WR/RB Lamaar "Flash" Thomas (transfer to New Mexico)

[Fungo Squiggly]

Could someone please inform me of when this announcement is taking place?
I'd appreciate it much.

It's kind of gotten buried in some of the idle chatter. It is on ESPNU at halftime of this evening's game between Alabama A&M and Arkansas Pine-Bluff. A&M wins in a rout, by the way. :p

Haha, I believe it has. Thanks so much. Go Bucks.

Per ESPN insiders..

Lamar Thomas will go to Illinois.

 

[BuckeyeSoldier]

Lamar Thomas will go to Illinois.

Ill wait till i get the OFFICIAL buckeyeplanet seal on that... or just hear it from his own mouth.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Lamar Thomas will go to Illinois.

What are ESPN insiders?

 

[t_BuckeyeScott]

Not really sure where you're reading that. On a chat yesterday Haubert said Illinois but that he had NO inside info.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

Per ESPN insiders.

ahh, espn insiders... the bastion of college recruiting information.

 

[PlanetFrnd]

Also checked ESPN, didn't see that info anywhere - still lists Thomas as down to three - not to mention that it would be weird of ESPN to leak information that they want people to tune into later tonight...

 

[eobuck]

All ESPN Insiders has said is a prediction/opinion based on NO inside info. I predict he goes to OSU! Same thing.

Agreed this is the piece from a chat session:

this was the question asked in the chat today

Raymond - Illinois: Where does Lamar Thomas commit to tomorrow on ESPNU?

Craig: Good call Raymond -- Thomas will be committing on the U tomorrow during halftime of the U's Thursday night game. I have no special insight, but I think that Maryland to Illinois pipeline stikes again.

Take it FWIW.

OK - You have no special insight. If you are wrong then you look like you plain guessed wrong - if right, plain lucky in your guess.

 

[reisende]

He has no more special insight than the Illinois fans out there who claim the Illinois - Maryland pipeline is a mortal lock. He could very well choose the Zookers, but let's not give these ESPN dudes too much credence.

Nobody claims Illinois has a pipeline to Maryland.

Dunbar in D.C. maybe ... especially if we land Reggie Ellis ... but not Maryland.

 

[sandgk]

Nobody claims Illinois has a pipeline to Maryland.

You really ought to direct that corrective to the all knowing Craig at ESPN "Insiders"

 

[Illinibat]

Anyway

May I ask what tOSU's scholarship situation will be if Thomas commits?

Specifically, will you have room for Cordale Scott?

Thanks.

 

[t_BuckeyeScott]

Absolutely will have room for Scott. As I understand the staff is pretty much counting him as in.
