Mark Thompson - Florida
The Skinny: The No. 1 JUCO tailback recruit logs in at a beastly 6'2" 242 pounds. Not-so-skinny would probably be a better lead-in here.
The Concern: Depending on a JUCO transfer to emerge can be a dicey proposition at best and Thompson's case is hurt by the presence of two highly-touted sophomore running backs and a Florida offense that has lacked punch for quite some time.
The Upside: Size, strength, and the brute force of a rhino. Head coach Jim McElwain referred to Thompson as "an SEC back" and has a tendency to rely on one guy to carry the load. If reports from practice can be trusted, it appears that Thompson is set to be that guy.
The Verdict: Florida tailbacks rushed for 17 touchdowns last season and with the offense breaking in a new quarterback, expect that trend to continue - and expect Mark Thompson to be out in front of the pack.
Great question GatorTag - I'm a Michigan State guy through and through but have always had a indescribable love for Danny Wuerffel's wonderfully thrown TD passes. I will say this - for some reason that I can't explain, I have always despised Florida State...that's gotta be worth something right?So aggie, did you join just to post that one article or are you going to become a lifetime member?

But really, I wanted to throw the love I feel for Thompson to people that will appreciate it. :)
So you're a Michigan State fan who happened to see a small blurb on Thompson on a fantasy football website, and you figured you'd join a Gator board just to post the article?Great question GatorTag - I'm a Michigan State guy through and through but have always had a indescribable love for Danny Wuerffel's wonderfully thrown TD passes.

Haha, neither. Son's only 1, so he's got a way to go - Actually it's still a Michigan State reference as they were the Aggies decades ago before they were the SpartansMSU - yet there's an Aggie in your name. Son or daughter go to an Aggie school?
Yes, a little more...I wrote the article and wanted to post it to forums where people could appreciate the love for their players. I'm a college football junkie to the nth degree. I believe what I said...love Thompson this year and can't wait to watch him run.So you're a Michigan State fan who happened to see a small blurb on Thompson on a fantasy football website, and you figured you'd join a Gator board just to post the article?
There has to be more to this.

Agricultural school first so hence the Aggies. There was a vote to change name and the Michigan State Staters won. Thankfully someone was wise enough to realize this was terrible and they ended up going with Spartans.No kidding ... did not know that.
Will you post some fantasy football info here this season? Me and this guy named gatordiddy are getting raped on draftkings.Agricultural school first so hence the Aggies.

I can definitely do that - I love talking fantasy football....maybe I'll jump on here as a regular board...Will you post some fantasy football info here this season? Me and this guy named gatordiddy are getting raped on draftkings.
What you did is try and get free advertising, something blatantly against the rules.
Oops, I can only plead ignorance. If you have to remove, I completely respect that - no worries. But like I said, I may just add two cents in every now and then :)
What you did is try and get free advertising, something blatantly against the rules. But you seem like a nice guy so I'll let it slide this time.
While you're here, can you tell me if there's a better college fantasy football website than fantrax? Me and some buddies have used it a few times and i didn't care for it muchI can definitely do that - I love talking fantasy football....maybe I'll jump on here as a regular board...
