Ballstar (the online franchise) has been going on for the last 8 years.  We advance the week at the most every 72 hours.  If all games have been played before the 72 hours is up, the league is automatically advanced.  There are a ton of trades that occur in this franchise since players don't always get the players they want in the draft, or have a need or don't like players on their team.  Throughout the year, I will be asking you guys for players I should go after in trades, and since these are users we are negotiating with, some bargains will be easier or harder than others.  Enjoy the series.  And make sure you hit that like button and subscribe if you are new.

Episode Focus - De'anthony Thomas

College career
Thomas was one of the most decorated prep football players to ever come out of Los Angeles and one of the most sought after recruits of the 2011 recruiting class.[7] It came as a shock when Thomas announced his decision to attend the University of Oregon over USC, which was 10 minutes from where he lived.[1] Coming out of high school, he was the #1 rated defensive back in the 2011 recruiting class but his desire to play offense in college grew over his senior season at Crenshaw High School.[8] On January 29, 2011, Thomas secretly visited Oregon on a recruiting trip and decided to play for the Ducks in Chip Kelly's blur offense.[7]

2011
Thomas had a standout 2011 season as a true freshman for Oregon. Splitting time between running back and wide receiver, as well as returning kickoffs and punts, Thomas amassed 2,235 all-purpose yards and scored 18 total touchdowns, setting a school record for number of touchdowns by a freshman.[9] Thomas was the only player in the 2011 college football year to amass 400 yards each in rushing, receiving, and returns.[9] He was a co-recipient of the 2011 CFPA Kickoff Returner Trophy and a freshman All-America selection. He led all freshmen with 18 touchdowns.[10]

On January 2, 2012, Thomas recorded two touchdowns and 314 all-purpose yards in the Rose Bowl where Oregon won 45-38 over #10 Wisconsin. In that game, his 91-yard touchdown run broke the previous Rose Bowl record for the longest run from scrimmage.[11] His only other carry in that game resulted in a 64-yard score, giving him a 155 rushing yards on just two carries.[12]

The Ducks finished the season 12–2 (8–1 Pac-12) with a #4 final season ranking. He was on many Heisman watch lists ahead of the 2012 season.[13][14][15]

2012
In 2012, Thomas continued his role as an all-purpose weapon for the Ducks. He amassed 701 yards rushing, for 11 touchdowns, and another 445 yards receiving, for 5 touchdowns.[16] Thomas continued to return kicks and punts, including a 94-yard opening kickoff return in the 2013 Fiesta Bowl, where Oregon defeated #5 Kansas State 35-17. In total, he recorded 1,757 all-purpose yards and scored 18 touchdowns.[16] Thomas led the Pac-12 conference in rushing yards per attempt with 7.6.[16] The Ducks finished the season 12–1 (8–1 Pac-12) with a #2 ranking, putting them in the top five of the final season rankings for the third straight season.

Thomas was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated on September 24, 2012. The headline inside read: "Can't Touch DAT: He's not a RB, a receiver or even a starter, UO's DAT is simply a touchdown waiting to happen."[17]

2013
Entering his junior year, Thomas was a candidate for the Paul Hornung Award, as well as being placed on watchlists for the Doak Walker Award and Heisman Trophy.[18] On September 9, 2013, he was named the Pac-12 offensive player of the week after tying a career-best with three touchdowns (all rushing) at Virginia.[19] Combined for 8 rushing touchdowns and 1 receiving touchdown.

On January 5, 2014, Thomas announced he would forgo his senior season and enter the 2014 NFL Draft.[20
