NoALtiger 3,860 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Glad we gave him his chance.But I thought we weren't going to sign him? Ha, it's a fluid thing this recruiting business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouching Tiger 76 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm not convinced we did not get the better of the 2. Already forgot Warrior. I'm a Thomas fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Glad we gave him his chance.But I thought we weren't going to sign him? Ha, it's a fluid thing this recruiting business. Indeed. The really sunshine-y spin is that maybe we told him that to make sure that he didn't miss another opportunity hanging on our "maybe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think Daniel Thomas is a better football player than 1/2 the safeties he's ranked behind. #Auburn— JC Shurburtt (@jcshurburtt) February 3, 2016 reminds me of Darren bates a little.

AuburnSpider 2 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm in but he sure looks smallish. Hope he packs a punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw man, don't get my hopes up. LOVED that guy. Mean as hell. And exactly the kind of LB I was thinking Thomas might turn into (based off no legit info whatsoever, just hoping probably). I soooo hope you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steeleagle 2,945 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 HE looks good on film and really goes for the INT and great hands. So, what made him only a 3*? He is too small for a Safety? Isnt he as big as Rudy Ford? i didnt look at his tackling ability..since most show all his INTs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUApostle 7,651 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Apparently Muschamp was close to getting his commit before he left. So it would seem that he had him rated over Warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Why has Thomas been described as undersized? 20#s heavier than Character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom had Warrior higher. We had made a big move w/ Warrior behind the scenes til just before Boom & crew left. We lost all the momentum but Coach Crimedog did a hell of a job picking up the ball & making UT fight like hell to hold Warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'm glad this worked out. I think Thomas is solid as a player. He's got incredible closing speed and is a solid tackler as well. I love his highlights. He's my dark horse starter by 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
