I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I really want to better understand for those that really do have a pulse to the action.  It seems to me that as I followed this young man's recruiting, he was for quite a while a mid-level recruit.  That is, a guy that would be fine to take but nothing program changing.  A guy that few really got all that excited about for a while.  However, as time went on (which also seemed to parallel the absence of any remaining recruiting options) his stock grew, at least from Syracuse fans.  Reedny might be very right for all I know, but his post above mine talks about him helping us become FF potential if he comes here.

So the question is...

Do you really believe Thompson is a special player or is it perhaps more that we are left with him being likely our last option for this recruiting year so fans are drinking the juice and just hoping?  If it is the former, then why is only Providunce and Seton Fall in the mix?  Is this really a case where we can just see things that other top programs don't see or he fits so well into our scheme but maybe not others?

Just curious - thanks.
