Cody Thomas rumors?
Has anyone heard rumors of Cody Thomas going to play baseball instead of becoming a Sooner? Just seen an article on Rant Sports about him playing baseball possibly.
Originally, that was a concern and I'm sure it still is to some degree. Won't know anything until he is done with his baseball season this year. I couldn't blame him for taking the money in the MLB instead of coming to OU. QB position is one of the deepest on the team so if he goes OU will be ok.Originally Posted by ruasoonerfan2
I had heard that earlier but thought he had decided on football. Hope he stays with football. See a great future for him here.
He isn't a pitcher he won't go high enough

and scouts have told him if he were to pitch he would greatly increase his draft position and status
he doesn't want to pitch so that bodes well for us
Read where he declined to throw pitches for scouts last summer because he wanted to focus on football. Hopefully he'll improve his stock while playing for Golloway
Ive heard 5th or 6th round. I dont think that pays the big dollars.
the MLB draft is hard to remember from a dollars perspective. They have close to 30 rounds so it's hard for me to remember the numbers for a 5 round guy vs a 2nd round guy.

Says here he should at least get $600,000 to off set the cost of college. The $600,000 is the signing bonus as 1st year players make about $850 a month in the smallest league. I think 5th round bonus' are around $150,000
Just because he isn't a pitcher doesn't mean he won't go high (although it is true he projects higher as a pitcher). OFs get drafted out of highschool in the 1st round pretty much every year.
What will hurt his draft stock as much as anything is baseballs punishments for not signing your draft picks. If there is any speculation he will play football instead of baseball, then teams will be less willing to risk drafting him.
Not to say he is a first round talent, I haven't seen him any higher than like 4th, but I some friends have told me they have heard he has been moving up draft boards. For whatever that is worth.
Who was the kid who turned pro last year instead of ou? How's he doing
Archie Bradley. I believe
Here's some stats for Archie

A little bit of Rookie ball, but mostly A-Ball.
12-6 (W/L)
3.78 ERA
156 K's in 138 innings.
Not really a rumor. The risk of him playing pro baseball has been there since Day 1.
His lifting trainer who he's been with for a couple of years at Stroud's thinks he plays ball at OU FWTFIW
Cody Thomas is on a baseball schollie-wont count against us.

If true that's really good. I'd take a few more of those players playing two sports.

Wrong. Football overrides the other sports when it comes to schollys. If he even practices football, he counts against our limit
