The countdown for linebacker Kimmie Carson (Tulsa, Okla./East Central) is over. For the last several months, Carson has let the world know how much time was left until spring football started. No more months, no more weeks and no more days. Oklahoma high school spring practice has arrived as teams officially start today.

Wide receivers coach Jay Norvell spent time in Florida and the southeast. And non-traditional spots such as Washington and Illinois have been destinations for the Sooners staff.
But at least one coach will be staying close to home as defensive tackles coach Jackie Shipp is expected to be at Tulsa East Central on Monday.
