Charles Thompson's son commits to the oSoners

[Psychopharmahorn]

I searched the forum and didn't see mention of this, but the following is from ESPN.com's Three Point Stance column:

Southmoore (Okla.) High junior quarterback Kendal Thompson committed to sign with Oklahoma on Monday. He is the son of Charles Thompson, the quarterback whose arrest and conviction for selling cocaine helped bring an end to the Barry Switzer Era in Norman 20 years ago. By all accounts, Charles Thompson has reformed, and his son is an upstanding young man. But it is a little odd, no?

I couldn't help but notice this blurb at the beginning.

i think it's great, not only that he is an "upstanding young man" but that his dad has reformed.

I just wish he went somewhere else if he has the ability so i could root for his on field success.

 

[notreally]

supposedly he is a pretty good passer, and doesn't resemble his dad's style or physical stature at all.

there has also been some talk about charles' decision to move his son to southmoore from westmoore. apparently there was some "issues" between parent and coaching staff.... and it didn't reflect too well on charles.

can't imagine him playing qb for us though. so we'll see where he ends up.

I have coached against CT for years in he central OK area. He is all class and completely changed.

I don't know where his youngster will play on the football field, but he is a hell of a basketball and baseball player as well.
