TMG rumors.

[ndpruitt03]

According to Hale it is 50/50 if TMG comes back. Probably means it's actually 90/10 he'll be here because of how unreliable Hale is.

[OKC-SLC]

as opposed to going where?

[ndpruitt03]

It sounds like transferring to me. But it's all rumor at this point.

[OUmillenium]

Charli's oompa loompas are looking for a tough gangsta tatted pg, I hear.

[oumartin]

yeah, big whoop if he leaves. if he doesn't wanna play for capel and OU then adios.

that's how I feel about any of em. I dont' care how good they are.


Capel needs to do a little better job getting to know his recruits though before he offers them. He was pretty much an 0 fer on last years recruits.

[...sooner]

i hope he stays & i hope he wants to play for capel. TMG is gonna turn into a great point guard. all the improvement he made this year. teach him some defense & hes pretty solid!

[owenfieldreams]

If he leaves, it'll be for the NBA. There's a lot more to this story than meets the eye. Suffice it to say, it's probably more a 60/40 chance he'll leave but it's not a Capel issue.

[NormanPride]

I am so damn sick of the drama of this team. Scorched earth, I say.

[okienole3]

This year's draft class will go down in infamy.

[ndpruitt03]

TMG is gone.

[soonervegas]

Is that official or I heard something from a jock sniffer?

[ndpruitt03]

It's not official yet. But it is pretty reliable.

[oumartin]

well if it's true then adios amigo.

I'm tellin' ya I am starting to worry a bit about our coach a little. I hope Joe C. understands Capel is still young and hasn't learned all he has to learn and I hope Capel has learned that he might wanna invest a little more time and get to understand the Character of future recruits a tad better

[yankee]

****.



if this is true, then next season is probably going to be just as ****ty as this one..."hopefully" just from a lack of talent and depth, and not maturity/commitment issues. :rolleyes:

[Eielson]

TMG is gone.

According to...

[Piware]

Well, TMG - have a nice life...just don't have it here.

[ndpruitt03]

There's no link. I'm not giving away who has said this. But it's reliable. TMG thinks he's too good for the college game. He cleared out his locker and left for Houston.

[oumartin]

maybe he went to go get his defense.

[Eielson]

I want to make up a rumor now! Cade Davis declared for the draft! It's reliable.

[Collier11]

This thread is dumb...Nick weve talked about this **** before, unless you have a link or are prepared to tell us where the info is coming from, dont post it

[Mongo]

I heard from a reliable source that Collier is coming out of the closet.

[Collier11]

yea, had your girl in there :D

Well sure, even "your people" ask for shoe advice from time to time...

[birddog]

ok, so basically our basketball program will be crushed for a few years if this team dissolves.

gee whiz, thank the Big Man we have football.

[rawlingsHOH]

Another typical Micky D's prima donna.

For every Blake Griffin there are a dozen dooshbags.

[soonerfan28]

I would rather suck for a few years w/guys who wanna play at OU than have another season like this one w/guys who think they are bigger than the team.

It's gonna be a looooong offseason discussing the future of this program.

[ndpruitt03]

I think getting rid of the trash is actually a good thing for OU.

[badger]

I really thought Capel was the right guy for OU. He was upbeat, fired up for games and seemed to be good at motivating his teams to get excited to play.

This past year, it almost seems like it was the Griffin boys more than anyone else that was responsible for OU's success.

It makes me love Blake and Taylor more (not to mention Ma and Pa Griffin, who made me smile every time they cut away to them in the crowd), but like Capel less.

It there were any players we needed to hold onto for next season, it was Cade and TMG.

This next season will be Capel's fifth year. The results this coming season, I think, will largely dictate whether or not Capel stays for the sixth.

[CrimsonCommando]

Rally song for remaining players...

their hoops program is in serious trouble. first, they've got the ncaa to deal with because the news that Gallon was getting money from somewhere is not exactly "new". its been floating around out there for a while.

so, Warren, Gallon and TMG are going to transfer, plus Crocker is graduating, they have limited new talent coming aboard.

they will be ****astic next season. ha ha ha ha. looking forward to the extension of BU's win streak over OU in men's hoops.

--hold on didnt baylor beat texass 3 times?! whata loser

And wrestling...5th in the nation this past weekend...and we return some great talent.

[Collier11]

and baseball is 18-2, come on now

[MiccoMacey]

and baseball is 18-2, come on now

See...that's two sports outside of football that we're still good at...wrestling and baseball. And one of them is a legitimate "Big Three" sport (and the other one, baseball, is catching on in the US as well, so there's always hope for that little sport). :)

Looks as though it may be official. What really gets to me is how these kids blow off their priviledges of getting a great education. He left OU not even mid way thru the semester. Lord i hope Ray McCallum commits to us or we are screwed with no scholarship PG

[btk108]

yea, had your girl in there :D

yep...and reports are he had no idea what to do

[Picaninny]

Any one remember this exchange, the beginning of the end? Maybe he didn't like loud noises in his ear.

He had a dream team with the Griffin brothers.....now he's paying his dues. He's young, he's learning, dont' write him off. If he leaves, he'll figure it out and be winning somewhere else. I have to think he learned a hard lesson this year about chemistry.

[Collier11]

Ill put my money that Capel comes back with a fury

TMG...don't let the door hit you in the ***. If you didn't learn anything from Wayman Tisdale this year, then you never will. You Prima Dona's make me sad.

[Breadburner]

Some of them have all the attitude and none of the sucess.....

[badger]

Also, guys, keep in mind that it was just a source cited, not TMG himself. Perhaps he hasn't made his decision yet and just needed some time over Spring Break to think it over. A lot has happened this past season, a lot of unexpected losing and attitude issues and early offseason-ness.

[Collier11]

According to Draft Express and TMGs mom he has not made a final decision yet but he does want to test the draft waters before he decides

[the_ouskull]

Let me help him out with that... an undersized point guard with a limited outside shot against larger opponents who hasn't shown the ability to properly run an offense without a multitude of both turnovers and bad attitudes...

Reality: Undrafted.
NBA Reality: Ha! He's a lottery lock. Just like "Tiny."

whos gonna draft him? just curious? he needs SO much more experience & needs to learn something called DEFENSE!

[Collier11]

No one will draft him but in his mind, he wants to see where he stands apparently

[Eielson]

What exactly makes people say TMG has a bad attitude? What else is there other than showing up to practice late over break, and him wanting to leave? I'd probably want to leave too if I were on a 13-18 team. I don't know if this justifies him having a bad attitude, but feel free to enlighten me.

[Collier11]

Id say if the only reason you want to leave is cus you had a losing season that lends to having a bad attitude, its about the team not yourself and he was a part of that 13-18 season even if he played pretty well at times

Watch the last like minute and a half of the Colorado game. He got pretty pissy there. And it didn't just look like frustration about losing.

I'm not saying that's the only reason he wanted to leave. I'm just saying that it would be frustrating be on a team like this.

[Collier11]

understood, Im not even saying he had a bad attitude, just basing what I said off of everyones speculation
