Love these three points.

"Says Miami is one of his top schools but it isn't much of a competition right now" I don't understand what that means. Does anyone have more insight?

I think it means he likes Miami a lot but he didn't take recruiting seriously so there's isn't really Top Schools...

Means he hasnt visited anywhere else yet so no competition yet. Atleast thats how i took it.
 
My take on it is he's not really going to begin to truly start eliminating and making lists until the season is over. He's open to things but its not his major priority right now.
 
Thomas has visited Miami at least 5 times this year alone, has never visited an OOS school, and has only visited Miami since July 2012.

Appreciate the updates TK! any idea on when he plans to commit? His he going to wait for NSD or an All-American game?
 
kid i sthe long ,quick end that we need.

BEAST.

Guys like him should get the staffs FULL ATTENTION...the rest of the year.....

These the type that needs to be Golden's personal recruits...quite frankly i DONT want Jethro all over him.....

He needs to be a Golden Personal....maybe No Frio...but please get Mr.Franklin away ASAP.

I could be wrong but wasn't he at louisville a while ago, and god I wish that visiting meant something, we've had guys on campus so many times who jus are like ehhhh **** it
 
I'll tell you what Miami needs to do. They need to keep after him but not to count on him or any other of these South Fl. kids. There's a trend toward the SEC and it has to run it's course. These kids talk to each other and what seems cool they will follow. Moten, Clark, and Michel commiting early is ridiculous. Staff needs to play the numbers game and travel the country looking for quality kids and be in a position to take the hits that will come at the end of the recruiting cycle. I doubt this kid ends up here. I don't have a single reason for saying that except we have been having these Miami lock kids break our hearts for three years now.

So true. Kids can visit us 15 times their senior year and still commit elsewhere come NSD. It's almost like visiting UM is more of a social event than visits to other schools.

This ^^^^

No one knew those kids (except sony) were going to commit this early, clark was a huge surprise, even the gator writers were surprised about his commit, these kids are trendy, though i do think something is up with clarks out of the blue commit

He has never visited an OOS school. His cousin Jermaine Reve plays for Louisville though.

So what you're saying is, he's committing to Georgia?

Anything is possible. If I had to guess, I'd say it will either be Miami, FSU, LSU, or Lousiville. No knowledge at all, just guessing.
