Tonight on Power Hour on IE, Mike Frank said that Notre Dame has made a late push for this kid and offered him. I see that he is visiting UCLA this weekend, so Im not sure whats going on. Anyone else heard anything?

Some of the talk on TN boards is that with Oliver coming to TN he's opening up recruiting again...not sure why.

Looks like he'd be a great addition though.

I'd take him at this point. Wasn't he a HS teammate of someone we were hard after last year, a RB, I believe.

Ryan Williams.

Read on another board that he is looking at tripping to UCLA, but they are less than excited about him coming. The same poster said he was told that if he came to Tenn to honor his scholly now, he would be accepted, but would not play.

I understand we offered a scholarship to him (as per Ziggy at DD) yesterday by one of our coaches (I think Powlus), and if he comes here (even if by default) it will probably be after NSD.

Thigpen looking elsewhere after being told he's not right fit : Football Recruiting : GoVolsXtra.com

He's not the right fit for them. lol The ESPN rating of him is outstanding. ESPN blows, but I hope we get him.

5'8 170 kinda small but that 4.4 speed would be nice !

This kid is legit, just watch his film.

 

[mat33]

I can't find his film, could anyone provide a link?

I am hearing he is closer too 5'6...I do not see him playing CB with that size so he will either be a return guy or a slot receiver. Speed and depth is always good! Maybe someone to return kicks with Tate next year?

Funny that is says it is up to date as of today, but it is not at all. Still has as a Tenn commit and no talk about UCLA, Miss State or ND.

Very impressed by this kid. Speed is amazing and he has great moves. Does not shy away from contact.

 

[IrishGrizz]

I sure would be happy to welcome him to ND, even if we have to wait past NSD.

Yeah, it won't be a big deal, we will have a few spots left.
