RB Aphonso Thomas [SMU - Signed LOI]

247 has an update on him, anyone want to share?

 

[StPaulHusker]

I don't subscribe but it is my guess that he is not going to be committed much longer

 

[Treand3]

Anything but uncommitted. Has no plans to bail on Nebraska and is working to enroll early. Talks to coach Davis all the time and with Terry Wilson.

 

[ScottyIce]

Sweet. Early Enrollment is great for the program, IMO.

You were close on that one.

I read something on Corn Nation or somewhere like that that the coaches have been quiet about him. And the reporter quoting the coaches about having 13 commits when we have 14.
But it's a long time before he can enroll early

If you watch him run, he looks a lot like Melvin Gordon just in the way he actually moves and its not because of the number he wears. Ill call it right now, he will not redshirt if he signs.

That's a pretty lofty call with Newby, Wilbon, Ozigbo, Stevenson returning.

Yes, I'm betting you are too slow. I'm in the same boat, no worries.

Would you believe there are people that said Ameer was too slow?

He doesn't look slow to me running wild for Detroit right now. He did pretty well here at Nebraska too.

I just think it will be hard to deny him playing time

The love affair is strong with recruits..... Forget about all those on the team. "The newest is always the best yet"

It will always be that way. You dont recruit backups. A program that is on the rise is always recruiting guys that can come in and play. Not waiting for a guy to develop in 3 years and he might be as good as the guy he replaced.
