Expert Picks (247)
Adams: Stanford. "Even with his sister at Arkansas, nothing has occurred down the stretch to make me think Thomas goes anywhere but Stanford. He has worked hard in the classroom to be admitted into Stanford, a program that offers an academics/athletic combination that is tough for any school to beat."
Bartow: Stanford. I think Stanford has been the leader here for the last for or five months. Academics is big with him and no place has a better combination of football and academics than Stanford. Arkansas made a big push and finished second.
Shurburtt: Stanford. The Cardinal remain my pick here because theyve been the strongest the longest. That being said, Arkansas has put up a real fight. Thomas sister is in Fayetteville and there are other family connections. If I get more information that points toward the Hogs, I could easily switch this between now and deadline on Wednesday.
Simmons: Stanford. Ive felt for a while that it was a matter of time before Thomas picked The Cardinal. With his recruiting coach Mike Sanford gone and his potential defensive coordinator Derek Mason off to Vanderbilt, does that change the game for Stanford? I dont think it does. Academics are important to Thomas and I think hes Palo Alto bound.
Wiltfong: Stanford. "In what looked like a runaway at one point has become interesting between the Cardinal and Arkansas but with Coach Shaw at the top of the program in Palo Alto, Stanford has the culture Thomas is looking for both on and off the football field."
