Nick Thompson

[Krugerfan52]

Is he in Norman right now, or did he back out too? It sure would be nice to get a commit just to give us the feeling that we are still trying to feild a team next year.

I'm hoping to see an article tomorrow about his visit, but I'm expecting to see a post instead about how he has committed to New Mexico.

The Tulsa World article said that Capel was in Norman on Friday night hosting a recruit. Could it be Thompson?

 

[TSDNWT]

Yes, Thompson is in town this weekend. I've heard that he will not make a choice until after his New Mexico visit next weekend.

does anybody know anything about this kid?

Excellent! Good news that he's in town. Good news that Capel is still recruiting for OU. Bad news that he wants to wait until after his NMexico visit. But still, I'll take it. If he had not come to Norman along with the others it would have been a fairly strong sign that Capel told them that he will no longer be the coach at OU.

Of course Capel could still be recruiting Thompson just incase he wants to come with him to another school. DANGIT. I slipped back into negative world.

Big guy, apparently fairly skilled, not your prototypical post player in that he likes to hang out around the perimeter, apparently, like Keith Van Horn or Matt Gipson... Signed with Weber State out of high school, not sure why that didn't work out. Used to live in state, mother graduated from OU I believe I read.

 

[Krugerfan52]

I would love to get him. Then a Juco PG and Aziz and we'll have a complete roster.

Thompson is in town. There is a thread with a lot of his info. Probably a few pages back.

everyone is freaking out about next year but I think we will be fine...I believe we will still be better next year assuming we can get nick and either tjones or aziz

I mean we are still looking at this: (assuming nick and aziz)

1) tj taylor
2) cade
3) clark
4) gallon
5) aziz

that is a better starting lineup than last year! plus fitz will be much improved, pledg should be much improved....but beyond that we may be in trouble

I agree with you provided there are no more changes in the coaching staff, no bad surprises from the investigation, and if Capel can sign 2 or 3 more really good players. That would certainly make me feel a lot better!

There was a recruit with Kellen at the baseball game today. Not sure if that was Nick or not.

 

[soonerczech]

Tall white guy? If so, then Nick. If not, then who knows.

 

[Darwin]

Thompson sounds like a nice player from what I have heard. He could get a lot of pt the next couple of years.

That was him. Tiny, Fitz, and Cade were there also...and myself

 

[Krugerfan52]

Any word on how this visit went? I guess we will know after his New Mexico visit.

 

[BozemanSooner]

from the one film clip i've seen of the kid, i like his game. van horn seems to be a good comparison. he seemed pretty aggressive and fairly athletic. we need some good news!!

So, I saw Nick, Kellen and it looked like Beau Gerber. How the hell did I miss Tiny and Fitz?

Maybe they were out getting hotdogs and peanuts?? Can't have a baseball game without those.

He is certainly a guy that could really help this team this year. He and Aziz would be just what the doctor ordered this late in the game imo.
