvin.

Cano was a walk-on.

Oleg and Cano were walk-ons that barely palyed. I can see maybe replacing those guys with maybe Ebi Ere and Taj Gray

Heskett was hurt. Also he only got better on defense.

Other guys on that A list are Ace Mcgee and Nolan Johnson. Ryan Minor improved a lot under Sampson also. Corey Brewer and Nate Erdmann were stars.

Renzi Stone got better he just didn't have a lot of offensive ability.

Heskett wasn't the same shooter after he hurt his hand, thumb i believe. that's not really on Kelvin.

Cano was a walk-on.

you gotta give KS credit for guys like Nolan Johnson, Ace, Michael Johnson, Eric Martin, Daryan Selvy, Johnnie Gilbert etc.

Kelvin was did some great things at OU...He taught toughness and Hustle and it got him some nice records, Big XII Championships, and trip to the final 4....the only problem I had with him was consistent offensive production and development of big men.

It seems that OU was a place the 6'11 athletes came to flounder and not flourish....I feel that Capel has done wonders with Longar, I'm sure he will have a few busts in his career too, I'm just giving the guy credit when its due!

Blake Griffin gets what percentage of his points in the half-court sets? A lot are in transition or off offensive rebounds. I don't know about you, but when I hear that a player is a scoring threat, I think of someone who can score in the half-court offense. Blake Griffin, while way, way more talented than Nate Carter, isn't a better scorer in the half-court offense right now. Of course, I've only seen about five games. But based on what I saw, it's not even close.

Nate Carter was a poor man's Jerry Stackhouse. He drove to the basket, got fouled, and made his free throws. And 48% from the field is pretty damn good for someone playing on the outside.

I agree that Griffin has got to get better with his back to the basket...don't forget though that he was a Forward type in High school and is developing those skills on a game by game basis....I felt like he missed some good scoring opps against WVU, but his ceiling is ridiculous. Capel will have him coached up by the end of the year!

Oleg and Cano were walk-ons that barely palyed. I can see maybe replacing those guys with maybe Ebi Ere and Taj Gray

Heskett was hurt. Also he only got better on defense.

Other guys on that A list are Ace Mcgee and Nolan Johnson. Ryan Minor improved a lot under Sampson also. Corey Brewer and Nate Erdmann were stars.

Renzi Stone got better he just didn't have a lot of offensive ability.

Man, Renzi was good at drawing fouls, though. And I mean that totally seriously; he just seemed to have a knack for getting guys to run him over for a charging call.

I know the season is just getting going, but it is pretty clear that the players respond to Capel. His is a really good recruiter, and he is proving to be a pretty good if not real good game coach. For us to be 12-3 as opposed to 10-5 or 9-6 right now is exciting. If we can go 10-6 or even 9-7 in conf play then he will have won me over completely.

Our guards are inconsistent and Blake Griffin at 50% and his brother are not enough to carry the team. That's the bottomline.

The last part, I couldn't disagree with more. You're bound to have one or a couple of dud games in a season but if there's been one consistent thing under Capel, it's been effort.

You guys are treating it like he took over a Baylor type program or something. There's enough talent at Oklahoma to win games and be competitive in most games. There was last year. This year we weren't even competitive on the road against by far the worst team in the conference and we looked like a team that didn't care on defense in the 2nd half. And on offense they just shot 3 after 3 without even trying anything else. They weren't prepared for Colorado at all. You don't shoot the ball from 3 26 times against a zone just because it's open. I would rather see them go down to Blake or Taylor Griffin in triple teams 26 times instead of shooting 3s.

Ash
2/10/2008, 07:29 PM
Good ****ing grief. Do we have to go over this every week for the tards out there?

Capel inherited Sampson's bench players. He's taken that and a few other players and tried to put it together with freakin' duct tape and bailing wire. He turned a tall, skinny guy that averaged something like 2 pts and 5 min. a game under Sampson into one of the best post players in the conference.

You take away the starting five from any team except Kansas in this league, a thrown together recruiting class, and let's see how many games you win, LWS.

It's going to take a couple years just to get some depth at all the positions and fill the rosters with Capel's guys. Add to that the fact that some players need time to develop. Blake's the exception to freshmen, and in fact still could use some polishing of his game.


Jiminy christmas, people. I can understand being disappointed by the performance in the game but declaring the program DOA is just retarded.

