After hinting he might wait past Wednesday, Crenshaw cornerback De’Anthony Thomas said he will announce his college choice at 5 p.m. (PST) on Signing Day at the ESPN zone at L.A. Live. Thomas is considering USC and Oregon.

Would Black Mamba really announce that he’d go to Oregon in a public place like ESPN Zone in LA Live ?? I don’t see him doing that. Sounds like another kid making it interesting before NSD with the rumors. Fight On Mamba ! We know you want to stay home !
It would be shocking if he announced that he’s going anywhere but SC. Agree with TrojanLou. Would this guy really choose Oregon at ESPN in LA?
Oregon’s signing day press conference is scheduled for 1pm, if that provides any more insight into his decision.
what, are the trOXans suggesting it would be unsafe for the Lil’ Mamba to announce OR as his choice within LA city limits?? just ‘nother reason to go quackin’, Lil’ Mamba!!
the Cadre Commit Board still lists Lil’ Mamba as a solid Quacker Commit!!
Lil’ Mamba already knows the trOXans have blasted him as being too puny to compete at Southern Cal…besides, they already have Dillon “Cellphone” Baxter as their scat back!!
He’ll make his announcement down the street from USC.
Highly unlikely that he’ll put himself in a situation where he announces for Oregon in that environment….unless he has the wits of a UCLA graduate…
That just gave me a great idea. When I am finished Marinoviching my child and he is ready to commit to SC, I will have him stage his press conference in Westwood, float rumors that he is headed to UCLA, and then…he announces he is a Trojan. Bwahahaha!
One thing is certain – he never considered ucla an option
this just in: Oregonian has Thomas down as a lock, saying he tipped his hand.
“Two mistakes by Thomas though and that’s all it takes these days. He was reportedly seen buying some Oregon gear on Sunday and reportedly spotted wearing some of it at LAX. No way a 5-star recruit can get in and out of those places without being spotted.”
hmmm…well he was at LAX wearing Duck garb, doesn’t seem like he’s opposed to announing in LA…besides, his family will probably have a big party for him. are they going to all fly up to Eugene?? only Reggie could afford to fly his peeps all around the country.
speaking of which, guess who is listed as the Lil’ Mamba’s Southern Cal recruiter?? that’s right, Todd “the Flipper” McNair!!!
oh, ChuckerBucker, you’ve done it AGAIN!!!
I never knew that UCLA and option could be in the same sentence together…
Anyway, let’s hope ha UCLA can field a team next year so we get some good warm up practice for our 3rd string reserves when we play them next year.
He’s soft anyway, gets hurt easily.
now the Lil’ Mamba bashing re-starts!! how about wishing him well? trOXans are so thin-skinned!! also the Grumble bashing will commence soon!!
Don’t start with that nonsense, 4life.
He’s a teenager. He should be able to go where he wants without criticism.
I want him to be a Trojan just as much as the next guy, but I’ll wish him well no matter what he chooses.
LOL funny…let the DeAnre Thomas bashing begin.

he is very small for USC & Oregon already has a logjam at any spot he could possibly fill
I think Oregon St would be the best place for him – he could be a super star there much like Jaquizz Rodgers was
I just don’t think he is big enough to play – you can’t put on much muscle on such a small kid
@TraneofThought
You may post nice words, but you’re really thinking what the rest of us are saying when he signed with oregon. And we’re all thinking “F#CK YOU black mamba”
