A great pick-up for Michigan.  Thomas sounds like a sure starter in a few years.  If we can solve the tailback situation, I'd love to see him at S pairing up with Wilson to give us a really tough tandem there.  Now if he can convince his cousin to come here.

Love Duane Long's comments about why TSIO hasn't offered Thomas yet:  "I have said this before and I will say it again, the most puzzling lack of an offer out there is Dymonte Thomas." ""

Then he says, "His grades are outstanding. He is known to be a high character kid."

Mystery solved.

Dont remember which player or at what point in the game, but he ran down one of ND's ball carriers from behind. Don't even remember if it was a rb or wr, but I was amazed. I would have never guessed he had enough speed to run down someone like that.

Nice first "Hello:" post, Ace!  I particularly appreciate the depth of the "prediction based on flimsy evidence" portion - for those of us who haven't memorized the depth chart by class (yet) it's really helpful to have it spelled out.

The more years I see of recruiting, I think the following is true:  OSU will not offer any kid early who they think is a strong UM lean.

Long's statement about their failure to offer Dymonte is just one example.  I think OSU coaches suspected what the fan base didn't...that he was never going to consider OSU.  

I have only circumstantial evidence for this, but I think it is probably accurate.  

So the failure of obtaining a OSU offer, used by bucknuts as an example of a subpar candidate, is more a choice of coaches than actual evaluation of the kid's talent.

I think this is true to a degree and Michigan's guilty of it as well. 2013 example would be Cameron Burrows who is supposedly an OSU lean and possibly a better DB then Dymonte. It's a little baffling that we haven't offered him, considering his ability and that he plays for Trotwood-Madison (Roundtree, Shaw, Koger)
