T.J. Taylor named MVP of the THSCA All Star game

[GParker]

Congrats to Mr. Taylor!

North guard T.J. Taylor wanted to grab the spotlight at least once in his high school career before playing at Oklahoma next season.

He starred at Class 4A Denison, a town 70 miles north of Dallas, but didn't feel like anybody noticed.

“I'm a country boy and not a city kid,” Taylor said, “so I think everybody slept on me a little.”

Taylor, a 6-foot-3 guard, made everybody watching the THSCA All-Star Basketball Game pay attention.

He led the North All-Stars with 18 points and a crushing dunk to open the fourth quarter in a 113-95 victory over the South on Monday.

“Our team (Denison) never got out of the second round of the playoffs, so it wasn't like anybody got to see me at the state tournament,” said Taylor, who was named the North MVP. “This was the chance for people to see what I can do.”

If Cam and Newell take care of business and get in this fall, I think OU will be better than people expect; especially defensively.

 

[FaithfulSooner]

I agree Hoosier. We really need Cam and Newell to qualify. I think these kids are much better players than what some think. BOOMER SOONER BABY!!!

Really looking forward to seeing TJ. For some reason I like him more than Cam.

Congrats to "tha kid"!

I can already tell you that tj is going to be one of my favorite sooners over the next few years. Hard work and a humble attitude will take you far in life.

Cam's been saying on fb that he will now be here in august so take that for what it's worth. No idea on cal but he did lose his mom so I'd imagine it's been a rough past two months for him.

His role may be bigger with Cam and Calvin Newell in question.

From Bigtime on Cam and Cal

Cam's been saying on fb that he will now be here in august so take that for what it's worth. No idea on cal but he did lose his mom so I'd imagine it's been a rough past two months for him.

I would also like to know Cal's status if anyone has some additional info

I thought Cal was just a transcript issue with the Clearinghouse and not a qualifying issue.
