'25 AZ CB Cree Thomas (Notre Dame Signee)

[Ndaccountant]

It's way early and he's a concensus 3 star with a poor offer list.

It's ok to not be ecstatic with every take. Just as it's fine for those who think he's awesome to think it's awesome.

This is quite the take from someone that hasn't watched his film. Even if you try to portray this as "no opinion", your comment is written in a way to either purposefully flame the situation with inference and/or you lack the ability convey messages clearly.

But even taking you at face value, you base this take on ratings and offers, some of which may not even be reported and, in your terms, its still early. I bet your someone who buys stock after reading a seekingalpha article.

Literally said I have no opinion on him. Haven't watched his film.

This statement implies that you have an opinion.

Those are the facts of his recruting profile. I've offered zero opinion on this thread.. Not sure why so many of you are trying so hard here.

At this point in the cycle, Kyle Hamilton was 3* ranked in the 1,000's overall.

Youre lack of self awareness is astounding.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Mike Mickens be good at evaluations.

Which is good as he does so for a living and we do not.

Can you elaborate rather than just look for pats on the back from the cheap seats?

(you can't)

after you watch Cree's film and provide your opinion

He's on record as not being a film expert, you gotta honor his self-awareness on the matter. Facts only!

Do we have film experts here? Former D1 or NFL coaches?

Deflecting what? You feel like need my opinion on his film? Why?

This is weird.

why do you feel the need for him to elaborate?

General rule of thumb - when you think you have something to say about someone, actually have something to say about someone.

exactly

so instead of just pointing to 247 ranking and offer list facts about someone, actually have something to say about the player/prospect.. Watch his film, provide opinion.

Every single person here can go to his 247 page and look at his ranking and who has offered and come to their own thoughts.

I commented to a single person who was upset that some *others* weren't thrilled with him as a recruit (emphasis on *others*).

I simply stated the profile facts and said it's ok for some to question the take, and at same time for others to think it's an awesome take.

That's it - That's what started this - might want to look in the mirror and find out how that upsets a small but noisy handful of the commoners, and determine if you're proud to be lumped into that group.

 

[fightingirish26]

Don't see any real need to question this take, good HS program, top of the board target for Wisconsin, good guy to have on board. But, I have seen multiple opinions in addition to Crus that see him ending up at safety. Does Mickens have relative immunity for scouting safeties as well as corners now?

 

[NDdomer2]

i had something to say about someone and said it. Does that put me in your group or others group?

You are an annoying idiot.

Intentional. It’s the way gas lighting works.

Based on his jr film, I absolutely see and like him as a FS not CB. Someone that you move around all over the field and let make plays

I do NOT see him as a lockdown corner, that wouldn’t be utilizing his strengths

Question, is this a mickens or O’Leary prospect/commit?

Both since Mickens is going to be his DC

In 2 years!

Really need golden for one more to help get some younger players ready, we’re so old on D this year

 

[Sea Turtle]

Watching the film on Thomas, he has one trait i love in corners. He finds the football, which prospects either have or don't.

My son and nephews have it. Every year, I throw multiple picks as the all time QB in our annual Thanksgiving football game.

Surely ND would not recruit a corner who isn't at least good at "finding the football" at high school level? Legit question rather than being smart arse.

Do you remember Houston Griffith? Single worst ball skills I can remember for a defensive back. Played 5 years, no interceptions and only 3 pass break ups which were all when he was a freshman/sophomore.

I agree with IAIrish. When it comes to finding the ball, you either have it or you don’t. Not a skill you typically develop in college

Haha. Griffith is a legend in my mind. He was like almost a 3 year starter. What did he ever do? He must have been good at some unseeable thing.

 

[Rocketman84]

Bell is the fastest on the team. And he is a Corner.
Mickey is faster.
Gray ran a faster 40 than Cam.
Tyree is faster.
Mayweather is faster.
James is faster.

So 3 CBs are faster than Cam, and at least 3 WRs.

Cam ran a 4.43 in the Spring so his speed is definitely much improved.
