My guess it's a weight thing

They've literally been recruiting this kid for over 2 years.

One of the first Sofla kids we heard about this cycle.

yes hes bigger than at they usually bring in at dt and gained weight last szn.

Like if you were to put him standing next to the others we are recruiting nationally he has a bad body even though he can play.

I'd take him as a prospect though and he plays carol city early n other good teams so you will no right away where he is early on.would like to see him dominate those games.

And also we signed 5 DTs last year and brought 2 from the portal,one has 2 years left to play and the other 3 plus Newton who is a redshirt freshman.That's 8 DTs and have 2 committed for this class,

Oh I agree, we won't take many more. I get it.

10 total,we don't need any more depth or projects,what we need is a can't miss impact type to replace the likely 2 first rounders we're losing.

They don't grow on trees. I like throwing numbers at the position, which we've done regardless if we take Thompson or not.

Interesting mention about his body type at DT.

We clearly passed here. The future will tell us if we made the right call in Jenkins over Jamar.

Or was it a matter of FAFO?

Mario isn't going to let the local kids hold the program hostage as they look to increase the bag or chSr clout or whatever it is. You have an offer; if you want in, then jump on board. This isn't Manny's Miami or Golden's Miami. We aren't going to be waiting with our **** in our hand then scramble to grab some 2* "diamond in the rough" from Buffalo, NY

No they had guys higher on the board than him. He couldn’t commit even if he wanted too

No, seems like this kid wanted in for a while…Who knows.

DMoney, Gaby etc have said for a while that they are recruiting Thompson but others are ahead on the board.
 
Good spot for him. Doesn’t seem like any big programs was after him. Should be able to see the field early at GT if he puts in the work
