Is this the kid from Oxford?  If so according to the skreets Rivals, Scout and any other recruiting service it will be tough to keep him from flipping.  If the kid from Louisiana commits to LSU then there will be a push for him from bama.  Glad to have him aboard, but will wait until Feb to get excited about him.

Yup, which is why Auburn will also go after RB/ATH Darrell Williams. Different scenarios to look at here:

1. LSU gets Fournette, uat flips Roc, Auburn gets Williams.
2. uat gets Fournette, LSU gets Williams, Auburn keeps Roc
3. uat gets Fournette, LSU gets Williams, uat pays Roc to go "anywhere but Auburn"
4. LSU gets Fournette, uat flips Roc, LSU pays Williams to go "anywhere but Auburn"

At some point, players have to consider depth charts.  Bama signed 4 of the top 50 running backs in america this year.  They already have a sophomore heisman candidate in yeldon.  Why in the hell would you flip to them right now?  DUMB QUESTION?

According to my Bama friend (is there such a thing?) Thomas "don't have an offer anyway.  He's about five down on the list of players they recruitin' but if things don't work out with them other four or five then they may give him a shot."

Yeah, why would they want one of the top RBs in the Country? When it comes to agility, he's the top. He's a Carnell Williams clone, a "Game Changer".

They "didn't want" Carnell either, IIRC?

That's right...they didn't want him, iirc he grew up a bama fan but they didn't show interest, so he committed to UT early on. Then he flipped to Auburn.

Star football recruit has choice words for ’bama fan

By Dwight Perry /

The Seattle Times

Racean “Roc” Thomas must have one heck of a stiff-arm.

The five-star running-back recruit from Oxford, Ala., got into it with a Crimson Tide football fan on Ask.fm, leading to this online exchange:

Fan: “ROC the right choice for ya is to join the best damn program in the nation!!!! why would you even consider a trash ass school like AW-BARN?!? its a no brainer really.”

Thomas: “I don’t think you get it. I earned the opportunity, the offers, the choices. So I can decide wherever whether its auburn bama or ITT tech! I’m not here to make you or any other fan happy. My goal is to put a smile on my FAMILYS’ face!”

If I remember correctly, someone here said we weren't even in the mix. He reminds me of an Omac/Cadillac type of runner. He'll break records on the Plains in Gus's offense.

Not sure who said that we weren't in the mix, but this is what I stated (I still somewhat feel this way)


he was the player that I was going to pick to flip, if he ever committed to Auburn. He's still ”undecided”, but as soon as uat tells him to jump, he'll do it without questions...regardless if he's committed elsewhere.

They (uat) have Lenard Fournette higher on their list, but they'll take Roc whenever they want to. They don't want him playing at Auburn, in a system that'd be perfect for him.

Why should we not still love Yeldon? That's not a very Christian attitude to take. We should all love TJ and show him true AU spirit and extend the fig leaf.

We should love him even after he rolls up 150 in JHS. Shouldn't we? Come on now! Let's love TJ like he's still a part of our family!!

Here's a kid I watched last night catch a ball in a crowd and score. Big receiver with decent hands. Not sure how talented he is, last night was only game I have seen him in. I heard he weight a bit more than 200#.

Boy if there was ever a kid meant for this offense this one is it-time will tell. Similar stature to Mason and CAP with speed and hands. I won't say the name but he reminds me of ex Okla. St./Buffalo Bill RB.

Soitenly. Amazing the talent level in the SE alone. The Turds already have 6, 7 if you count Kamara who really hasn't recouped from the bum knee. This is the type of game changer the OSUrban's desire too.The Dabo's can pilfer talent nearby as well.

And just how does a kid from the state of Alabama work out the travel and expenses for a cross country tour to the Pacific NW? Hmm!

I think he signs with Auburn. Plus he gets some time to break in with our whole starting backfield all being current Jrs. and an entire veteran OL returning next season.
