[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 4346864, member: 15643"] The rest of the season is not only going to be rough for OU, but this couldn't be a worse situation for recruiting for not only next year but possibly for the next several. They'll still fill a roster, but not with legit dominant SEC talent. Over the last 3y my son has been to both Big12 and SEC university football camps. The difference in the way the camps are setup, the difference in the coaching interaction with the kids at the camps, and especially in the size and ability of those that show up at SEC camps vs Big12 camps is very noticeable. Not this last summer but the summer before, my son shows up at a KU camp, a sophomore in HS, 5' 11" 195lbs running a 4.6 40y and is working out with the LB crew throughout the camp. Same for the KState, OSU, OU, etc camps. At the Arkansas and Texas A&M camps both, he went to work out with the LB and both LB coaches asked him, "you supposed to be here with the LB or over with the safetys?". He told them he plays LB but will go wherever they want him, they said "Okay awesome, we're glad you're here, if you've got the skills we'll put the weight on you for LB." He was one of probably 30 LB at each and he was the smallest at the A&M camp and one of the smallest at Arkansas. At the Big12 camps he was always one of the five biggest. Sitting there taking all that in watching him and the other kids, the athletes that show up to those SEC camps so much bigger and faster at every position except for corners it seemed. I know camps aren't where programs see most of their recruits, but the difference in what recruits were looking for was very noticeable. [/QUOTE]
