I'll say we already have the 5'10 speed guy in JJ for the next 3 years. I agree that we don't NEED him. But Jeff Thomas is FAR from a dime/dozen type of player. To suggest there's plenty of players with his skill sets is foolish.
We dont have a single player with the hands or route running Thomas has.

You can never have too many 4* skill position players. Need all the playmakers we can get.

Maybe direct that at the person I was replying to.

To me, Johnathan Johnson is every bit as good as Jeff Thomas but there is no reason we cant have two of these guys.
Here's the thing though, Thomas is JUCO bound so it wouldnt be any type of issue for a couple years anyway.

ESL's passing game is based on running double smash, China, and Wolf concepts with the slot and edge wr and Estes being able to extend allowing Thomas to run past his defender. He has elite speed but he isn't going to get a free release every down in college.
You also need to consider the competition he faced. The 2017 and 2018 Illinois recruiting classes have just 5 rated secondary players. None are safeties and none are rated higher than a 3*. Thomas faced one of them all season.
