Had to change the framework, obviously, with the torn ACL.

Roommate: TBD. "I'm not sure, actually."

Jersey number: No. 92.

School if not OU: Missouri (kind of a duh on that one)

Future Scoop summer storyline: 'OU's defensive line class for 2018 was already really impressive, and Michael Thompson was the perfect final piece. It's wrong to say Thompson fell into OU's lap, but the stars aligned for the Sooners and Thompson to come together in January.'

News/nuggets: Arrives Sunday just like the majority of the kids already spoken with... Still has trouble sometimes trying to wrap his mind around how quickly things took off between him and OU. From not being talked to for months to getting the full-court press... Mentioned how important and how much of a different mentality he's had academically in the last year. He realized he had to keep those grades up. "When I was younger, I didn't really care... Good friends with Ronnie Perkins (obviously), who is giving the advice of 'take it all in and don't get overwhelmed or put too much pressure on yourself.'... Hasn't weighed himself in a while, but OU is gunning for Thompson at 320 pounds to start summer.
