Hey all, been gone for a couple of weeks, so I haven't been doing a very good job of spring updates. Sorry. Hopefully (and unfortunately for some), I hope to be back posting 'regularly' in the next week or so.
Anyway, I'm sure most of you have found plenty of resources elsewhere to get your spring fix.
I figured Ahmad deserved his own thread. For those that don't know, Ahmad Thomas is a true freshman (early enrollee) from Miami. He was pretty highly recruited, but was kind of an "under the radar" guy for most Sooner fans. He didn't get the same hype as Hatari Byrd and L.J. Moore (also defensive backs) when he signed. However, there is early evidence that this kid is the "real deal".
From what I've heard, he has the potential to be an All-Conference/All-American type player. He's already (physically) on the college level for a safety, and apparently hit's like a truck. The better news is that he prides himself on his coverage ability.
He's also from that Miami 'inner city' school, in that he brings a presence of "nasty" when he's on the field (you could say "swagger", but I personally hate that word). Kind of a throw-back player from the Miami (the "U") days. Nasty, but not dirty.
If you haven't had a chance to see the kid, Google his name. I promise he doesn't look like a true freshman.
Thought I point him out...another player to watch in the spring game (he's #18).