No joke. And this isn't a slam against our players, the newer guys might develop into great players. But, OSU has more talent on paper than OU. So does Baylor. So does Kansas State. Kansas is Kansas. Texas has more talent. aTm has more talent on paper.

At CU, they've got a great scorer who was ineligible last year and Roby is an NBA prospect. Yes we should have beat them this year, but it's not a lead pipe cinch lock.

Basically, we're about tied with Texas Tech and CU on paper. Role players, a couple of decent players, and one NBA prospect.

Iowa State and Nebbish, we've got more - supposedly.

That's the reality, at least the way LWS sees things.

Then there's the fact that Capel and staff have elevated that team above what they should be and elevated expectations at the same time.

Don't be fooled, Capel has done more with less than half the league. That in itself sells me on this guy.

That being said, our 2007 team will surprise you, I think. They will get a couple of wins in conference you don't expect, get a couple of losses you don't expect, but be a tough out for everyone.

Funny, but it's clear to me that our guards are fairly interchangeable. None of them are supers. They give us some good minutes from time to time, and some bad minutes as well. But, clearly, the two guys we could least afford to lose are BG and LL, and they really need each other to be successful. Now we are facing the rest of the season (possibly) without LL, and there is no logic that places that at the feet of Capel. As I said earlier in the thread, next year is the year we must start seeing improvement. Until now, he's just trying to assemble 5 that gives him the best chance to win on any given night, and his two best players are less than 100%. Hardly stands reason to blame him.

What we will soon see in the next few years will be closer to Billy Ball but with great defense and better shot selection. And I was raised on Billy Ball so that's not a slight.

Don't worry the, when we go through a scoring drought next year, everyone will want him gone and talk about how great Billy Tubbs was

Hey, you are man enough to admit it, and I got respect for that. I see no reason to hold people's feet to the fire.

The moment he is offered a job where Hoops doesnt play 2nd fiddle to Football, he is gone......

Dont get too cozy with him

OUstud will be playing the part of LWS.

"Fire Jeff. There's no excuse for this kind of play. Johnson, Godbold, and Longar were all very very highly recruited guys and they never panned out and it's totally Jeff's fault. Louisville isn't that good, they only beat Boise State (speaking of, Bob Stoops sucks too)."

:rolleyes: It's nice not having him around anymore...

He'll be back under a different name eventually. He's obsessed with sharing his stupid opinions with the world so much that he can't stay away from message boards and have a real life.

picasso, the season is over. Look at the big picture, louisville was one game. Fact is, this was in reality a pretty sorry team that JC managed to turn into a jewel. I expected to fight for 6th place in the Big XII, an NIT bid would have been barely acceptable, with an NCAA bid and a 10-12 seed being a really good year, yet, big picture, we finished 4th in the conference, got the 3rd best NCAA seed in the conference and won a freakin' game in the first round. Throughout that Louisville game I was just thinking about what a great season it was, despite running into one of the top 10 teams in the country if not higher playing at the top of their game. You're type of thinking should have never crossed our minds. Wait till he has some real talent.

I agree, the big picture needs to include guards who can create, score and shoot. a long lost art in recent OU basketball.

Don't look now but that Lewieville team just bent Tennessee over. They could very well be cutting down the net in 10 days. OU would have made it to the Sweet 16 against about 55% of the 32 man field, but not against the Cardinals.

Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure.

We got crushed. But, Capel's a no-excuses kind of guy. We'll be back there, and we'll play better when we get there again.

I AM SO SICK OF THIS THREAD! I thought it was dumb the first day I saw it. Its time to pull this one down. We had a coach turn his back on our program and tried to leave for the "greener" side. Look at what we were given. A team who lost 3 McDonald's All Americans, a very decent line up, a University who has a fan base that spreads throughout the country, and a University who prides themselves on both their academics as well as athletics. I believe we have turned a leaf as a program with Capel. Even though Kelvin was great--all of the 'necks and 'hicks wanted Billy Ball. Well, here you go! A fast paced offense with guard movement faster then Kelvin had. On top of that Willie Warren is coming in, and by the way-he is the real deal. I make it a point to go to any of my Alma's games. Yes -The LNC takes a lot away from the game, but it is, has, and always will be a proud program. It is time for everyone to get together and get behind this program and The University of Oklahoma. I am 100% behind Capel and I wish him and my alma the best. It is time for the rest of the Alumni, student body, and the rest of the Oklahoma fans to get out there and do the same.
