Do we know if Shaq Thompson is planning on coming back to baseball next year? Although he struggled this year, we have to keep in mind that 2012 was his first year playing baseball since what 6th grade? Going from 6 years of not playing a sport to 4 months of varsity wouldn't be easy in its own right, but to them jump to the pros seems incredible. He obviously has all the speed in the world and a good amount of strength, so hopefully the sox get him back next year, teach him how to swing a bat and read a ball and hope good things happen.

No reason to think otherwise at this point.

Glad to see that Golson's ankles have healed since this tragic display...

Someone always posts that video, and while it's true that Golson got juked out of his jock strap at the end there, check out how far he hustles just to be in a position to make that tackle towards he end. Golson is number 21-- the guy who has a chance to tackle him in the backfield for a loss at the very beginning of the video-- and while it means he ends up missing the tackle twice in one play, if you follow him throughout the play (he stays in frame the whole time), you see him really hustling to track the play and even have a shot at making the tackle at the end.

They threw seven figures at him after flying him up to Fenway for the signing deadline and he turned it down. Good for him for having the conviction to choose what he loves in that situation.

My sources tell me that Shaq took a swipe at a ball thrown his way in the SD State game and.....missed!  |

Brandon Magee - team-high 10 tackles, 5 solo, started at WLB. ASU 37, Utah 7
Shaq Thompson - UW was off this week
Khiry Cooper - Not listed in participation report. Tulsa 27, Fresno St. 26.
Senquez Golson - 3 tackles, 2 solo. Ole Miss 39, Tulane 0
Austin Davis - doing a great job holding the clipboard
From a practical standpoint, Cooper doesn't appear to be in any danger of going pro in football - I'd expect him at the Fort in the spring. Magee, on the other hand, is having a great year, although I have no idea what kind of prospect he is. He's tied for the team lead in tackles per game and interceptions.

Is Golson playing baseball still? At 5-8 he's not much of a corner prospect in the NFL

Actually in corners you can get away with it because the taller WR may know where he's going but you don't so having your hips closer to the ground helps you change direction which to follow their routes. |

Brandon Magee - ASU was off, playing on Thursday this week.
Shaq Thompson - 7 tackles, 5 solo, started at nickel back as UW stunned Stanford, 17-13.
Khiry Cooper - Played, didn't show up on the stat sheet otherwise, and I have no idea why he transferred at this point. Tulsa 45, Marshall 38 (Side note: he did tweet at Alfonso Dennard during the Pats game on Sunday after one of his pass break-ups)
Senquez Golson - 4 tackles, all solo. Texas A&M 30, Ole Miss 27.

Shaq Thompson was listed in the most recent Sports Illustrated among the "Impact True Freshman" in a sidebar article within the Duke Johnson piece.

Gah, slacking:
Brandon Magee
10/11, ASU 51, Colorado 17: 9 tackles, all solo; 2 sacks; started at WLB
10/18, Oregon 43, ASU 21: 8 tackles, all solo; 1 sack; started at WLB
Total: 6 games, 49 tackles, 34 solo; 3.5 sacks, 5.0 TFL, 2 INT, 1 FR, 1 FF
He's been a big playmaker for them. I have a feeling he'll go the football route, but again, I know nothing about his NFL prospects.
Shaq Thompson
10/13, USC 24, UW 14; 5 tackles, 3 solo; started at nickelback
10/20, Arizona 52, UW 17; 5 tackles, 2 solo; started at nickelback
Total: 7 games, 38 tackles, 22 solo; 3.5 TFLs; 1 INT; 1 blocked kick
A freshman, he's in a much different position than these other guys obviously. We know he's interested in playing baseball b/c of the concussion thing, but you have to wonder if he develops and could be a high draft pick, would he turn down NFL money? Could depend on how things go in the minors.
Khiry Cooper
10/11: Tulsa 33, UTEP 11; Started at WR (!), but still didn't record a catch
10/20: Tusla 28, Rice 24: Played, no stats.
Total: 7 games, 3 catches, 30 yards
He'll be in camp.
Austin Davis: Still hasn't played. I missed Kellen Clemens re-signing with the Rams on Sept. 13, so Davis is #3 on the depth chart and has been inactive. Gotta think they're grooming him to be the backup? There are worse gigs than NFL backup QB. I doubt he'll sign.

Well, at least we know that Shaq can hit, although it may be mostly on the football field. Can't fault the Red Sox for trying. The Patriots could certainly use a playmaker in their secondary.

More updates:
Brandon Magee, LB, ASU
10/25, UCLA, L 45-43: 9 tackles, 7 solo; 1 sack; started at WLB
11/3, Oregon St., L 36-26: 12 tackles, 9 solo; 1 sack; started at WLB
11/10, USC, L 38-17: 13 tackles, 10 solo; started at WLB
Season: 9 games, 83 tackles, 60 solo (both team highs), 7.5 TFL, 5.5 sacks, 2 INT (1 TD)
He's going to be considered for all-conference honors. Unless he's got no intention of playing pro football, I'd be surprised if he ever reported to the Sox.
Shaq Thompson, DB, Washington
10/27, Oregon St., W 20-17: 6 tackles, 3 solo; started at nickelback
11/2, Cal, W 21-13: 1 INT, 7 tackles, 6 solo, 2 TFL; started at nickelback (pick led to final TD)
11/10, Utah, W 34-15: 6 tackles, 5 solo, 1 TFL, 2 PD; started at nickelback
Season: 10 games, 57 tackles, 36 solo (both 2nd on team), 7.5 TFL, 1.0 sacks, 2 INT
He's living up to his football hype. He's apparently committed to baseball, but if he becomes as good as his freshman year is making him look, will he remain committed to pursuing another direction?
Khiry Cooper, WR, Tulsa
11/3, Arkansas, L 19-15: played, no stats
11/10, Houston, W 41-7: played, no stats
Total: 9 games, 3 catches, 30 yards
Not much to say here.

Under the heading of who the hell knows, but as bad as Shaq looked last summer in the GCL and as well as he is playing football now, it just is hard to imagine him preferring baseball. I am damn sure that I have never seen a guy in a Sox uniform that had as superbly cut a body.

Shaq made me think back to Bo Jackson... but Bo doesn't know Shaq apparently.
