"Alabama really, because they're recruiting me the hardest and keep me up there," Thomas said. "Kwon and I are tight, but I can't say if our relationship will impact me with LSU."

"It's pretty big(the upcoming visit to Auburn)," Thomas said. "They are behind LSU because I always talk to LSU and I talk to Kwon. I don't know how it is at Auburn yet, I've been there once and haven't seen much. I want to visit and get a feel for the program. That's what it's all about."


He changed from coming last weekend to this weekend to see LSU his #2 team behind Bama (also keep in mind that Bama already has Bo committed)

I think LSU has a good shot and he's good friends with Kwon

Here are last year's highlights as a Soph playing in 6A HS in one of the toughest conferences

Thought that too, but he came back and said "not so fast"

I don't think it's crazy to think we have a shot. But I think it's Bama in the end.

Both teams are stacked at RB.

By the time Thomas would get here, our cupboard would be bare except for Hill and Hilliard (possibly)

As a Bama fan on 247 said "Its funny to watch all these other SEC teams and wonder why they can't recruit a quality, inside-the-tackles runner, and then remember that LSU and Bama have all of them."

It doesn't help other teams that LSU has 5 running backs that will likely be taken in the draft, and rather high, unless Ware's injury problems continue lingering

Which is why I don't think it's crazy that we could land him. Bama will have Yeldon, Hart, Bo, Tenpenny, and Tyren Jones.

Thomas and Fournette would be an amazing duo.

Don't forget Derrick Henry also in this year and they lead for another 2014 running back, Jalen Hurd

Looks like they want 3-4, and I'm not including Fournette.

Scarbrough(commit)
Thomas(bama lean)
Jeff Jones
Jalen Hurd(athlete offer right now)

I think we get Fournette and one other.

Never thought I'd see a BWB post without homerism.

If LSU is going to take a 2014 RB named "Thomas", I would prefer Devon to Racean.

Have I turned a page?? Am I feeling alright?

J/K just thought it was pertinent since he'll see a Udub type smashing for LSU & Hilliard, Blue (if he's healthy), Ford will run at will, did I miss anybody? I'm sure I did

Blue likely won't be available, but we can't find that out because some a-hole called in a bomb threat and they canceled the normal monday 'Lunch with Les' presser.

Ware took last week off, but I don't think he would have against an SEC team, so him, Hilliard, Ford, and Hill will be available for Auburn.

Someone will get 100 yds again, but who knows which one will. I do want Hilliard to keep his two TD game streak going though.
