For those saying he's some kind of diamond in the rough, Mo Claiborne-esk guy flying under the radar.

Kids do NOT "fly under the radar" at EVANGEL. Every college coach in the country stops by there.

Northwestern State hasn't even offered

Can you comprehend what you read you stupid frick?

I implied that his measureables were GOOD...hence my surprise at the lack of attention.

He had something like 50 TD catches over the last two seasons.

So what do you think the problem is?

Measureables: VERY good
Production: GREAT
Grades: Good enough

What is he missing?

If Les didn't do a good job talking to Fobbs why would he take a trip. I know that in his trip to LSU he had a great sit down with Gozalez and Wilson and they showed him a lot of film on how he would be used. When looking back at Fobb's articles I didn't see where it said that happend at A&M. If I was him that would be something I'd like to know.

People post opinions all the time... why did you select this one for scrutiny?

Didn't intend to scrutinize.

I just honestly didn't see how you came to that conclusion based on the information you presented.

TBH, I still don't see, but I wasn't trying to be a dick. Just curious why you were thinking that.

You think that a kid taking a visit to the school he is committed to the weekend before signing day means he's wavering?

Is this Fobbs' official to A&M?

Yeah it is.... I just don't see why a kid who has been committed for this long to a school and hasn't taken his official is all the sudden now going after an in home visit by another coach of the big instate school. It hasn't been scheduled for him to go. If it had then I wouldn't think this.

Well you didn't mention that in your first post.

That makes a little more sense.

I watched every LA high school football state championship game this year and Eric Thomas was probably the best player I saw all weekend. I actually started a thread about him during that time and had his stats written out. He put up over 100 yards on every good team they played this year. I don't know how good he will be at the next level but the kid can play.

Here are his stats for the year. LINK

By film alone Thomas is much better than people give him credit for. I'm not sure why he has zero offers... He might from small schools (espn says ulm I believe) and the services just don't know because they haven't followed him.

Btw Thomas was at Arkansas last weekend and they told him the same thing... He gets an offer if they lose a commit... So other div 1 schools are looking at him...
