Yeah, to be honest, I expect him to end up at 'Bama or VT.

I just hope we land one of his officials. You get a kid on an official, you never know.

Justin Thorton moved his commitment up to next Sunday after his Auburn visit. BM has predicted him to Auburn.

What's the story on this kid? Great offer list, but he's 6'6, 220 lbs.

Lemonier was about that size in high school right? (Though probably a couple of inches shorter... )

Yep, he came in around 6'4 220.

As for Thornton, he has the ideal frame, he just needs more work in the weight room. I'm sure he'll put on some more weight between now and when he enrolls at whichever school he chooses. He's a very good prospect, but his grades will need some work.

If Craig got Chris Casher into FSU, he can do it with Thornton

Right. I don't think he was quite this tall. Saw he runs a 4.8. So he's a speed rusher? Just curious because his dimensions are long and lean.

I hate you cause that's what I'll be doing from now on whenever I eat chicken

And if Thorton commits what's the chance he actually qualifies and makes it on campus

He seems to have a great frame to add weight. Solid, safe bet at DE. I think he'll be a contributor for several years wherever he goes. With BM and the FSU 247 guy both flipping their prediction to us I have to think we're in pretty good shape to pick up his commitment next Sunday.

Seems like he'll have to go the JuCo route before ever becoming a household name.

Thornton reminds me a lot of Barkevious Mingo. Crazy quickness, but VERY raw and needs a lot of polishing. But when he does develop moves, wow.

So like Fairley, who stuck with Auburn through JuCo and a staff change would definently be worth the wait

Link? You must have one because you're on every thread about this kid, and won't shut up about his terrible grades.

Somebody pissed in your Cheerios this morning, it appears. It's no secret. Kid is either really stupid or just doesn't try in school. Anyone who follows recruiting knows about this.
