^^ I posted directly from Kendall Thomas's twitter feed he's posted his commitment to the DINS and Bear was correct he's a RB/SB.

The Corner hasn't posted yet but this is worth watching tomorrow.
Yeah - I was just hypothesizing at Zavion Taylor because I couldn’t confirm my earlier hypothesis that it was a RB.

Like Coach (Charles) Schultz...I was wrong once...when I thought I was wrong, but I was actually right. (maybe)

No debate...this time.

A comment about Thomas.

Thomas is listed at 5'7 165. His commitment states that he is a running back (and, by watching his video, a good one). To this point, Furman's backfield targets have all been bigger guys - our "tailbacks" are in the 6'0 190 range (Watkins, Wynn, Anderson). Our "fullbacks" are much bigger - 220+

We do utilize payers as "slotbacks" or "A-Backs" (whatever), but they've tended to be WRs (mostly Gordon, Armstrong, and Bell) and Darius Morehead. The closest physical comp to Thomas on the current roster is Dejuan Bell.

I would expect a player like Thomas (and really, Bell) to be threats in both the running and passing games.

So recent commits are which 3?

The Atlanta CB is Micah Robinson from Westlake - great to see that today !

Kendall Thomas a RB from Texas

**——-Third guy? FUBeAR - "WR Zavion Taylor" ? Or Tyson Thompson

There seemed to be some debate on the third guy?..

Tyson Thompson tweeted a visit picture today from Furman - makes me think it's not him - yet!!!
I'm guessing the 7th commit is someone else, could be wrong.

We offered Tyson back in May but he just posted his pic again 3 hours ago. About the same time the coaches tweeted. Then C Bratton tweeted about how great it is to be a WR coach and Tyson is a WR.
Sticking with my guess.

As I mentioned the other day, think the 3rd commit is Tyson Thompson as well. Some very good gets early on.

FUBeAR is going ‘off the board’ - the 2 new commits are Mike Tyson & either Klay or David Thompson.

I have sources.
