Blackshirtsguru Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 He did nothing different then any other kid who visited Nebraska but committed to another school! He played the game and won. Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 He did nothing different then any other kid who visited Nebraska but committed to another school! He played the game and won. If you call winning getting a free trip to Lincoln in the middle of winter, being the 5th WR in the 5 receiver set, and playing with a QB who can't throw the ball in front of a half-empty stadium, then yes he's a winner.

He wanted to go to Miami...maybe he thought he wasn't getting looked at hard enough....visited Nebraska....now Miami showed real interest....He signed. I never said anything about how good Miami was. He played the "recruiting game" and won. If that is the type of kid he is, then he will fit in nicely at "Thug U" just fine. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 He did nothing different then any other kid who visited Nebraska but committed to another school! He played the game and won. I'm just gonna say this and leave it at this, since we should all celebrate the kids who really wanted in ... but there is A LOT more to the story with Thompkins. If Thompkins wanted Miami, that is fine, but the way he went about it was completely the wrong way. If you want me to put it in blunt terms, Thompkins straight out lied to our coaches. Thompkins is a kid, so I give him a bit of a break. But just based on his actions in the last week, he needs to grow up a bit. But like I said, I'm not gonna focus on Thompkins, as there are kids who really want to be here and we should celebrate them today instead of focusing on this. Quote Link to comment

popcorn Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Thompkins? Who's he? Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Maybe it is a good thing he switched....we need to have good character kids here and since he is going to Thug U than I am sure he will fit in nicely. Quote Link to comment
SkerMin8r Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Meh...rather have a hard nosed, hard working kid than a Prima Donna anyways... Quote Link to comment

Blackshirtsguru Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hmmmm something maybe brewing here....... His HS coach has stated that although he has "verbally committed" to Miami he has yet to fax his LOI. It seems that he may not have a final decision just yet after all. Come on Husker fans did ya really think we wouldn't have some type of drama on LOI day?! Quote Link to comment

MadcatNU Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i don't think he would announce to Miami, only to actually sign with someone else just a couple hours later. Quote Link to comment

Peer pressure is a byatch! Remember he was with a lot of HS team mates that are "U" bound. This one is interesting to say the least! Quote Link to comment
