Five-star Recruit Bryce Thompson Sets his College Commitment Day

The wait to find out where five-star recruit Bryce Thompson will go is nearly over. After trimming his list from five to four on Sunday, he told the Tulsa World in an article published Monday that he’s already got his eyes on the next step of the process: a commitment date.

And that commitment date is less than 10 days away.

Thompson said he plans to sign on the first day of the early signing period, on Nov. 13, where he looks to end a “great process.”

“It’s been tough to get it down to four,” he said. “Over the recruiting process, you build a lot of great relationships. In the end, It is hard to say no to somebody after talking to them for all of these years. You have to look at the pros and cons and look toward your future because this is a big decision. It’s a decision that can alter your life. It’s big. It’s great that I can have my family here to help guide me and help me make the right decision.”

As for OSU’s chances, he continues to speak highly of them. After all, OSU was his first scholarship offer way back in 2017.

“Oklahoma State has been there since day one,” he said. “They’ve approached me and made sure that I’m a priority to them. Coach (Mike) Boynton is a great coach. He texts me almost every day and gives me stats about OSU and why I should go there. He’s a great coach and I had a great visit up there with the guys. I know two of the players that I used to play with are up there, Keylan and Kalib Boone, who played at Memorial High School. That’s obviously a plus. It’s close to home, too. You can’t beat it.”

Thompson has visited OSU on numerous occasions, including an official visit to the school, which took place at the end of September. He also made official visits to Kansas, North Carolina and OU in recent months. After seeing what he wanted to see, it seems he’s now got a firm grasp on what he wants and what he likes.

“I’m looking for a place where I can develop and get better,” he said. “I want a place where I can win and build long-lasting relationships.”
