Bryce Thompson timeline?

Why do people keep comparing OU basketball to Kansas football. That is downright silly.
 
Bill Self can talk about his “system” all he wants. It seems to turn very talented guys into mediocre NBA players. Look at what Trae is doing, and think about what Kansas players usually do in the league.

Was Paul pierce the last all star from Kansas before Joel?
 
There’s Wiggins, but he’s largely been disappointing. The Morris twins have had decent careers. Ennius is a Star, but he barely played at KU.

I think so. From a very quick search, it looks like only those two and Manning have been all-stars in the past 40 years. If Buddy and Trae go to an all-star game in the next year or two, I think we'll have tied them over that time period. That's amazing to me.
 
Lon’s classier than I am, but if I were him, I’d be pushing hard the fact that Bill Self just doesn’t create NBA stars.

It is flat out disrespectful and it shows they don’t know **** about ou hoops. Ou hoops is a top 25 program all time. Ou hoops is the best program to never win it all. These are undisputed facts. Ku football is a dumpster fire.

Actually, we would be ahead based on your timeframe because Mookie Blaylock was an All-Star back in 1994. Of course, it's moot until Trae and Buddy make it, but Trae is well on his way this year.
 
Per Bill heistan

Trey Phipps signs at 2:45 and Bryce will not sign today
 
From Bill Haisten's column today...

Wednesday is the first day of an eight-day NCAA signing period. Trey Phipps, Thompson’s Booker T. Washington teammate, signed with OU on Wednesday.

For Bryce Thompson, there is the option of waiting until April to sign his letter of intent. The extra time would give the Thompsons a chance to monitor NCAA-Kansas developments. In September, Kansas received from the NCAA a notice of rules-violations allegations.

Rod Thompson says there be no waiting. He says Bryce “definitely” will sign his Kansas letter of intent this week.

A few OU notes from the column...

Pooh Williamson now is an OU assistant. Williamson was Thompson’s predecessor at TU’s point-guard position, and they’ve been friends since they were little guys in Beggs.

...

Rod Thompson paraphrases some of Self’s winning pitch to Bryce: “Elite players go to elite schools. If you’re an elite quarterback, you go to OU. If you’re an elite basketball player, you go to Kansas. You were custom-built for this.”

What about all those elite point guards in the league from Kansas, Bill?

Yeah, I know Self has put some decent bigs in the league (Morris bros.. Jackson, Embiid, Oubre, Wiggins, Gooden) but his track record with guards is not great at all. Graham is having a good year so far this year, but even if you threw in Brandon Rush & Mario Chalmers, not one G has made a big impact or even average double figures in the NBA. Rush & Chalmers are the only ones that made a "career" out of the NBA.

Considering the number of 4 & 5 stars or Mickey Ds he's recruited, that is pretty lame.
 
I know Wiggins was tall but he is/was essentially more of a guard right?
