Are we recruiting this kid? He's a verbal to Wisconsin. Making plays all over the field against Trinity Christian. Has the size and instinct to play early IMO especially since Denzel is leaving. Very Luke Keuchly* like.......

If Miami hires Dav Aranda to replace Donofrio then Miami would probably take a look at him, but I doubt it. But don't forget UM has Juwon Young. Other than being white lets be easy with the Luke Keuchly comparison's, Keuchly is bad *** dude who I still can't believe ran down Lamar Miller in open field. Thomas is making some impressive plays tonight against the Trinity Christian athletes.

I will say this there are two LB's in the 2015 class from Cali that Keuchly-esk : Ben Humfreys has the best combination of instincts and range I have seen in the class and he is going to Duke, Kaaya got him a UM offer an was recruiting him, but he chose education over miami. The other LB is EDDIE RUDINSKI who has incredible quickness and ran one of the fastest 20yd Shuttle runs in the country this summer ( but Nick Thomas ran a faster shuttle time, which is a testament to his IMG trak training, because his 12.4 sec 100m and 4.9 sec 40yd is not ideal).
Rudinski brings a blue collar attitude in and natural strength when he plays, there is a poster here who's son plays on the high school team with him.

Updated:

After digging a little more I would have to say I now like LB Nick Thomas as much as the other two i mentioned above and would gladly take him as a replacement to Fill George Claudes spot, and Thomas is a mid year enrollee. After tonights performance Hurley brown maybe paying him a visit. I wonder if Matt Patchan has been in his ear.

Never heard of him but since you said he's very Keuchly like then he must be white.
 
Not only was it a white comparison it was also a comparison between their ability to be the vocal leaders on their team. And has the game to back it up and lead by example . These are the types of kids who we need as field generals for our D. Regardless of who the coordinator is.

These annoucers are soooooo biased against miami its ridiculous. The UF love fest is sicking, **** they are giving Utah and Wisconsin more recruiting love ( as the kids say) than UM.

Well apparently UM's staff tried to recruit him then stopped, but his IMG teammates who are committed to Miami continued to try an get him to come down to UM for a visit with them but he declined. An this weekend while on a Visit to Wisconsin he helped land two 310lbs Polynesian Nose Tackle commitments for Wisconsin from Olive Sagapolu (from Cali) and Elu Aydon (all the way from the islands of American Samoa). **** now that is how you recruit some NT's, Wisconsin went 7000 miles to find a beast of a young man. An for anyone that has seen polynesian football well Miami should take a page from that book, cause them boys are hella big and very angry when they play.

Here is the article on 2015 ILB Nick Thomas recruitment by committed UM teammates

An actually I was hoping Jethro Franklin would have made a run at 2015 NT Olive Sagapolu (from Cali) the boy can move for a 310lb'er.

Dave Aranda is quietly putting together talent up their in Wisconsin for his 3-4 defensive scheme between the Florida boys he is bring in and the Polynesians.

2015 LB Nick Thomas has reopened his commitment to Wisconson, with the head coach leaving for Oregon State. The offers have been flooding in for this kid in the last 24hrs but since he is an Early Enrollee his decision will have to be made reliatively quickly so the inside track has to be given to schools his teammates are currently committed to.

Arkansas has put up a mobile bulletin for him on campus along with his IMG Teammate from Denmark who is a Ark commit. UM is also in a good position to land this kid because Scott Patchan & Ryan Fines both have been on him none stop for months to get him to visit an commit to UM. You will also notice Thomas wears #44 like another stud LB from Miami's past.

Thomas would be a huge pick up for the defense because he has a high football IQ an can run sideline to sideline.

This kid impressed me when I watched IMF. He's a kid I wanted us to recruit badly. Kid looks ready to log time Now for us it should be a full court press for his services from us.

Would love for us to land Nick Thomas. He wasn't having any of it from his IMG teammates about Miami cause he was dead set on Wisconsin.

Hope they try and reel him here again.
 
Golden was at IMG Academy today supposedly then he went and did an IN home with the Patchan's family. So hopefully he had good sense an spent some time with Thomas. Demetrius Jackson may have to give up that #44 and instead wear #4 which as a dlinemen would be interesting.
