Message: [QUOTE="Phenomenon, post: 1176384, member: 3610"] Ahhhhhhhhhhh. So at the tailgate for the Clemson game, a gentleman comes over to my tent checking out the TV and I start talking to him. He says that he coaches a team in south Florida by Fort Myers and that he was coming to check out a former player of his who's now playing at Clemson. He described the guy as the "[I]best corner in the ACC[/I]". He then went on to add that Syracuse just offered his son ([I]I think he said offered. He may have said contacted[/I]). I asked where his son was but he said that he came up to Clemson alone. He said that mom wants the son to go to South Florida to be closer to home but he wants his son to really experience the college life. The [I]you only live once[/I] stuff. Without haste, I reminded him who topped the top party school list, to which he laughed and nodded. He said that the coaches likened him to another kid we have on the team who also plays safety with similar measureables ([I]he started to describe Eskridge[/I]) who's also from south Florida. We talked for a bit now before he had to leave. I completely forgot about his encounter until I clicked that link and I read the description. Thought, "[I]Hmm, he sounds like the player that one guy described[/I]". So I went to the Immokalee website and looked at the coaching staff and sure enough, there is the guy: [IMG]http://www.ihs.collierschools.com/ihs/IHS%20Football/Pics/Head%20Shots/John%20Thomas.jpg[/IMG] [URL='http://www.ihs.collierschools.com/ihs/IHS%20Football/Coaching%20Staff.htm']Linky[/URL] Checked the roster and his son is on there ([URL='http://www.ihs.collierschools.com/ihs/IHS%20Football/Varsity%20Team.htm']Jaymon Thomas[/URL]). 6'3" 175lb safety who dad described as "[I]likes to hit[/I]" Crazy to think that I had the perfect opportunity to be that guy I always hoped Syracuse would have to indirectly grease the pockets of a recruit.
