Biggins on Thomas -- The "Latest"

Trojan fans are flipping out. I counted at least 15 threads on the topic on one board. I really hope we get this guy because they have turned into damn babies throwing a fit over this.

The Trojan family over paid for Kiffin, and they're getting what they paid for. A mediocre X's and O's guy, who is a subpar recruiter. The heat is going to be turned up in Los Angeles next year (especially if sanctions go away) and that dude is going to feel the pressure to win and keep up with us now.

The balance of power is quickly going to be going to the North Division for the next couple of years me thinks.

You can say a lot of things about Kiffin, and often be right, but "subpar recruiter" is not one of them.

You look at the class they're putting together, even without Thomas, while facing heavy sanctions and it's really quite amazing.

This is true -- and I dont want to undermine the job he is doing -- with what he has to work with. But I look at a lot of the people he's pulled in, and how much of that is brand name, SC recruiting him? With the help of guys like Orgeron? He did manage to pull in Bryce Brown to Knoxville, but even that was shady recruiting.

I think in order for him to be a successful recruiter, I think he bends a lot of the rules.

Something else that I find amazing about this -- his mother obviously wants him to look elsewhere to play. We're beating out Slick Rick and Tedford for his services -- so that speaks volumes as to the job Kelly has done in recruiting this kid to consider leaving the state.

I wish more than anything we were talking about a huge DT/DE pickup -- but echoing what everyone has said -- when you find a diamond, while looking for Gold, you dont toss it away.

I know it's not allowed, but that being the case is kinda dumb...

It is dumb, but I've been personally asked by scout, 247, and Mosley not to allow people to copy and paste their articles. I think that's fair from them.

I know ESPN and the NFL has threatened NFL team fan sites like this, legal action for coping and pasting articles. Seahawks.net won't let you even post a link to say justintv for a game because the NFL has said the will go after sites doing that.

By the way guys this Biggins article is not a free article at all. It is a ESPNinsider article and you have to pay to be an insider. I read it on their site because I'm an insider but if I was the admin for this site I would delete this thread if you are worried about copy right infringement.

It sounds dumb, but these writers get paid for their articles. Their articles bring readers to those particle sites, and those readers bring in money

It's understandable -- I got the article on a free site from another member who posted the information. So if it needs to get dumped, I can completely understand.
