So is Darron Thomas a commit or not?

I remember a while back that it was rumored around the time of the July LSU camp that he had indeed committed. However, nothing has come out of it.

 

No official announcement yet..........if he has. :wink:

 

Rumored silent commit...which makes sense given the staff wants to still recruit for other QBs.

 

Looks like Darron just committed.

Good news!

Seems like a good get- as a junior, threw for 905 yards and rushed for 499 yards last season.......totaled 16 touchdowns.

 

Welcome aboard; he is a great athlete. Let's just hope he gets a lot better his senior year. He only threw for 6 td's his junior year and 4 ints. Not typical qb stats for a LSU scholly qb. I trust Miles' and his staff in recruiting.

 

I doubt he will play QB for us anyway, maybe some trick plays here and there. Probably will develop him as a WR since we have Perriloux for atleast next year and Jarrett Lee after that, and we'll probably pick up a big time QB prospect in the next 2 years.

This is good news though, he seems like a solid athlete.

 

Please watch Darron's commit: http://www.myfoxhouston.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=4114208&version=1&locale=EN-US

 

Hmm I wonder who Lou Saban is ;p

I just don't see him playing QB... he's not an elite prospect, he's a decent one definitely but not nearly on the level of say Terrell Pryor or EJ Manuel or Dayne Crist. I think that Perrilloux will have the QB position next year, and then they'll give it to Jarrett Lee who'll have it for a few years, and we'll probably sign a big time QB prospect in the next few years. So maybe Darron Thomas is in the mix for QB, but I just feel that if he wants significant playing time he might atleast have to play a little bit WR because I don't see him beating out Perrilloux or Lee.

 

Don't overlook the guy as a QB. He's raw, but he's very athletic. He could be a Matt Jones-type quarterback if he develops more. I too think his future probably lies somewhere other than QB, but it's nto definite.
