Bryce Thompson Transferring

Is this good or bad you think? I mean of course any communication is good but wondering if he’s leaning another direction but giving OU one last shot, or what. Getem Porter!

IMO, this has to be a good thing. If he was already sold on OSU or TU, he wouldn't be giving OU another shot to sell him. In sales, when a prospect gives you another pitch, it is like they are looking for a reason to say yes.

It seems as if he likes the relationships and familiarity with Boynton and Heath, but they aren't 100% what he wants. Since we were in his first finalists last year, I get the feeling he really likes OU, but just needs to get that comfort with Moser and his staff.

And like CoachTalk said, no comparison when you look at the staff Moser has assembled, along with OU's recent history, on getting high-level recruits or develop players to get to the NBA. Besides our history, you have Milton, Ojeleye, Sterling Brown, Ben Simmons, maybe Tyson Jolly, and whoever comes out of Texass, like Jericho Sims.

Plenty of credentials and success Moser can sell to BT. The fact that Bryce is still listening has to be positive

Good. Full staff.

I like the way you think, MJ! Everything you said makes perfectly good sense to me. I’ll be disappointed if Bryce doesn’t pick OU. But, this is the first time since he entered the portal I feel good about our chance of landing him.

How did I become the optimist between the two of us? I have felt great about our chances since it first came out that he was unhappy in Lawrence. Usually it’s you talking me off a ledge
 
he will be wearing the jordan brand crimson and cream. the only thing that has changed since his moratorium is the staff, which he hasn't talked to before this latest meeting. so if he was conflicted about us and possibly trending our way before the patrick hire, gotta feel even better now after a full staff meeting. and no other team has a guy like groves who can open up the perimeter and make things a little easier. two years of them together is a big selling point, imo.

now, if ou_bball posts another practice snippet, no way he doesn't commit in the replies.
 
Man. I can't take it. I'm ready for college bball season

Age is the ultimate behavior modifier. Not much I can do about getting old except throw up my hands and surrender. :)
 
There’s quite rightly a lot of talk about Thompson, but don’t we have two open scholarships? Who are the candidates for the other spot?

Most point to JUCO former Arkansas commit. Fellow Aussie recruited by coach Patrick.
 
supposedly that was for the Georgia transfer or Trey alexander.

Just rumors floating.
 
Would seem to bode well for OU?

If they get Trey Alexander and/or the Georgia transfer, I think Bryce is headed to Tulsa or OU, with OU looking like the favorite. Fingers crossed.
 
to this point everyone is just guessing with Bryce. No one knows yet.
