like how he "can't wait" to get back up to Tally; as it stands, does FSU still hold the slight lead over UM?

I don't know about good sign or not, but he even surprised me with his response. He definitely seemed most excited when talking about FSU and Alabama.

Got the final visit. That's never a bad thing. All schools want that final visit.

Seems like he has something good to say about all the schools he is considering. Kid handled the recruiting process as well as anybody. Class act and good luck to him wherever he goes.... hopefully Miami!

Aren't you going to be satisfied with JHC for a few more years. Thomas is our guy.

More than satisfied. I just think Thomas is the best player in this class and I'd take him over anyone in this class except Tunsil.

I don't think he's as good as Jordan Jenkins, but we have been known to field 2 OLB's at the same time.
I'm glad he's taking an OV here though. He could earn playing time this fall at UGA.

Wow, great article, kinda worry now. He did sound like was really looking forward to the FSU visit...I guess the GA visit is too see what they have up there, but there are definitely late to the party, just a free trip for him. Mid-week visit... ah, I'm not having a good feeling about that; maybe I'm over-reacting a little bit, however it just makes my concerns twist just a little. What a final stretch !

I think our staff has done about as good a job as possible, it will be an interesting decision hopefully you all will get the Mirimar LB and we can have Thomas. Fair trade?
