Two Quotes

• Elite WR Brenen Thompson spoke with 247Sports about his Top 3, which included Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas A&M.

“I felt like these three schools had everything I wanted and much more,” Thompson added. “So I can’t wait to call one home!”

And on OSU, specifically:

“Close to home, love the staff as well.” [247]

• In consecutive days I’m citing the apparently quotable cornerback Christian Holmes. This time he’s gushing about how much depth and talent OSU’s secondary boasts.

“I’ve been around for a minute, so when I look at this secondary, I feel like it’s put together really well,” Holmes said. “It could be outstanding.” [The Oklahoman]

One Question

• Were you up and at ’em as early as Jim Knowles? I was not.

Non-OSU Bullets

• Berry on why a 12-team playoff would enhance college football’s regular season. [The Oklahoman]

• Companies have spent millions getting machines to remember our faces, our likes and dislikes. But can they teach them to forget? [WSJ]

• The Little League World Series is a once in a lifetime privilege, for umpires too. [NYT]
