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.

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.

EXACTLY!!!! Next...................... :thumbs

 
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?! ;)
