The Kelvin Sampson fallout - Top Tier recruits may become available again!

Kelvin Sampson had a solid class of recruits going to Oklahoma in 2006. Solid class. One of the main reasons they went there was to play under Kelvin Sampson. But Kelvin Sampson is bolting out for Indiana. This means the recruits may reconsider their choices. Four of them are considered Top 100 recruits! Wow!

Oklahoma had the fifth best class in 2006 according to the latest ranking at Scout.com

The 2006 recruits for Oklahoma are:

  • Touted Point guard Scottie Reynolds from Virginia. Other teams he considered: UConn, Maryland, Michigan, NC State, UConn, Gtown, Wake

  • Touted forward Damion James from the state of Texas. Other teams he considered: Arizona, Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, NC, Syr, Florida

  • Touted forward Keith Clark from the state of Oklahoma. Other teams he considered: Charlotte, Okl State, Maryland

  • Big man Jeremy Mayfield from the state of Texas. Other teams he considered: Florida, Texas A&M, South Florida and Texas. He signed with Nevada for 2005 but did not make it academically.

  • Guard Tony Crocker frmo the state of Texas. A 2005 Oklahoma signee, hiding in prep school this year. He also considered Colorada State, and the MVC (Creighton, Wichita State and Mizzoura State)

  • Verbal from Adron Terrell, also from the state of Texas, but he is going in with a football scholarship, so he may not be affected by the Kelvin Sampson departure.

    More details can be found at http://interact.cstv.com/recruiting, and at scout.com


    If any of these players decide not to go to Oklahoma, the universities from the state of Texas should probably have the upper hand. Other universities from the west and southwest might also be able to get one of these.
