Great post but would you believe Tennessee Vols just offered smh these people offer all our recruits. Lol

i spoke of this before the kid talked to the media, i like i said before me and tyler byrd use to talk on facebook and he told me that the yellow school really wants him bad because he was all cane. just like oh yeah i will visit tennesee to, o yeah??? like he didn't know before.........but any ways go canes!!!!

Tennessee worked out well for Byrd and that other dude who didn't catch a single ball last year, seems like a great career decision.

i know right, even our walk on s and 3rd round picks got a starting spot in the nfl miami has talent even when espn kiper and all these other entices cant see it finally some one to bring it out. plenty of spots open here who want to be a millionaire!!!

Don't care what the times say, I saw him outrun 5 dbs at the UA game/

None of the comments are questioning his speed. Just calling a spade, a spade. Those times are mainly important as comparisons to other players - not as a objective measures ("laser") as they're presented.

The kid can fly. And, more importantly, he can accelerate.

i still don't get why they don't have those drills run in pads. sprinting in compression shorts and a tight shirt doesn't mean anything if it can't be replicated with actual game equipment on.

Hope we get Thomas glad to hear we've been on him awhile just nervous he just blew up at this game so he will start getting looks from everywhere now

Just thought about it. Thomas is visiting with his parents on the OV and with the off the field issues he's had (got removed from the UA Roster and almost off his team) this bodes well for us. Richt will give his parents the warm and fuzzies about leaving their child with him and getting Jeff out of East St. Louis. Add how we got Choc and Mullins in (noted earlier) that will show our commitment to his academics. None of his other choices are a top 50 university.

Side Note: There's 8 ACC (9 if you count ND) in the Top 50 Universities of 2016. Sheesh that's half of the conference.

Why do people keep bringing up our academic ranking. Most of These kids don't give a crap about that. If they want a top academic school that's also good In football they can just go to Michigan, Stanford , USC or maybe CAL.

It probably doesn't matter, but it's possible that the parents think a diploma from a reputable school would be neat.

If that was a factor they probably would've focused more on his academics one would think. Who knows, maybe they did and as the saying goes....you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Collegiate rankings are the dumbest *** recruiting angle that some fans actually matters. Nobody ever talked about academic rankings until we went through years of abysmal play and had to try and punk FSU somehow since they had their foot so far up our *** on the field.

Measured a legit 5-10 at Summer Nike in Oregon--July 5-10. 2016...the 4.38 laser at a Nike regulated event is unreal

Thomas, Jeff... 17.. WR... East St. Louis... Lunarbeast... 5-10.0(ht).... 167(W)... 4.38 (40 laser)

4.38 laser? Jesus! Get this kid in here. I don't care how just get it done. We need to get that type of explosive speed back into this program and the more the merrier.

 

[DaCanes386]

Thomas, Smith, and Njoku would be a great haul. Is it possible we take 4 WRs including Pouncey? Or just be lucky to get 2/3 or 3/4?
