Lucas Thompson commits to East Carolina

[TheCAFProduction]

He didn't have the grades for UM.

@TheCAFProduction That's the default response whenever X player doesn't commit to X AQ school. Suffice to say that if he committed to UM, they'd have found a way to make him eligible. As would Florida, as would Florida State.

[TheCAFProduction]

@captainsteelbeard If he committed to UM, I would have been shocked. It has been reported again and again that he didn't have the grades.

I'm fine with it. Congrats to ECU on the pick up. I'm just simply explaining to someone who was surprised that he didn't pick a bigger CFB program such as UM.

Fantastic signing by the Pirates...hopefully his commitment will convince others to join the Pirate Nation.

GO PIRATES!!!!

Nothing against East Carolina, but I thought Thompson would have committed to a more high profile university, like Miami, South Carolina, or Georgia.

He's a good pickup for East Carolina, though. Fans of mid major colleges and those who like the underdogs should be very happy.

@RCmack ECU is a special place, and we try to play the biggest teams we can that will do home and homes with us. If they'd let us in to a bigger conference we'd be all over it!

[skankuser]

Awesome! Now we get to see our terrible coaching staff fuck up his development!

[waysway]

@skankuser skank sounds right for you

[Dowdy4LIfe]

Welcome Lucas! Cant wait to see you in Purple and Gold. You will do good things for the Pirate Nation!

[DaQueenCityViet]

6'4 255 safety??? this guy would rip off the heads of Wrs that run across the middle....dude shouldve picked The U, look at the all top safeties that got drafted to the NFL. Andre Rolle, Kenny Phillips, Ed Reed... ect. the U is number one school in the nation in term of producing badass safties and linebackers. anyway welcome to Ecu man, Downtown is really fun, parties go on from mon-sun. Lol :)

[MrTarholehater]

Good choice young man.

[johnb325]

Great pick up for us in pirate nation. You will love it here. I hope he helps show the Big east they made a mistake.

[PirateSuper]

[rowdydowdy10]
