Surely someone has heard something. Did he play any pickup ball with the team? Did he have a good time? It's seems to between the Sooners and Miami and we had the last visit and are closer to home. It seems like we need him the most, too.
No update on the TaShawn Thomas visit?

This is very strange. Surely, someone has heard what "the word on the street" is.

This is just speculation ... Is it possible to wait until the NCAA makes a decision on his eligibility for next season? Could it be that Thomas and OU have both agreed to wait and see?
Transfers are not really required to sign a LOI during the signing period. They can just enroll at their new school when the next semester starts.
Even if Thomas waits and the OU deal does not work out, I'm sure Thomas can find a home at at a good school that can better absorb a redshirt year for him.
Again, this is just speculation. This scenario may not be feasible.

Might be an option if the NCAA decision is expected soon. I doubt Thomas would want to wait around if that is a decision that might not come for several months.
If Hale says it's a tossup then we're basically screwed. Nah, i'll hold out some hope. Anything on the eligibility front?
Nothing on eligibility. He will commit and sign somewhere before the NCAA decides if can play next year or not. I think that's at least 50/50, but OU must have decided to offer him even if he has to sit out next season.
I honestly think they will rule for imediate eligibility. U of H changed coaches and the new one has a history of NCAA violations.... at 2 schools. Since most appeals are being granted per 2012 stats, it would be tough love to penalize a kid for transferring away from a coach who they have an ethics conflict with. Just my opinion...... and I love Kelvin.... hope he gets Hornbeak.

I too think he will get a waiver to play. The NCAA will twist the knife in Kelvin just for grins.
I don't know that answer but I thought this was an interesting statistic:
"According to NCAA data from July 2012 to June 2013, 39 of the 62 undergraduate men's basketball players who applied for waivers received them."
That tells me the odds are better than 50/50 for an assortment of reasons. It's 63% for the 2012-2013 year.
