"I’m incredibly excited to have Ruffin McNeill joining what I believe is the best staff in the country, not just because he’s such a great football mind, but also because I’m not sure that I’ve ever been around a better human being. He’s a fantastic addition to this university, and I know our players will be better for having him involved in their lives."
We have never seen Stoops or any OU coach connecting with the fans and likely his players like this since may be Bud Wilkinson. Riley understands the power of perception and how to use modern media.
I can’t help but think that Riley ends up getting more out of the same players and that OU's recruiting significantly improves over the next several recruiting classes.
I can’t help but believe that OU is in the building stages that will see OU going on a great run.
