I understand the point you're making, but to be honest, ORU and Tulsa aren't competing for the same players. It hasn't always been this way, but especially since joining the AAC, Tulsa recruits a higher-level of player that wouldn't even consider ORU. So it's all about perspective. Some players work out, some don't. If you want to stick around as a coach, you need more of them to work out than not. But TU and ORU are not recruiting out of the same player pool, so I think it's hard to justify the statement, "When you get out-recruited by ORU..." It might be fair to say ORU did a better job recruiting because the players are working out for them, at their level, in their league. However, Tulsa did tie for an AAC title last season.
