Domestic violence in college. Kind of remarkable that he didn't really produce that much at the college level compared to how good he is now.

Wow. Thanks for providing that. It hurts just to read it. I wish I could help that child. I wish they would've cut Hill. Horrific.

He played more RB in college than WR but you're 100% right. He is remarkably explosive, it is kind of shocking he didn't just dominate.

Having watched Kristen play since his freshman year I can assure everyone this kid has enough speed/wiggle to make pro defenders look silly. An underrated part of his game is his hands. Rarely has a drop. Basically he's got all the talent. My one concern is he tends to pout a little bit if things don't go his way. With the culture and coaching he is going to get at the U I'd imagine it will get addressed soon in the process. Pulling for this kid!

If Thomas was faster than Hoskins, he’d be the best RB in the country and a future first round pick.

I'm not worried about Hoskins at all. Nothing is 100%, but this kid will contribute at a high level. Watching his tape and seeing him play basketball, he has all the skills to be Elite.
Kid is 5'9 can jump out of the gym and scored over 1,000 points. He has ball skills that transfer to football.

The Gophers like recruiting multi-sports athletes. This kid can be a Swiss Army Knife. I am looking forward to see how he is utilized.

May gave been underutilized or in a bad scheme for his talents
I have watched him since middle school. My daughter is a classmate of his. He has more wiggle than any high school kid I have ever seen times 2. He doesn’t dance, he makes one move and then is gone. His first step is lightening fast. Whoever said he just runs fast enough to stay ahead of the defense is spot on. Does it all the time.
Watch his basketball highlights to see how quick he is. No one can guard him 1 on 1. No one. They all try. They all fail. Again it is that first step or two. Just crazy quick.
The physical skills are there to be a stud in the B1G. But we all know it takes more than that. Time will tell if he accomplishes great things but I am really pulling for him. I think he can with good coaching and lots of work.
