We quit pursuing him. How did compliance clear him for eligibility? His grades were the issue with us.

Great great player.

Read on our board where he was headed to Benedict ... and didn't comment because of the rumors about UT all morning.

Will not expound on how, somehow, UT got him qualified but good for Thompson. Wish him well and hope he kicks arse in all of them except against SC.

He is a spectacular talent.

This one was easy. Member when we got Jamal Lewis and Travis Henry eligible?

Clearly something happened and it wasn't about academics. If he qualified at Tennessee, he should have qualified at South Carolina.

I'm seeing a lot of rumors about him doing something bad with a female.

Forgive me if I'm skeptical of internet rumors perpetuated by monteg level poster, U_South_Crack, and started by Gamecock fans on Rivals.

The behavior of those retards after Witfong's crystal ball prediction of Quavarious Crouch is rivaled only by the retarded behavior of the retards on Volnation.com

Think about it. He attended multiple high schools in his career, and the only signable offer he had on signing day was Marshall. There was obviously something wrong and he is a risky take.

It sucks he ended up in the same division. He is so good.

I find it hard to believe that a rape accusation of a star football player at Dutch Fork wouldn't make the news, in 2018, the zenith of the #metoo movement.

Behavioral issues are more likely, or drugs, or behavioral drug issues.

247 insider said "severe off-the-field issues" with "multiple instances that involved females." One may have even been on our campus, apparently.

He'll be a great player at UT, and Pruitt probably was okay with the fact that they were just allegations and not charges.

That is what I think too. Nothing against Pruitt, but Thompson is the kind of recruit a first year head coach has to take a chance on to get the program going.

Convenient that this is the first time it's been mentioned, the day it's announced he's enrolled at Tennessee. If he enrolled at Arizona or Marshall, I suspect "grade issues" would be the agreed upon reason for him not being at South Carolina.

I'm fine with this, Lyle left this roster in shambles and we need Goons, now.

It's not a rumor. The guys here from the Gamecock fanbase know how I get my info. It is very reliable.

Not just coming out today, its been known he had off field and academic issues long before signing day...it is what it is and he is a hell of a player and a great get for the Vols. We filled his spot in the class with a grad transfer so its not like we are mad that the Vols "stole him from us", just passing aling the info we have had for a while now.
