    Looks like it might be 50-50 LSU-FSU now.

    Kid was completely blown away by LSU's facilities, coaching staff, academics, etc.

    His main thing is that the coaching staff was upfront and honest on his ability to see the field early.

    Thomas is now a real possibility.

    Multi-dimensional back. A lot like Richard Murphy.

    I think I could live with another Richard Murphy type back on our team.

    If Thomas was to honestly look at the offenses compared I really think its not a tough decision at all....

    :geaux::crystal::helmet: I think this kid would be a great grab and exceptional addition to this years class. IMO we need a big time RB in this class to keep the talent level high at that position through the next few years.

    And you're absolutely right about comparing the offenses of LSU and FSU being a no brainer in LSU's favor!! No comparison at all. FSU doesn't have the talent level LSU has even without a third of the team being suspended!! Also, I think coach Crowton proved to be a much more innovative OC than Jimbo Fisher was. No disrespect to Jimbo, but he did seem to get conservative many times when it seemed the offense needed to stay on the attack. I wouldn't trade Crowton for Fisher at any price. Hopefully recruits on the offensive side of the ball will look at that comparison and see the advantages at LSU. Only drawback is that some don't want to wait their turn. Possible earlier playing time at FSU could play in to the situation.:geauxtige:champs::LSU231::crystal:

    He is raving about his trip to LSU this weekend (here is an article on the rivals board: http://www.lsu.rivals.com/)

    "OOOOwooooo it just got a lot tougher," Thomas said. "I really do now have a tough decision to make. At first it was just like I'm going to make a visit to LSU and just check out the campus and get a trip.

    "But when I got here it was just like a totally different story. Now things have changed
    and I am going to have to make a tough decision."

    I'm not sure what you're refering to but was only saying that what Parso and Iststl bring us in recruiting is wurd.


    Not sure about the "Timeout" either, I've been in Lake Charles the past two days- mostly at the Burton Collesium but flattered you noticed. :lol:

    Had the District Grand Champion Commercial goat, btw.
