USC guilts Matt Thomas into sticking with his plan....

That line from the interview he did with Pete a few weeks ago sticks with me regarding FSU. He said he wanted to get up there to show his Mom the classrooms, dorms, locker rooms, etc. At the time I said it read like a kid who wanted to get his Mother's blessing and show her it would be ok for him to go there. I'm starting to think that's the case more and more.


-OR-

He is leaning FSU, doesn't wanna go to FSU, and wants his mom to see that that isn't the place for him, and knows that he should stay in Miami....

What I don't get is that all this throwing up the U at the all star games, and some videos where he throws up the U at all star games, you just can't take that back. When he made that huge hit on Shane Morris, his initial reaction was to throw up the U. Not the Gator Chomp, or Roll Ride, or USC or Nole bull****, he, in the heat of the moment went and threw the U.

If he goes up to FSU, he how could he come back down here and be welcomed back? Booker T recently has been a UM pipeline, and the rivalry doesn't die. He will forever be known as a nole. I just cannot see that happening.

Sure, this USC **** is disconcerting, but when you really break it down, I think he knows where he wants to go, has known, and thats at the University of Miami.

You think he's dragging his mom up to Tally all to show her why he doesn't want to attend a school and convince her why he should attend one right down the street from her?

Okay.
I think his brother goes to some school in Tally so his mom going up there is not a waste. I don't know if it true on not but I read somewhere that his mom had a ticket to go with him to LA too. It doesn't make his interest in USC a serious threat just because his mom is going with him.

I'm not threatened by USC, I'm threatened by FSU. And yes, his mom visiting another child would be a perfectly legitimate reason for a visit, but that's not what the guy I quoted above was contending.

Does it matter at all that if thomas visits midweek he's going to be given the staffs 100% attention? Maybe having Golden and Duke personally take him around.
 
 
Well I hope you all are right, but I just dont like the vibe. If a kid is "feeling" a program, and is leaning there, I dont see how he doesnt come on an official visit to get the full show from the University, and instead goes off to visit a bunch of other schools, and just squeezes in a quick midweek visit to the school he's supposedly leaning to the most. At BEST I think this shows the kid has no idea where he wants to go, at worst, I think he's leaning elsewhere and one can easily see the "midweek" visit as a courtesy to Al Golden and the local school since they have recruited him the hardest.

Kid is a Cane. He was throwing up the 305 during the all star game. He staying home and representing. Let him get out and enjoy the visits. In the end he knows he is going to Miami and stay close to Mom.

:neonu: Keep the faith boys...Seen it with my own eyes.
 
I'd say he can just take his OV here instead of his scheduled UGA visit, but apparently he doesn't like to break his plans. Sounds like he doesn't give too many ***** about ever taking an OV here. Not good.

This is what you should take away from this. This kid will not be here, he never seemed too personally interested IMO and was only giving us consideration bc of his mom and coach.

And I'm getting negged by mods for calling folks soft shouldered...I mean is there any other way to describe a post like that? ANY other way?

let's have a really dumb and hypothetical question answered

Sean Spence for four years

or Matt Thomas for four?

So because I give a personal opinion of how I have perceived his recruitment, I'm soft shouldered? Ok bud. I actually thought it was a pretty objective opinion. I didn't whine or complain about it, its just the way I see it. **** happens. One Matthew Thomas will not make or break this team.

Because it's just weak to think that this kid "will not be here". There has been NOTHING to support that theory. Conjecture at it's best.

I agree...
 
Sounds to me like banking on him "being here" at some point is filled with just as much speculation. He doesn't have Miami listed as an OV, and his coach said he's "probably gonna try to set something up."
