Men’s hoops: Recruiting update

By Scott Wright

Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel continues to search for either a point guard or scorer to fill Keith Clark’s vacant scholarship, and a few names seem to be falling off the list of potential recruits.

Georgia wing Travis Leslie recently gave Rivals.com his top five schools and Oklahoma was not among them. Though the Sooners seemed to be intrigued by Leslie’s athletic ability, the word on the 6-foot-6 Atlanta product is that his basketball skills are unpolished. Capel doesn’t really need to spend time waiting for a prospect to develop. He’d be better off waiting to see if Clark got his grades in order at Rose State and bringing him back instead.

Another name that has circulated on Internet message boards is Humble, Texas, point guard Garland Judkins. He’s a 6-foot-4, 200-pound slasher who the Sooners have had their eye on for a while.

But Judkins said Monday night that the Sooners haven’t been recruiting him all that heavily.

“OU is a place I wanted to go, and still would, but they haven’t been recruiting me that much,” Judkins said. “I”m mostly looking at Miami, Texas A&M and UTEP.”

Judkins’ coach, Carlos Wilson, said he hasn’t had any contact with the OU coaches recently, so it doesn’t look like Judkins is going to get an offer unless something else falls through.
