You just need an assistant's position available for every highschool McDonald's All-American.
Remember when Kansas hired Danny Manning's dad?
Or, when Kim Mulkey hired the AAU coach that brought the top six players on the last title team with him as he joined her staff?
Or, like when Kellen Sampson came to OU to play for his father, Kelvin.

hahaha.
How about when we recruited William Tisdale, because he had a certain little brother....
"But sometimes there's a man, sometimes there's a man. Well, I lost my train of thought here", V-man.
Maybe, but I think Taylor would have been recruited even if he didn't have little brother. William, not so much.
That's reasonable. But the same principal. You can find guys like Taylor most places. His brother, not so much.
Speaking of a great group of Oklahoman brothers, I favored the Bookouts from Stoud. Kevin (basketball), Kyle (track and field) and Casey (baseball). Kevin was a baller on the court. I'm sure following the siblings had quite a lot to do with Kevin playing basketball as Sooner.
Dude, I had to go in there and take another look:

Dios Mio! I can't believe I have forgotten how good Kevin could throw the stone.
I can't let go of this Sibling Thread until I say how Happy I was when Tinker came to OU and made a name for HIMSELF! Yes, at first, he WAS Steve's 'Little Bro', but then he developed and made a Great Contribution to the Sooner Tradition! Thank You, Team Owens, for Great Sooner Memories!
