Earl Thomas news...

[WOSHIGHc/o2001]

Texas safety Earl Thomas told me tonite he's not leaving for the NFL early as a third-year soph. Seemed pretty committed to that choice.

Did Earl Thomas wear number 12 in high school? I find it interesting that he and McCoy both wear the number and one is in contention for the Heisman and the other for the Thorpe.

Don't think so.

Yes, he wore #12 in high school

That's probably a smart move for Earl, even though he could and should win the Thorpe.  Eric Berry will be the first safety taken and Taylor Mays combine numbers will make him the next safety taken even though Thomas is better.  One thing hurting Earl's draft stock at safety is his size.  He's a little undersized for a NFL safety.  But next year he would probably be the undisputed number 1 safety in the draft.

I think Earl will play corner in the league.

You're probably right.  Probably similar to Vasher.

Usually guys thinking of coming out early have people talk with NFL people and get an idea of where they will go in the draft. Usually that is done later on after the season. If Kevin did that for Earl, does anyone know where Earl was projected to go in the draft? Earl is a great young man and player and I wish him the very best whether he stays or goes!!

[MMSLB]

Never mind, I just saw on KOGT.com where he is a projected 2nd round pick.

the smart move for ET ,is to stay at TEXAS one more year.earl dose need to put on a few more pounds this summer he is a very smart young man ,he knows that the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ will be ther for him when he is ready. back when K.SMITH played at AM the presser on the kid was on his back every day of the week,but he stuck it out and look what it got him#! draft  by the cowboys  :) :) :).jerry jones and wade might just keep a close eye on ET if he can just stick it out. #! is better than #2  dont you think
