Ok, cool.. Thanks for clearing that up. I haven't really had a lot of time to check on the recruiting situation this fall. Hopefully we can keep the momentum going and wind up with a couple more verbal commitments after this weekend's game. Thompson would look great in the scarlet and gray!  |

If you look thorough this thread, I have said all year long that this kid is one of my favorite DTs in the country this year. I have always held out that small, sliver of hope because he always seemed to mention us when discussing possible visits. NOW, I get to be excited. Hopefully Brandon likes his time this weekend enough to commit, because if he stretches it out past this weekend and takes his Clemson/FSU visits I don't think he comes here. I am hearing that this is a make or break trip for Brandon, and with the Brew Crew on hand... PLUS the group going out to dinner with the staff... PLUS the hype surrounding a Willie Mobley commit... it may be easy for Brandon to get caught up in it all, love what he sees, and commits to the staff with Mobley. MAN OH MAN, I cannot wait to see what comes of this!

I'm surprised how low he plays in the trenches. Two words: bull rush

Found this if you're interested. Both are Rivals free links I believe:
The Breakdown: Defensive Tackles
Category Rankings: Defensive Tackles
Brandon ranks as the: - #3 Strongest
- #2 Best Run Stuffer
New SR footage posted as well for Brandon today. I will leave the analysis up to the experts here.

Not an expert but: BAMF...unbelievable first step, plays with great leverage, excellent athleticism, and a zone blockers worst nightmare. One play he actually hits the FB on an option play before the QB can get the ball in the pocket to make a read. Just gets low and drives blockers a mile into the backfield, or just throws them aside if he prefers. On run plays he shows great pursuit angles and athleticism. Great motor as well. How he isn't in the top 100 I have no clue. I'm going to make a very bold statement...best DT in the country next to Marcus Forston.
