Yeah LT (Lamaar Thomas) < I just made that up, and Terrelle Pryor are both in the Facebook group "Bring TP to tOSU". So I'd say that looks pretty good!

This kid needs to go to tOSU!

This kid is one of my all time favorites that I want to be in this class. He is an absolute game breaker.

Okay...I am gonna say this, and I am probably gonna be destroyed on the board for saying it, but I am a pretty straight shooter and try not to drink too much of the Scarlet and Gray Kool-Aid so here it goes...

I have questions about Thomas. Not about his talent and ability, but if he is going to be used properly by JT. Maurice Wells has a lot of similar skills to Lamarr including body type. Thomas is not going to be a between the tackles runner. Wells in my opinion, has been used completely wrong by the staff. Wells needs to be utilized through pitches, sweeps, swing & screen passes, and slot receiver alignments. All of these things accomplish one goal...getting a shifty, elusive player of their caliber out in space to create. JT hasn't done that with Wells, and now people are under the impression that this kid can't play. That couldn't be further from the truth. I am scared that Thomas is going to fall into this same stigma. I'm sorry but as much as I am a fan, I am also objective to what I see. I hope that they truely use Thomas' unique talents to add another facet to this offense to open up other facets.

I agree completely. I was under the assumption that Thomas would not play running back. I see him in the slot receiver/Flanker/Special Teams role. Not as an RB.

I thought the staff made a promise to Torrence that he would be the only RB taken in this years class. With that information, I made the assumption that Thomas would be used in the roles I metioned above. I do not see Thomas coming out of the backfield, unless under alternative circumstances(direct snap,etc.) for OSU.

Well that is the exceptional thing that makes someone of Thomas' abilities so valuable. He can play a little bit of running back too. You are right in statig that he will not be a running back primarily. But he could fill in there if there is a Wells transfer, or an injury or two. Thomas is guy that could present so many things to challenge a defense though. Even if Beanie and Devoe are your road graders at the position. You can spread Thomas out wide, in the slot, or have him come out of the backfield in motion situations to get him one on one with a LB. He is a guy who can create mismatches in the passing game that Beanie and Devoe won't. IF THE STAFF USES HIM CORRECTLY.

MagicBuc

Would you consider him a polished enough receiver to become a downfield vertical threat? It took Ginn a couple of years to improve his route running.

Just think of the damage Thomas could do with Brandon Saine if they're both on the field.....with Pryor.
