Dymonte Thomas On Track to Enroll Early.

    Vonn Bell is a free safety, and Thomas is likely to be a strong safety so comparisons come with a grain of salt. That said, Bell is 6'1", runs a legit 4.4 forty, and has the ball skills of an elite receiver. Bell is a big-time elite safety with offers from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Ohio State, Texas, and Notre Dame.

    He'll probably end up the higher rated of the two, but I would also guess he doesn't end up outside of the SEC.

    Heh. You say this as if Dymonte Thomas is NOT a "big time elite safety." If he wasn't he wouldn't be ranked where he is.

    Not interested in probabilities. Thomas is the higher ranked RIGHT NOW on what has been the most accurate recruiting service, and a tick below on the other.

    That does not equate to - RIGHT NOW - an inferior prospect as was indicated earlier. As or RIGHT NOW, Thomas is ranked as the 8th best safety in the US on RIvals; Bell, 19th. Dude said Bell was the superior prospect (and was seemingly implying "far superior") and the most accurate recruiting services do not support that.

    That was my only point.

    be real now, vonn bell is the better prospect. have you read any articles that the staff have written? that said the bucknut didnt say anything wrong. he simply stated we would love to have thomas in the class because he is a great prospect, but as a bucknut i can agree with what he said that next to nobody believed this kid would or will switch.

    Are you sure about that? roflmao

    Actually, I'm saying this as if I expect Vonn Bell to become a unanimous 5-star safety recruit, which I don't think will be true of Thomas.

    As of right now, Rivals' ranking is ludicrous. 247, the site who's analysis you pay for, has Bell as the second best safety. ESPN has Bell as the fifth best safety, Scout has him as the third best safety.

    Rivals has Bell a half dozen spots behind Jayme Thompson, so I'm betting their safety rankings get a huge revision.

    Interesting. I didn't realize a lot of the 24/7 evaluators came from Rivals. Do you mind elaborating, blue2468? Thanks much

    Yep, the creator of this website was the one that originally created Rivals back when they first started up, but he ended up selling it to Yahoo! a few years ago. After a while, he wanted to create a new company and ended up poaching a lot of the major sites from Rivals (such as BamaOnline and many others) as well as taking a majority of their top analysis ts as well to create this site.

    Can't, it's a thread on the Front Row and only BN subscribers can post on that board (and mods of course).
