People can try and describe it, but you really can't appreciate how great the bank is until you see it for yourself.
I don't think his mom was here for his unofficial. Hopefully he makes an OV and she comes out with him for it.
I want both. We are desperately weak and thin at TE.
:nod: Pretty sure both would play a LOT.

3 TE in one class?
and not a single one would RS imho.
Absolutely. We didn't get one in the 2011 class. 1 or 2 would play as true freshmen.
Edit: I'm obviously a bit higher on Slavin than Snow is. :smile2: I think he'll be a solid option who will get a lot of minutes next year.
I'll take both for $1000. Could really turn into a two headed monster next year.
I'm rich bitch!
Hell yes. Look at Stanford, they go five or six deep and the top three all get legitimate touches every game.

Sweet. I love the idea of a dominant TE at all times.
Probably. You never know until they start practicing, though. I would have never guessed that Spruce would be redshirting this year while McCullough got significant PT.
Ya. Or that Speedy would start over DScott, etc.

I heard from someone with a close tie to the program that Thornton is really struggling with the playbook. His athleticism may be intriguing, but if he doesn't know what to do on plays, it's tough to have him on the field. Hopefully he corrects this
to struggle, you must first try.
It would not be a stretch to say that if we get McNamara, JCF, along with Irwin that Thornton would quickly become #4 on the depth chart. I like Thorntons athletic ability but he hasn't stepped up and made plays.
On the other hand there is a reason why bunches of schools would like to have McNamara or JCF and Irwin looks like a more complete player on tape than Thornton and it is hard to argue with his attitude.
I have seen a number of occasions where Embree has just ripped into Thornton for costly mistakes or what I would assume are blown assignments. I get the impression that part of why he is playing is simply because we don't have better options at the moment.

Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.
somebody give him some Yoda rep.
But if you don't try, do you struggle?

Not obsessed with rep stature is Yoda. Gleeb others who insecure are.
I don't see him ever getting it. The interception near the goal line that Tyler threw vs. ASU, he definitely expected Thornton to be where the ball went. He was yelling at him after that play.
We also haven's seen Slavin too much so I can't imagine anyone is high on him. We have to have players that can contribute. We can't whiff very often and the last 2 Hawk classes were flat out scary how many guys will never contribute.

His qb at Whitney hs, Jake Rodriguez is a Oregon commit. I have zero inside info but just see him going that direction even with Baylis. I would love to be wrong.
