The main thing to remember is right now the coaches can't contact recruits, the recruits havta call the coaches. So no matter what SC fans want to believe, our coaches are "putting on the full court press". They cant. This is all De'Anthony, and that would scare me if I was a usc fan.

From Scout.inc

The only player I've ever said that could legitimately be 5-Stars at four different positions, RB, S, CB, WR. The only thing that keeps Thomas from being the #1 prospect in the country is that he's on the small side. But his combination of raw speed, change of direction, balance, and natural athleticism is at the top of the heap. His long term future may best be served at corner where his size isn't a liability.

SC fans are also saying Snoop is on the case and trying to get ahold of Mamba. Umm... isn't that illegal?

I've read the rumor on SC boards that it might possibly be Lee, which doesn't make sense. But then again, none of the recruiting ever makes sense.

Well, as big of a fan as Snoop is, his kid wants to be a Duck! I believe it was on larry king when his kid made those comments

Well maybe it's the eternal pessimist in me but after lurking the SC boards for a while, I'd be really surprised if this came to fruition. They're saying that one of their ultimate insiders is pretty confident in DT to SC, and apparently he recently tweeted about recruiting some OLineman we're not in on at all. I'd love to be wrong, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I can't help but connect the Nike Black Mamba shoes with this.

We were coasting along with most of our class in order wondering about the last two or three possible commits. No melodramas like the past years with speculation on Bryce Brown of T. Pryor. I was fallng off on my tracking C4Q since the posts were really non-news then bang....this board and the USC board blow up with speculation on Thomas.

This is a ratings bonanza for 724, Rivals, and Scouts. ESPN has been pushing their day long NDS coverage. They could stretch this story all day if Thomas commits late in the day. I guess we are all going to be locked into the uSC board Wednesday since Chip won't announce our class until late in the day.

I would have been more impressed with "Helen of Troy's" post if she said Thomas was traveling with his mother or father. That would make it a serious visit.

This is great fun but somebody is going to be disappointed. So far the most highly ranked recruits have jilted us at the alter. This year our hit rate with Colt, Wallace and others is unreal. If Thomas wants to play RB and LMJ leaves after next then we don't have a log jamb like uSC.

Let the games begin!!!

It was on LK. He said he liked the unis and the shoes. I bet the only thing he wouldn't like though would be moving to an area that doesn't have what LA has. I suspect if his son ever did go to school for football, it would be in a large metro area with nice weather, which means like USC or UCLA.
