aubiefifty 18,508 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Back to top First, the man has a sub 11 second 100 meter at nearly 210 lbs. He is not deceptively fast, he is fast. Second, he catches anything close to him, and they are 80/20 throws. Third, he is great in space, go check his tapes, his high school coaches knew it. Just get him the ball, flairs, swing, no need for 50 yard passes, just get the friggin ball in his hands and he will do the rest. So he takes a few games to get acclimated. Oklahoma rolls into Jordan Hare triple covering Coleman, and after about six catches and two tds they will be saying can someone please cover MR. Thompson. it is so slow today so i found this on the rant and it makes a lot of sense.they are not my words but i believe them and hope they are true........ 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just believe bc he didn't enroll early that he has been kind of out of sight, out of mind. Once he hits the field for fall practice, I bet you he starts turning heads very quickly. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he hits the field for fall practice, I bet you he starts turning heads very quickly. I agree with you too. I think he'll do really well here. I don't think he will see the field as much as Cam Coleman early on but PT will absolutely be a big playmaker for us with his big frame. When Perry flipped from Bama to us on Big Cat Weekend last year, it was huge but expected. Then Cam Coleman flipped from Texas A&M to us and it blew the roof off because nobody was expecting it, especially at the time he flipped. I think that, coupled with the recruiting services dropping PT from a 5 star to a 4 star, kinda hurt the buzz around PT. And since he wasn't enrolled for spring, it put more fan focus on Cam. I think Malcolm Simmons is in that same boat with PT. He wasn't an early enrollee so we didn't see him at spring practices and fans kinda forget about him. As you said "Out of sight, out of mind." I can't wait to see them on Gameday. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s OL speed. I get the just of it…Thompson is fast…was just worded poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think PT is a monster! And I think he likes that the attention is elsewhere while he quietly works! I think PT, CC, and MS all have legit superstar potential!!!! The “which one of our elite FR WRs are going to rewrite the record books” debate is so much more fun than the “why the heck can’t we sign an OL” debate we had for about 5 years!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotsAU 1,390 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Some folks may be discounting him. I’m not. Because Coleman came to campus earlier, I think he’ll emerge as a great receiver before Thompson. However, when all is said and done, I think Thompson will prove to be actually a little better than Coleman. FYi… This isn’t a shot against Coleman. I think they both have elite potential, especially in this offensive system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have predicted in 2016 that Eli Stove would finish his career at AU with more stats than Kyle Davis and Nate Craig-Myers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
