Reading a lot of comments from bama fans that Thompson is/was bama's best recruiter. Odd, then, that bama's PR Director, Paul Finebaum, has been claiming all season & more so lately that "CNS is the best recruiter in the history of college football". And Finebaum would surely never blow smoke about bama, right?

I didn't realize anyone was even debating what Lance Thompson was: an elite recruiter and an average at best LB coach.
You will sign kids you wouldn't have with him on staff. Just don't expect elite level player development at the LB position. Might not matter because Boom should be able to help coach them up.
That said, lets be real: who gives a shite whether he left or was sent packing? No one at Bama is torn up about him leaving. We will continue to sign top 3 classes one way or the other and top tier coaches will still line up to coach under Saban and make piles of money.
Sounds like we're just going to backfill with Tosh Lupoi anyways so its a wash from my perspective (big time recruiter, average position coach).
