'17 IL WR Jeff Thomas

[BondJamesBond]

Proximity to home seems to be big.

That would explain his interest in Oregon and Miami.

 

[ATC_VOL]

East St Louis produces some serious athletes.

East St Louis has an excellent program. I'd love to see us get this kid. Obviously Illinois and Louisville are much closer to home for him. I wish we could get a visit-might give him something to think about.

 

[Glitch]

At least he'll get to experience what Miami's stadium is like on game day.

Hiyo!

 

[Catbone]

With Malone leaving we need one. Staff may have expected him to stay

 

[JRVOL11]

This would be a great pull .

If we're after some WR this late in recruiting season does that mean Byrd will get a shot at CB? Since we've struck out with the CBs we were after.

I would say if we was to get Thomas, it would be very possible Byrd moves to CB. Both are similar players at WR.

I think Byrd needs to go to CB regardless

 

[Blake25p]

I think Byrd needs to go to CB regardless

Agreed

Kid says he is looking for "the love" and early playing time. This might be one of those recruits where an "annoying" Volnation might be a benefit.

Although the 5-foot-10, 167-pound Thomas did not say Louisville and Oregon were also in his top three, it certainly appears they are making the biggest runs at Thomas. He was offered by new Ducks coach Willie Taggart recently, and Louisville moved up on his list after its strong season.
"The No. 1 thing I am looking for is the love," Thomas told Bender. "Then, the playing time, and how well they do in graduating players."
