Devin Thomas has become my favorite recruit!!!!

[snoot hoggy hog]

I like his attitude:

"I don't want them to give their word to me and go back on it, so I don't feel it's right to do that to them," Thomas said of closing his recruiting. "I don't really need to [visit schools ] because I made my decision where I want to go."

[Landonhog]

He had several good quotes in that article...   I really like his attitude as well.  This is beginning to look like a trend with several of the guys we're getting in this class. 

[PigWig]

Thats great news. I hope we keep all our verbal commits come signing day.

Character is worth 1 * in my book.  I'll take a solid 3* with good character over a 4* with "tude" any day of the week.  See TO for reference.
Winston Guy seems to be another young man with solid character and his head on straight.  We must be getting some kids with good parents and coaches.
That's why I would like to get D'Anton Lynn.

I just hope it's not all smoke and mirrors.  Everybo..well.....almost everybody will say the right thing when being interviewed.

I noticed that also.  Speaks well of his character.

[Cresthog]

I think Devon Thomas is going to be a star. I am so glad we nabbed him.

[COCHISE]

I hear people mention Devin's grades and I realize they must be very good to have received offers from schools such as NW and Stanford but I can't find his actual GPA or ACT score anywhere, just curious as to what they are.  Anyone know??

[flagstaffhog]

SoTexHog has nailed it! It's always about Character.....

[Bomis Hawg]

These are the type of recruits that will do the extra things in the offseason and between games that get them better prepared, and end up putting them higher up the charts than many.

Glad to have Mr. Thomas.

[Nate-Hawg]

Geeezzz, I started reading this thread without looking at the date. I thought he changed his mind. Oh well, I sure hope we get Aundre Dean.

I didn't think that was allowed to be public knowledge unless the player released it.

My bad....i was just removing egg from my face.

And to think HDN probably promised the kid he would be here til 2012 then just up and resigned at the peak of his success.  What is wrong with people nowadays.

You missed a spot! 

[big john]

now thats funny right there.

[NostraHogmus]

After reading his initial comments and then he switched , not sure I want him... love what CBP is doing - read the thread about Elijah Epperson on Sports Rap this evening!!

[big john]

Elijah Epperson  i love this kid got lot heart an speed, he will be good .

[jpenrod1]

I have noticed that all of the other backs BP is going after are bigger backs. they are more like what BP has used in the past. If BP gets dean to sign this class i dont think Thomas will stay at RB. we shall see.

[Hogtropolis™]

I must have missed something.  Did Thomas re-commit to the Hogs?

[HamShank]

No, take a look at the date of the thread.  It was brought back to point out h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y.

[rizzohoghead]

devon is undoubtedly the best blind running back in the country

[3kgthog]

He's a straight ahead runner that made a lot of highlight runs through holes 15 yards wide. Watch the Youtube clips.

Thanks.  I knew something didn't sound right.

[Tomhog™]

I believe he would have been a good Arkansas RB.  That being said, I think we have a good shot at Aundre and believe he will be even better!

[Razorvet]

I like the Winston Guy reference as well.

[cityhog]

Really?  Did you ever hear Houston Nutt interviewed?

Yessir......my point exactly

He's not a hypocrite.  Coach didn't visit him when he was supposed to.  That's the reason he went back on his word.

What a hypocrite.

He said that before we changed coaches.  Kid has every right to look around when there is a major situation change.  Get off his back, he made a decision and I hope it was the right decision for him.

[Adam Stokes]

"I made my decision of where I want to go"

I guess not. 

Hope he has fun with Nutters, he IS a hypocrite.  You commit to the university not the coach.  People say that on here ALL the time.  He stupid choices was the reason Petrino didn't waste his time on him.  I'm not sure whether it was because he took the official itself after he said he didn't need to, as he said in the quote above, or saying that Ole Misses facilities were way better than ours, or that if he had to rate his visit out of 100 that it was 100.  Okay you got me, if he isn't a hypocrite that he is stupid.  I don't care if he's 18 and changes his mind like 18 year old's do, heck I'm 18, he's stupid.

Jealous much?  Not getting any D-1 offers?
