Milton is a great player!
Tulsa had many Shake Milton's in years past... we just don't land the local talent anymore.

Shake's a good kid and I'm glad to see him doing so well. I wish he had stayed closer to home but that just wasn't going to happen.
Shake has shown me in no way is he a “good kid” when talking about how he talks about TU and where he went to school and for what reasons. Get off your soapbox.
Averaging 12 a game as a true freshman pretty good. A huge miss by the coaching staff, if he wanted to attend TU. My guess is we tried on Chargois but failed. Too bad looks like he might be a very good player.
GO TU!!!!

Yeah that whole situation with the other kid and the two-sport debacle really put a dark cloud over both kids in my opinion... I don’t want anyone here that talks that much crap about TU.
My understanding is From day one he said he wanted to go to school away from town. Lots of kids want the freedom of being away from home.
Weird to go to a school that isn’t very far away and is a hated rival of your home town team. He’s going to catch crap if he ever tries to get a job here. There aren’t a ton of SMU alumni hiring back home. You would think parenting would intervene at some point. Someone else good would have offered.
I mean it’s not like Larry made any promises that were too good to be true... oh wait...
The other kid is now at his 4th school. Still plays QB and led his team to an undefeated regular season this year at the NAIA level. Got blown out in the playoffs though.
I was helping run the basketball booster club his junior year, and got to meet a lot of coaches that were there on recruiting visits but never one from SMU. A lot of parents and teammates were very surprised when the decision was made.
I don't like it when hometown kids don't go to Tulsa, but that is their choice. However, they need to show some respect to their hometown team. Say some good things about them.
If the kid has shown Tulsa respect, I haven't seen or heard it. What that being the case, I will choose to root for him to miss every shot he takes.
Pat Birt's intimidation of him in win at SMU was one of the classic moments in recent TU hoops history. Completely intimidated him. Classic. Also classic was him missing in NCAA to lose the game in Tulsa. Classic because it was in Tulsa.
Hint to Tulsa: Don't give him any open shots. Don't sag off of him. Tulsa has done this in games at TU. One time nobody was within 20 feet of him. He can shoot. So make him earn it.
The SMU game this year is very winnable for Tulsa. No reason at all to lose that game.

Pat could have missed every shot the rest of his career(he sorta did) and I’d still love him after he whipped Milton’s scrawny @** in Moody
beating SMU will complete a trifecta for me - Ws for UConn, Memphis and SMU. Any other upsets will be gravy. We don't get a shot a UH until the championship tournament, but that is also a scalp I would enjoy for TU.
