[cvangild]

Texas Tech? lol

That's where his dad played. Why is that so many for them to make a top 11 list??

 

[vbdad]

We should be in his top 5.

 

[OUHoops]

Top 11, huh? Why stop there? Should've gone to 12-13.

 

[bgrch1350]

Whats the point of a top 11 list? Thats basically saying you are wide open.

How many "package deals" end up working out? Not many.

 

[touchmall]

Agree. But these two have already shown their commitment to staying together. the common 6 schools are for a reason. Sometimes package deals do happen

They're a package deal IF they choose one of the first six schools on your list.

But, in reality there is no sure thing in recruiting. Willie Warren and Phil Forte were lifelong friends who were said to be a "package deal." You already know how that turned out. Does that mean Porter and Young won't sign with the same school? Of course not. Every school on your list of six except Missouri would be a good choice.

You may be right in the end. Then again, a lot of things can happen between now and the April signing period, just as it did with WWIII and Forte.

I think you mean Rotnei Clarke.

If they are a package deal, why do they have different schools on their lists? Wouldn't they be coordinating the school lists?

Phil Forte would support my point because he was a package deal with Marcus Smart, which is why he didn't come to OU. OU didn't offer Forte.

Trea & Michael have always had several common teams and a couple different schools. Several months ago Porter released a top 15 then shortly after came out with a top 15 +1 and the + one was OU to match Trae.

There is a third member that has now come into play and that is Marques Bolden. Trae and Marques have also said they would like to play together and they also share several common schools Marques has talked about these 5 schools Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, OU & TCU. ( notice the first 3) They are all 3 talking about one and done, but in IMO only one at this time has that possibility.

OU did offer forte. FYI

I know its wrong at times but OU offered Forte. They wanted him without Smart, if he choose to go elsewhere.

I didn't know this about Trae:

His father, former Texas Tech guard Rayford Young, played professionally in Portugal, which added one stop. His father later served as a graduate assistant for Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson, which is how Young found himself in Oklahoma.

 

[kbsooner]

Is Trae being recruited as PG?
