I can't access it, no premium

However, with what I've seen already (the freshman clip) and his offer list I'm not really sold. His weight is a nice asset but right now this doesn't phase me too much

As a player, I wouldn't mind if he played like him.


He runs really tall like blount. Uses his size well, I like it.

The weight is inconsequential in terms of a S&C program putting on proper lean mass and properly using his frame. The fact that he is running so well at 225 pounds though suggest that he has room to add good weight and that he has a solid frame to build on. That is why weight out of high school matters, not because he is that big but he has the potential to be a big RB with low bodyfat and some speed

HOLY shite. I just watched Racean Thomas's highlights. That had to have been the best highlight film I've ever seen from a high schooler.

Yea i agree. If they plan to use him in the Eric Smith/2009 Fannin role, seems like a solid pickup

I think he ends up at that H-back role but still I like the way he runs inside the tackles. Also it is nice to finally have a commitment from a RB that is 210+ lbs. Kid is big

Cam Artis-Payne and Peyton Barber were both over 210 pounds.

Peyton Barber from our last signing class is 210+ probably close to 220 now

Dude looks strong. I'm interested to see the attitude/mindset of the team after a few months under Gus.

@WarBlogle: Due purely to Bama fan head coaches. WE @TrueBlueAU Unless I'm missing someone, Auburn hasn't had a player from Prattville, AL since 2008.

Needed a break from recruiting, but I'm assuming we owe this commitment to Craig? Bodes well for the future

True I guess it is because I haven't seen these guys on the field yet. It is nice overall to see us bringing in these bigger backs is my point

No link, but according to Das Boonker, Roc Thomas has us and Georgia in his top two now.

I smell Peaches all over this...

People are speculating that Bama is slow playing Roc due to not needed more RBs. I mean Bo is a legit RB prospect and they may get LF (doubtful but still a chance)

Looks like that's coming from ESPN, so take it with the largest grain of salt possible

I really hope this will finally be the year where a recruit tells Bama to screw off for doing them like this. You'd think after the Darius Page fiasco, enough guys would take a hint

Dream school and most dominant program in a generation has its allure.


But seriously, it will end eventually. There will have to be a player that sticks it out. If it is Roc I will be happy.

Afraid they will just push him to UGA instead of AU
