Capel to meet with Griffin, discuss NBA - Capel - NBA


Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel knows his chances of keeping All-America forward Blake Griffin for another season are slim.



Griffin, who will probably be named college basketball's national player of the year after averaging 22.7 points and 14.4 rebounds, will probably be the No. 1 pick in June's NBA draft if he forgoes his final two seasons of college eligibility.

Capel might have watched Griffin play his final college game Sunday, when the No. 2-seeded Sooners lost to No. 1 seed North Carolina 72-60 in the South Regional final at FedExForum. Griffin had 23 points and 16 rebounds in the loss, which prevented the Sooners from reaching next weekend's Final Four in Detroit.

Capel said he plans to meet with Griffin and his parents sometime this week to discuss the star player's future.
