It is RIDICULOUSLY late for recruits to just start jumping ship now. Unless they all choose to go to UCLA, since they still have plenty of room.

Yeah. It was good while it lasted though.

probably taken during the visit after someone had outfitted him. No different then every trip that every recruit takes in the entire nation.

You know. Has it occurred to anyone that he might just be doing this for his own ego. Last minute trip, press conference,
sounds like a guy who doesn't want to miss the spotlight.

Looks like that was taken at his HS gym, could have been today.

Ego certainly plays a part but I don't think he is doing all of this just to stroke his own ego. Just a gut feeling though.

No Dude, it had not occurred to us.

Reading an earlier article on this kid, ego doesn't seem to be an issue at all. For instance, an ego kid would surely jump at the oppurtunity to play on Snoop Dogg's Pop Warner team, right? He didn't switch and beat Snoops' team 52-0. While we're hoping he has a change of mind and does switch, I don't this is a kid out for attention. It sure is fun trying to imagine Lame trying to orchestrate another "troy of pigs" invasion after the botched baxter cell phone joke, this would be a little too much work for his brain.

Most of what I have heard about Thomas is that he isn't a "look at me athlete", so I doubt he is doing this for his ego.

Looks like 07 and I had the same thought on him.

On a side note, can I mention how much that gif makes me smile.

dude it's not like usc or oregon are calling press conferences for deanthony thomas.

jeeeeeeeeez

it's signing day. there's gonna be press conferences. they won't even mention thomas' name because he isn't announcing officially until 5pm, so they can't talk about him according to the ncaa.

all signs say he's a duck. not saying there can't be a change between now and then, but chances are good.

goddam "new post" function

From what he says in interviews seems like a pretty well grounded kid.

Not sure where he will go but I concur with uostudent regarding the local reaction. From what I've experienced living in LA, being around South Central, etc., he most likely will have just as much support from friends and family wherever he goes.

There might be a bunch of angry, USC rich kids on the internet. But, nobody to make a person worry about being in LA. Certainly, nobody that would last very long trying to burn his house down there.
