Just saw a tweet where he will be enrolling at fsu and should be there this weekend I think. If enrolled then transfers does this give him a way around sitting out AND losing a year of elgibility?

"After meeting with coach Fisher and his staff and gathering all the information I have decided to honor my commitment to Florida State," Thomas said in a statement released to Warchant.com. "I also want to be close to my family and I want be part of what they are building at Florida State. I'm looking forward to winning games at Florida State and building towards my future."



It's quite the roller coaster with this kid....by tomorrow he might announce he'll now transfer to SC

Jalen Ram$ey and Matthew Thoma$.

FSU boosters do hate being as mediocre as they were before the 90s.

The media focused too much on what his Dad was saying. His Dad hasn't been a part of his life at all, yet the majority of quotes were from him.

MT, welcome to FSU

How screwed up is this dudes family life? His mom wants him to stay close to home and then all of a sudden moves out of the country. Then his dad takes over but he's never been around anyways?

Pretty normal American household. Biological Dad hasn't been around for very long--Mom is not from the U.S. and went back to her home Country to take care of a sick relative.

I guess Florida State contacted the NCAA and Kiffen found out, so he told MT to just stay put.

Congrats on keeping this drama-laden kid. Hope he works out for you, but doubt he will. These types of people RARELY work out.

Remember, you were the one that was talking about your sources saying FSU contacted the NCAA or were planning to contact them about illegal contact of a recruit. Are you telling us you were wrong about that?

I hope he took USC's money and ran. FSU's lawyers will protect him. More recruits need to do this.

FSU has already contacted the NCAA regarding Kiffen's recruiting of MT

Doubt anything happens knowing the NCAA.
