My attitude has always been "I can't be mad at a kid for jumping to the pros when he thinks he can get paid" but I REALLY think Thompson should've stayed another year.

The article made it painfully clear his decision was largely based on a emotional reaction to Shafer & Daoust being let go. I admire the kid's loyalty but he left an incredible opportunity on the table.

He could have been the undisputed leader of Cuse football. It would be his team and he could've been the premiere DE in the ACC. He'd be a year stronger, faster and smarter headed into the combine with much higher projection than 7th round/ UFA and less talk about moving to TE.

Not wanting to play for anyother HC is just loyalty getting in the way since he'd be better prepared for the NFL if he learned another scheme. And my understanding is the DE in the Tampa 2 basically just needs to rush the passer.

I'll root like crazy for the kid to succeed but I think he would've increased his odds tremendously if he stayed.
