I continue to hear that transfer QB and all-time OKPreps passing leader, Casey Thompson, will announce his decision in the week following New Years Day.
I also continue to hear OU is the likely landing spot if things stay trending in the same direction it was as of earlier this evening.
*** We have talked about on pods/Lives and reported this for some time now, but wanted to make a note that Parker and I continue to be told things are moving a bit differently for CB Woodi Washington and his upcoming decision.
At one point, there was almost zero chance he was returning and his people told OUinsider as much. However, there seems to be some strong buzz on his possible return for the 2024 season.
I’m not gonna sit here and say definitively that will happen, because WW changed his mind a few times already. That said, we continue to hear the odds are much, much better for the return of Woodi Washington to OU in the 2024 season.
Even more so, and as of last night, the idea that he was coming back was stronger than it was when we first threw the idea that things weren’t 100% to the NFL a few weeks ago. Either way it goes, we have a story ready for him staying and for him leaving just in case.
Also, if he does return, that’s another really good returner for the Sooners’ defense — and a defense that looks like it could be really good on paper next year — if Washington does follow the same path as Billy Bowman and Danny Stutsman.
Stay tuned as we continue to dig on that and more transfer info.
*** Also, I’m in Colorado (Crested Butte) with family this week. I didn’t take but one or two days of paternity leave when baby Ava was born in October, so I am getting in some family time before Parker (he is off to UA Game in a few hours) and I hit the road for our annual winter and spring recruiting, 7v7, camps and schools tours that last through May.
I will continue to look into certain portal possibilities and recruiting stuff to keep you updated, but I’ll be around a bit less over the next week or so.
Regardless, I want to thank you all for being valued members and hope you all have a blessed and Happy New Year.
