Early today, LSU receivers coach Dameyune Craig sent out a pair of tweet signaling LSU may have gained another member to the 2017 verbal commitment list.
This came as a bit of surprise, as there were no known pending announcements nor LSU football events that might precede a commitment. On Twitter, Wes Shepherd directed me toward Justin Thomas, citing the area code in Craig’s first tweet.
Sure enough, the recruiting services later confirmed that Spanish Fort DE Justin Thomas pledged to LSU. Thomas wasn’t a heavily picked prospect on the Crystal Ball, but of the three predictions prior to the commitment today, only LSU recruiting beat writer Shea Dixon picked Thomas to LSU.
