No touching!
i'll put this in this thread too...
nevada has said that there is a very, very, very (yes, 3 verys) good chance that Joe Thomas will be a part of this class. now Bill Greene has chimed in and said that too.
edit: my bad... Bill said maybe and hopefully soon...

Never Forget 31-0
I would say the decision by Brown increases the chances that Thomas ends up at Ohio State.

St. Ignatius vs. St. Edward
What, when, where: Nonleague game, 7 p.m., Lakewood Stadium.
Lakewood Stadium is located at the intersection of Bunts Road and Madison Avenue. Call 216-521-8828. The game is a sellout.
Records: St. Ignatius 5-2; St. Edward 6-0.
What to watch: The "Madhouse on Madison" will be rocking to the tune of the 41st meeting between the area's fourth- ranked Wildcats and second-ranked Eagles. The Wildcats lead the series, 21-18-1. Despite some key injuries on defense, St. Edward has played solid football on both sides of the ball and will be looking for its first victory over the Wildcats since 2001, when Shaun Carney (now at Air Force) engineered a 44-41 overtime victory. St. Ignatius is seeking its 18th consecutive trip to the Division I playoffs, and the Eagles are looking to advance to the Division I postseason for the sixth consecutive year.

Eagles' defense sacks the 'Cats
Sunday, October 16, 2005 Eddie Dwyer
Plain Dealer Reporter
St. Edward junior tailback Frank Ed monds said his team never gave up on him Saturday night.
Edmonds, bottled up for three quarters by a staunch St. Ignatius defense, came on strong in the final 12 minutes and combined with the Eagles' defense in turning back the Wildcats, 10-7, in front of a standing-room crowd of more than 10,000 at Lakewood Stadium.
St. Edward, with Edmonds rushing for 75 of his 120 yards in the fourth quarter and scoring the winning touchdown with 9:04 remaining, improved to 7-0 and probably earned its seventh consecutive Division I playoff appearance.
St. Ignatius, whose 18th consecutive trip to the Division I postseason might depend on the outcome of next weekend's home matchup with Ohio's top-ranked Cincinnati St. Xavier, slipped to 5-3. The Wildcats are 0-18 against St. Edward when they score 13 or less points.
"I knew I had to pick it up, and the offensive line did a great job staying on their blocks," said Edmonds, who carried the ball 34 times. "We finished strong, and it was a great, great competition."
Both defenses were especially strong in a scoreless first half as the Wildcats turned the Eagles away at the St. Ignatius 44-, 12- and 40-yard lines and also came up with interceptions by junior linebacker Pat Mascia and junior defensive back Bryan Sylvester.
St. Edward's defense sacked St. Ignatius senior quarterback Rudy Kirbus three times in the first 24 minutes and hurried him on several other pass attempts.
Neither team was able to run the football effectively in the first half, with the Wildcats limiting Edmonds to 30 yards rushing on his first 13 carries. St. Ignatius had minus-15 yards rushing in the first two quarters.
In a serious note, play was stopped for nearly 10 minutes in the first quarter when an official was knocked hard to the turf after colliding with two St. Edward defensive backs and St. Ignatius two-way end John Ryan. The official was taken from the field on a stretcher and transported by ambulance to Lakewood Hospital for treatment.
St. Edward scored first after 6-3, 225-pound junior split end Kyle Hubbard hauled in a pass at the St. Ignatius 32 and was tackled at the Wildcats' 5.
But St. Ignatius' defense, led by the pursuit of senior tackle Marty Kern, forced the Eagles to settle for a 21-yard field goal by Ben Rios.
St. Edward's lead was short-lived, however, as the Wildcats responded with a four-play, 58-yard drive that featured a 2-yard touchdown pass from Kirbus to Ryan off a perfect play-action fake by Kirbus. The touchdown was set up by a 41-yard pass from Kirbus to senior wideout David Thompson.
But just when St. Ignatius was riding the momentum, St. Edward's defense and special teams turned the tide.
First it was an interception in the Eagles' end zone by senior cornerback Chris Divis and then standout junior safety Nate Oliver, who was a force all night, recovered a fumbled punt at the Wildcats' 47. Five plays later, Edmonds took the handoff, found a seam, bounced outside and went 29 yards down the left sideline for the score that gave St. Edward its 19th victory in 41 meetings with its West Side rival.
From that point, the Eagles were able to take it home behind Edmonds' running and more clutch defense.
"I would love to have one more play back," said St. Ignatius' veteran defensive line coach Dan Corrigan, referring to Edmonds' game-winner. "But he broke it well."

Well, I guess it would make sense to go to a bad team and get early playing time than to play for a great program and face the possibility of having to sit for a while.

Sorry but Gary is not a great source for info...he takes great pictures and his dedication to the HS scene is admirable, but he drinks the kool-aid too often.
Thomas is certainly saying he is a solid commitment to Pitt, but that is for public knowledge, There is more going on behind the scenes than any of us know.

Don't get me wrong, he could very well end up at Pitt, but there are too many whispers for there to be "no interest."
