I've seen Thompkins mentioned a few different places as someone people think will end up in the portal. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.More than likely end up in the portal:
Demariyon Houston
Rahmir Johnson
Ronald Thompkins
David Alston
--------------------------------------------------
I think the following stay but wouldn't be surprised either. Tate Wildeman, Jackson Hannah, Chris Walker, Jordon Riley
At the end of the day he has 5 rushing attempts in 2 years. I'm not sure he's better than Scott, Morrison, or Ervin...even Yant is gonna see some carries. He has never been healthy even in HS. I see him moving to a smaller D1 school closer to home. I hope he proves me wrong.I've seen Thompkins mentioned a few different places as someone people think will end up in the portal.

Rumor has it he's our most complete back and has been healthy (knee wise). He missed time last season bc of Covid and academic issues.
That's fair. From what I've seen, his knees have not been an issue here (except when he first arrived and was still healing from that injury). If the rumor is true that he's the most complete back (and he's healthy), I expect he'll be at the top of the depth chart come this season. I'm not sure he'd find a better opportunity somewhere else.At the end of the day he has 5 rushing attempts in 2 years.

I don't remember. Did he play in the spring game or was he kept out?That's fair.

Thompkins is on scholarship.I thought he walked on bc/ of the injuries.
Bivens. He is no longer with the team for whatever reason. He did walk on for a bitIt was Thompkins. I thought one of the RB's from the previous class, that had bad knee problems walked on. Maybe he was put on scholly later? Or maybe I hallunicated the whole thing.
He was terrible. No way.I wish we'd give TJ Finley a look. I thought he played fairly well last year for LSU as a true freshman QB who wasn't expecting to play.
