Hopefully Umoja has some mojo to him.
Thanks! This is good news.
He'll have to sit out a year unless this NCAA one-year free pass comes through, yes?
I've seen him play a couple of times in person (I'm in Jenks) and I think he i better than what a lot of people give him credit for. I watched BTW play @ Jenks back in Feb, and in pre-game warm-ups...I saw Phipps hit about 15/20 from well behind the 3-pt line. Both he and Bryce Thompson had a warm-up routine where they would take turns shooting the ball while the other guy passed to him...and you could easily tell Phipps could out shoot BT any day of the week. BT is obviously more athletic and can create his shot better than TP, but I really liked TP's game.
Can he play the point in college??? I think he can at times to get them some minutes there if needed, but he'll defintely be more of a pick and pop type of player. Most sites list him at 6'2"...to me he looked a little taller than that...so he has much better size than Clarke or Page from that perspective. He also had a pretty quick release. I thing I liked most about his game was that he played with an attitude!! Talked a little trash and played with a swag...much more than BT, who played with a pretty quiet demeanor..but had a smoothness to his game.
Just my 2 cents on Phipps.
Boom!
BOOM INDEED! This is the transfer I wanted!
Corey Evans (rivals) said Mo chose OU over Auburn, Arkansas, Creighton, and SMU.
Not bad.

So he'll have two years of eligibility, regardless of when he does get cleared to play?
