What recruits do you believe this hire will have a big impact on?

Well the names have all changed since you hung around
But those dreams have remained and they've turned around
Who'd have thought they'd lead ya....
Back here where we need ya....

The guys in 2018 and 2019 he offered in Tennessee before he left and JaCoby Stevens in this class are the ones that come to mind

Well If USC and or the AD/new AD or whoever is n charge couldn't see what they were getting with Austin then if I were a USC fan I wouldn't feel too confident about the direction.

A lot.

Runs the recruiting board. Organizes and reports pretty much everything and everyone. Finds talent at younger age than most. Talks to coaches and other influential people. Honestly, it's a job very few could handle.

quote:

Thomas was known to keep files on hundreds of players, and would help former recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson identify future recruits in their freshmen and sophomore seasons to help LSU get a leg up in offering and building relationships. More importantly, he was a supremely organized and very hard worker, often sleeping in his office in the weeks leading up to signing day. He even did some road work for the staff after Wilson's departure. This 2016 recruiting class was very much Thomas' baby -- he worked on it for years.


He does it all and he is very trusted by Miles. he was also 2015 Player Personnel Director of the Year

Here is a great piece on him and an interview.

Edit: can't find the piece on him from a couple years ago.
