A small mention of Tulsa.

Kansas recruiting target Bryce Thompson attended the invitation-only SC30 Select camp, sponsored by NBA great Stephen Curry and Under Armour, on Monday through Wednesday in the Bay Area, California.

Thompson, a 6-4 senior-to-be from Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who is ranked No. 18 in the recruiting Class of 2020 by Rivals.com, was injured, thus could not compete in drills conducted by Golden State Warriors guard Curry.

Thompson hyperextended his left elbow at the recent USA Basketball Junior National Team minicamp in Colorado Springs. The injury is expected to sideline Thompson all of August.

“He’s still learning a lot though (by being at Curry’s camp),” Rod Thompson, Bryce’s dad, said Tuesday in a direct Twitter message to The Star.


Thompson, the most highly sought after recruit in Oklahoma since Trae Young, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, averaged 25.3 points a game on 54 percent shooting (47 percent from three) for Oklahoma Run PWP on the Under Armour Circuit this past AAU season.

Thompson is considering KU, North Carolina, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Tulsa, Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Colorado and others. Rod Thompson told The Star his son is hoping to announce his finalists in the near future.

Rod tells CBSsports.com that his son will choose a school sometime after Jan. 1, 2020.

“The recruitment of Bryce is fascinating,” writes Matt Norlander of CBSsports.com. “Rod’s son is being courted by two men who were his head coach at Tulsa: North Carolina assistant Steve Robinson (two seasons) and Kansas coach Bill Self (one). UNC’s attention was captured when Bryce dropped 25 points on R.J. Hampton’s team at a tournament in Dallas in 2018. Kansas was in, too, though Rod Thompson kind of half-believed the KU offer when it was made in the spring of 2018, so much so that the family didn’t publicly announce the offer after Self made it.”


Self stressed to Rod that the scholarship offer was indeed rock solid and the family has since been convinced KU definitely has made Bryce a recruiting priority. KU and North Carolina are believed to be Thompson’s favorite out-of-state schools with in-state OU, OSU and Tulsa also in the running.

I would bet the farm that the original offer was fluff and only a place-holder until Self saw who else was available and also gave Bryce time to improve. Now Self comes back and is serious........lol........ the TU mention probably gives us a Vegas 100-1 chance.

The article makes it sound like Bryce and Rod thought the same thing.
