Trae Young
-
Yeah it bodes well for KU as does he dad wanting him at a blue blood. KU is still close enough that they could go to all his games and make momma happy too.
-
@BShark Wondering who the 3rd school he still might be considering? - -Surely NOT Kentucky. - From the people I’ve been talking with these Kentucky people ALL have said they are not even a player of consideration/nor have they been for some time. Something to the effect Coach Cal had kind of cooled on the recruitment of Trae with all the commitments they had received. - -Makes me wonder, as far as I knew it was down to us & Oklahoma – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 Supposedly Oklahoma State has picked up recruiting Trae, as he went on an unofficial visit there within the last month. But honestly it is a two horse race between KU and OU.
-
Which is surprising seems how Oklahoma St has signed two Top 100 point guards already.
I think the local aspect of Oklahoma St kept them in his recruitment.
I expect KU to win this battle, Self has spent too much time recruiting him to lose out.
-
Either Texas Tech or Oklahoma St.
-
I bet the third school is UK for announcement hype.
-
Lol UK would take Trae in a second.
-
Apparently Trae might not have even been at the UF OU game. If more comes out on this I will post.
-
@BShark from everything I’ve heard I believe he is surpose to be here on the 4th right? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
From young I Will Be Announcing my Commitment Date Later This Week
️ #ComingSoon 
️
-
Does the red heart mean ou?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Idk, but the more that comes from his camp the more I think he is going to struggle. Daddy is too involved. Trying to make a big show of nothing. Announcing the date he will be announcing? Are you f***ing kidding me? Commit. Go play hard. Pray and thank God you were gifted the athletic ability to be able to play basketball for your career. And more likely than not, retire a very wealthy person at a young age.
This “look at me” crap drives me absolutely bananas.
-
@Kcmatt7 think the red heart would be girlish, hmmmm who is like that?
-
@Kcmatt7 how on earth does Self not have a break down keeping up w/all this
?
-
When you make what he makes you learn to deal with it…I know I would…
-
-
@Kcmatt7 to much
Where’s SZ? Just what we need!
-
Matt Scott who has maintained a close relationship with trae says he can’t confirm whether he will be visiting or not this weekend. Let’s hope he does lock in to come…
-
@BeddieKU23 Have got to feel if he doesn’t - -then that’s possibly not such a good sign. - -he was surpose to be here earlier but couldn’t make it because off weather - -and if he cancels again then I think - - not good – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well he could be playing basketball Saturday as well. All Matt says was not sure to someone who asked. I know we all think he will be here and he has 5 days to make it happen

I don’t like some of the recent developments that seem to be occurring. This would be a brutal miss.

Care to elaborate?
It’s not like anything of substance has been in the news other than he will announce his final 3… sounds like he didn’t make the trip to the OU game.
I’m certainly not thinking otherwise with anything that has hasn’t happened recently
-
Not as bothered now that it’s pretty much official that he was not at the UF OU game. Would have been a bad sign if he had visited and then said I’m gonna make my decision soon.
-
…on the other hand, after watching OU get punked at home by Florida, he might have ruled them out…
-
I was confident it was KU leading up to the canceled visit due to the ice storm that wasn’t. OU is absolutely pushing now. Fingers crossed.
-
While we did not end up getting much ice here, if I understand correctly, they had ice in Oklahoma.

