Old Titan Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Son of former ORU assistant coach Conley Phipps; would not be surprised if he winds up at TU, Arkansas, ORU, or somewhere else close to home: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oruvoice Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Can't imagine him going to TU with the Haith situation being so tenuous. Can't imaging him going to Arky, as they are loaded and not sure he'd get a lot of minutes. OSU maybe, due to the Sutton connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenj Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 He was never going to play at OU. It was his favorite school as it was for Conley. Would he play a lot at OSU next year? Like 15 minutes a game? Is that enough? He would be the best shooter on Tulsa's team next year but surely they are going to fire Haith if he doesn't make tourney next year. ( They won't) Now if he wants a ton of wide open looks he should come to ORU!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Does anyone know if Phipps can/will play defense? Id he just a spot up shooter, or can he create shots? ORU would seem to be a team he would consider given our penchant for shooting three pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Would also not be surprised to see Booker T's Bryce Thompson announce he's leaving Kansas after one year. Had to be a nightmare playing in Lawrence this year, and the NCAA may still lower the boom on that program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Agreed. The Kansas situation is a dumpster fire. Will be interesting to see what Thompson does. I assume that if he changes location, he will stay relatively close so his family can watch him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORU would seem to be a team he would consider given our penchant for shooting three pointers. I am not sure defense is his strong point.:) The Tulsa guy thinks he is ORU bound. He can really shoot it. Probably a better player now after a year in the weight room and playing at that level in practice. I would think he would be a take for ORU for sure. Heck, he would be the best shooter on Tulsa's team by far!:) Which isn't saying a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUJason Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Phipps was a star in high school. Does he not think he could earn enough minutes at OU next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas will try to bring in a ton of transfers this spring for next year. They are in the final group for guard Tyson Walker of Northeastern who averaged 19 pts a game. He is deciding this weekend.

I dont think he was ever going to start at OU. What is enough minutes? 10 to 12 minutes a game? Some guys are ok with that. Most aren't.

EagleManiac Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The number going into the portal is absurd. Not sure what the NCAA can do though, without totally screwing the players. Phipps would be a sweet pickup if we could get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming you are right in that Bryce Thompson will be hitting the transfer portal soon. I bet he is getting the message loud and clear.:) I don't know how he couldn't be! Maybe Tulsa bound? Or Ark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ironic: Trey's dad Conley went through the same ordeal at OU 40 years ago with Billy Tubbs; ended up transferring to NSU where he filled it up for Ken Hayes' Redmen (now RiverHawks).

ORUJason Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Bryce Thompson to TU if he decided to transfer would make a lot of sense. I do not expect Phipps to end up at ORU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
