Thanks. As I finished writing it I went back to scout.com and saw that Adams talked about sitting next to Mobley, Thompson, and some of the current verbals. Any reports/rumors about what he thought of the visit?

I can't add too much to this, but I used to live in Thomasville. I was a sportswriter for the Thomasville Times-Enterprise. I left three years ago so Brandon was just a freshman and he was on the JV then. Anyway, I still stay in touch with some people down there and I was told that Brandon has a lot of family in Ohio and that is why he is high on the Buckeyes.
Talk is that Clemson is still the team to beat, but it's good to hear that he has some family ties here. It may just make pulling him from the South a little easier. Like somebody else said, that part of the country is tough for any school outside of the Southeast to recruit in. It's in Florida State's backyard, but it's also big-time UGA country.
For those that don't know, Thomasville is the hometown of Charlie Ward. Thomas County (population 40,000) has produced 25 NFLers. It's a talent-laden area.
Hopefully Brandon hit it off with Jermale Hines while he was up in Columbus. Jermale played 3 years at Berrien High School in Nashville, Georgia. Berrien is in the same region as Thomasville HS.

Brandon says he loved his visit and will visit Clemson before deciding. tOSU, Clemson, and LSU are his top schools.

Agree with the Rivals guys and several posters...DL with eligible numbers are some of my favorites (probably why I like Bowers and Thompson so much)...

I've heard rumblings about possible grade issues and all but I'm also wondering this...does Thompson have an offer? Seems like he does but there is nothing official.

Good question on the offer. At this point in the year, would OSU have him up on an official if they weren't at least willing to offer? I'm not sure.
Regardless, I can't imagine not taking him if he's interested. |

First I've heard about any form of grade issues...reports a 3.3 and Dad is an Assistant Principal...unlikely that they fabricate the GPA. I'll check on it though just to be sure...
Yes, Brandon has an offer.
