HH is an eternal optimist for FL recruits (he was always very positive about OSU's chances with Hornsby). Let's hope he's right on this one.

I really do hope he is right. You watch Deonte play once and he is simply a football player. Early in the year when he was on ESPN he was very physical and had a great stiff arm. IMO if he did choose the bucks he could push for playing time next year depending on ginn/and/or gonzo leaving.

Deonte's teammate, Damien Berry, again takes it upon himself to say that the Belle Glades boys will be attending the same school. Although Berry plans to take all of his visits, he considers himself a solid Miami commitment regardless of what happens with Coach Coker.

Funny we keep hearing that from Damien, but not so much from Deonte. Not that I don't think Miami will ultimately be where Deonte ends up (with OSU a close second), but it's just funny that it keeps coming from someone else's mouth.

Miami's woeful season doesn't sound like it is having an adverse affect on blue-chip WR recruit Deonte Thompson, the No. 27-rated prospect in the country. Thompson, who is from talent-rich Belle Glade, Fla., has already visited LSU and tells the Palm Beach Post he also is interested in Florida, Ohio State and USC. His teammate, DB Damien Berry, is a Miami commitment, and UM defensive back Randy Phillips is a good friend. "I see it as an opportunity," Thompson said of the Hurricanes' situation. "Randy tells me that they need playmakers."

They need a little bit more than playmakers.

Glades Central receiver Deonte Thompson was his favorite target, catching five balls for 151 yards. In his first game back from a broken foot, Thompson showed no lingering effects from the injury as he and Holley connected on an 82-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the game.

A trio of prospects from Belle Glade Glades Central, wide receivers Deonte Thompson and Taurus McKinley and safety Damien Berry (a Miami commit), have decided to take multiple official visits together.

Since Thompson is visiting next week, does that mean the other two are joining him? I think HH said on Bnuts the other day that there would be two other suprise Florida visits next weekend...hmmmm

Glades Central rolls

BELLE GLADE ? Bryan Mann threw for 356 yards and six touchdowns to help Glades Central advance with a 56-0 win over Miami Belen in a Class 3A regional quarterfinal at Effie C. Grear Field.

The Raiders (8-3) will host LaBelle (8-3) in a regional semifinal next Friday.

Central bounced back from its Muck Bowl loss this past week in the best possible way, with a dominating win reminiscent of its championship years.

Deonte Thompson had five catches for 127 yards and three touchdowns, as the Raiders shredded the Wolverines' defense through the air.

I was trying to think of who to compare him to, but I really can't think of anyone. The one name that was coming to mind was Steve Smtih from USC. But the thing is that Thompson has more speed.

He is a very fast receiver with nice size. He isnt going to be taken down as easily as some of your speed receivers who can't absorb a hit, b/c they are tiny. He will break tackles, but then use his speed to get seperation and beat you over the top.

Overall if we can land him that would be a steal from the state of Florida, but even in my optimistic head, I just can't get my self to thinking that we will get him. These types of players just don't leave the state of Florida and if they do they tend to stay in the South...

Maybe this weekend will sway him tho...
