Desmond Thomas

[Grinch]

I know we still have MSU (and hopefully a bowl), but anyone know anything of Desmond Thomas?

If he's around, we'd have him (6'3), Rivers (6'2), Orlando Wong (6'1), Dickerson (5'11) and Weems (6'3) at receiver.

Although we lose Timmy's passing ability and experience, with the o-line returning and guys like Ilaoa, Ferguson, and qb that can run - how about mixing in some option (like in the days of Michael Carter)

He's still there. He's redshirting. At least ONE highly touted freshman realized the opportunity he'll have when all the offensive seniors graduate.

Thomas looks good in practice. He has really good hands. Based on what I've seen so far, I think Thomas will be in contention next season.

[Grinch]

Thanks N.O. for the info. Good that he got some hands as there were alot of dropped balls this past year.
There's also the NEED for SPEED. Speed that make us look like this -
While practice can greatly improve hands, with speed - you either got it or not.

We need to be concentrating on defense, June jones should sign 27 defensive players... it looks like anyone can succeed in Jones offense.

[Grinch]

Ha You're probably right about signing 27 defensive guys.
How about 26 defensive guys and one receiver with 4.3 speed (that can catch). Yowzah

26 Defensive players, 1 tall speedy WR, and a consistent PK (Ayat is gone, Miranda so inconsistent he couldn't be counted on, don't know if C.J. Santiago RS Frosh from St. Louis is still walking on and if so don't know his skill level)

I think that 70 percent defense and the rest can be offense. Maybe one quarterback. We are losing Timmy and Humphrey.

Too bad Humphrey didn't stick around, wasn't it him and Thomas practicing together daily in Cali?
