Who is anyone kidding, Trey committed an hour before he called Frank and decommitted from TU. This is just the "official" announcement.
I seriously want to go on and reply to his tweet: Commit- <insert definition here> with a "you shouldn't use words you don't understand" comment...but that makes me look like an a$$ while he gets to be a 17 year old who doesn't know what he wants
Peer pressure has done this kid in. Great shooter but many more minutes at TU and a better education. All his buddies on the summer circuit were telling him to get out of his commitment to TU. It was whispered to the OU assistants that Phipps would sign with them if offered and the "deal" was in motion. Daddy enjoyed playing along and dragging Frank along for 2 years. The family has lost all credibility IMHO.
Jesus. I know we’re all mad but can’t we just say good riddance instead of insulting the kid’s entire family. Whether they deserve it or not?
It’s a real bad look guys.

Shouldn’t you be getting back to telling everyone how much you hate Frank?
Maybe we have someone other than Shake to complain about now. At least he never committed here.
Put yourself in Frank's shoes for the past two years. Every time he sees a similar shooter, he has to pass since he has what everyone thought was a solid commitment at that position. He still spent loads of time and money after the commitment on Trey. You may hate Frank but he saw enough in Trey to offer him a scholarship and degree worth over a quarter of a million dollars at TU when no one else cared. He stuck with his side of the deal.
I’m just thankful we have a team full of young men who never had second thoughts about playing for the college where they first committed. Can’t imagine what some of our posters would say about them and their families.
I’m as upset as anyone with this turn of events. However, trashing the kid and his father (who is the head coach at BTW btw) is a bad look. There will be other D1 players coming from that school in the near future. We should keep that in mind
Last Booker player I remember was Antonio Reed and he decided to augment basketball with “Breaking Bad”
At a certain point maybe it's time to admit that all the local kids giving us the shaft isn't a problem that should be attributed to the kids.
Good luck to him, I'd rather have the other commitments we have than him anyway. He's probably scared of playing against the big scary players of Cinn, Houston, and Memphis. This kid has Jordan Clarkson written all over him, just not as talented.
My guess is no one officially associated with OU talked to him...there are a ton of shady people around. That's why Archie Miller is going to lose his job and Arizona is going to end up on probation.
Is Amie back on here? My guess is there is a mutual associate of Kruger/Pooh (more likely Pooh) and Conley Phipps who put out a "true" hypothetical of "if OU offers would trey consider" and when the answer was "yes", said associate gave them specifics on what they needed to do.
The fact that it was more than likely Pooh pisses me off even more.
From what I hear, Bryce and Phipps aren’t exactly best friends, so I don’t think that has anything to do with it.
I don’t follow recruiting too much. Was this a non binding verbal commitment that was broken or is there more to it than that.
Not sure this is accurate. Bryce's dad is very close to Conley. Reason he is coaching at BTW and not Sapulpa. Only reason they may want to attend different schools is Bryce May want to play point.
I'm not sure Phipps will play the point in college. I certainly don't see him defending the point. He looks like more of a #2 to me.
I've heard there was some tension early last season about the green light Conley gave Trey. Bryce thought he should be getting more shots. I assume that got worked out.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. !!!! I'm looking around to see if anyone raised their hand saying they believed this.......... No hands yet...............
It'll be interesting to see what the recruiting pitch is now since TU has officially given up on being a top tier school."We'll make school as fun as a day spa and as easy as summer camp" might be attractive for non-athletes choosing between TU, NSU and TCC, which seems to be our target group, but quality athletes get that pampering anywhere. It won't stand out.
Take this negative stuff about the university to another forum. Geez.
