Jamaica, Coley was without a doubt a stunner and the best offensive weapon in the state last year, but we got played. Thomas was playing very well for FSU before his injury and already getting on the field there. Also the same contributors on this site we speak of will also tell you that Thomas was/is a special talent at a position we really needed help at. Plus he is the type of LB that was perfect for our scheme, so versatile. Collins, keef, and Bostwick would all have been major talent injections at positions of need. I'm sorry I disagree with your post and there is a ton of revisionist history there. We got played bad.....
Thomas went in late in blowout games early in the season so we have to see the results because they're in college now its not about what he was before its what he does at the next level. He was an epic troll and didnt want to even be there at FSU he just got strong handed into staying so yes we got played but by a kid who eventually played himself in the end. Collins was the BIG LOSS I admit and would've been great here, I still think his coach ****ed him over to a worst situation but thats over and done with. Keef and Bostwick just like Thomas have to do it on the field which neither have yet so we can agree to disagree on many things accept out of that group only Alex Collins really hurt us for a fact
The thing about Thomas, Keef, Collins, and Bostwick is that they were all local kids(Bostwick was borderline local) and all at positions of need. Keef would be the most talented DT we had returning next easily. That is true, and kinda scary because I agree he isnt exactly a cant miss prospect but the guys we don have just flat out suck, which made him that much more impressive. Bostwick was always a SDE here, but we need all the help we can get. In terms of Bostwick and Keef, we didnt even get two JAGs to replace them. I mean this in a respectful matter but your line of thinking here is delusional. We were already in a ****** spot with DTs. Keef and Bostwick were bigger loses than Collins, who in his own right was a big loss. Also M Thomas was the top prospect in S Fl last year, now that isnt to discredit Coley who is a mega stud and a 1st round talent, but Thomas was/is a ridiculous prospect.
