*** Finally, back to QB transfer Casey Thompson. I spoke with him yesterday and he is interested in OU, with Coach Gundy and Coach Lebby talking to him several times already.

Nebraska is still the team I would pick right now, but if Caleb Williams drags this thing out too long, I think OU will press hard on CT. They like him and want him, but CW is the guy they have first as of now and CT knows and understands that.

Regardless, I don’t think the Sooners will let it get too far without reassurances from CW and his camp. If they can’t get that in the next week, I can’t imagine the Sooners not putting the full court press on the Sooners legacy.

They’re going to have a harder time convincing him to be a second transfer QB in their class than they think.

This was from yesterday things may have changed since his visit today.

I find it hard to believe a guy with NFL aspirations wants to be in a QB battle in potentially his last season against another very proven QB
Against another proven QB who is reunited with his old OC....

I don't think OU is a player. I think they were flirting with him in case they didn't get Gabriel
 
And yet you could see a guy saying he’d rather take that risk than go the Bermuda Triangle of football.
I don't know that it'd make it less of a bad decision. Kid has more options than us and OU and should probably make a better decision.

So AM was 189/306 for 2,863 yds, 14 TDs and 10 INT in 2021

CT was 165/261 for 2,113 yards, 24 TDs and 9 INT

Like what we'd be getting. At the very least he's AM replacement value IMO, and have to think he takes a bigger jump in his 2nd year starting.
 
Looks like we are going to get Casey Thompson then. Never thought I would be able to to root for a Longhorn, but looks like I am going to have to this next year. Who knows, maybe he can help break this fucking curse on Husker football.
After reading about him some, it seems like he’s a Sooner more than anything. It sounds like he always wanted to follow his Dad’s footsteps but it’s just never worked out.
