ESPN has a new piece on him - can someone post?

I also think he may flip to Florida as well - I’ve seen that speculated recently

Will any of Florida's top 2025 prospects make late flips?​

Florida prospects make up 12.3% of the 2025 ESPN 300 and some of the state's very best prospects hit November as high-profile potential flip candidates.

Let's start with Florida State. The Seminoles' 2025 class has crumbled amid the program's 1-8 start this fall with five ESPN 300 pledges leaving Mike Norvell's incoming class since the start of the regular season. Those departures leave Florida State with five ESPN 300 prospects still committed in 2025, and none more important than five-star offensive tackle pledge Solomon Thomas (No. 13 in the ESPN 300).

Thomas has kept a quiet recruitment and returned to Florida State multiple times since he committed to the Seminoles last December. Yet Thomas' visit to Miami during the Hurricanes' 36-14 win over Florida State stoked fresh speculation, and sources within the state believe his recruitment could turn as the Seminoles navigate the final months of a disastrous 2024 season.

Also on Miami's in-state radar this month are five-star LSU athlete pledge D.J. Pickett and four-star Oregon wide receiver commit Dallas Wilson, however sources in the state believe both are unlikely to flip in the coming weeks.

Elsewhere in Florida, four-star cornerback Ivan Taylor (No. 50 in the ESPN 300) remains committed to Michigan despite Alabama's continued efforts to flip ESPN's fifth-ranked cornerback prospect. Colorado is among the program's working hard to flip Merritt, No. 52 in the ESPN 300, from his Ohio State pledge, while Notre Dame is set to host four-star Florida defensive end commit Jalen Wiggins later this month.

I’m confused. I thought Thomas backed out of his visit to Miami.

ESPN has given up on CFB recruiting so much so that as much money as it makes they don't put any resources in it anymore so lets not give them any credibility

Yep. They’re going off the reports that he was supposed to be visiting for the FSU game but they put so little effort they didn’t even see that he never made it lol smh

I’m probably over analyzing it, and he was referring to a lot of people I’m sure, but when Mario did the whole podium punching thing I immediately thought of this kid

Go watch Mario's post press conference after the FSU blowout loss in 2022. Not easy to watch, but Mario ended it with a lighter knock on that podium. The same arm , same spot as he did before. Mario obviously had rewatched that tape.
