Also, I agree. I don't want to jinx it but I have a mysteriously good feeling about DGB.

I have a gut feeling (just an inkling) that you are so wrong that it defies all of the laws of human decency.

Here's a more likely scenario:

We whiff on all of our receiver targets and end offering a 1* 5'6" white receiver from Alaska named Philbert Jenkins who runs a 5.5 40. Every receiver except Roby Toma transfers to Michigan, so Bruce Heggie is converted to wide receiver. Because of this, the X and Y positions are merged into a single position called the Heggie.

Heggie explodes, becoming the first ironman football player in half a century. He catches 145 passes for 2,349 yards and 38 TDs, runs for an additional 1,301 yards with 15 scores, returns 22 kicks for 790 yards and 4 touchdowns, and returns 12 punts for 389 yards and 3 scores. He also plays Will linebacker, racking up 234 tackles, 18 sacks, 5 interceptions, 7 forced fumbles, and one kill, hitting Matt Barkley so hard that his soul is forced out of his body, where it floats aimlessly to the furthest corners of the universe like a tumbleweed in the wind. On special teams, he makes an additional 46 tackles, putting his season total at 280, and forces three more fumbles. Heggie wins the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Award, Biletnikoff Award, Best Kickoff Returner Award, Bednarik Award. He is a Unanimous All-American selection.

Afterwards, Heggie is named emperor of the Milky Way Galaxy and he builds Earth into a utopia. He ascends to heaven in 2056 AD.

Rivals: :s::s::s:, 53rd WR
ESPN: :s::s::s:, 112th WR
247: :s::s::s::s:, NR
Scout: :s::s::s:, 54th WR

Composite Score: 3.25:s:, 73rd WR

Looks to be seriously underrated based on his offer list.

Interesting that he projects at the Z for us. Most slot prospects are small, fast, and elusive, in order to maximize yards after catch. Thomas is different; he's big (for a Z WR), with great strength and hands; he sounds like the power RB version of a slot receiver.

This guy is very underrated as a prospect right now. ND is in very good shape. He wanted to visit for the USF game to get on campus as early as possible to make sure the WR slots weren't full. Im hearing he will also be going to the ND/Maryland game.

I like this kid, but for some reason I like the kid from South Carolina Chris Brown better. Don't know why just do.

No real update we are his only visit set up. Might take visits to Stanford and Vandy. Could pull trigger at any time during any of his visits. I got a really really good feeling about this.

How would you rate him against our other WR targets?

They are recruiting him in the slot. I would say he is a step below Cyrus Jones. You take Ian Thomas if he wants to come his film is great. Also from reports i have read the staff is extremely high on him. Very underrated by scouting services. Cyrus Jones wanted to come too i believe the staff wouldn't say no.

Oh man I hope that staff doesn't say no to Cyrus Jones if he decides to join also!

Jones and Shaq are the two athletes I love and wouldn't turn a way no matter the numbers.

Ian Thomas---

Ian Thomas---

In response to your inquiry WHISKEY JACK---
Great after the catch---runs right through tackles, one move
and he is gone.

His coach had this to say----Has a Great Body on Him--6-0/190, he runs well, great personality and 3.0 student.A great all-around kid with excellent morals.

He has been recruited by TONY ALFORD and KERRY COOKS who really like him.

THOMAS has been working with a personal trainer to become more explosive--"I want to be a burner, like a Ferrari on the field".

Other than that I can't tell you a thing.

Per the knowledgeable poster on II, they would not turn down Cyrus Jones if Thomas committed.

Just rescheduled for the Air Force game, because the USF game conflicts with his high school schedule. Going to the AF game allows him more time at ND, per 24/7.

Idk about you Lax, but I like the sound of that. haha

Nah you guys are missing my point a little. But it's 100% my fault for phrasing it really poorly.

It's bad news because I expected a commit after this weekend and that would allow us to really pour it on for one more versatile elite guy like a Nelson Agholor or Cyrus Jones to be the last guy in this group. Now we're still playing a bit of a waiting game on who is going to be our slot guy.

Anywho, this is all small potatoes because WE'VE GOT JARRON JONES! WOOO!!! Time to go razz my little brother now that we've stolen another PSU recruit.

Ah, I see. Maybe if we kill this week we still get it. ;)

("it" being the commitment although I wasn't expecting it early on)

Looked at his film again...there are other players I like more. Jones was the player I would have loved to have. Still like Thomas though.

Iowa, ND, Vandy, Rutgers.

Will visit first three officially. Auburn and Wisconsin could be major players if they offer.

Per 24/7.
