Oklahoma: Capel Moves up Sooner Rather Than Later



Capel Moves up Sooner Rather Than Later: At 31, new Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel is one of the fastest rising stars in the profession. Capel comes to the Sooners to replace Kelvin Sampson, who left the school to take the Indiana job. Capel coached Virginia Commonwealth for the past four seasons, leading the Rams to the post-season in two of those years. Capel inherits a squad losing its top three players in Taj Gray, Kevin Bookout and Terrell Everett but importing one of the most highly touted recruiting classes. Capel must convince those recruits to stick to their commitments and come to Norman. With all indications pointing to a bright future for the Sooners under Capel, those recruits could do worse than spend four years under his tutelage. [4/11/06]
