Noel Thomas

[Jerry1714]

Edsall was unaware that they had legalized the forward pass during his first four years. Randy, let us not forget, started the downward spiral of run, run, run and set us back years in developing a decent offense.

Oh god, how much would you pay to have Edsall back and to actually win games?

Edsall jokes are funny but he was better than than this clown.

Thomas is better with YAC than any wide receiver UConn since it went to the 1A from 1AA.

I liked they got touches for him on sweeps a couple of times and they need more of that.

That's what I love about Noel. Haven't seen a husky receiver pick up so many YACs before. I don't remember Geremy Davis adding YACs like...ever?

 

[uconnphil2016]

I'm already sad about wasting Mayala's next few years like Thomas'.

Eh. He's alright. OT but I have a feeling that we're going to be reading about Beals transferring in the offseason. He's never involved in the offense and I was really impressed with him in the first half of his freshman campaign. So bizarre. He definitely has skill, but Diaco is pushing him out the door.

Easley moved very well for a guy his size. He had quite a few big plays after short catches. But Noel just seems to have a feel for the defense after catching the ball. It safe to say he is better after the catch.

However, if he concentrated on WR, Darius Butler would have been our best after the catch in the 1A era.

The plays for Beals are eaten up by QB sneaks.

My Norwalk guy!

Evidently you don't know TDH.

He would prefer a four win season if we put up 400 passing yards a game to what we did in 2010.

You know I'm missing him big time.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Marcus Easley? He did more, but otherwise agree about Thomas. Needs a better QB.

I think Geremy Davis was better than both, but it is a very close race.

When I think of Davis or Thomas, I think hands.

Agreed.

When I think of Davis or Thomas, I think what could have been if they had a great QB and an OC/HC with some swagger and balls.

I pray for the day our offense is so explosive that we never see a 4th member on this list.

I agree that Davis had great hands. Probably the best in program history.

But Noel has a drop almost every game. And he doesn't always execute the tough catch. Good hands not great hands.

I'll always remember Geremy Davis going up the sideline against Michigan and making a diving catch in the endzone that left me floored. It got called back because of a penalty at the LOS, but man that was a heck of a catch

You could not be more wrong. He has a very few drops and you must have been getting a beer every time he makes those acrobatic catches. If he can get his hands on the ball he usually catches it. He's human and dropped a few but very few catchable balls are dropped by Thomas.

eh he has good hands but not sure hands. He usually has a bad drop or two every game.

I will add this that Noel Thomas will end up being the highest draft pick at wide receiver at UConn ever.
