That 247 article seems quite positive to me. Bolden said he had a good time, it was second visit to Norman, he really liked the players and coaches. The players all seem to get along and all like Coach Kruger a lot. He said the offense was appealing to him He said OU impressed him in that they seem to think they offer him something different from the other teams recruiting him. (Probably being the star player versus one of many star players but that was not said in the article).
He then mentions trips to Duke and KU. Said good things about both schools but came back to OU. Saying he has a strong interest in OU and just needs to think about what is best for him. He said he had no time table but relationship with the head coach and staff, other players and type of offense are really important to him. His other quotes suggest OU met those criteria.
He never mentioned proximity. My take, OU has a legitimate shot but I think we need to recognize this kid has offers from all the top programs, many of which have better basketball reputations than OU. Hopefully OU can land him.
