2025 Solomon Thomas 5* OT from Jacksonville Raines commits to the Noles (FSU still hasn't learned)

He wants to stay with FSU, but they are making it difficult for him. If we want him, we are going to have to chase hard and pony up and play his games. I don't know if it's worth the time, energy, and money at this point.

I agree 100%. He failed miserably at identifying talent and developing that OL. He deserves to lose his job as OL coach. He was TERRIBLE at his primary job.

I’m just saying he also did a lot of the other “stuff” that Mike needed to recruit players. Atkins was often mentioned by recruits as one of the reasons they chose fsu…some nole insiders thought he would get reassigned to the recruiting staff while he served out his sentence.

He can get a job at them asian spas in Lakeland busted for prostitution. Him and rub and tug Mike
 
Lists LSU and UF as the two who would have a chance in the Wiltfong article from this morning.

“I’m going to say LSU and Florida as two schools that have a chance if the cards are played correct,” Thomas said.

Also says he’s sticking with FSU.

I'm going out on a limb and saying this isn't a kid our coaches want that much. No elite OL recruit from the state of Florida that Mario/Mirabel wants bad enough (and is willing to pay for) would legitimately choose FSU or UF over Miami right now. Now I'm sure we've recruited him and we'd take him. But not at the $$$ his ranking demands.
 
“The blowing up of my phone has been pretty aggravating not going to lie,” Thomas said. “It’s their job.”

Schools that have been in contact include LSU, Florida, Miami, Georgia, Ohio State and Tennessee.

“If you’re not talking about business I don’t want to talk,” Thomas stated. “That’s a real statement. At this point there is no other relationship pitch to be had. With the relationship me and Coach Atkins had, you can’t replicate that this late in the process.

I’m going to say LSU and Florida as two schools that have a chance if the cards are played correct,” Thomas said.

“But I’m sticking with Florida State.”

It is a business decision at this point but he also mentions sticking with FSU who doesn't even have a OL coach and likely will not have a new one before signing day. Something is off with those statements.

Kinda respect that he is treating this like business that it is but still some delusion in this statement.

He's telling fsu that he needs a bigger bag or else he's going to go somewhere that will raise the bid.
