Transfer Portal
- Thread starter mmckell
- Start date
If he could play defense he would have played more at ORU. Good shooter. Just slow on d.
Everyone hold onto your butts - it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
Do they have a like emoji that signifies scared & excited at the same time?
Wouldn’t want him even if he wanted to.
Not really. He’s been a huge underachiever.
Plus he thinks hes THE MAN and would take away from PJ, so no thanks.

a starter in the Big 12, which is the toughest league in college basketball, averaging double figures. TU would take that. I guess you don’t like talent
There’s a difference between watching the games and knowing the game.
I have to agree with Dough here, I don’t think Thompson would improve our team. If he was 6’11” then I would say take him but as is he would just siphon minutes from players as good or better.
Same guy you're arguing with got total boners when we signed a couple guys who hadn't even managed to leave the bench at their prior schools. Go figure.
I think we have different needs than what Thompson can provide at this point. Could he contribute for us? Of course, but we need a competent big who can defend and rebound and a consistent 3pt shooter first.
Thompson wouldn’t contribute much at all for us. This shouldn’t even be an argument.
And which team is losing? Bryce's team!
That said let's not hate on anyone. If a good player wants to come here and there is a spot for them and an appropriate role, never say never.
Mostly this. But I would say another PG along with the competent big.
Huh, I thought he already had transferred. Guess he spent his transfer year on our roster. Hope he doesn't have to spend another transfer year on somebody else's roster, before he plays. I'm assuming he'll get immediate eligibility.
I think Keaston Willis is better for a one year player and you can only get either for one year. Keaston has shown his loyalty to the University of Tulsa in everything he has done.
He transferred to UT Arlington in Jan 24.
I thought he had already transferred. Why is he back in the portal, because he couldn't get playing time there? He's having a rough go at it, if so. They said he was transferring from Tulsa, guess that was a mistake on the portals info.
Just reporting from the website link somebody posted which is inaccurate it seems.
I don't know how Bryce Thompson got a 5 star high school rating ,
but it never transcended to the college game . Another case of
"Don't believe in all the hype" , He's not even close to Haggerty .
Tulsa needs 1 big (6'10"+)-- an immediate starter most likely from the portal, Reed can be the 2nd and give quality minutes off the bench. We are set at the foward positions with Garcia, Hall, Barnes, and Carlous Williams. At guards we have Haggerty, Archie, Willis, and McWright, there we could use both a point (6'2" range) and a scorer (6'6" range).
At the moment we only have two scholarships. You are saying we need 3 players in addition to Smikle that committed awhile back.
I imagine at the minimum 1 player will enter the portal, maybe 2. I imagine Hall will be the first. We'll pick up 3 or 4 in the Portal/Juco/D2.
Having a cohesive team for a year or two would be cool. It would say a lot about the coach, and I think it could make a huge difference, given how crazy college basketball is year in and year out.
That said, the chance we have less than 5 transfers is small.
