Absolutely thrilled to get bonafide track speed on the team to compliment other backs. Hasiak is probably the biggest last second splash today. It stinks to lose Sanders but some attrition on signing day is unavoidable so long as the cut doesn't become a knife wound.

Hope you're right Jay. We need a couple 5 stars to round out the year. And taking from SUC is the best way to do it.

I don't know how they got Thigpen to sign but this guy is a rocket ship, under 4.4 in the 40 and can bench almost 300 pounds! A slightly taller version of Maurice Drew!! Watch some of his highlights, wow!!
