This Helps To Explain Kelvin Thompson

Postby 50's PONY » Sun Feb 05, 2006 6:46 pm

Re: Kelvin Thompson ?? [re: 22 HORN]




Kevin lives with his aunt and takes all of his calls which makes it difficult to get hold of him.I know of 3 div 1 schools which were interested in him however he held off too long with the hope of a call from the horns.I guess Texas did not feel the need for him for what ever reason.He will land some some were because he has the ability to play at a div.1 school .He rushed for330 yards against Aledo and would have had 300 yards against Stephenville if 1 run would not have been called back due to an unnessary holding call

Based on all the stories out there about what schools will do to land a recruit, it's hard to believe that Aunt Phone Blocker is a major deterrent. If he's as good as everyone says, I'd think coaches would be lined up outside his door all the time. There's got to be more to the story.

I agree. With all the stories tales about how persistent coaches are, there has to be more to it. What that is, I don't know.

well it would not appear to be academics-because He was named to Texas State All-Academic Team. I think in this case he really may have been holding out for a better offer although I don't think UT has really been a possibility for awhile. I saw a quote from his coach which gave no indication of some special reason-other than he was holding out for a better offer. Now its possible he took his SAT/ACT real late or he got a uncharacteristic bad grade in a required core class-these things do happen sometimes to even excellent students.
