🏀 Recruiting Michigan transfer commits to TU during visit

One of the visitors I mentioned in Hurricane Alley on Monday has committed to TU...

InsideTulsaSports - Michigan transfer Isaiah Barnes commits to Tulsa

Tulsa basketball coaches picked up another key piece to its 2023-24 roster on Thursday with Isaiah Barnes' commitment.

So, Tulsa sends Anthony Pritchard a suspect 3* guard who specialized in T/O's to Central Michigan and gets a quality 4* guard from Michigan in return. That sounds like a great deal for the Golden Hurricane to me!

 

[Henry Kendall]

Welcome to Tulsa, Isaiah! Mich is my second favorite school.

This staff is definitely putting together a great class!

 

[I.I.]

He might as well bring Hunter Dickinson with him !

Would be a fair trade if Barnes was a point guard, but as is it's an apples to oranges comparison. Barnes is more of a trade for Griffin, which certainly seems like a good deal in my opinion. If this new roster isn't free of the the issues of the previous then T/O's are going to be too high for whoever is running point. That said, Konkol is now rid of at least three players that weren't willing to play in the system he wants to run and if we can add a quality big the PG position gets much easier and more productive. AP wasn't one that was asked to leave, but made a decision to move on for his own reasons, and I wish him well and think he will be very productive at CMU.

I just saw this, so I copies some of the article.... UNC Tar Heels leading scorer Caleb Love announced he would enter the transfer portal. That led to a lot of reports on the various schools interested in him. Now, Love has picked his destination, announcing on Twitter Friday he’ll be joining the Michigan Wolverines (complete with an illustration showing him in Michigan uniforms):

If you didn't have the sense to hate Michigan before, surely this will get you over the finish line.

"Tulsa, which is in Oklahoma, went 5-25 last season, including a 1-17 mark in the American Athletic Conference. The Golden Hurricane lost 19 of its last 20 games. The program hasn’t made the NCAA Tournament since 2016 -- when it lost to Michigan in a play-in game -- and hasn’t posted a winning season since 2019-20."

Anyone have any idea why Barnes didn't work out at UM? He seems mainly to have gotten garbage time.

It's all true. I can see why Michigan would bring out the negatives to the places players are transferring to, in order to negatively reinforce why they are transferring.

I like the "Tulsa, which is in Oklahoma" part. Similar to the UCLA players not knowing where Tulsa was. lol

I guess geography is not a thing in Ann Arbor, which is in Michigan.

They are too busy having their head coaches punch other coaches

He learned to write at the John Klein school for journalists, which is in Tulsa.

I bet a lot more people would be closer to placing Tulsa on a map than they would to placing Ann Arbor on a map.

Maybe it's a Big10 thing, not just a Michigan thing.

I've told this story before, but at halftime of the first Ohio State football game, when we were all under the stands during the driving rainstorm, a very drunk OSU student saw the TU contingent and told us to go back to California where we came from.

To quote Dean Wormer (to those students), “fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life”

Just to the NE of the Glenn Pool oil patch....At one time the largest in the world....

But is it...especially when you consider more than half the state is considered a reservation on tribal lands that are sovereign? 😵

Emil Faber: Knowledge is good.

At the beginning of WWII I lived in the Louisiana swamp country. Our neighbor lady said she knew where Oklahoma was. She said that she and her husband crossed the corner of OK on their honeymoon with no protection but a butcher life. "We could have been killed!", she said. Oil field Texans were hated "Jack asses". When I told Cajuns I was from Oklahoma I was OK because they had no idea where that was.
Sometimes no knowledge is good!

Wrong board.

I know...but it is along the lines of this thread...and especially true in OK

I don't know anything at all about this. I feel like there's some really interesting culture history that I'm completely ignorant about and would love to know more. Maybe a good thread for the General board...

Those butcher life's can be dangerous.

Playing along with the Animal House theme - WWII that was when the German’s bombed Pearl Harbor!

Doubtful. Michigan is a massive brand. And has one of the biggest alumni bases.

I have no idea where Ann Arbor, which is in Michigan, is in Michigan

 

[astonmartin708]

I do know where the center of the universe is.


It’s in Tulsa.
