Re: De'Anthony Thomas picks Oregon!
Watching his highlight film I honestly think he looks like Harvin not Best, and at least the first 1-2 that's how I imagine he will be used here. Once he gets up to 185-190 and LMJ is gone, he will play a lot more RB.

Thank goodness someone finally said it.

Think Jeff Demps Florida or Noel Devine. I think he'll be used a lot like Florida used Harvin though

I've been watching his HL to Nipsey Hussle's "they roll", somehow I don't think rolling down slauson with Oregon flags would be a wise move but the only better fan base this could have happened to lies N in Seattle.buckmarkduck wrote:Watching his highlight film I honestly think he looks like Harvin not Best, and at least the first 1-2 that's how I imagine he will be used here.

They do look a lot alike. And if he's half as badass as Omar, he'll win us a national championship single-handedly.Elduderino wrote:Tell me he doesn't look like Omar though....

Definitely not Jeff Demps. Demps wasn't nearly as talented. Percy Harvin, Noel Devine, and Chris Rainey(Go check his high school film) are more appropriate comparisons.Elduderino wrote:buckmarkduck wrote:Watching his highlight film I honestly think he looks like Harvin not Best, and at least the first 1-2 that's how I imagine he will be used here.

Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea; cannot touch it, or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss //////// Follow me one Tumblr/blog http://f***-kp.tumblr.com/

Maybe it was Rainey I'm thinking of. Whoever it was, was once quoted as saying "Damn it feels good to be _____" and they play(ed) for Florida.Supreme wrote:Definitely not Jeff Demps.

And then Reggie Bush of course. I really want him to come in and gain about 15-20 lbs and hit the slot/backfield.

It is awesome when you get a player and all of his comparisons from scouts are players that were amazing.

Re: De'Anthony Thomas picks Oregon!
As I've been cruising around the net, reading various forums, we really need to send some Preparation H to the Trojans, because there are so many butthurt about losing Thomas. They are really upset. Sour grapes all over the place. They are starting to sound like Huskies, harping on tradition and history. I guess we've arrived when our lil bro in Seattle is bad-mouthing us and now USC is doing the same.
Welcome DeAnthony, you made a good choice.
