Thomas' Detroit MLK squad took on De La Salle (Shane Morris' old school) at the weekend and pulled off an upset. They did the whole "we ain't shaking hands" routine in the pre game too. Donnie Corley and LaVert Hill both had picks and Thomas had a TD reception.

i have to say when Maryland did it to Penn State (fuck those guys) last year I thought it was hilarious but for high school teams to be doing it the refs should immediately being throwing flags and penalising teams on opening kickoffs and possibly ejections

i just can't imagine the shit you would get into as a HS student with the principal if you did something like that when representing your HS in front of the state like that.

I think it's pretty universally accepted to be crying laughing. Doesn't mean it's a bad thing. We went for the ridiculous, attention grabbing tactic, and it worked.

The D Zone: King 2017 WR/DB Ambry Thomas revisits game changing play vs. DLS and a lot more

Time is also something Ambry Thomas has, as he should be the top priority at WR or DB for the schools recruiting him. Thomas talked about which schools he's focused on when he will start to trim things down, "I'm just taking everything slow right now so I'm not really thinking about it during the football season."

Thomas also informed The D Zone that he will visit the campus of Notre Dame this weekend as they host Texas. The Fighting Irish have yet to pull the trigger on Thomas with an offer but regardless, Thomas is looking forward to the visit as he shared what he's looking to gain from the visit, "just to build a good relationship with the staff."

when BK and Gilmore stopped to check in on him, they checked his transcripts out and once they checked out, this is why he was now offered--247

MI HS football is definitely on the up's. They need to sort out seperate playoffs for private schools and the public ones though. Last year 7 out of the 8 state title winners were private Catholic schools.

Named ND his leader per ISD

top 150 CB from a public school in Detroit with MSU, Michigan, and OSU offers would be such a huge pull. Especially considering all three of the other Midwest power houses could have 10+ win seasons too

MLK is a fastly becoming a football factory that is gonna be churning out big time talent over the next few cycles. Could even overtake Cass Tech. It's a big deal for ND to get the foot in the door here. Obviously not every player will be a ND type student but its a pipeline that must be explored

I love how well recruiting is going since the changes to the staff and recruiting office. Hope it keeps up (and obviously winning helps).
