Kragthorpe Trying to Convince Thomas to Stay

Louisville football coach Steve Kragthorpe is hoping junior safety Latarrius Thomas changes his mind about transferring. In a statement given to me coach Kragthorpe says "We have attempted to contact Latarrius again to discuss his options. We haven't closed the door on his career at UofL."

Thomas is the second player this week to announce he's transferring. Earlier in the week redshirt freshman Matt Simms decided to leave the Cardinal football program. Thomas told the Courier-Journal he'd like to transfer to Eastern Michigan, where former defensive coordinator Ron English is now coach or Arkansas with former Louisville coach Bobby Petrino.