OU Has always been pushing.
All the recent activity had been KU especially as he led on that he would take a visit as well as self getting to visit him multiple times.
I think he’s right on target to pick KU. If I’m wrong well we won’t enjoy the 2 times we play him a year
-
Well I just watched an interview with Trae and his dad Ray last night on the Oklahoma Ford sports Blitz with Dean Belivns & John Holcomb - - was like a 10 minute interview , - -not a lot from it other then him saying again how he was going to announce his commitment day some time this week & being down to three schools but he said he wasn’t going to say who they were.
The only thing I hear really of anything at al, they asked Trae what would be some of the things that make a huge impact on his school he announced to. - -Trae said one would be the relationship with the Coach , said with him being a point guard was going to be relating to the Coach a lot - -and the other he said he would be looking at past players that was playing that position - - point and looking how they developed while at the school he chooses. - - We will see - I just hope all the negative pub being thrown out now hinders our recruitment with his mom wanting him to stay close to home.
One quick note too just now Fran said he talked to Trae before the OU -Okla State game tonight - so ya - -he is at the game - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 Nice - - - - This was in the students section , only thing is - -wasn’t up very long , Oklahoma Compliance had security make them take it down - - as it is a RECRUITING VIOLATION - - very nice lol - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Hmmm. some interesting statements from so OU fans. - - Under a thread , do you think we have any chance of really landing Trae Young:
Loved this one: - - KU does not seem to be the place for guards to excel. - -Self’s system is post orientated. Next: - - Hopefully he sees how the state of Oklahoma reacted last summer when a stud hoops player opted to leave Oklahoma and go play for the enemy - - -my only question/response to that would be - - STUD hoops player from last summer? - -who may that of been? - -And you think if Trae chooses to go elsewhere he is really THAT concerned how you reacted?
The we have this - - Kid And Dad ego driven head cases - - -Nice. – The you have the ever so popular - -he said they have a source , that has a source, that has a inside source that says - - OU is out of the Trae Young race Another says shortly after Trae tweeted that he would make his announcement about his decision time - -shortly after he tweeted that - they said he tweeted out "- GO POKES " - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I’m assuming Jakolby Long who ended up at Iowa St from the 16 class. Top 100 kid who’s only played in 5 games this year…
-
Rumours are swirling right now, it will be nice once this one is over.
-
@BShark Any new rumors? anything juicy? lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
The big one right now is that it’s done for OU.
-
I saw that and laughed. Supposedly coming from a Oklahoma ST insider.
I agree, I can’t wait til its over.
-
Yeah I need to tune this stuff out but I like looking. Sure hope it’s KU.
-
Knowing that Matt Scott will basically let 247 know when something is going down because of his relationship with the family I’m confident until something changes. We may have our opinions of Matt but in this case there is no person closer to the situation for KU…
-
Matt is a good dude imo. Edit: And yes very tied into this recruitment.
-
Yes he does a thankless job really.
A side note, I expected the craziness to come especially as his decision appears to be coming soon. It’s funny how much peoples opinion’s change in an instance with zero credible information to back it up. I do hope he makes the visit this weekend as was talked about… If he doesn’t well he really will be throwing fans for a loop.
-
Yeah. Did you see his post about Chris Walker awhile back?
For anyone wondering Walker basically messaged him at random saying he committed to Kansas only to later message that he was joking.
-
Chris Walker, a kid that just had a terrible upbringing and made bad decisions all along the way. I wonder where he is now, kid had a lot of potential that got wasted… I thought that was some crazy insight he shared
-
NBA D league
-
Good for him, honestly that is a kid that could have easily ended up in jail for a long time. I remember his back story being really tough, grew up in a really poor/low income area in Florida. Was surrounded by a lot of bad stuff.
-
Definitely. Similar to Jamari. I believe Chris’s mom died when he was young.
-
@BShark and that’s why coaches give the guys a second chance.
-
@BShark Well, that’s not such a bad thing for us lol right? - - you do mean that they are our of the running right? - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BeddieKU23 Where di you se that? lol - - I like snooping getting false hopes so just to be let down lmao = - makes my heart go pidder pat - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
the trae young thread on phog * Oklahoma State insider says he has info that Young and his dad met with Kruger this week to iron things out. And that he will commit to ou. FWIW*
Funny how this week means only Monday seems how its Tuesday… It’s a good rumor
-
@BeddieKU23 Well I reckon if he does he does – I don’t se the logic in that with all the young talent they have there already and like some one else pointed out, looks like to me they already have their point guard for the future already there. - - kind of off sets another remark from a OU guy saying right after Trae announced when he was going to ANOUNCE - -he tweeted out GO POKES, - -THAT to me doesn’t sound like someone that’s going to announce for OU. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
