Rumor???

alexann yancy (sp?) was off the roster on ss.com before sherri said anything publicly...

well then i got nothing. I figured they would wait until the coach officially announces something before they changed the website
 
Maybe what this lack of info means is that Taylor has not actually been taken off the team. If he's being disciplined by Capel, or even if he's telling his friends/family that he wants out, maybe there's a chance that some 11th hour compromise can be reached and he'll remain a Sooner after all.

Let's hope so, anyway. I was sure looking forward to seeing this kid play for OU.

This, and the last thing I want is another high caliber sooner recruit playing for a rival.
 
Guerin Emig just tweeted that he has left the team but "it's not official".
 
He's a reporter for the Tulsa World. I imagine we'll hear something official soon.
 
well daaaang... i have a friend on the team, but i feel awkward asking him about basketball kinda.. but i should see him this weekend.. ill see what i can get out of him & let you know!

Better hurry up and ask him, your friend may be gone soon
 
Big props to OUGuy11 on this. He nailed it before anyone in the local media picked up on it.
 
What about graduation rates? Isn't ou going to be screwed on all these transfers/early entries?

I really hope this is wrong and Taylor stays.
 
It's official. Goodbye T.J.
(OU Sports Information)

University of Oklahoma head men's basketball coach Jeff Capel announced tonight that freshman T.J. Taylor has left school due to personal reasons.

"T.J. is dealing with some things personal in nature and he informed me today that he is leaving our program," said Capel. "We wish circumstances were such that T.J. could remain with us, but we are certainly sensitive to his situation. We wish him the best."

Said Taylor, "This is something I felt I needed to do at this time of my life. I love Coach Capel and the staff at OU, and I wish everyone on the team the best of luck."

Taylor, a 6-3 guard from Denison, Texas, who was a three-time all-state player at Denison High School, sustained an injury during preseason workouts this year and did not play in any OU games.

Capel added that Taylor informed the OU staff of his plans to transfer to a junior college.
 
I really find this unacceptable. Why is it so hard for Capel to keep this talent? Are we gonna have nine new players next year as well? We should just keep a countdown tally on ouhoops that keeps track of players leaving the program.
