Juco transfer at Safety, Blake Thompson

[Cyclad]

Looks like we flipped him from Mizzou. His 247 page shows him committed to Mizzou anyways.

We probably out bid them

I think Trevon Howard is a under the radar guy that could claim the third safety spot if he beats out the Juco

1. Howard had about 12 offers, 2. He played at IMG academy which is a ridiculous high school for football talent

Jeremiah Cooper is a stud too. Both freshman safeties could see the field this fall. Time will tell.

Good question. Did McDonald hear about the transfer?

He visited this weekend. Then McDonald and Morgan entered the Portal.

Not sure a guy from IMG could ever be considered under the radar.

I'm not sure he was even a full time starter there. But no doubt he had some really good guys in front of him.

One of the best things about commitments (like the Draft) is seeing the reactions:

One of the big things that I took from watching Last Chance U is what these JUCO players are dealing with compared to P5. They're treated like kings at this level. Every single one of them would bounce from JUCO first chance if they had the opportunity. And the ones that were at P5 prior are like "Man, I gotta get out of here and get back to that level". I think that some of the players that have left ISU recently are going to regret their decisions. Most G5 and all FCS is nothing like they had here.

There we go, sure enough

Congrats Blake! Welcome!

Did the chicken happen first or the egg?

You mean, like, the dog wagging the horse?

The dog came first and ate the chicken.

LOL. Seinfeld was great comedy! And remember the Roster had the final say when he made out with the dog.

Yes, I can hear it. I think it deserved something more though. Like a buzzer or a cane.
