De'Anthony Thomas is the best running back in California and that includes the stables at both UCLA and USC. Right now he is a junior in high school.  He was City champ in the 100 meters as a sophomore, as well as the second place finisher in the 200.  He is simply not to be believed as a running back and will return as a senior next year.  Will he go to USC?  I have no idea but he might even be able to go to Stanford or MIT. His only problem may be his high school.  Crenshaw High is in the inner city and has been sanctioned in the past because of their lack of academic standards.  Never mind, he is the best high school running back to come out of SoCal in decades.
