BREAKING: Top 2025 Oklahoma Big Man Decommits and Flips Commitment to Tennessee Vols
Oklahoma City, OK – In a stunning turn of events, five-star prospect and one of the most sought-after big men of the 2025 recruiting class has decommitted from the University of Oklahoma and announced his commitment to the Tennessee Volunteers, shocking fans and analysts alike.
The player, a towering presence on both ends of the court and a standout in high school basketball, initially pledged his allegiance to the Sooners earlier this year. However, after a whirlwind of recruitment that included intense attention from college basketball powerhouses such as Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia, he opted to join Rick Barnes’ program in Knoxville instead.
“I want to thank Coach [Porter] Moser and the Oklahoma staff for their belief in me, but I feel that the Tennessee Vols offer the right opportunity for my growth as a player and person,” he said in a statement. “I’m excited about the future and can’t wait to wear the orange and white.”
The decision is expected to send ripples through the recruiting landscape, as the Vols continue to build momentum in the 2025 class. Coach Barnes has been recognized for his ability to develop young talent, and this commitment adds another crucial piece to an already promising roster.
Rival programs, especially Alabama and Auburn, are likely to feel the impact of this decision as they hoped to sway the big man their way. Both schools had invested considerable time and resources in trying to recruit the athlete, who is considered one of the top players in the nation for the 2025 cycle.
Tennessee fans are already celebrating the announcement, seeing it as a significant win in the ongoing battle for top talent in college basketball. The Volunteers’ coaching staff has emphasized their commitment to building a championship-caliber team, and this new addition could be a major step in that direction.
As the recruiting landscape continues to evolve, this high-profile flip serves as a reminder of the excitement and unpredictability that defines college athletics. Fans will be keeping a close eye on how this decision impacts both Oklahoma and Tennessee in the seasons to come.
