They paid 5 star Solomon Thomas to sign with them and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. He obviously doesn’t want to be there and only is at LSU because no other school matched what LSU paid him. How long does this kid stay at LSU before transferring to FSU? It’s clear he didn’t want to go to LSU and only did so because of money.

Solomon Thomas last words after signing with LSU. Was waiting on a phone call today on some determining factors that could have led to other schools. “Just really disappointed I couldn’t go to Florida State”

I have to ask, did he say anything else after this or was it edited? I just can't fathom that he really ended an interview on signing day where he signed with another school with that line.

NIL era.

What he is really saying is he's disappointed FSU couldn't come up with enough money for him.

What a sad day for college football.

FSU fired his position coach, with whom he had a relationship.
He wanted to go to FSU b/c of him.
He couldn't .
I don't see a big story here.

Bryce Underwood could have gone to literally anywhere and chose LSU. Ripped away from us by 12 million dollar bribe.

I think it also says a lot about F$U that they let him get away.

Sounds nicer anyway, so I'll hope that is the case.

Such a weird thing to say publicly though.

Every school is signing guys who they had the highest bid for. We got outbid for Underwood, Phillips, Stewart, Meadows and Harper.

We had some nice money freed up and got to throw it Thomas' way especially after Harper wanted more out of us and we said no and he flipped.

As for Thomas, he'll probably start as a true freshman here. We lose at least 3 OL starters, potentially 4. And the 1 guy definitely coming back sucked, so there's that

Him and Curne both have big opportunities to start as freshmen here

Assuming everything you’re saying is right, why would he ever go to FSU if they aren’t going to pay him what he’s owed lol. Dumbass hillbilly logic right there. Step over a dollar to pickup a dime.

Tenner paid lance heard when he wanted to stay a Tiger. They bought him.

But what's really sad is a program like tenner that's supposedly a premier program getting out recruited by little ole LSU.

Only one 5 star and fewer 4 stars than LSU. Out recruited by 6 SEC teams.

This all just points out the obvious.... kids go play where the money is at.
