USA Today: Thomas day before thoughts

[Pony147]

Pushed it back to 2 pm

[Pony_Law]

also he was teasing a hint before his announcement on instagram if he made the follwers but I think they missed the deadline

[GiddyUp]

A&M could have a really good class on paper, but most of you are higher on the individual kids than I am. I want Elijah Thomas, cause I like a good recruiting victory, it ends there.

Wacka Flocka, or whatever his name is, still going to the announcement? lol

well, i am pretty high on Hogg and Gilder. Hogg has a sweet game. Not sure how you cant say this class is awesome so far.

I like Gilder and Davis, never really seen Hogg do much. Ultimately they have a big, possibly bigs, and we need one or two, so edge them. Man up though, I like our class as much as there's, especially if we pick up a kid today.

I retract my statement. Thomas could commit to the South Harmon Institute of Technology at this point....

School probably asked him to move things down just 30 minutes because something came up.

Illinois out.

Illini-Nation ‏ @ IlliniNationNet 11m 11 minutes ago

Have been informed that Elijah Thomas told Illini coaches they are NOT his choic

[SMU1523]

Never felt like Illinois was in the top three.

[Pony_Law]

he keeps putting little tiger emojis in his twitter. Maybe it's LSU to shock the world. That said if Illinois is out that's huge as I thought they had a really strong bead on the kid.

4 hours ago he tweeted..."did yall forget I may want to play football?....hint hint.....Duhhh." Well, folks he could start immediately on the Hilltop. Just sayin. Hmmmmm.

I like Davis a ton. Probably my 2nd favorite big in the class. I think his upside is tremendous, his development from last year is night and day. Just a great looking prospect down low.

Maybe he was trying to stoke some LSU fans but it will still be a shock if he chooses LSU. No way he plays football at LSU or A&M or anywhere. But if he is a huge football fan obviously explains why LSU & A&M might be the choice. sadly Illinois and us suck at that sport.

agreed, saw him live at AAU. Better than the other big on that team.

seems like a card and goofball

[ojaipony]

My take is that we are building a "running" team and Davis, as much as I love the old school big fellas, just doesn't seem to fit that style. I prefer skilled snipers and runners. We are loading up on that and we aren't done yet I'm guessing.

I like Thomas for the same reason hoopman does - the storyline. That's about it.
