'07 FL WR Deonte Thompson (Florida signee)

[stowfan]

With Tressel running these 5 wide reciever sets we have to look really good to Deonte. We have a full complement of quality QBs in waiting. With Hall and likely Ted Ginn Jr. gone after this year and Gonzo gone after next, the depth chart has to look great.

Too early to tell... but Gonzo MIGHT leave this year along with Teddy.

No way gonzo will leave early.

 

[OSUnumber45]

There are too many good WR's in this draft for him to leave early and be a top draft pick. Jarrett, Johnson, Ginn, Samardzija, and a few others.

Back to Deonte please...

Deonte discusses his upcoming visit to LSU and also the broken foot that will keep him sidelined for 3 more weeks.

I would think if you compare guys like Holmes/Ginn/Gonzo TD production to LSU/FLA WRs.----has got to be comparable with any other schools on his list.....

 

[ol104]

I think distance has more to do with us being a longshot than any other variable such as playcalling,stats potential, exposure, etc.

Got a little tidbit just now when discussing South Carolina's huge commitment of Cliff Matthews. Apparently, South Carolina is creeping up hard as the darkhorse in Deonte's recruitment. With Belle Glades HC Willie Snead playing for and coaching under Spurrier, that could be something to watch...

The Gamecocks are offering immediate playing time and have really stepped up their efforts after stumbling over a few in-state guys.

Something to watch at least...

 

[Taosman]

Wonder if Spurrier will try "hardball" with DT?

Deonte will likely be at the FSU game this weekend.

Does the BPRT have any hunches on where Deonte will end up. I assume all feel he will stay in the South, but where?

I personally think Florida will be a player until the end...and I would not be surprised to see him end up there.
