"It can't good to be Capel right now. The Mason-Griffin/Gallon recruiting class was a major coup, but it's gone after a year, and all Capel has to show for it is a 13-18 season, the worst at OU in 29 years. Reserves Orlando Allen and Ray Willis are leaving the program (presumably as transfers), leaving Capel with four returning scholarship players for 2010-11. The good news is that Capel has a solid recruiting class arriving this fall , including the No. 6-ranked small forward in the class in Cameron Clark . The bad news is that none of Capel's three recruits is a plausible replacement for Gallon in the frontcourt; Oklahoma will be playing awfully small next season.

As bad as that sounds, roster concerns might be the least of Capel's current worries. OU assistant coach and lead recruiter Oronde Taliaferro resigned last month amid rumors that he could be tied to a recruiting scandal and NCAA investigation. Anything the NCAA or any interested news organization -- like The Oklahoman, which has already been rebuffed on an open records request by Oklahoma in its pursuit of Taliaferro documents -- finds would be double-plus bad, considering Oklahoma is already on NCAA probation."

Sounds like OU will soon be on super duper double probation.

OU also has Capel on a gag order. Nobody from basketball or athletic dept is allowed to speak about any of this mess.
