Jeff Thomas sticking with Illinois. NOT!

[Salt]

Team/Team captains voted JT4 back already - up to Manny like BJ said

Welp, clean slate means clean slate if taking Manny at his word.

 

[InCaneiac]

If the players want him back, it would be foolish for Manny to not take him back. It would be a massive morale booster for the locker room. Having said that, I'm sure Manny and Enos would have to sit Jeff down and have a coming to Jesus conversation.

Here is what is happening here.

The only smoke about JT4 has been manufactured IN THIS THREAD.

People read this thread, like lame local reporters such as Mammary Navarro, and report it, thereby reinforcing the manufactured rumor, which began in this thread.

Like Kekulé’s dream snake, you guys are eating your own tail. Creating your own rumor, and then using your own smoke as proof of the rumor you created. With a couple of flimsy “insiders” - you know who you are - fanning the flames with your wishful thinking.

NEWSFLASH - just because you might have a passing acquaintance with a couple of players on the team doesn’t mean you now shlt, doesn’t mean they tell you shlt, and doesn’t mean they even know shlt. You think MD and the sports administration are blabbermouthing their inside personnel plans to one grunt out of 85? Here’s a clue: THEY’RE NOT.

I have not seen one single realiable thing from JT4 or his camp that would add credence to any of this.

There is no smoke - except what’s been created here.

That did not age well. Nor the tongue lashings and other nonsense porsted with certidude.

I’m here whether or not I’m right or wrong I’m just saying my words came directly from him last night unlike other rumors on him... unless some new developments happened this morning idk I’ll be talking to him later though so I’ll keep y’all informed but if he comes back y’all can give me all the sh*t you want I’m man enough to take that...and if y’all still don’t believe me just ask @apfenny3 he will def back me up on my credibility

 

[k9cane]

As far as Im concerned Jeff Thomas having to play in last years prehistoRicht offense was punishment enough...

Like that line in Rocky 4 - if he can change, We ALLLLLL can change!!!

Bring back JT4!!

 

[Gandara]

I'm not an I told you so guy, just know I ain't eva lie

Never trash another in the Canes fam but if what you said last night was true, you got got by your own homie. Hope the 3-hour phone call thing was a joke.

 

[TriStarCane]

If this is legit and we bring him back it’s the shortest leash ever. No more chances. I’m all for second chances but at some point it becomes enabling and a distraction to our squad

 

[305to954]

Okay..ima play devils advocate for Jeff

Say he does legitimately want to comeback..doesn’t that shoot down the reason that he himself and many on here co-signed about he’s reason for leaving was personal. He wanted to be close to fam and was homesick..that rationale goes out of the window..

So once again If him wanting Back In is true one can conclude that he “left” because he quit on his teammates and team in a tough situation. The O was **** this year. So he quits. One also can say that there indeed was friction and probably a confrontation between him and the old staff.

Now if that’s the reason he left his teammates out to dry and he wants back, if I’m manny I’m not gonna dismiss his request. I’d handle like this: Have a full team meeting with all returning players, lay out the situation to why Jeff quit or “left” the team for all the players. Then let the players vote. AND vote openly. Nothings secretly. Talley them votes. Then have your team captains in a meet with only the staff discuss and decide on what happens next

 

[Cane since 1060]

Suposedly he is in Miami as we speak. Definitely made a comment on Twitter saying be was working out MENTIONING MIA.

Just read his latest tweet he says he's all MIA.

 

[King Slayer]

Manny needs to decide if he is going to be a Richt or a Saban/Urban type.

 

[RedPill Stepdad]

I’m not saying there shouldn’t be a discussion, I’m logically laying out my rationale and guys like you are getting all emotional because you want it to be true.

Get out of your feelings and think like an adult.

Also, Im going to post whatever the fūck I want.

You were saying?

 

[Mackmiller974]

If he comes back then he needs some for of discipline. A game or two suspension or make him get you early and do extra workouts or some ****.

 

[Jesscane]

Ivins is reporting this is more than a rumor. Sources are telling him that Thomas has reached out to Diaz

 

[rmcid]

Never trash another in the Canes fam but if what you said last night was true, you got got by your own homie. Hope the 3-hour phone call thing was a joke.

Maybe he was actually playing Xbox with Manti Te'o's girlfriend?

 

[The Owl]

@MiamiCanes812

Be honest, were just playing against the computer on Xbox and talking to yourself?

 

[k9cane]

if his teammates want him back - and Manny already addressed it with key team leaders, who signed off - Im more than good with it

Manny is showing high levels of savagery, which is great

 

[akad1984]

Haven’t even talked to my own mother for 3 hours on the phone.

 

[CanesAreAble]

This is the first semi-believable thing I’ve seen.

Either that, or Barry Jackson is reading this thread and using it as his source.

I can’t honestly remember him ever breaking anything first with his “sources”. Ever. But there’s always a first time.

lmao not once did I say it was a phone call I already explained that
