Looks like young Mr.Thomas will be a Tiger in 09 ! He keeps saying that the Tigers are the team to beat !
We could wrap up this years class with one that is even better than last years ! Can you beleive how this recruiting thing is going ?!?!

He would be another welcome addition! Keep em coming!

This kid is a total stud... I'm looking for a breakout season from him. A lineman that runs a 4.6? WOW

Okay, I will profess ignorance. Who is this youngster (in the words of DF)? Where does he attend High School? Does he have the grades and entrance scores needed to be admitted to Clemson University?

[Hopefultiger]

No idea on grades:

This guy sounds great.

Nice to know he is attending a SC high school. That makes the recruiting process a little more positive than if we were fighting to bring him from out-of-state.

I'm just now getting back to looking at all the recruiting services since the server crash.
Everything I have seen has him going to Clemson. He himself even stated that Clemson was the team to beat !
Put that together with the fact that a decent year keeps him at a 4 star ,and a year that could see him realize more of his potential could elevate him to as high as 5 stars in most recruiting rankings .
This could be a HUUUUUGE year in recruiting !

Not gonna happen unfortunately. In fact he'll probably fall in the rankings some although he'll no doubt hold onto his 4-star status. The problem is that this kid is such a great athlete that his HS can't afford to have him play OG/OT... They are moving him to TE this year. Clemson wants hiim as a OG though.

Nice info...thanks for the update.

Would love to get him!

Man that gives up some valuable experience. Something that will no doubt bite us more than once this year and when he shows up. It is a great stride compared to 5 years ago. Program stability keeps us in the front line compared to other ACC programs. And even some SEC programs. Id love to see him come join us in tigertown.

Committed this morning!

Go Tigers!
